(#imqwhlmnq5hp) @prologic For $2 I could find that useful. Not necessarily high bandwidth but if I ever stop email hosting then its just need a Gemini host or a simple http proxy it would be worth it.

Yesterday went to the pet store to buy 3 crickets for our jumping spider. I made the mistake of bringing the wife and kids with. Now we have a bearded dragon.

(#woprw3rtlifp) @iolfree Funny enough, they weren't the underdogs when you dig into stats, which is a big part of baseball. It was only those on TV who look at ratings that constantly picked against the team.

It is an odd feeling when you have been following a sports team your entire life and they finally reach the championship. For nearly all my life the Milwaukee Brewers have been a mediocre team at best. I mostly listened to them on the radio late at night because their commentator was an amazing story teller. Now that they are going to the World Series it truly feels surreal.

(#ld3b35rvlja6) @david I feel like the bubble will break soon for any company going as deep as movq is seeing. Vibe code with bloat from vague requirements will eventually lead to apps that rot. We will soon start seeing one new feature added and an old feature breaks. Not because of bad design but because the AI won't be constantly checking old expectations.

(#u5a67dfdutha) @prologic HARDWARE crowd funding has burned me it two unique ways. I've had hardware that dropped features to hit the timeline and the flop so there never was an option to buy the full version. Felt like a cash grab more than anything. Then there are the projects that delay over and over till you forget about them all together. Had one show up two years late at which time not only was the tech obsolete but competitors had made better products.

(#e2jccuxmikrv) @prologic We recently dropped our One Cent coin so all values end in either 5 or 0. The problem is that between sales tax and people being lazy we still end up with odd totals and then they have to round. The problem is they aren't suppose to round up unless it means not paying sales tax. So they _should_ be fixing the values rather than keeping the extra pennies. But what is worse is when you find people who don't understand how rounding works. I had one person give me 0.95 extra back because they thought it rounded to the dollar. Got a few that rounded to the nearest 0.50.

(#fa5ksqo7hq3m) @david I used to do it all by hand. Postfix and Dovecot, clamav, etc. But since my bigger use case was having multiple domains and hosting for a few people I eventually moved to iRedMail as its just an install wrapper around Postfix/Dovcot and gives things like user account managment with very little need to turn nobs I just went with that for the last 3 years. Would highly recommend. https://www.iredmail.org/

Kinda sad that the MST3k mobile app is no longer with us. I grew up watching the show by having my 7th Grade teacher bringing me a VHF recording each week. For 6 years we did the VHF swap, all per their instructions. Keep the tapes circulating.

We caught a new Jumping Spider (our old ones died from old age and the 300 babies were lost to a cold day while we were out of town). Glad to see the new spider caught their first bottle fly right before we have to head out for the weekend. The kids sure do love their bugs.

(#voxymyudg5m7) @oberon The thing people screw up with Gentoo is you need to have a good reason to compile everything from scratch. If you don't then it isn't worth it. For me it was the fact my computers are alway behind modern tech. And that I have a few of them so I had a build cluster. So I would turn off all the features I didn't need. No build options for common things i didn't use like CUPS, default to cli/tui over X based front ends, save tons of space by disabling extras, etc. It beat installing Debian where a simple app may have GB of extra packages.

(#sikti3lpaxlx) I still haven't figured out a good way to handling the chaotic reply setup for twtxt. Some reply to the main subject, others have a new subject per message in a thread. The tree traversal is easy, but the UX for allowing the different methods is more painful.
