Fresh home made bread is so delicious. Even with just butter its irresistible to me.

I wish I had time to bake lately.

Yes, I self host the English Wikipedia dump, as well as a few cooking sites and topic specific stack exchange dumps available in zim format.

My goal is:

  • reduce dependence on public internet. In the event of an outage or restriction I’d like some books and other content I can use to entertain myself
  • locally preserve a snapshot of information before it is possibly diluted by LLM edits

I also run this way. NFS4 mount for the media Dir. Cache Dir on the local SSD. No problems streaming 2-3 devices. NAS is happy to serve other files at the same time.

Docker host is nothing special, old Mac mini running Ubuntu.

I had a flame sensor go out last year. The tech could get it going by just cleaning the sensor, but did come back and replace it when the part came in.

Sadly, I gave up my own troubleshooting when I saw the computer control was flashing an error. Would have saved me a couple hundred bucks.

In a corporate world of vague problems, shifting goals, limited time…sometimes it’s nice to be unencumbered by all that and just fly into shiny things repeatedly:)

That’s why I pick these impossible/pointless personal projects. I just want to have fun writing code.

I have consistently been trying to use AI for the actual tasks I need to complete for work over the last year or so (we are gently encouraged to try it, but thankfully not forced). I have found it to be “successful” at maybe 1 in 10 tasks I give it. Even when successful, the code quality is so low I edit heavily before it’s pushed and attributed to me.

I think the problem I have is I rarely work on boilerplate stuff.

LibreOffice UI hasn’t changed in years and I love it, my muscle memory is retained.

Also while ribbon style UI might be visually pleasing and initially approachable, I find simple toolbars with icons in a line are actually easier to scan and navigate. Whereas a ribbon typically has dividers and buttons of varying sizes making them easy to miss.
