Alright, I took a crack at talking about passkeys for people who use, want to use, or absolutely do not understand Passkeys. https://authomnibus.com/authentication/passkeys/for_users/

I'm eliding a lot of detail in the pursuit of understandability but hopefully it's helpful.

I am also working on a follow-up for "so you're using an Android fork...."

Finally getting to bed at 7:50 AM after writing all night

Adobe Creative Cloud should be accurately referred to as a virus not an app. Of course, that aligns with every product Adobe has been making since decades (remember Flash?).

You might think you're a L33T H4X0R, but I'm running #sway on #kubuntu.

Checkmate, nerds. 🤣

Writing a 4+ dimensional fight is... a challenge.

Rewriting it to make it longer and more detailed and descriptive takes that challenge to a whole new dimension. 😂

I've got this! But I'm going to need another editing pass after. 🤣

Over the last few weeks I was learning how to do better embeddings for NLP tasks, esp semantic search. But i couldn't figure out what to do with them afterwords, I deleted them all. Today, I watched a tutorial on embeddings and realized I could have visualized them! 🤦‍♀️ I had embeddings for different topics and languages, which would have been a great experiment to see how different models do embeddings differently. #embeddings #semanticsearch

quiz question twofer: do you know…

1. …who got himself a mild-ish exercise-induced twingey shoulder, about a week ago?

2. …was a complete fool and tried finding out which movements do feel bad on the shoulder yesterday, managing to injure it properly?

if you guessed me, you’re right. ow.

So, final damage:
- Mellanox SX6012 40GbE switch
- 3 Mellanox 40GbE cards
- 4 transceivers
- 20m of MPO fiber
- 5 direct passive cables

Should get the NAS, ESXi servers and the main desktop up and running with unreasonable amounts of bandwidth. #homelab #networking #whyDoIDoThisToMyself

When I started developing film I decided I would not get into C41 processing: accurate temperature control doesn't sound fun to me.

However.

Push processing for C41 isn't really available in Helsinki, and I really want that - esp. with expired films.

So now my resolve is weakening.

Pictured is one of the culprits, an Agfamatic 108, the first camera I ever had.

It takes 126 film, and I can't find push processing for that even internationally...

Don't look now, but I'm starting to work up a new "WTF is Transmedia" post, probably going up next week

And now there’s a PHP error on my blog.
