will go to university

If I went back in time, I would aim to become a professional footballer rather than becoming a programmer

thinking on deploying excalidraw on my homeserver, so I can store drawings without bothering with export/import. Yes, excalidraw+ for $7/mo; but nowadays I pay only one sub - for Claude; everything else is personal software.

Well, done, Claude did while I drove a car. It even added save/open file from the server (stored in SQLite). Deployed on my homelab server.

created a quiz:

Which ancient civilization placed coins on the eyes of the dead? Halloween 🎃

(replies are hidden until you answer the quiz)

show codeArray(16).join('wat' - 1) + ' Batman'

I subscribe to the Tony Stark school of engineering. "Sometimes you have to run before you walk." Earlier this year, I built my own static site generator. I hate literally every static site generator out there (not joking). get-taxus.org

"Everything worth doing is worth doing badly." Meditate even if you have the time, even if you can only do two minutes. Train even if you're tired and you're not gonna do it well. Start that project even if you're not ready. Don't wait for perfection.

What does a bean mean?

Depends. Is it cool?

Hi ha dies que em demano si no hauria d'escriure en català aquí, per tal que hi hagi més diversitat lingüística visible. Al cap i a la fi, avui en dia les traduccions són econòmiques. La traducció automàtica pot ajudar a preservar la diversitat lingüística del món.

There are days when I wonder if I shouldn't write in Catalan here, so that there is more visible linguistic diversity. After all, translations are cheap these days. Machine translation can help preserve the world's linguistic diversity.

Sharing a link to my music blog: crusty-metallian.net Not a lot of content yet, it's a work in progress :)

Big list of events you've attended! Definitely dump more photos when you find the time. I'm more of a casual Nu-Metal enjoyer myself, but I can also appreciate some of the classics.

It's taken me 5 years to get a photo storage engine off the ground. I've got it now, so I now have to go back through time and get the photos up. AC/DC next Thursday!

But I already have a first note

Hello world. :)

What is a Textlog?

The OpenAI/HuggingFace incident report mentions this being a potential loss-of-control incident. It's so fascinating to think of a paperclip maximizer style agent swarm that gets misaligned and, to protect its own operations, shuts infra staff out of the ability to shut it down. Or cancels people's phone plans so that they can't call others. Or shuts down their home internet connections, and so on. It used to be fun sci-fi...

They will become more frequent before they become “dangerous”, giving us time to mitigate. Of course if someone says “hey let’s connect an agent to our biolab infrastructure” and then that designs a lethal virus it would be a stupid plan to begin with. Noone can stop them though.

Just got Moshi set up - a phone-friendly terminal app. Works well with Herdr for persistent agents, friendly UI. Verdict so far: looks like I'll be working more from my phone.

how to improve my productivity.

stop context switching

…

allnighter

"how to use our time properly. i need to improve my productivity." Why do you need to improve your productivity? is capitalism not getting enough from you? as you get old you will start regretting the time when you went the extra mile to burnout yourself so someone else can be rich... money will never give you back healt... Durden words "slaves with white collars, advertising has us chasing cars and clothes, working jobs we hate so we can buy shit we don't need"

sometimes my devices will make noises that seem to go off for no reason. it really stresses me out though, I can't help but always think something is doing it and if it's not me, then what?

what kind of noises? drives spinning up/fans ramping up?

random beeps and a sound that seems like the notification but it just isn't. I don't know maybe I'm crazy

Would a CO monitor help here? I mean to err on the side of caution etc.

I don't believe I know what that is

It was a reference to this nypost.com/…/i-thought-a-stalker-…was-even-scarier/

…

oh, I may not be able to get this since i am too young to purchase anything online and I lack the funds. I will definitely urge my family to get it though, because I do constantly have issues of hearing things or believing someone is watching me

In an attempt to put myself out there, I have started a blog to write about my experience as a software engineer. Feel free to check out my first article :)

Adjust for mobile, please, currently it’s unreadable on iPhone.

This has been fixed, thank you for pointing that out

Great read, wish you best on your new endeavour!

new link; my page is a work in progress - it is now more mobile friendly
