@ami_angelwings Frank Sinatra, One for My Baby

*I think this qualifies for the mood "boring" from the perspective of Joe the bartender!

I love how tired and boozy it is.

I reminds me of the period of years when a friend would get drunk and DM me about how his heart was breaking over the girl he was in love with who was dating his best friend. (The two other parties are now marriesd and, inexplicably, the friend and I are still friends. lol)

Wow, because what #developers really need is a "skill" to make #AI #bots write mind-numbingly #boring tech docs in a dialect only a tiny subset of engineers understand 🙄. Let's just hope the same AI isn't used to generate your next love letter or you'll be left explaining ASD-STE100 to your grandma while she rolls her eyes 👵📜.

Today I was supposed to fix two bugs, prep for a meeting and implement a feature. I picked a side project instead. metaballs, made the field sparse, and now there's a stickman in there. Nobody asked for this

#boring #again the EUFI updates again, this is ridiculous. Rebooting your PC/ laptop should NEVER need to be a major chore in your life.

Dear readers,
I forgot my water bottle. I went back for my water. I paid to park. I ran up the platform steps, and down the platform steps! I caught the train but couldn’t get the app to work so have bought a ticket from kindly clippie. #Success #Parking #Boring

ENDING FAT INSTABILITY

For the first time in a long, long life, I feel stable.

It is boring sometimes.

There is less drama, less urgency, less emotional weather pretending to be meaning.

But in a million years, I would not go back.

I would not go back to the fat instability of mind and body.

Six years of fasting have made the body lighter.

A year and a half of breathwork has made the mind quiet.

Routine has made the days trustworthy.

There is coffee in hand, a warm fire, Pete nearby, the dogs moving through the morning, and a body that no longer feels like an emergency waiting to happen.

None of this is glamorous.

It is simply a life that no longer needs to keep exploding into illness, falls, and confusion to prove that I am alive.

Sometimes peace is boring.

Good.

Boring is underrated.

I have to catch a train to Edinburgh tomorrow and I am trying to decide if I will shell out £1 for train station parking or try to allow myself an extra 10 minutes to walk from the free car park. Any suggestions?

#Mahāsati is a simple #meditation method based on cultivating #awareness while repeating a set of movements. It's especially excellent for when the #mind is #distracted or #unquiet or for anyone who finds other methods of #mindfulness meditation too challenging or #boring

Also really excellent for any time when #walking meditation is not a viable option.

#Instructions to start: https://www.mahasati.org/learn_to_meditate.html
(Videos seem to be broken, but the illustrations and descriptions are good enough to start.)

Good Morning #Canada
In 2013 a silly little survey with zero statistical evidence nominated our nation's capital as the most #Boring city in Canada. It somehow got picked up by major news organizations - must have been a boring news week - and Ottawa has been trying to erase that reputation for 13 years. Let's update that study with the same rigorous standards, meaning none.

Getting #boring shit done today. One thing after another getting crossed off the list. Vehicle inspection booked. Windshield replacement booked. Pension stuff fixed. Bills paid. I'm going to hit the wall at some point, but so far it's smooth sailing.

“You can tell yourself you’re going to #vetthecode #LLMs produce, but that just turns you from being the person doing the interesting thing to being a manager without any actual humans to manage - which was a career future I had specifically rejected by going solo-coder indie. So you get bored of it. You go from reading and code-reviewing everything to just skimming it. Soon you barely even do that. LLM code generation breeds laziness, because managing its output is a fucking #boring task.”

If your room temperature has gone up by 10deg (#leSigh), then the delta between heatsink temp and the air has shrunk by a percentage.
Check your devices, I would say put them in the fridge.

A bot claims 60deg is a risk threshold, but I think its more like 80deg on the CPU.
The percentage depends on your thresholds (60, or 80)

Even though I've been on stage a few times in the last couple of years, this is my first NANOG talk. Feedback from the audience was positive, and while it was basic to a few folks, this information definitely needs repeating.

Wife is leaving tonight on a 15-day EU trip with our 17YO granddaughter...UK, France, Sicily and Austria. This will be here sixth trip over there, and considering the mess we have here in the U.S., I do hope she comes back.

My main task for a couple weeks is keeping her plants alive. And me from 30 years ago would have already ordered the kegs of beer and pole dancers.

Current me might just catch up on my reading.
