(Saudio Aramco not the one you were thinking I was thinking of.)

Remembering the insane LNUX IPO and how we all knew it was insane at the time. 26 years later that company has been absorbed by Gamsetop and the circle of meme stock is complete.

Hoping for a similar ignomious end for another.

Interesting to see what people are getting up to with vibe coding and then reverting that in the next release without any indication of what bug it introduced.

In other news, replaced a git-annex dependency and sped it up by about 400%

this used to be a dead piano

(will be extended out with a desk)

named after a carpenter by a carpenter

did a lot of "hold this while I measure/cut" as a kid

not a carpenter

somehow rebuilding a piano into shelving+a desk for the past 4 weekends

sad that it's come to this, but here we are

I guess on the bright side, I get to do prompt engineering finally, though I have yet to use any LLM.

a probably lightly provisioned endpoint and also a hilarious page if you visit it

Since meta-externalagent is hitting my cgit half a million times per day in voliation of its robots.txt, I'm wondering where to redirect that traffic to. Any suggestions?

Just plain facebook.com for now, but that seems boring.

On this muggy and rainy day, running the hot water heater in heat pump mode, and it has dehumidified the whole house very effectively. Also cooled it down some but the house design doesn't need AC anyway.

Only problem is it only needs to run for about 4 hours a day, even though there's plenty of solar power for it to run more.

become ungoogleable

I guess I'm glad I saw the fountain in its final miserable state a few years back, fenced off and choked off by temporary tennis courts, stinking of pee, loomed over by a giant naked woman.

I was briefly an almost cool kid in SF, gathering at dusk at the embarcadero to play roshambo with wannabe vampires.

RIP to that other almost life

I'll admit it, I read the orange horror-site threads on renewable energy just because I enjoy seeing SV dipshits continue to sleep on the transition.

I'll bet this poster has also complained that "solar panels don't generate power when the sun isn't shining"

I mean, I had ice before, it was just a giant tupperware taking up the bottom third of the fridge, chilled to typically -10C but sometimes as low as -5.

Have you ever tried to defrost a chest freezer with 15 gallons of ice in the bottom of it? That was not fun.

Got a conventional fridge and reprogrammed my chest fridge to be a conventional freezer, though still one under computer control so it doesn't unncessarily run down the batteries at night. I have ice and ice cream at home for the 1st time in 15 years.

Pity that linux does not have some kind of filesystem hierarchy standard.

Pretty sure that the AO Smith 120v hybrid hot water heater's power usage is measured in their cloud backend at 2x the actual kwh used. Someone forgot to account for the difference from 240v. Lol.

It's cloudy and the hot water heater is turned off to save power. Suddenly,
the clouds break, and the house's battery is confronted with more incoming amps than are safe to sustain. It's about to shut off half the solar panels to save itself. But then the hot water heater dives in and takes the power.

The car's battery is low, and the hot water heater has a good amount of hot water, but could still heat more. It runs for a while but sees the house battery is depleting under both loads, and won't meet the hourly target. So it shuts off to maximise the car and house battery charges.

Or vice-versa, the hot water heater is running low and the car stops charging.

A few scenarios I automated today.. Mostly using less code than it takes to describe them here.
