@nerdparker.com Can you check in on Nala Se (Foil)? Looks like an off-by-one error on the card number. (If there is a more official way to bring this up, LMK.)

Goal: Start organizing some files for our light show. But first...

- Move NAS to new physical and network location
- Update internal DNS for new NAS IP
- TLS cert refresh for NAS' UI
- System update for NAS
- Fiddle with new features/settings

Tristan's 3d printer is getting use. He helped me design this clip specifically for our windows and our light show. Couple tweaks yet and then 20 more will get printed.

Please don't forget to do harms modeling! These are harms to human life, dignity, privacy, trust, rights, equality, skill atrophy, etc.

Seemed like a fitting day to go watch the Minecraft movie, indeed. Holy crap, high schoolers are LOUD in theaters. They sure brought the energy 🤪🫨.

Thank you @microsoft.com for the 50th anniversary hoodies! 🥳
Happy 50th Anniversary, Microsoft! @chad.kittel.social and I celebrated with the kids by taking them to see Minecraft. And 200 high schoolers were there.

Ran into this situation yesterday, which was previously described by @iamdevloper.bsky.social a few years back something like...

10 lines of code = 10 issues.
500 lines of code = "LGTM!"

^ Code reviews.

I so wanted to reply to the LGTM! with: Remind me again, what color is your bike shed?

This thing showed me Mars, and its ice caps. Amazing. We also got to see Jupiter, Io, and Sirius. The open air planeta(r)ium was pretty epic as well.
