Out of the 8 cousins in my family the 2 of us that didn't go to college are the only ones who own a house. I didn't finish 10th grade and I'm looking at buying my second house and trying to figure out how to keep my current one to give to my mom.

My cousins are pretty cool (aside from a couple who are very spiteful) but my aunts and uncles act like I scammed them all for everything they had.

~3tb of a jumbled disgusting mess of miscellaneous files. Somehow it all works on jellyfin though.

I'd be down to try something new if you do end up releasing something. Jellyfin works just fine but I'm not in love with it.

My job used to outsource a bunch of dev work to another company and oh boy did those people love their tests. I don't get it. In my case they weren't even using our actual database to pull data from. They had a bunch of fixture files with generic data that they would use to make a temporary sqlite db for the tests. All of the test ran perfectly with that data, not so much with the actual data. The code is there, can't you just read it and know what will happen?

When I write something I'm never not building it and at least checking that it works and trying to break it.

Accept our lard and savior, he is everyone's dicta.. I mean president. Join us, it's definitely not a cult.

My son has always eaten rice with his hands since he started eating solids. He's not a big utensil guy. I started following him and doing the same.

Luckily we're able to do this because we don't spend any time scratching our asses through the day.

My son is 3 and has better hygiene than this guy.

Do it during the week

Ooo that might've been misleading. I bought them as the local hardware store was shutting down about a year ago. I helped the owner out with website stuff so I got a percentage off plus the out of business sale. I think they were ~$80 originally. Nothing fancy.

I rebuilt my house from the ground up, from the foundation to the studs to the drywall, by myself, it was the cheapest on the market for a reason. So don't worry, the callouses are plenty.

You'll do fine with an electric leaf-blower. If you have a landscaping business or maybe 20 acres, I'd say you're in a pickle and frustration is definitely justified.

The batteries can be a pain and a lot of the cheap ones die quick, buy a few extra quality batteries and remember to charge them. With the cost of gas alone you'll end up saving money in the long-run if you're out there as often as you suggest. I built a solar generator that powers my garage which is where I charge my batteries, so it litterally cost me nothing but the initial investment. I have a quarter acre and do my neighbors half acre, 2 batteries ~$30 a piece let's me weedwack and blow. My mower goes through 2 and I have an extra one just encase I need it.

Having to replace everything you have definetly sucks, I feel like they should just stop selling them and let the ones out there go until they die instead o prematurely going in a landfill.

I've been getting by just fine with a couple standing fans. I've had to turn the ACS on a couple times for my kids when I was around 110F

Before going full blast AC in all the rooms I'll turn on the big Window unit in the living room and set up fans so it blows the cold air through the whole house (our house isn't big) and I find its a good middle ground. It cools down the rooms pretty well.

Back in my early days of Linux I ran this exact command, I forget why, but for some reason my WiFi stopped working immediately after and then SELinux started yelling at me for some reason. I tried to fix SELinux and most certainly commited an innumerable amount of cardinal sins.

I had to reinstall whatever distro I was running at the time

Seems like a solid solution. Why doesn't everyone just do that?

I think your missing something big here.

A while back when one of the popular models came out it blew all the others away in benchmark tests. That got my coworker and boss super excited, we started coming up with different ways AI can help us. Thankfully as I pointed out, our software is proprietary and super secret, and all it took was a couple Google searches to find out a lot of those companies leak data like crazy and AI will just tell other people your secrets if they ask in the right way. So we needed to run our LLMs locally, but for that we'd need some beefy specs. I did the research, wrote a neovim and sublime plugin to integrate our local LLMs in a 'copilot' kind of way. My boss ordered my coworker and I whatever the new macbooks are with 128gb of memory to fit our lovely AI models, bought me a desktop tower and a few GPUs. Then I went on a 3 month paternity leave, came back and have heard nothing about AI since aside that my coworker switched to vs code to try and use continue but got frustrated, switched back to sublime and doesn't use AI anymore.

So yeah, AI got me 2 new maxed out spec machines and 2 weeks of fuck around time writing plugins that were not nearly as complex as everyone thought, just because AI was involved.

For real though, I've tried quite a few times but 9/10 it fails me and I end up spending more time messing around with prompts than it would've taken me to do the thing. Occasionally when I have a mile long error message or something super obscure I'll pass it to ollama and it seems to do well with wittling it down for me, that's about it.

 

I'm about to start my 12 week paternity leave next week thanks to a state program and almost everyone that I've told has had their jaws on the floor that I would even want to do that.

Today I witnessed a group of coworkers almost bragging how little time they took after their kids were born. I've heard stuff like "Most men are hard working and want to support their families so they don't take leave".

To me it was a no brainer, I'm getting ~85% of my normal pay and I get to take care of my wife, our son and our newborn for 3 whole months. and for someone who hasn't taken a day breathe in the past 3 years I think I deserve it.

I'm in the US so I know it's a "strange" concept, but people have seemed genuinely upset, people it doesn't affect at all. Again, it's a state program available to almost anyone who's worked in the past 2 years, I've talked to soon to be dads who scoffed at the idea and were happy to use a week of pto and that's it.

I feel like I'm missing something.

 

I couldn't find an askvets or any similar community, so sorry if this doesn't fit here.

My dog has this weird spot in this left eye where it's cloudy with what looks like a blood vessel in the middle of it.

Over the past couple weeks I think it's moved around a bit, but it's really hard to get him to sit still for more than half a second to take a good look.

He doesn't seem to be in any pain or bothered at all, he's his normal goofy self. I assume one of the cats scatched him and got his eye but with how big and clumsy he is it could've been anything. It has definitely gone down since we saw it about 2 weeks ago.

The only vets nearby are either crazy expensive or mainly deal with livestock, the one we called told us to just keep an eye on it and bring him in if he seems bothered.

Anyone have any idea what this is or if it will go away on it's own? We're debating taking him to the vet but we're talking $300 to walk in the door.

Any insight is appreciated!

 

We have a couple big projects that I'm not comfortable doing myself (mainly roof/foundation repair).

I've had a couple contractors out that I found on google and have been very displeased. Their work might be good but jesus the salesmen they send out.

They range from overly aggressive to incompetent.

So how do you find good contractors? I've noticed the bigger the company, the worse the impression.
