Yeah, I wish git blame could highlight the lines written by Claude/Codex. Usually when I ask my colleagues ‘so did you use AI much for this one’ they will say yes. But it makes code review that much harder, especially when they then take my PR comments and feed them to the LLM, so I’m coding by playing telephone with a bot.

I mostly use:

• square knot (generl tying a rope around something; learned it earlier than memory)
• bowline hitch (loop at the end of a knot that won’t close up, like I need a handle or want to attach the end of a rope to something; learned it in boy scouts maybe)
• taut line hitch (clothesline, tent to stake, something that I can tie loose and then cinch up for tension; learned it from a cousin while camping)

Sounds like there are some other ones I could learn too! But as many folks have said, learn a coupe and use them frequently.

I’ve been enjoying FairEmail. Nice to have options like ‘would you like to remove sensitive data before attaching this image’ instead of ‘do you wish you could turn off this AI bloat’.

Like I said, working on it. But you know, this evening do I try to dismantle ICE, cook dinner, play a game, or research email providers? Lots of competing priorities in life, let’s celebrate the wins.

Thanks. Yes, Google had been evil for a long time, probably before they removed “don’t be evil.” No, let’s not be gatekeepers.

Do post again if you figure it out!

Bought a lifetime pass, switched to Jellyfin after way too much Tidal promotion on my server.

I just downloaded the .deb (unless it was an AppImage) and it ran without further tweaking.

NSFW tag on that image?

That does sound nice.

In the mean time, I usually just set up a “real” home directory in /home/$USER/$USER/ which is what gets backed up, and leave the original one for cruft.

Good point about a default deny approach to users and ssh, so random services don’t add insecure logins.

I added a second switch for the basement lights by the bullhead door. Didn’t want to run wires for a real three way circuit, so I just put a smart switch attached to nothing by the bullhead and wrote a very basic automation to sync its state and the state of the switch really controlling the lights.

I have a washer notification too (dryer beeps on its own). Very handy.
