The Sheep Detectives is basically Sir Patrick Stewart shouting "MURDERER" for an hour.. And I love it. It's a good watch, think Knives Out but the star studded group are sheep.

So doctors confirmed an pneumonia this week and it's pretty bad. The endless coughing is splitting my head in two. Fever finally has gone down some due to some medication. They warned me it could takes weeks to recover, so that's fun. How's your week been?

Today in "Sigh, OK, now I have to deal with this I guess": Exploding rolling curtains. Thing just decided it didn't like it's life any more and crumbles away when you pick it up. About 4 years old. Both windows failed on same day. Five other windows in other room with same model, just fine.

We have canceled our sponsored stream with SNK. We have heard the concerns from our community regarding this partnership, specifically the company’s majority ownership by Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund, and the human rights concerns tied to the Saudi government.

Google: we've replace assistant with gemini for g home. Ok, turn off the lights. Works, great. Weeks later: turn off the ac "open the window to lower th.." No Google, turn off the ac "I've turned off the ac" *nothing happened Hey Google, nothing happened "yeah no I can't turn off physical

Oh no.. It was expected but I didn't expect it to hurt so much. :(

Also those "80s/90s/2000s collections" cd bundles can be found for dirt cheap at garage sales and contain at least 75% of the singles you really liked that one time. Music revolution came because we suddenly had choice outside of albums.. Don't let selfhosting take you back to album lock-in.

Pick an album every month that you think it would be nice to revisit when you’re 70 and have forgotten Spotify’s name in the dustbin of history, much less what playlists you were listening to on it. Buy that album.

Well not really fair.. More like what's for dinner? An upside down sandwich with slightly differently cut eggs.. Just to see if that works as well. Or if wanted to switch up your career.. Egg salad with paprika powder.

I admire IT people 20 years in who still run home labs. It's like coming home from the egg salad sandwich factory, hearing, "what do you want for dinner, honey?" And saying, "same thing we have every night: egg salad sandwiches."

I uploaded a Word document to PowerPoint CoPilot.. it's been burning tokens for over 15 minutes now. *taps AI .. this thing is flat-fee, right?

I did a full proper shave instead of just endlessly trimming once in a while... now Windows Hello won't detect me anymore 🤣

Finally installed the aircon in the living room as well.. It's a teaching experience, mostly dealing with problems, solving them on the spot with limited resources. First thing I did was jam another ESP32 into it :) Managed to save my back, until I sneezed last night... getting old 🤣

For those using @esphome.io, the latest update has massive quality-of-life improvements! The overview is better, running batch jobs like fw upgrades happen in de background now and the new edit UI is simply amazing.

Truth.. Also OLED all the things.

If you haven't tried 120Hz yet, don't unless you can afford to switch ALL YOUR DEVICES to it. Going back to 60Hz is extremely jarring (unless you're part of the lucky few who genuinely cannot feel the difference)

So much financial fraud... What a terrible shame.

This auto generated playlist is quite something for a Sunday evening, Youtube

Got to install the home office airconditioning today, looking forward to cool and smooth working sessions without having to escape upstairs. Now to schedule the install in the living room as well. And of course, an ESP32 chip from day one for full local control :D

Serious ask: Does anyone have, or know someone with, first hand experience in neurological effects of GLP1-like medication? Positive and negative feedback welcome. In terms of pain, sharpness, focus etc.

As you may know, I'm a huge fan of Mario. Not many Mario games I've missed over the years and always get excited by new proper AAA Mario games. Saw the Mario Galaxy Movie today.. what a huge let down. The whole thing felt forced, some of the voice acting was really weird and the music often felt

Oh ffs, it actually says that when you google it. Same for the word "clanker".

look how they massacred my boy

I told myself it would never come to this.. today I broke down and did it.. I bought a 19" server rack for installation in my house... Is this a good thing or a bad baaad thing?

Trying to save up points to get some sweet Coke glasses (I'm a sucker for those).. getting this error on their website, woops.

CoPilot laughed at me today for often opening tickets... which is horrible but also untrue. (should I raise a ticket about it?)

"Big bite from a great product" 😅

Watching this, 20 year old(!!!), intro gave me goose bumps www.youtube.com/watch?v=92co... Smashing them shoulder buttons to go through the blade UI.. oh man. The console was 100x more loud back then, though.

Are we perhaps finally starting to be free from the tyranny of corporate minimalism 🥺

This. Very much this. Stop draining our phones with pointless stuff. Unless you do some hardcore hardware accelerated stuff (like high bitrate AV) or something rending realtime (like a game), you can piss off with your app. I now even apply this to my computers.

Maybe this is my most boomer take. Idk. I'm not installing your fuckass app if you are a website I can access via a browser.

Errr, the M365 Defender app for consumers just encrypted my computer (a VM but still) and it's not showing in the Bitlocker control panel. I signed out of the Defender app but the drives won't decrypt automatically. Errr??
