A little unsolicited advice for those applying for web development positions.
Please stop listing your role from a bootcamp as "Software Engineer". Making it look like a job is not helping you out.
Printed a case for my new Pi. I love being able to just find something and print it.
Haven’t built any robots in awhile, so I’m putting my new printer to use to build an Otto Humanoid https://wikifactory.com/+OttoDIY/humanoid

Medium is now threatening to cut me off after loading two articles. (Or the same article twice. Which can happen if you use Reader Mode.)
Honestly, thanks. I would prefer to read almost anywhere but Medium.
@adam I downloaded and extracted it on the server. 👍🏻
@adam I can run it from the server to make sure everything is good for now. But I would like to get it running again on my laptop.
@adam I can’t run borg at all locally. It just errors out. Installed Python 3 but that did not help.
@adam I tried to pull down my backup to my laptop to verify that it was working correctly. Then Python. Now I’m watching football. 😂
Setting up borg -> rsync.net for social.robtarr.net has me over here shaving this guy
@adam 4:00 on Friday and I just prevented Grunt from being added to a project. I think I get to be done for the week, right?
@adam @peregrine That Synology is now sitting on my desk and I'm happy with it. 😄
But there are 0 Daniel Tiger episodes on it...
If you're trying to showcase your GitHub web projects to get a job, I might recommend live examples instead of asking the viewer to download and setup your project.

Shipped a small utility: https://podcastfilter.com. It allows you to filter a podcast feed by matching terms in the episode descriptions and returns a new feed URL containing just those matched episodes.
source is here: https://git.sr.ht/~asimpson/podcast-filter

Nvidia just replaced video codecs with a neural network.
This is pretty mind-blowing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NqmMnjJ6GEg
I don't even wanna think about further implications like faked recordings, online impersonation or the impact on Hollywood productions.
@adam rsync.net it is. I’m also setting up a backup to my synology.
@adam I was thinking S3 Glacier. Cost is negligibly different, any benefits to rsync.net?
@adam But since I'm following you, shouldn't your other toots show up in https://social.robtarr.net/web/timelines/home?
