Back from leave and Github and HCP are so slow. Did I forget or have they just gotten even worse over the last few months?

“I want to trap hungry 19c ghosts in jars to help us with historical research” ✅

If you can substitute "hungry ghost trapped in a jar" for "AI" in a sentence it's probably a valid use case for LLMs. Take "I have a bunch of hungry ghosts in jars, they mainly write SQL queries for me". Sure. Reasonable use case.
"My girlfriend is a hungry ghost I trapped in a jar"? No. Deranged.
"My girlfriend is a hungry ghost I trapped in a jar"? No. Deranged.

I’ve had time off work recently and have been using that time to explore Linux and tech for personal use instead of what I need for work.
That’s led me to the Indie Web or revival web side of the internet and I’ve been loving the premise of making the internet smaller, decentralized and personal.

I can’t tell if I’m missing something or if the ansible molecule docs are just very badly written.

I, for one, welcome the “abundance” fight. It shows the left can fight Trumpism while wrestling with how we can be better than we’ve been.
I have no interest in “actually the government has been doing great” liberalism.

Recommended this a friend recently. They texted this morning to tell me that they made their first-ever call to reps using this app. If you've been scared to call, this can help. If you know people who are scared to call, suggest this.
It's never to late to start and we're gonna need all of us.

Okay, I cannot recommend 5calls.org enough. Enter your address and it will find all your reps (federal and state). AND give you a list of issues to call about AND which reps to call about each of them AND a little script for each, in case it's helpful. They have an app, too.
5 Calls
Spend 5 minutes. Make 5 calls. Make your voice heard.

@jeffgeerling.com I need a whole write up on modern #ansible molecule. Start to finish because every AI, book, and blog uses outdated flags and pip installation methods. As a bonus nobody seems to write about using #podman instead of docker.
