We got up on a rooftop in brooklyn with my wife's coworkers and watched fireworks going up all around us. It was pretty chill. Oh yeah, I did a 3 hour bike ride this morning. 25-ish miles, circumnavigating Manhattan north of 30th st. That's an aggressive distance for me, so I basically snoozed all afternoon while my legs ached. Safety Dance fucked around with this message at 04:13 on Jul 5, 2020 |

Darchangel posted:The nice(?) thing about COVID deniers is that it's getting more and more likely that the problem will solve itself. I wish, but it isn't that simple. The common COVID denier risks spreading the disease to more places, increasing infection rates among the general population. COVID deniers in positions of power make harmful decisions that hurt all of us, not just other deniers. It's like if you were on a ship that was on fire, but ~20% of the crew decided that the fire is fake and overstated. It's fun to think that they might simply burn up, but instead they're pushing burning deck chairs to other decks where the fire was previously contained, and the captain and officers keep threatening to shut off the fire suppression systems because they're making everybody wet. You can't get off the ship. There are no lifeboats.

I'm staying in a hotel in New Jersey and the wifi is inexplicable. Every ~20 minutes it will get into a state where my laptop believes it is connected, but it won't route my packets off of the network. Like, I can't even ping a server whose IP address I know by heart, it's just immediate request timeout. But if I switch from the regular guest network to the 5G guest network or vice versa, it's good for another ~20 minutes.

Fuuuuuuck I'm on support this week at work so I don't get to focus but I do get to be a week behind where I want to be in my projects! If Only There Was Some Way Of Predicting This It's every five weeks, and it always happens in the same order, maybe learn to recognize patterns dumbass

I've been using Shotcut -- https://shotcut.org/ . It's free and open source, but there are a lot of good tutorials on Youtube and whatnot.

Yikes, I went from Inbox 0 at work to Inbox Very Many. I'm gonna spend this morning getting back down to 0. edit: boom. that was easy.

I missed the one mini-HDMI to HDMI cable I have ever owned (and subsequently lost between 2013 and now) the other day when I tried setting up a new Raspberry Pi. Eventually I figured out I could re-flash the SD card with SSH enabled.

When my cat wants attention during the day while I'm working, he's learned he can get it by popping up between my legs and clawing my inner thigh. I'm not a fan, but it's hard to ignore him when he does that.

The last company I worked for once sent me to board a merchant ship anchored in the gulf of mexico because a coworker knocked out their #1 GPS while retrofitting their ECDIS with a data logger. It was a whole big thing.

After going through two Raspberry Pis and two camera modules, I finally have what every man has always wanted: grainy security camera footage of the East River! (check out the tug boat in the lower left corner!) I installed an open source program that detects movement and posts those images with differences to a local webserver. I'm also running a mesh VPN so I can check it from my cell phone. The first raspberry pi had this weird behavior where any image larger than about 300x200 would be glitched. It was almost like the raw image data was being written to some hardware chip, and that was defective. Other than that, it's a great little Raspberry Pi. Not sure what to do with it; maybe just use it as a home Kubernetes lab? Regarding the camera, next steps are: - build a light blocking hood and angle the camera to the left of the office building - replace it with one of the Raspberry Pi High Quality cameras with a C-mount lens so I can focus more on the river (the ultimate goal is to watch the boats going by)

That way I know how it works and if I accidentally email naked pictures of myself to Tajikistan it's my own drat fault. Edit: also if I want I can write nginx rules and build an irc bot that will get the last picture of a boat. It's stupid, but I really like building things.
