My reason for having #facebook is to buy/sell on Marketplace. There isn’t anything else to do of value IMHO. I’m annoyed Facebook has been able to displace #craigslist. But I’m guessing it’s partially because Craigslist didn’t police businesses that ruined search with keyword and hashtag […]

Updated the most 💩 app on my phone: #YouTube. They somehow broke search so you cannot search. It’s not possible to select the search box to type anything. Unbelievable.

Unlocked 500-day streak achievement on #Reddit. I’m 1 out of 1.18 million users that have done this it seems… 😂

This is probably more of a personal failure over an achievement!

Thinking about that time when I had such a great username of “bryan”at my credit union.

When more than 3 attempted logins failed, my account would get locked. They had me change my username to something resembling a password to stop accidental attempts.

I really hate how stupid security is at […]

Setup daily backups of my #sqlite for my #gotosocial server. Backups go to S3 at the moment but I’ll add just archiving to a local path or maybe scp to a host? I dunno. Don’t need to make things too complicated.

I put the script on #codeberg for others to use if they want.

TODO: add cleaning […]

FWIW I actually clicked the link for this ad on #instagram and got a 504 gateway error.

Have not read either of these books in over 25 years. Maybe I should refresh my memory with a reread. #iliad #odyssey

I really hope #gotosocial gets hashtag blocking/muting soon. I could really clean up my timeline and follow more stuff I care about…

Ads in #whatsapp might finally get people to move to #signal?

Or are people too numb to take action against ads…?

Just scarfed down a #costco hotdog. Washed it down with Zero Sugar Coke. Glad the plague of Pepsi is over.

Looking forward to future ram glut from overproduction. We’ll all be able to have 1-2TB of ram on our desktops. Maybe even ECC will be in style again. 😎

I remember when John Giannandrea was hired at Apple. Internally, we were all hoping this would fix the giant mess that was Siri. So, 7 years later, he retires, accomplishing basically nothing. Siri is still trashy and perhaps even worse. Good riddance and I’d preferred him getting fired like […]

I watched a clip of ‘Big Bang Theory’ on YouTube and enjoyed it. What’s happening?

Wish there was more information on this. Seems thieves break into cars via back window, plug in a tablet, reprogram car computer, and press start button. Just drive away. No need for antenna amplifier for a key fob…

Got a bad cold in #korea, so to avoid getting my in-laws sick, I’ve been quarantined in a guest room for ~3 days now. Probably 1-2 more before heading to a hotel near the airport, then home. Very annoying development for a short ~2-week trip.
