- Comment on If restaurants just microwave their food can I just get the frozen version and cut out the middle man? 3 days ago:
Yeah, I get that.
It seemed like you presented it as a given that just because it’s at a restaurant, it’s higher quality.
I was trying offer the counterexample and suggest that the grocery store frozen food is also intentionally different making “quality” difficult to compare.

Higher quality seems like a stretch based on the last times someone dragged me to a crappy national chain.
Higher salt and fat content definitely, because that shit tastes good. At the grocery store, you’re far more likely to shop for things that seem healthy, and the restaurant meals would have insane nutrition labels (especially if they were honest about restaurant serving sizes).

Auto lid, auto flush checking in.
Yes, I’m spoiled.
- Comment on Clean butt 3 days ago:
I started with a $30 cheapo 10 years ago and it was life changing. Last year I got a stupid expensive one. Like, has a night light, auto flush (because I got the matching toilet), auto lid, heated seat, heated water, deodorizer, wireless remote, etc. (Toto S7A)
Just so you’re prepared, the air dry doesn’t fully replace the pat dry entirely unless you’re gonna sit there for a good long time.
That said, I have no regrets.
- Comment on Selfhosting Sunday - What's up? 1 week ago:
Scrubbing a little demo project I made featuring a web app behind oauth2-proxy leveraging keycloak as local idp with social login. It also uses a devcontainer config for development. The demo app uses the Litestar framework (fka starlite, in Python) because I was interested, but it’s hardly the focus. Still gotta put caddy in front of it all for easy SSL. Oh, and clean up all the default secrets I’ve strewn about with appropriate secret management.
All of it is via rootless podman and declarative configuration.
Think I might have to create my own Litestar RBAC plugin that leverages the oauth headers provided by the proxy.
It has been a minute since I worked daily in this space, so it has been good to dust off the cobwebs.
- Comment on Interesting SSH Authentication Mechanism 1 week ago:
Definitely looks like a nice improvement. Functions very like cloud provider CLI SSO, but with a generic tool.
I think for an enterprise use case, supporting the use of the groups claim (or other configurable scopes) is table stakes. Although in those situations, I’ve also had to use other tools like teleport that come with other enterprise niceties like full session audit capture and playback.
And while everyone should do their own threat and risk modeling, you’ve now made your ssh connection dependent on an external service that likely needs to reach out over the internet.
- Comment on Multiple Tesla vehicles were set on fire in Las Vegas and Kansas City 2 weeks ago:
As a reminder, Tesla is “direct to consumer” and the “dealership” is corporate owned!
So when the party of conspiracy theorists claims conspiracy against them, you can rest assured it’s a conspiracy by them.
But that’s what they’d say if the the tables were turned, so fuck 'em and their shit. I hope the insurance adjuster finds a way out and leaves them holding the bag.

True. It does match the French pattern of 4x20+x.

- Comment on Texas Needs Equivalent of 30 Reactors to Meet Data Center Power Demand 5 weeks ago:
Seems satisfactory to me.
- Comment on Texas Needs Equivalent of 30 Reactors to Meet Data Center Power Demand 5 weeks ago:
To a significant extent, they do, contracting for construction of generation and transmission (very often renewable), at least at the largest scale.
But, it’s (mostly) all on the grid.
With demand like that, it’s not like there isn’t significant negotiation with the local power company, especially because they’re frequently built a significant distance from existing large power infrastructure.
Heck, all the big 3 cloud providers signed deals for nuclear generation in the last few months. spectrum.ieee.org/nuclear-powered-data-center

Just finished watching the 24hrs of Daytona where they use that infield track layout this week. It’s free on YouTube from IMSA!
3 classes of cars fighting for places through traffic for 24hrs. It’s absolutely wild, and the commentators are definitely fighting fatigue with sometimes extremely random sidetracks too.

- Comment on Bluesky hits 20 million users 4 months ago:
Seems to me like you comprehend it perfectly!
I also never really saw the appeal. And I closed the account I’d barely used since 2007 (When it was primarily for announcing you were pooping and Lifehacker told me you could make lists with remember the milk) when the first buddy bought it.
I occasionally tried to use it for getting near real time news about things, but I guess I sucked at following the right people.
Now, with privacy badger, I never have to interact even when sites embed xits (if we’re going with xitter, then it’s full of xits, right?).

- Comment on Why do all languages share the same intonation for questions? 5 months ago:
I wonder if it’s more because we frame the question by altering the structure to indicate the appropriate response.
We could just as well ask “you are from where?” Or “your name is what?” That matches the expected sentence structure of a response, and the natural pitch rises.
- Comment on Someday, when society goes fully paperless, paper cuts will be a thing of the past 6 months ago:
I got my pet meds handed to me in a paper bag and somehow managed to give myself a paper cut getting the cat into the car while holding this bag. It was the first paper cut I’ve had in years, and my reaction was “I wonder if this is still recyclable.” Still better than plastic bags.
