🚨 INCIDENT REPORT: Auditory Perimeter Breach

Status: TERMINATED
Final Recovery State: Failed
Impact: 100% loss of #Whamageddon eligibility

Timeline of Events:
- Approximately 2 hours prior: Environment was stabilized. Coffee levels were nominal.
- At 10:30: Subject (me) established a position on the sofa.
- At 10:45: Technician A entered the sector and initialized a mobile device.
- At 10:50: Technician A interacted with a social media "Story" element.
- At 10:50:41: Auditory sensors detected a suspicious 120bpm sleigh bell pattern.
- At 10:50:42.08: System identified the distinct "Last Christmas" synthesizer lead.
- At 10:50:42.1194: George Michael confirmed to be "giving his heart away" via 12.5kHz audio stream.

Root Cause:
Audio egress filtering was not enabled on proximate mobile endpoints. The "Home Sanctuary" firewall lacked the necessary physical isolation (headphones) to prevent the rogue transmission during high-risk holiday windows.

Remediation:
None. System state has transitioned to WHAM_VALHALLA. Monitoring will resume in December 2026.

@andrewg I'd even go as far as have the city build the roads. It'll be more cost effective like that anyway. While the city is at it, they can arrange the basic infrastructure too. Sure it will require the city folks to learn new skills and figure out the processes to manage this work, but eliminating the whole issue once and for all would be great.

The greatest barrier to #sustainable urban #planning is that people who can afford to drive everywhere *actively prefer* urban designs that are openly hostile to non-drivers - because it keeps the less-affluent out of the neighbourhood. Cul de sacs, meanders, 2m boundary walls. All designed - intentionally - to make walking and cycling impractical. Unless there is national legislation to mandate #accessible streets, no developer will build them - because that would reduce the unit sale price.

@LionsPhil uh, no thanks.

@LionsPhil The other thing that bugs me is when I donate to a charity, they feel compelled to send me a thank you note or card. No, don't do that. I gave you money to spend on something meaninful. If I wanted someone to thank me, I could have went in personally to hand in the money. I did it in the comfort of my home because I didn't want a thank you note.

More organizations need an option of "I'm a silent donor, ignore me!"

The trip is fairly short, but you can choose the fast route or the somewhat safe route. Even if you try, you will have to ride on a busy road in both cases. Even the "safe" route travels long portions on a busy road with only a strip of paint on the road between you and passing cars. And we know how much room cars leave to cyclists around here.

This is why cycling is so common in cities like Oulu. It's not because "people are just built different", but because cycling is made easy and safe. In fact, even the snowed-over side of the cycle path is still usable and safe for now, but preventative maintenance makes the cyclepath safe and usable throughout the whole year.

Comic, where a cute orange reptile says to a person with rake: "Hello there! DId you know that NOT raking your leaves actually helps wildlife thrive?" The persons answers: "HOW THE FUCK ARE YOU TALKING".

@ChrisPirillo BOOP!

Watching gemini-cli try to edit a file has been... illuminating.

I now understand why AI tools are struggling. If my job was to write regex to modify other regex strings all day, I'd probably start hallucinating too.

Stay strong, little buddy.

I've been walking around Disneyland all day with this shirt. Nothing I've worn before has ever gotten me more compliments, positive comments, fist bumps and high fives.

@rlaimondas @rlaimondas It's a local service that I control. But I guess the main difference is that Jellyfin isn't a tool to download or discover downloadable content, it's just a service to play a local catalog. It's completely agnostic to how that catalog came to existence. It's something I can integrate into my TV and watch directly on the TV with just the regular remote control etc.

@rlaimondas @rlaimondas Oh, sorry. I should have started with that. Media server is a service that you can use to watch, listen and read media that is stored on that machine. For example, you could have a DVD collection extracted to a machine and it would be possible to watch that collection using a web browser (for example).

@rlaimondas @rlaimondas Jellyfin is a media server. If you're familiar with MediaBrowser or Emby, the roots are the same. Emby grew out of MediaBrowser and Jellyfin forked from the last open source version of Emby.

If none of those names ring a bell, then similar applications are Kodi and Plex. Although Kodi serves a slightly different purpose, but it should give you an idea.

Or to quote their site:

Jellyfin is a Free Software Media System that puts you in control of managing and streaming your media. It is an alternative to the proprietary Emby and Plex, to provide media from a dedicated server to end-user devices via multiple apps. Jellyfin is descended from Emby's 3.5.2 release and ported to the .NET Core framework to enable full cross-platform support.

They say if it's worth engineering, it's worth over-engineering.

My home network is living proof. Just spent four hours unraveling why Jellyfin wasn't working. What was it? A chain reaction of cert-manager issues, all thanks to misconfigured RBAC, which then required updating Flux, tweaking Helm charts, and finally coaxing Traefik. All this for a media server! And honestly, this is a simplified version of my setup.

Sometimes, I think we just love the challenge.

Incense plays an important role in Vietnamese life. It is considered as a sacred bridge to connect the visible life of human beings and the world of heaven, earth, and gods.

@rlaimondas @rlaimondas I did, my workflow is pretty optimized for the things I do and most things are self improving. In the picture I was asking it to consolidate any random changes I had made into the various documents and it actually ended up improving the command itself to better do its task.
