    spent way too much time today resurrecting a 2010-era set of components into an almost complete PC. hoping someone can use it and it can avoid the landfill for a long while yet. #pcbuilding

    just dropped $700 into my stupid old gas vehicle for oil, rad flush, transmission and filters. I hate gas/ICE vehicles so much now. it&#39;s all so .... unnecessary. can&#39;t wait to replace it with a 2nd #ev

    so far not too impressed with #mealie. every recipe I&#39;ve tried to import from a URL has had the image scrape get 403&#39;d .... and the import itself is already multiple steps with all the parsing. anyone have success with importing recipes? there is no way the family is gonna manually upload images. #homelab #selfhosting

    I never see #substack links anywhere else in my daily internet use, but for some reason they are all over mastodon. Given that substack is a Nazi bar, the fediverse is the last place I&#39;d expect to find such heavy usage of it. dunno why I&#39;m posting this. just to voice my cognitive dissonance I guess

    blowing my mind a little that neither #jellyfin or #homeassistant supports OIDC auth 😵‍💫 was thinking of trying to put all my home server stuff behind a SSO wall but not going to bother at the moment with those revelations

    happy to be heading home to #canada today. #portugal is amazing and I&#39;ll likely return someday soon for a surfing trip, but I didn&#39;t enjoy Lisbon much. The south was more my jam. and the expense of Europe is real, my wallet is so tired💲💲💲

    Being in #Lisbon during a #heatdome is less than ideal. We&#39;re mostly spending afternoons indoors with A/C. I am pretty impressed with this article and the instructions from the government. You wouldn&#39;t see this kind of detail in a lot of places in North America. https://theportugalpost.com/posts/portugals-heat-emergency-red-alerts-activated-cooling-centers-open-what-residents-must-know-now #heatwave

    I wish #mastodon had a feature to follow hashtags but filter posts written in other languages in those tags. Maybe that&#39;s too complicated to implement as a native feature. It seems Germans in particular use a lot of English hashtags but otherwise write posts in all #German, which I have no proficiency in. An auto-#translate client-side feature might be a good compromise?

    Car charging in #europe continues to be a shitshow. It is so hostile to visitors. I tried my best to give #Remo my money and they make it literally impossible. I am sadly, very glad I rented a hybrid vehicle instead of a pure electric for my current trip in #portugal. It&#39;s worse for charging than our experience in France was last year.

    This one is a bit of a long shot #getfedihired but here we go. I&amp;#39;m writing up a job description for an experienced (4+ years mgmt please) software engineering manager for a backend team (services, APIs, infrastructure). We&amp;#39;d like to hire locally for this one, but the role is fully wfh remote. Looking in #Victoria (ideal), on the island, or #Vancouver (BC, Canada). #yyj #yvr If you like #edm (or music in general) and live in the area... DM me to get a head start.... the role w...
