Well, the new drive from Amazon arrived today, and it’s defective. It would not even initialize. Replacement for the replacement is coming. #SelfHosting

Well it was the drive lost everything. The drive is 10 years & 3 months old. Powers up but not found by windows. New one coming. Bad time for this with shortages. #SelfHosting

Lost access to a hard drive that’s still physically there but not showing on Windows 💻. It holds some irreplaceable data, though I have an outdated backup. Hard drive prices are sky-high 📈, so I’m trying another PC to recover the data before considering replacement. Fingers crossed! #SelfHosting

I know this might be controversial, but ChatGPT 5.6 SOL is really, really good. The tables have turned now, it’s Anthropic’s new model, Claude 5, that reminds me of when ChatGPT first introduced something that felt like a step back. Even in coding, it seems to be outpacing Claude, probably because they hobbled it for the government.

I understand AI firms must manage costs, but token limits hurt coding 💻. They break flow mid-debug or refactor, losing context. Time-based access or guaranteed session times (30-60 mins) ⏰ would protect workflows better. Treating chats and debugging the same with tokens just doesn’t fit 🚫. #AI

I really like Amethyst’s edit-post feature on Android. I just wish more clients displayed edits consistently. I wish there were an Amethyst app for Windows desktop. It would be great to have a more unified NIP or standard approach for editing notes so clients handle it the same way.
Thanks to the Amethyst author for all the work on the app:

Quick Bluesky update: Still locked out after my failed PDS migration attempt. The PLC revert worked and API calls succeed, but the official apps still show a JWT error when loading content. Bluesky support has gone silent for over two weeks. I've escalated to the PDS operators Discord. If you follow me on Bluesky, I can't see or respond to anything there right now.
