Volumetric render of the CT scan, showing the leadframe, bolt, what looks like a separate slug of metal and the die.

The Bad:
- Proton Calendar is still a fair bit worse than Google's, particularly the lack of "Tasks" or "Reminders" is a dealbreaker for me to move.
- I tried "Mistral Vibe", for a small web-scraping project, and I really wanted it to be good, but while it was perfectly sycophantic about my ideas and it's "perfectly implemented" work - even after many rounds of prompting it didn't actually get the right results :(

I am joining a secret society of electrical engineers and they just asked me to step into a large coil with a battery attached.

This is their current induction process.

The guy who stole $134B wants you to be upset at the people giving us $100B. But please tell me more about “economic anxiety.” Smh. https://youtube.com/shorts/Z1blswuVrYI?si=T_9Ep9yvFTkew5Iu

He truly is a parody of himself at this point. https://www.comicsands.com/vance-evil-laugh-2028?utm_source=mastodon&utm_medium=infeed&utm_campaign=linkprogram

Let this be a warning to those that have yet to face accountability for their crimes.

The “staffer” who posted the racist video is his alter ego, John Barron.

More DoubleSpeak! We know who the "worst of the worst" are, and they aren't the immigrants.

Lol, holy fuck brey, they just admitting it now.

This is Mussolini shit. And putting it on the Justice Department building is literally saying "I am the law."

He going for it mate. He going for the full Hitler trick. I think he understands that if he doesn't, the bottom will come out of his regime.

@stux Indeed, the sick irony of Doublespeak.

Hey energy nerds we're running our 2nd annual open energy data ecosystem survey. We liberate this public data to serve the community of folks working on US decarbonization, and we can't meet your needs if we don't know what they are! It should only take ~10 minutes. Thank you!

Conference day #3 level of tiredness: I forgot to put on my biking helmet and only realised once I was at the conference venue...

Yup, it was a total waste of time and money: The economic #cost of #Brexit laid bare https://www.thelondoneconomic.com/business-economics/economics/the-economic-cost-of-brexit-has-just-been-laid-bare-and-its-devastating-403099/

This is something that probably sounds obvious to some folks and unhinged to others, but I think it’s worth saying anyway: “workers who don’t adopt AI will get left behind” is right-wing propaganda. It’s more than just a surface-level advertising message. It makes the unstated assumption that workers are all in a state of conflict, racing against one another in competition for acceptable employment. This is the literal opposite of class consciousness! All workers should be aiming for a world where we don’t have to fight each other to earn a chance at a decent life.

I am immensely grateful to the Fediverse for all the encouragement I got here to embark on a #selfhosting journey.

#YunoHost has empowered my digital life in immeasurable ways.

My way of giving back - and fighting the broligarchs of Big Tech - is to create a guide that demystifies the process. I have compiled all my posts so far in a single page:
