Is there a world that giving my phone to my kids does not result in it being covered in peanut butter and snot?

Developer Vs Artist Ai

The other day I was watching [thePrimeTimeagen]https://youtube.com/@theprimetimeagen?si=jVcp23FbfQSFZfDc) and he talked about devs loving ai and artists revolting. There was some discussion in chat about art being more creative and prime quickly squashed that. He ended with being oddly confused why developers are jumping on board and artists are not. Both had their art stolen to build out the models.

First I want to argue that artists have had some form of ai in their tools for years. Idk, probably not ai as we know it today but functionally similar. Content aware fill. This is a Photoshop feature from Adobe, as far as I know it’s one of the special things you get from Adobe that you don’t get from the FOSS alternatives easily.

This is an example of a good took that is well loves by the community and widely used, if you put ai in it to make it better no one would care, if it made things look oddly ai it would get rejected.

Naming things is hard, pings will now be numbered.

I'm being gaslit by the ai. It just did a big hard change, now cant do a seemingly basic change, and assures me that that its fixed my issue on every iteration.

Dude Locked In
My son wanted to help shovel snow, usually this means, I'll piddle around, have Fun, maybe make things worse, but it's ok cause I'll make it a good time. Tonight he was LOCKED IN and got a good chunk of the neighbors drive and entire sidewalk done.

The dev server is cooking today, I've dropped markata builds from 2m40s (hot cache) in prod to 15s (hot cache) in dev. Currently building 2745 posts and 274...

One Year Of Shots

I’ve been running my shot scraper api for a year now. It creates og images for my website and thumbnails for my Reader using a headless chrome instance.

a histogram of shot counts by day

You can see in the histogram that I’ve had a few big spike days, This has been mostly for days that I’ve integrated into a new service or changed the endpoint. On February 13, 2025 I swapped over from using the post to using template specific to open graph images.

The Wrong Reasons To Run Kubernetes In Your Homelab

Running kubernetes in your homelab is complex, time consuming, there are almost no docs to help you (homelab focused docs for things you want to install), and nothing is copy paste. You have to make everything happen yourself.

There are also The Right Reasons To Run Kubernetes In Your Homelab.

No it’s not. It’s much different than running docker, compose, swarm. It’s meant for scale, it’s complex, it’s made for enterprise, not your local development or your homelab. It can do these things, it can do them quite well, but it’s not the target audience.
