This blog post is astounding. Quantum computing is fast being harnessed by Google. shit!

I followed a story link to the Chicago Tribune, and they offered me a $1 deal for a year of access. It was in my price range, so I took it. Even I can afford $.08/month.
Fall is in the air now in Minnesota.

Another day, another web app built 😅 This time tubeproxy, which still needs some tidying up project-wise (bugger all docs, setup guide, etc), but so far it works quite nicely. If you're curious, you're welcome to try it out at https://tubeproxy.mills.io -- Although technically this meant for internal use (as I block Youtube at the network on purpose).

Traveling all day. Can they make air travel any worse?
Don’t answer that.
Traveling this week on business. Airport lounges aren’t what they used to be. They are just crowded closets stuffed with rude slobs stuffing their faces at a mediocre buffet. The enshittification of air travel has no bottom.

@prologic I might have mentioned this already but you might want to look into MoneroPay for payment processing when you get to that point with cas.run. It's a completely self-hosted backend service for receiving and tracking Monero payments and it's written in Go.

@prologic@twtxt.net XMR has all but replaced Bitcoin on the dark web.
Today in NW Minnesota, its 52 degrees. In February. We are on track for the warmest winter on record. Its been disappointing not to be able to avail ourselves of all the winter activities and outdoor sports we typically enjoy. Instead, I am worrying about deer ticks in February. Wtf.
Next week with temps that could reach the 60s, I will probably get a jump on spring cleanup (which usually happens here in May), with the lawn tractor.
@prologic@twtxt.net I totally agree. Our work in aggregate is a competive advantage. We have been subject to medieval punishment for copying a fkng song. But OpenAi should be allowed to suck up all our work and derive value from it… for free??

Update on my Fibre to the Premise upgrade (FTTP). NBN installer came out last week to install the NTD and Utility box, after some umming and arring, we figured out the best place to install it. However this mean he wasn't able to look it up to the Fibre in the pit, and required a 2nd team to come up and trench a new trench and conduit and use that to feed Fibre from the pit to the utility box.

@prologic@twtxt.net That will be a nice upgrade! Congrats.
Happy New Year, peeps!
Took this during our ice storm 3 days ago.
Let me begin my war on Christmas by wishing you all Happy Holidays!

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org I assume the success rate is lower with a bow and low power weapons, so they extend the season. Its probably also safer to divide the seasons.

So.. Of y'all that had covid. Did you have at the end a night where for no reason your brain amped up to 11 and can't sleep at all? It happened to me last night and my FIL the night before.

@xuu@txt.sour.is I don’t recall that symptom. The worst part for me was losing smell. I bought a scent kit to retrain, and it eventually came back.But 2 years later, I still occasionally get a phantom smell that resembles burnt rubber.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org No, we saw a bunch, but I guess I was too picky and wound up with nothing this year. The does were everywhere. This was north of Duluth, Minnesota.

These billionaires are profoundly without intelligence or depth. It's astonishing to see so many shallow, empty fools parading their bad opinions publicly without shame. Let no one ever again fall under the illusion that tech oligarchs are anything more than your racist uncle at Thanksgiving but with more money.

I am playing some ambient music that begins with a sound that's a bit like the drone of an airplane engine, and I spent a good minute or two adjusting the volume wondering why the music wasn't playing because I thought it was a plane🤦♂

@abucci@anthony.buc.ci You just described my tinnitus.
You know that thing when a resting dog gets up and turns little circles before laying back down comfortably?
That’s my iRobot today.
Do you think she might be a little sick, or just content?
Didn’t watch all 5 hours of the TikTok hearings but what I did see was a bunch of boomers asking dumb embarrass staff prepared, technically-nonsensical boomeresque questions like “Does it connect to the Wi-Fi?” and “Why have you not directed your engineers to change the source code?”
I hate TikTok but I hate stupid political shit like this even more. Even when it is “bi-partisan.”

@abucci@anthony.buc.ci I wouldn’t put my name on AI generated text. God knows where those words have been. You think you’ve saved time then suddenly you’re being harassed by DMCA take down letters, or worse.
Another 4 inches of snow last night.
I’m in the market for warmer climes.
Ok, I’ll admit it. I’m tired of snow. I’ve done all my favorite winter activities. Now I am ready to cut grass.
This latest snow storm just wiped me out.
Watched, “Everything Everywhere All At Once.”
wow, what a ride. Highly recommend.
This should win Best Picture.
