I am very pleasantly surprised that the new $dayjob offered me the choice of a Mac or Linux laptop. Even with the hardware specs and distro unknown to me at this point I don't even care because I'm glad it's not Mac or Windows. #Linux

&quot;Agentology is a set of beliefs and practices created by the Silicon Valley. SV initially presented their ideas in 2022 as a form of machine learning called LLMs. They later expanded and reframed those ideas as a cult, which they named Agentology.&quot; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scientology #Cult #LLM #AI #Agentology

RE: https://fosstodon.org/@nuclearplayer/116448508522578620 Probably worth just uninstalling the `gh` CLI and just use native `git` before they rug pull you with shit in the `gh` tool.

TIL you can host multiple sites on https://srht.site and I only just saw the paragraph: &quot;You can publish any number of websites to any number of domains on SourceHut pages. If you already published on your “username.srht.site” domain, you must publish again to any additional domains you want to use.&quot; https://srht.site/custom-domains #StaticHosting #Sourcehut

RE: https://hachyderm.io/@pheonix/116390640518838496 47 4,700 47,000 470,000 (a few more VMs and an LB is plenty) Any of those numbers the statement still holds true.

Taking suggestions on a name for an ActivityPub-based fitness tracking app like Strava, but for any kind of exercising since it will use https://fitlanguage.org to compose programs and track sessions. I like non-fedi/AP names like Mastadon and Loops, but as you know naming things are hard. #FitnessTracker #ActivityPub #FitLang
