  • I only have one UBI AP that was swiftly flashed to openwrt watching the shitshow unfold during CV19. I stepped up to a product manager role for a computer component store, took on lots of brands UBI included.

    I didn’t get the hype behind UBI but they sold well and kept my KPIs on track, but working with / being an enthusiast I guess gave me a different perspective from old Joe down the road.

    Not to take away from your post but the trick to riding a bike is not to go slow. The faster you go the easier it is to balance.

    Just like walking a tray of glasses, if you slow down (especially abruptly) the change in momentum can topple some, but keep moving and ‘she’ll be right’.



  • Currently work for an organization helping people on centrelink / workforce benefits get a job.

    I’ve managed pubs, nightclubs and restaurants. Been a dishy and wait person.

    Managed a warehouse for consumer pc parts, with the same mob I did marketing and procurment dealing with some big international brands and local distributors.

    Worked for a government body (think motor registry but broader) assisting people with forms, really just helping them get across the line before they enter the queue.

    Climbed towers and installed mobile equipment / antennas replacing the analog mobile network (3g installs). Installed police cameras in back of their vans along with police radio installs with the same rigging mob.

    Highest qualification I have is year 12, some certificates for safe work / working at heights and some hospo related tickets. Nothing special, just a string of random jobs.





  • Really don’t understand why people are so happy letting llm do everything for them.

    I get a kick out of figuring out how things work, be it my car, a podman container running under nixos or flashing a price of hardware to gain further control over it. An understanding of action and concequence really gets skipped entirely.

    People from my work happily let llms throw code together without any understanding of the how’s and whys (I work in unrelated areas to programming / coding) and it just baffles me. Even one of my workplaces used a llm to make a Facebook ad, and so clearly it became an internal meme (and probably outside of work).

    The Australian government is embracing llms and its baffling my mind as to why, ATO, ServiceNSW and probably another stack all gobble this shit up. Its in their training programs (images, text) and in your face while working. Actually absurd in my eyes.


  • I had a laptop running as a container machine / image processing for frigate using its iGPU.

    Kicked around in my rack without the screen housing, or the bottom housing for a few years. Didn’t have ethernet, so I grabbed a M.2 a+e to Ethernet adaptor which worked a champion.

    Until I let it short out on the tray it was resting on, wasn’t expensive and replaced it with a cheap erying ES motherboard.
