Every day my cat hides my AirPods somewhere. Today, they were underneath the couch alongside two of his other favorite toys.

If the AirPods didn’t have find my support, I would never see them again

I am thoroughly enjoying learning SvelteKit! (AI helped me get here) I think next I'm going to try a UI library like Skeleton to give the frontend a go on my own.

Using AI at work, I've had to really be thoughtful with the prompts/information I feed it. Without me explaining proper context and follow up information it simply can't do what I ask of it.

At this point, AI still needs skilled operators to know what to ask/evaluate if what it says is valid.

I finally found a side programming project to work on that is engaging to work on, will help me learn a ton, and( if I finish it) could be a a cool contribution to the self hosting community. 😬

Finally got around to playing and finishing Star Wars Jedi Survivor.

Withholding one gripe, the story was fantastic. The game felt less linear than the first.

I wish the PC port wasn’t so terrible. It kept me from wanting to do side quests/extras. I only played through the main story.

Seriously considering converting my desktop into a small form factor HTPC running @bazzite.gg. I've been doing most of my gaming on the couch with sunshine/moonlight anyways.

Really cool website I found: canyoublockit.com.

Talos Linux is really something special. Setting up a three node k8s cluster in less than half an hour (while reading documentation for the first time) is awesome.

No Ansible or kubespray needed 🙌
