  I have a ring that tracks my stress (among other things). The stress levels can be ‘peaceful’, ‘calm’, ‘focused’, or ‘tense’. I’m ‘calm’ most of the time, even while sleeping. Occasionally I’ll peak into ‘focused’ and very rarely into ‘tense’. However, I have been noticing when I’m working on a slide deck (PowerPoint), I’m ‘peaceful’. I don’t know how I feel about this.

  I was looking up something about the #yeg Valley line extension on Wikipedia today and I was surprised. The new West and currrent Southeast use different rolling stock: Hyundai units on west and Bombardier on southeast. How is that going to work? Are you going to have to change trains (surely not) or are both type of units going to go from Mill Woods uninterrupted to Lewis Farms?

  I need to drill a big-ish hole (~1.5”) into my house’s band joist to run conduit to my garage. I’ve done this sort of thing before in an older house but my current house is just a couple of years old and modern houses are… different. I need to go through ~5” of sprayed in insulation, the actually joist and the structural joist that holds up my deck. Wtf do I do that with? It’s going to be like 7-10” of different types of materials. I don’t think it’s hole saw territory.

  Anyone have a recommendation for a USB C wired network adapter that works reliably on Linux? A combo HDMI/usb a/power pass through is ideal. I run my #HomeAssistant on an old intel MacBook. The wired network runs through a combo adapter that appears to have bit the bullet. The other combo adapters I have on hand don’t seem to work with Linux.

  I went to the "Community Recycling Depot Bonnie Doon" and it was strewn with broken glass in the car path. This is facility has City of #Edmonton #yeg bins and signage. So, I call 311. 27 minutes later, I find out that a) this is owned by the Bonnie Doon Mall, not the city, despite the city bins and branding and it's across the street from the mall. b) It wasn't a litter issue, nor a waste management issue but rather a by-law complaint against the mall.

  RE: https://fedi.copyleft.org/@bkuhn/116485542799811627 The #Blender situation is fascinating. Bradley highlights an important aspect of what's going on. I think there is wide misunderstanding in how money has influence over #openSource projects. Make no mistake, given the source of the money here, people are rightfully concerned. However, there is typically (but not always) good firewalls between money and governance (i.e. engineering). It's possible to not take money at al...

  I’m currently in León, Spain, making my way up to Stockholm for DIS2026 to talk about #Valkey. My travel is truly trains, planes and automobiles: Train to Oviedo, Bus from Oviedo to OVD airport (40km from the train station 😑), layover in Frankfurt, Train from ARN to city centre and finally an Uber to my hotel in northern Stockholm.

  For admin tools, would you rather have a: GUI (web/app based, point-and-click) or TUI (run from a terminal session interactively but not a command line tool)?

  huh. Loca is closing all locations. I kept thinking I wanted to go to “that new grocery store” but never did. I hope building that once housed Andy’s IGA gets a new tenant. That was well located for a lot of folks. #yeg https://dailyhive.com/edmonton/loca-sherwood-park-edmonton-closing
