  • Gonna just stream of consciousness some stuff here:

    Been thinking lately, especially as I have been self-hosting more, how much work is just managing data on disk.

    Which disk? Where does it live? How does the data transit from here to there? Why isn’t the data moving properly?

    I am not sure what this means, but it makes me feel like we are missing some important ideas around data management at personal scale.





  • You got sold on the capitalist rat race, friend. It’s not a competition. There’s so much stuff you could do that you haven’t even considered that’s way better than the stuff you’re thinking on. Stow away on a ship, climb a mountain, build a birdhouse, grow a garden, create a lascivious interpretive dance that you do in the town square until they throw you in the nuthouse now you need to charm the doctors to get out.

    Think outside the box before you spend so much time thinking you’re not good enough for some random criteria.


  • Google is well known to do A/B testing, meaning you might not get a particular response (or even whole sets of results generated via different algorithms they are testing) even if your neighbor searches for the same thing.

    So again, I ask how your anecdotal evidence somehow invalidates other anecdotal evidence? If your evidence isn’t anecdotal, I am very interested in your results.

    Otherwise, what you’re saying has the same or less value than the example.
