Last Notes npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis VCs will throw money at your face. npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis looks like it! npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis slllloooooow speed. npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis Now that’s a drill bit. (Biggest one I own, at least) npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis depends on how boring tariffing the wind is… npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis Yellowing plastic isn’t just a #retrocomputing problem! npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis I also suspect France has something in Saint Pierre and Miquelon (19km from Canada), give the smirk Macron has had on his face when he talks about Canada/US relations. npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis The amount of wink-wink/nudge-nudge news stories on Canada and the Bomb are getting hard to ignore. npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis god, that must have been total madness at kdays. npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis I’m a little sad that it’s not a home grown, Canadian design, but I’m sure there are reasons beyond my understanding (… errr money… I assume the Korean built trains are less expensive). npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis nice. I didn’t find that page! npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis I was looking up something about the #yeg Valley line extension on Wikipedia today and I was surprised. The new West and currrent Southeast use different rolling stock: Hyundai units on west and Bombardier on southeast. npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis that’s what I ended up doing. Should be here tomorrow! npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis I’ve only really successfully used a Forstner bit with a drill press and they’re quite pricy at that! npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis interesting. Do you kind of dig it out? npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis I have no doubt about a good hole saw having the ability to cut it, but a hole saw needs to be longer than the depth it cuts, otherwise you just end up with a ring and a hole. npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis I need to drill a big-ish hole (~1.5”) into my house’s band joist to run conduit to my garage. I’ve done this sort of thing before but my house is just a couple of years old and modern houses are… different. npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis Haha… what the fuck. npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis RE: https://mastodon.social/@keyboards/116972480672207285 npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis don’t over think printer surfaces/tables. npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis before I read the text, I thought the same thing. npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis why tho? npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis i didn’t have an Apple branded dongle with a NIC (only usb/hdmi). Very mixed bag (3 of 5 brands don’t work) on off brand dongles for the NIC portion on Linux. HDMI and USB tend to always work. npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis dunno about the pi but this recent annoyance did have me thinking about ways to simplify my setup. It would be nice to just plug in a single PoE rj45 and it boots. npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis Anyone have a recommendation for a USB C wired network adapter that works reliably on Linux? A combo HDMI/usb a/power pass through is ideal. npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis just feels like poor value for money. The phone line will cost them a few dollars a year and you’re going to pay 120. It also kind of feels like bait and switch. npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis I still think this form factor seems futuristic. npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis I thought about one for my kid. I don’t like it that is 9.99 a month if you want to call out. You can add another cell line for that price. npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis I ordered a Clicks Power Keyboard back in March. Supposedly, it's going to be manufactured this month. npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis Cooled my house down to 21c by capturing the morning cool, I think that might be as low as it gets for a while. npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis Edmonton (where I do live) shuttered their city centre airport and we largely regret it. The redevelopment has taken decades and travel has become worse. The area around the old airport has now useless travel infrastructure. It’s a waste. npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis To be fair Pearson, at the time of development, was not the same monster as it is today. npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis not exactly. npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis I made the same connection a week ago! npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis I’ll probably gain no friends here, but I wish Billy Bishop was expanded. npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis such an odd target. I don’t get that issue being so attacked. npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis I’m fascinated by clay #3dPrinting but it seems hard to justify as a hobbyist with non-unlimited free time or a very specific adjoining passion) given the ancillary requirement (air compressor, kiln, etc). npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis 🙄 bike lanes seem like such weak sauce as a shit stirring issue. npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis We had flash flooding yesterday in #yeg. npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis Lookit! The #Valkey blog did a spotlight on me, Percona’s Valkey services and our perspective on caching. npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis best line from the article: npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis I feel like there is some through line between #AngineDePoitrine and Count Binface. npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis RE: https://cosocial.ca/@Chigaze/116886458342291802 npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis still I’m sure Dani has committed some amount of our tax loonies into something that will not bring a hot cent back. npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis Chances of ever being built by this point in the bubble? “Yikes.” npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis we’re about goats now. npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis RE: https://redwombat.social/@sortova/116878794553363711 npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis never done that, but sounds impossible. npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis good tahini, clumsy chef npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis I spilled 1/2 jar of tahini. 