This year is a 2-Pixar-film year! Hoppers is just around the corner, and Toy Story 5 is shortly after that: youtube.com/watch?v=c51ND9Hdbw0 So stoked about both of these 🤩

And once the Discord servers go away, knowledge will be lost 😞 I miss the information longevity of forums and old web publishing.

@aeronautapp.com A feature request, if I may: Please add image size options. Images consume a lot of vertical real estate while scrolling, and I'd like to be able to choose a smaller size image thumbnail, and click to open it in a new media viewer window. The web page embeds look great, though!

Subscribed! This is a really nice app 😍 I’d welcome an iOS version someday, too.

National media should really be covering the fact thay every major school, museum, and arts institution in the Twin Cities, and hundreds of local businesses are closed tomorrow to protest federal occupation.

Nothing like this at this scale has happened anywhere in America anytime in living memory.

Ubiquiti has such a good native iOS app, and they do a really solid job organizing a significant volume of information about network hardware, clients, settings, etc. Worth looking into if you’ve been on the fence.

I replaced my Ring devices for the same reason, and went with a Ubiquiti setup and I’m loving it, fwiw

I would enjoy watching videos of someone competently building stuff with #Rust and talking about why they’re making the decisions they’re making as they go. Recommendations?

It’s almost like green energy is the only way forward and a handful of oil barons are doing everything in their power to keep that from happening so they can get even richer at the cost of literally everything else in the world.

I sat down to work on a project that uses a Raspberry Pi, powered it up, went to plug in a USB cable, and accidentally dropped the cable's metal USB connector onto the Pi's power management circuitry and shorted something — killing this brand new Pi. Real smooth. 🤦‍♂️

I got rid of all but one or two after ditching cable, but find comfort in still owning the connector compression tool and a few connectors. I can customize the length of the cables I still have, or just pick up some bulk RG-6 by the foot at the hardware store. Hoping I won’t need any of it, though 😅

Dialup AOL is being discontinued next month. The end of an era. I met my high school sweetheart and future wife on AOL, and we maintained a long distance relationship over IMs for years. We celebrated our 17th anniversary a few days ago. You never know what technology will change your life.

This week I’m taking my oldest to EAA AirVenture for the first time. The number of planes landing on Flightradar24 is staggering! Having never been before, I have no idea what to expect, but he’s very into aviation, so this seems like going to airplane Disneyland.
