The C Word

This is essentially the Serenity prayer as used in 12-step programs:

God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, Courage to change the things I can, and Wisdom to know the difference.

“All experience hath shewn that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustimed.”

Right now I’m just using it for an AirGradient dashboard, which is an open hardware / open software air quality monitor. I used claude to rewrite the firmware to send the data to prometheus instead if their own servers, and countless other frustrating changes because they make the whole operation dependent on a connection to their servers…anyway, I didn’t want to pay a subscription for something so simple. I’ve thought about using it for some other projects, but for a lot of stuff I just don’t see the need for a dedicated dash.

Dan Carlin did a mini episode of Hardcore History about torture and execution and the first like 20 minutes is him talking about the morality and psychology of consuming it as entertainment and hypothosizing how that could come to be in modern times. Aaannd we’re here.

The drives for my media server are recertified enterprise grade 16tb instead of brand new consumer 8tb. doubled the capacity for like only 20% above what consumer is selling for. RAM screwed me tho. Couldn’t find a way around that one.

They aren’t really dad shoes anymore, lots of young people wear them now. And socks damn near to their knees.

I’ve played an hour of the new one and it kinda sucks. I don’t like it, anyway. and I played a TON of GK1. I’m already looking forward to pirating the new hellraiser game because the CEO or CFO or whatever is a huge AI dickhead. The only other game i’m looking forward to is the Lego City Skylines. I hope they don’t screw that one up with AI.

Here’s a study that claims night owls are “cognitively superior” and that whatever chronotype you are, you must organize your life around that.

Here is a study that claims you are not beholden to whatever chronotype you think you are, and can retrain yourself.

And here’s a study that suggests there are actually 6 chronotypes.

brb, i need to decide if I am a moderately active chronotype or a daytime sleepy chronotype and what effect that will have on my chances of requiring a disability pension or developing diabetes.

this looks awesome. I have never made any middle eastern / north african food for myself but I am going to make this with ground lamb.

Primetime, about the To Catch a Predator show [music] from the 00s. I don’t think it’s out yet

Lmao I used to do this in a slow cooker. So I’m not alone it appears. I live in an apartment and I always wondered if it pissed off my upstairs neighbors

So I guess they managed to hack deeper than the employment records afterall. You can absolutely never trust the first reporting on breaches.

There’s no such thing as Cubs fans, there are only Wrigley Field fans

Begun, the AI wars have.

Cisco has a prompt engineering course that counts for CE credits. I know because it was one of two free courses available that I used to recert recently. Welcome to hell.
