Hmm this seems like a solution to an extremely specific problem that may have been created by using docker for things outside its wheelhouse. Why would I have docker automation that I only trust to do specific things?

What do you mean about the metal content in the microwave? Does the larger chamber make it somehow immune to arcing?

One thing I’ve found interesting with AI art is that it’s changed how I look at handmade art. It is similar in a way to appreciating a handmade piece of furniture or a machine compared to a mass produced commodity item. Art that I previously would have dismissed instantly sometimes makes me think for a second about the artist and how it was made, even when it lacks a professional level of quality. That said, I’ve also seen enough AI art that I can distinguish between garbage slop and something (at least a little) interesting made in Comfy UI. There’s always been a lot of low quality art out there, but I think the real issue is with people trying to pass off low effort generated slop as real art, rather than the gen-AI tech itself (environmental impact notwithstanding).

I have a bike I put together with this mindset and it’s pretty awesome. If any component dies I can replace it individually, even if it’s not made by the same company. No reason an electric car couldn’t have the same benefits except that the average consumer doesn’t care about planning ahead

You might enjoy learning vanilla js and making a site with as few deps as you can get away with. Or a lightweight framework like svelte or preact. The browser stack is definitely some weird shit but it’s still somewhat approachable if you dig under the abstractions that most web devs never venture beyond. It definitely helped me cut through all the manufactured noise.

Spineless tech tips

A few weeks ago I watched Ladyhawk on a 13" TV with a built in VHS player. I realized that my brain didn’t care about the quality as soon as I started paying attention to the content. I still like my 1080p but there’s definitely massively diminishing returns after that.

I use Vscode with markdown preview, with a git repo. The only downside is that Windows incessantly wants to group instances of an application, so it’s hard to keep my notes separate from my coding stuff.

If you think that’s bad, don’t think about how many important communications in the world happen completely verbally.
