Always a blast to have the fire alarm go off in a hotel that you are staying in when you are 18 floors up.

I am not a very frequent flyer, but I no longer care about whether I fly Southwest or not anymore. All my rewards are with them and going forward, they aren’t the only option, they are just another option. Short-term gain and long-term loss for them as a company. - www.dailymail.co.uk/yourmoney…
Jokes on you Meta, this news coverage is more publicity than Sarah had ever gotten before this news broke. Just bought the audio book - www.bbc.com/news/arti…
I do not understand why anyone is paying the ridiculous prices the scalpers are charging for the new AMD and NVidia GPUs right now. What good reason is there to pay 2x+ the MSRP for these cards? Patience people, patience!
Time for GAC 2025 to start tomorrow. Looking forward to reconnecting with my colleagues from all around the country!
One of my favorite lines from the new Martin Hench novel by @doctorow@mamot.fr - “Do good, try things, follow through.” A solid philosophy for all to live by. I feel like it is particularly relevant to credit unions, where our members need more support from good organizations than ever before.
If my experience at the local Starbucks tonight is any indication then it is no wonder why they are laying off people. Slowest service I have ever seen in a drive through. Your coffee isn’t worth waiting 20 minutes for.
I have wanted a PC with dual Pentium Pro 200 MHz CPUs since I was a kid in high-school. It was my dream setup. I can find the CPUs, but I can’t find the motherboard/case to go with them anymore. If anyone has a line on where to find such a thing, let me know.
Deployed a new web app using Laravel Forge this afternoon. Another little app to support one of my favorite twitch streamers that I am a moderator for for. Love these little side projects.
Trying to get into journaling to improve my focus and clarity on what matters most. So far it has proven to be therapeutic if not insightful. I am also using this as a chance to begin writing with a fountain pen which is more fun than I would have thought.
I am getting so tired of being trapped in the AI hype cycle right now. We as technologists need to be doing more to provide people with fact vs fiction when it comes to AI, ML, and how effective these tools are. It’s not healthy to be oblivious to potential pitfalls of these types of technology.
This is why I am happy I no longer run an on-premise MS Exchange server. There are certainly some organizations that need to do so, but the vast majority do not. The risk far outweighs the possible benefits at this point - [https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/microsoft-outdated-exchange-servers-fail-to-auto-mitigate-security-bugs/](Outdated Exchange servers fail to auto-mitigate security bugs)

I get it, not everyone wants to use the hashtag syntax that is ubiquitous on social media. I don’t think tagging with emoji is great either, and it is confusing to people coming from other platforms. Maybe it is time to rethink this. - https://help.micro.blog/t/emoji-in-discover/34 @micro.blog
Nope, not happening Netflix. I don’t get $25/month worth of value from your content. Service Cancelled. - www.theverge.com/2025/1/21… #Netflix #Prices #Increase
Just got a 42U network rack for home for my home lab equipment. I may have a problem…
Thinking about moving back to the Proton Mail platform for email hosting. Exchange is nice and all, but privacy seems like more of a priority to me these days.
