@sun I don't actually know! but I was just interacting with Mattermost which is still very corporate memphis heavy. TAILS is another one, weirdly.

corporate memphis style looks so dated & garish now

@sun easier to know the true value of friendship after being around a while

@sun early riser logic 😄

either somebody was just fucking with me or I was talking to a dude like 400mi away on UHF

he claimed it's tropospheric ducting and he'd been hearing guys from like 100mi south of me earlier.

I am skeptical, but reception does seem weird today.. crystal clear signal from a repeater a few towns over that I didn't think I should be able to hear well, and a lot more weak signals than I'm used to during my few days scanning the channels in question so far :shrug_akko:

I heard two local hams "meet" for the first time on the nearby 2m repeater today. they started talking about old gear, it came up that one was first licensed in 1957, the other 1962.

you know what this hellsite needs? a bot that posts images from 1980s and 1990s issues of _Commercial Lighting_

Chatbot letdown: Hype hits rocky reality

The hurdles range from embarrassing errors, such as extra fingers or Black founding fathers in generated images, to significant concerns about intellectual property infringement, cost, and environmental impact.

"The core problem is that #GenAI models are not information retrieval systems — they are synthesizing systems, with no ability to discern from the data it's trained on unless significant guardrails are put in place."

bro I don't *wanna* be the change I want to see on the threadiverse, I just want to post in my particular assemblage of niche forums, I am sofa king tired my g_d :blobcatcomfsob:

@deadsuperhero this is very inspiring to see as a ne'er-do-well with aspirations of doing similar with @surfhosting and/or @fediseeds if I can ever get stable enough to do so. I am grinding slowly towards that goal and will be watching your efforts with great interest!

@Moon this might sound insufferably American but I have watched so many Pakistani factory process videos lately and yeah. a lot of respect for what people go thru everywhere, even if those particular ones really should consider wearing shoes when pouring steel into the casting molds.

@Moon yesterday I told a friend of mine who works in insurance that I respect the hell out of him for providing for his family with a 9-5, he hates it, meaningless office work takes a heavy toll on a lot of people

@Moon my sleep-wake is currently derailed to a *bedtime* of 0530 😩💀

been having the biggest circadian excursions in quite a while lately, melatonin step dose increase tonight

@Moon I like Mega but it's hard to pay every year due to the US government retaining a pointless vendetta a decade later

avocados, my dudes

like seriously, I don't eat enough of them, they're excellent.

(I don't eat enough of them because I'm an amerifat who doesn't have a grocery store anywhere close to a walkable distance)

I read a bit about #Veracrypt a while back and was very impressed by their work on preventing cold-boot attacks.

:think_bread:

kinda glad Wil Wheaton got drummed out of the fediverse after reading his latest incredibly cringe post

canned pears are delicious
