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.


Interesting on forgejo I’ll investigate as that’s the container I use.
Cloudflare was easy enough as I already use cloudflare tunnels to expose some internet facing services I run. But reducing the reliance on providers is something that I want to achieve.


Yeah was thinking that will be the next step.


How are you combatting the web crawlers / AI shitfest?
My small repos were getting smashed for a while. Was using cloudflare tunnels, have had to put up some barriers via cloudflare to curb the traffic. Probably will investigate some wifu defence but it’s just another thing to do.
Last 30 days images below.
My git isnt anything special, just mirrored from my Codeburg.




Nah, it says their enspired by. Not that it has one onboard.
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’.
Its where you leave your plutonic life partner while you shop for gender neutral frocks.
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.


GWM have a sporty hatch.
Their premium version is more of a sedan, with noticeably worse aesthetics (in my eyes)

KeepassDX is great, works most of the time finding fields in Firefox. Can use biometrics to unlock your database if desired too.
Uses the same databases as I use on my laptop / desktop with no issues.


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.


If you aren’t using the wifi onboard you may be able to remove that M.2 a+e and install a dual sata m.2
Does depend on motherboard but possible.



Don’t worry, M$ say you can launch the command line in 90ms now!


Cant wait to see if Erying get some ES boards on the market from this generation.
My 13th gen Erying ES board is an absolute champion, I’d love to retire my power hungry 9th gen 9900k file / media server with something more capable in the iGPU department.



They wish they hadn’t
You mean the software package from the manufacturer and not a driver?
It probably has a bunch of ‘MDF’ rolled into the price from AIBs and the like.
