@Aleums one of my fav things about neural nets working with cat pictures is that so much of the source imagery it learns from has IMPACT TEXT on it. so it learns that cats look like that, that it's a part of a cat.
@pixelfed I just deployed a Pixelfed instance but don't see anything in the discover view. Are there any cool accounts I can follow to get that populated?
I'm playing with running an
instance of #pixelfed but haven't figured out how its federation works yet.
Anyone know of any interesting Pixelfed accounts to try to follow? (Or any at all? Discovery here is more difficult than I expected!)
My new house has ethernet jacks in most rooms! Hooray!
But I cannot for the life of me figure out why the cable runs all terminate in a *tiny* panel hidden in the unventilated coat closet next to the front door. A closet with no power.
I'm putting a small POE switch in there and hoping it doesn't heat up too much...
I'm famous on the Internet!

Just checked into my hotel in Stockholm. This is the view from my bed.
If I don't check in tomorrow it's because creepy empty-eyed animals have eaten my soul and there's a mysterious addition to the wallpaper menagerie staring blankly and waiting for the next victim.

Me: I've finally started watching that show you recommended!
All my friends: Oh, let me tell you my favorite twist that happens three seasons in!
Me: NO SPOILERS
All my friends: Okay no spoilers sure but I'm going to tell you the twist anyway

Steam: [downloads 300 MB of client update every time I start it]
Also Steam: I didn't want to make you wait so I scheduled the 6 MB patch that stops the game you wanted to play from crashing for 3:37 tomorrow morning

Playing a dungeon game where a neural net is DMing has a lot in common with lucid dreaming.
Text in particular is slippery and resistant to being read.

Whoever is doing the venue music for this conference *loves* Tears For Fears.
Don't get me wrong, TFF is great, but after the eighth time you hear "Everybody Wants to Rule the World" in a single day it starts to wear a bit thin.
The good news: I found someplace to get quick vegetarian food.
The bad news: it was apparently made out of ex-lax and poison.
If anyone is at #sensusummit in Portland today, come say hello! I'll be giving a talk on integrating #sensu with #grafana.
So turns out I'm going to be flying across the country to present an in-depth technical talk on a product I've never heard of... on Monday.
Guess I know what this weekend will be.

gender is a scam invented by bathroom companies in the 1960's in order to sell more bathrooms
What's that, New England? You thought it was awesome to put *literal chicken wire* in every single wall when building houses 200 years ago, thus making every room into a Faraday cage?
Well, I will just put multiple WiFi access points on the basement ceiling and go through the floor then.
Your move, insane dead house builders.