0/10, do not recommend. npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis I had never really considered that. it’s a good solution (someone else brought that up earlier). npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis that was some well built hardware npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis I use an 18 count egg tray actually. I hate having 2 cartons kicking around the fridge so 18 means you can buy a dozen when there are still some hanging around from the last batch. npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis I mean, it’s clear you’ve thought about this so I can’t fault you! npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis who goes longways in their fridge?! npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis that is the most random arrangement proposed yet. npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis you’re an egg shuffler. npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis smart! npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis If you have half-a-dozen eggs left in a dozen sized carton, what is the correct arrangement? npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis god. Near and far pointers brought back a flop sweat I haven’t experienced in decades. npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis yeah, I mean, in principle it feels like an interesting thing to jump into while it’s still fairly early, but the messiness of it all is something I don’t want to deal with (or end up on the ‘wrong’ side when it’s settled). npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis this and the meshtastic thing turns me off to the whole technology space. npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis I went to the "Community Recycling Depot Bonnie Doon" and it was strewn with broken glass in the car path. npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis never. I will stop this travesty. npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis what sort of machine had a 5 pin DIN in 1995? Weird. npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis fwiw, that format has been successful for me 🤷♂️ (both in acceptance and attendance). npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis the grunts and squeaks are lyrics in their language. npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis AdP is made for Eurovision but… you know breaking records at Montreal Jazz Fest isn’t the typical pathway. npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis #Eurovision news breaking on #CanadaDay no less. npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis I work in in-memory databases for about a decade now. The price of memory is a huge concern for me as it changes how people adopt these databases. npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis This is bonkers good stuff. I never knew I wanted to build a displacement sensor, but now my head is spinning with ideas. npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis it’s tempting. I pay an arm/leg for legit streaming and cable. npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis I wonder what kind of BotNet it’s serving? 😉 npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis it’ll do good. npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis -40c to ~+32c npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis I’m… i live in a different world. npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis We’ll see. It looks pretty nice at least for another 24-30 hours or so. A few days of drying really helps. npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis It’s over! #yeg #yegwx npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis you should use a hammer next time. npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis we had two months of rain in 2 days. It’s unreal. npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis Welp. #YEG is getting taken out by rain. npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis Okay. I think I’m overthinking this. It’s really not a far run and my yard isn’t finished (…not that I’m happy with that years after completion of the house) so messing up landscaping isn’t a concern. npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis yeah - definitely change it. npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis the CarPlay thing is irritating. Has VW said they would fix this or are you SoL? Our current car is like 10 years old and we just use Bluetooth… maybe we won’t miss it? npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis sorry to weirdly jump in here but the ID Buzz, how bad is it really? npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis Are you on the linear feed or the algorithmic one? npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis SV08 is a great machine burdened by a terrible nozzle system. An upgrade to a to a micro swiss flowtech makes it a near perfect machine. npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis I know it's a joke... but some celebrate not because of the direct impregnating bit but rather a gruelling paperwork process and intrusive interviews with social workers that culminates in a court order (dad via adoption). npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis no shame when end of the quarter dons. npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis end of the quarter. Some poor email marketing schmuk trying to make open rate numbers. npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis I mean, the failure mode of a freezer in our winters is “box” npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis maybe. Still 20c off of the tech spec minimal temp at -10. npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis that was a device I was looking at for sure. npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis Humm. Is that still a thing? I had one 15 years ago that worked-ish. npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis I have a detached garage and I need to add wired (cameras, power relays) and wireless connectivity (garage openers). npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis RE: https://flipboard.com/@ctvnews/edmonton-05m5ijd8z/-/a-_RSElMh6S_qz7Ptdd-RZqQ%3Aa%3A2823982346-%2F0 npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis Baja, British Columbia and Alaska shoots side eye at your dad joke. npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis no idea. It’s for stuffing gift bags. Tissue paper but not for blowing your noise. npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis Flew well for about 10 minutes. My 3 year old was, uh, a little too vigorous with his launch techniques. npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis say more about clear nail polish as an adhesive…
