I like a black beans and garbanzo beans. Black beans in a salad and garbanzos in curry, hummus, or falafel.
I enjoy black eyed peas cooked with a ham hock, but that’s not for everyone. I like them extra mushy, with hot sauce and spinach added right at the end :)
I also run this way. NFS4 mount for the media Dir. Cache Dir on the local SSD.
No problems streaming 2-3 devices. NAS is happy to serve other files at the same time.
Docker host is nothing special, old Mac mini running Ubuntu.
In a corporate world of vague problems, shifting goals, limited time…sometimes it’s nice to be unencumbered by all that and just fly into shiny things repeatedly:)
That’s why I pick these impossible/pointless personal projects. I just want to have fun writing code.
I have consistently been trying to use AI for the actual tasks I need to complete for work over the last year or so (we are gently encouraged to try it, but thankfully not forced). I have found it to be “successful” at maybe 1 in 10 tasks I give it. Even when successful, the code quality is so low I edit heavily before it’s pushed and attributed to me.
I think the problem I have is I rarely work on boilerplate stuff.
LibreOffice UI hasn’t changed in years and I love it, my muscle memory is retained.
Also while ribbon style UI might be visually pleasing and initially approachable, I find simple toolbars with icons in a line are actually easier to scan and navigate. Whereas a ribbon typically has dividers and buttons of varying sizes making them easy to miss.
The company now offers affected users two years of free three-bureau credit monitoring and identity restoration services through Equifax, which require enrollment by June 30, 2026.
Aka…sorry for this breach, as a consolation, please give your personal information to this other company that will also “misplace” it…
Whompy wheels!
