@kim is going to see her nieces tomorrow so I busted out the 3D printer so she could be the best bad influence possible :neofox_wink_blep: :neofox_peek_knife:

I decided an accommodation I need to make for myself is to get a robot vacuum. Sometimes I really struggle to take care of myself and when the floor gets dirty it can stop me from taking care of other tasks. When my apartment is dirty I often internalize that and it makes me feel like a failure which further contributes to the downward spiral of not being able to take care of myself. I need help so I’m allowing myself to get help

@danirabbit you'll have to let us know how you like it when you've spent some time with it. @kim and I have an older Roborock q5 and I really like it. I've thought about maybe upgrading at some point to one with a mop as well considering our house is mostly vinyl plank and no carpet. It would also be nice if it didn't try to find and eat any USB cable within 3ft of the floor.

@danirabbit @booty @kim and I named ours Dwayne (The Roborock) Johnson. We have voice commands set up so we can scold it like a dog lol. We can yell "Dwayne! Drop it!" And it will pause cleaning so we can retrieve our charging cables out of its mouth.

@kim and I counted the number of mosquito bites I have on my legs from the one evening we sat outside to talk with the neighbors. I have a total of 65 bites on my legs. 20 on my right leg and 45 on my left. I'm starting to worry that statistically I have some sort of mosquito spread infection just from the sheer number of bites I have. And people wonder why I fucking hate the summer. Also I don't like being hot. I need a place where it's overcast and slightly rainy at all times.

I'm trying out a new terminal (Alacritty). My previous terminal (Warp) would update too frequently (sometimes multiple times a day) requiring a restart. And to make that extra annoying the restarted window would create a duplicate icon in my dock. It was minor annoyances that added up. Also it had features I couldn't disable and did not use or have any interest in using (AI crap). I just finished my config and am pretty happy with how it's looking so far.

I got my Pixel tablet today and just got it set up. It's a nice piece of hardware absolutely let down by the not great state of android apps on tablets. I really like the dock tho. Honestly I'm not super concerned about the apps because I don't use tablets for much. The only reason I got this one is because the Google store offered me more money than I paid for my old base model iPad as a trade-in. I mostly just use it for D&D.

Got my new Lelit Bianca today! Just got it out of the box and setup just in time for the weekend. I'm more of a matte black and walnut person though so I'm working on getting a set of the walnut accents. I'm so excited for this machine! :neofox_cofe:

@nathan Thanks! I probably shouldn't make myself an espresso at almost 9pm but I'm super tempted to because I wanna give it a go :neofox_googly_blep:

@danirabbit I went looking for Linux software out of curiosity and not sure if you have already seen it but there's also

I started out my day by falling down a flight of stairs. The silver lining is that I got from the second floor to the first floor much faster right? The rest of it will heal eventually.

micah, to iPod
@micah@ilbery.family avatar

I wanted an electronics project and also wanted a dedicated music player so I'm solving both with the same purchase.

@killyourfm convinced me so I picked up this old iPod video/classic on eBay. I'm giving it a bit of a charge then I'm going to see what all needs replacing. Hopefully it's functional just rough because I'd like to use it as I go.

micah,
@micah@ilbery.family avatar

Great success! I think the battery is not in the best of shape but I've got a bunch of parts for it already on the way. It's gonna be so sick when I get done with it. I think I'm gonna have to fire up a Windows VM or something just to get RockBox on this thing tho, because I wanna play my FLACs.

micah,
@micah@ilbery.family avatar

@cassidy You have to initialize/restore the ipod from iTunes on Windows for the drive to be in a format that works with RockBox from what I can tell. Once it's installed it should work from anywhere but the the bootloader wont install to a drive formatted with mac. At least from what I understand in the kinda chaotic docs of RockBox.

micah, to Starwars
@micah@ilbery.family avatar

Controversial opinion?? I just saw a clip from Rogue One and I forgot how much I liked that movie. It might even be my favorite Star Wars film. I don't have any nostalgia for the old film because I didn't see them until I was in college so The Mandalorian and Andor have probably been my favorite Star Wars media otherwise. Although I did enjoy Ahsoka a lot too.

Like what even is a sleep "schedule" anyway? It's about a half past 1am and I will probably go to bed soon. Yesterday was about midnight, the day before that was like 10pm, and the day before that was 6pm. I could probably use a random number generator to choose a time for me to go to bed and it would probably be almost as consistent as I am at choosing a time.

Am I missing something? Why is there no real market for universal remotes? Logitech no longer makes harmony remotes. They didn't really have competition and no one has really filled that gap since they stopped.

I just got a Sofabaton U2 and having one remote for everything is so good. I don't need every remote all the time, some of them I rarely use, but when I do need it it's the most frustrating thing with everything having its own tiny remote.

But choices in this category were limited.

micah,
@micah@ilbery.family avatar

It has been brought to my attention that there's no money to be made in companies making their things able to be used by other remotes, and walled gardens make more money. So corporate greed is a pretty easy explanation for this.

For the past several weeks I've been debating switching to a dumb phone / flip phone (maybe a Light Phone?), but addiction clearly isn’t the issue. What I’m sure of is this: I’m definitely done giving T-Mobile $55/month for something I barely use.

Anyone have good experiences with Mint Mobile in the US? (I do realize T-Mobile recently purchased them…)

micah,
@micah@ilbery.family avatar

@killyourfm I switched from Google Fi to Mint about 5mo ago thinking I'd save some money but Google Fi was cheaper in the long run and I'll be switching back next cycle. Coverage/service wise though, it's fine. No noticable difference from Google Fi that I've found. Although Fi supports data-only sims and smart watches and mint doesn't afaict if that matters to you.

micah, to Espresso
@micah@ilbery.family avatar

For my second cup of coffee this morning I accidentally made homemade ice cream. Idk why it tastes like that but it definitely does. It's a vanilla maple bourbon latte. I think it's probably all pulled together by the sweetie fruits and milk chocolates of the natural process El Salvador coffee used.

Where can I buy music but get to download it (in either MP3 or FLAC)?

micah,
@micah@ilbery.family avatar

@cassidy @ahoneybun any good tutorial videos or write-up recommendations detailing how best to do this? I need someone to explain it to me like I'm 5. Everytime I have tried to figure out handbreak in the past I get lost in the million drop-downs with various acronyms and magic numbers.

I haven't made the investment into a bluray drive for this reason. I know absolutely nothing about video or audio formats/codecs and I like to learn as little about them as possible for good results 😅

@micah@ilbery.family avatar

My terminal of choice on Mac, Warp, just got a Linux release! I don't use any of the warp ai/drive features but I do like the Launch Configurations feature and it's general workflow. Now we just need to convince them to flatpak it. 😜
