For anyone at that's interested in for any reason, there's a symposium happening next week you might be interested in engaging in.

On Wednesday afternoon, there is a discussion around ethics and academic integrity that may be particularly interesting.

is generally my default goto for image bases when I'm writing stuff from scratch. I love how lightweight and simple it is, so I'll often start there until I can prove that I need something more complex.

On that note - need to move some #Kubernetes data to S3? Here's an #Alpine image I pushed today that includes #s3cmd and zip and gets built/tested/pushed weekly by our Jenkins farm at my $DAYJOB. Perfect for a sidecar container or CronJob backup, etc. Enjoy! (And if this is useful to you, thank the Alpine and s3cmd folks, because they by far did most of the work.)

Tech bros might think I'm using AI today to solve modern, complex problems.

What I'm actually using it for is a lorem ipsum to generate garbage filler for stuff like arbitrary test files.

I had a dream last night that beagles became the world's top domesticated animal, surpassing chickens.

vwbusguy,
@vwbusguy@mastodon.online avatar

@mattdm Maybe the beagles ate all the chickens?

vwbusguy,
@vwbusguy@mastodon.online avatar

@mattdm In seriousness, beagles are often mass bred for research purposes, especially in China and the US, and treated absolutely horribly. It's because the breed isn't prone to health issues and are docile. The same features that make them a great family pet are why they get mass abused.

@mattdm It unfortunately was brought up by anti-vaxxers during COVID to discredit Fauci, but despite the distraction attempt, it is a real issue.

Everyone talking about personal growth and what they did this past year to better themselves during these weird times.

My goodness, #Amazon has thoroughly killed the #Twitch and #TwitchPrime experience with the relentless and intrusive interruption ads.

Not helpful: Complaining about some feature or bugfix not yet being implemented in a github issue.

Actually helpful: Offering to donate money and/or beta test on your own hardware/OS towards the feature or bugfix you want/need.

I need to set aside some time to experiment with passkey with in #KeePassXC and #KeePass2Android.

vwbusguy,
@vwbusguy@mastodon.online avatar

@triskelion Nothing wrong with that! They're both very good and the KeePassXC community is better for both existing.

KeePass2Android comes full featured and occasionally solicits donations (which I've given in the past) where KeePassDX has a more freemium model where you buy an unlocker for things like TOTP support. Both are open source AFAIK.

KeePass2Android works with my nextcloud. I haven't tried that against KeePassDX yet.

vwbusguy,
@vwbusguy@mastodon.online avatar

@triskelion I could be wrong, but last I checked, there was something about F-Droid being the full dev compile and the unlocker being for Google Play?

What if had kept the same sprit and pace they initially started with when they broke from ? Or if did likewise for the early Final Fantasy era? Or from the 64 era?

Maybe it was ultimately an unsustainable pace, but my goodness their glory days were glorious.

@RL_Dane @joel The input lag of Bluetooth on retro gaming is absolute nerve wracking.

vwbusguy,
@vwbusguy@mastodon.online avatar

@joel @RL_Dane It depends on how retro, but you already have lag from up scaling, and there will always be more lag from Bluetooth over wired. I tried Sonic 2 once this way and it was entirely unplayable for me. The experience is night and day from running it on the actual console.
