Hey, bitch@ folks, do you think it would be possible to create some local BBS-style messageboard? Like getting solar-powered RPi in the middle of the village so anyone passing there could be connected to that? Or is that nonsense and I’m totally not getting the bitchat idea? I have one spare RPi here and this would be fun, I think…

Sooooo, the DM feature I see in clients, it’s there just to fill screen space, right? Or is it actually working?

Okay, as a consultant for multiple clients, I have to navigate multiple calendars, because I have accounts in multiple organizations. Keeping availability across three or more calendars is a real PIA, so after years of frustration, I have vibe-coded a small application that syncs the calendars with placeholders. Local only, no connection to outside world. Runs on macOS and it needs to have the calendars in native Calendar.app. If anyone wants to try it, let me know. Will be published after some polishing, but it is kind of working now.

A woman shares about the current state of the sex life of marriages

Yes, and the really bad thing is that it is constantly becoming worse. Like there is no bottom to it. In the early stages of the relationship it only takes a wink, but after years of rejection it’s very hard to turn the man on. I have seen many women rationalize that men are bad, because they don’t see them as attractive as before, but honestly, I don’t know a man who really cares that his woman got older, gained weight or whatever. That’s what we do - we grow old, men and women alike. But the constant rejection makes it feel it’s just not worth the effort - any effort. But hey - intimacy is not only about sex, right? And I suspect that this is the real problem. It’s not the sex that is going AWOL, it’s the intimacy. And when THIS is missing, the sex has really no place in a relationship. So maybe it’s not about bunnying all the time, but about actively keeping the intimacy? But that’s a lot harder than just hop or allow to be hopped…

I had an interesting conversation with a colleague about guys in security department in one of our clients. I ranted that I don’t really understand why the department is almost completely non-functional, despite having about 6 people more than needed (they are 8, currently). What baffled me the most is that I actually hold many of them in quite high respect and I know they are intelligent and hard-working people. But despite this, it is actually almost impossible to get statement on anything from the security department. Colleague thinks that the problem is that they are afraid to step out of their comfort zones and actually do some thinking - and here’s the catch - unlike for example me, who has very big comfort zone, so we can discuss almost anything with an open mind. But I think that is wrong. I actually have VERY NARROW comfort zone and my immediate reaction to almost anything is OH SHIT HERE WE GO AGAIN. But as a consultant, I am so used to being out of my comfort zone, that I don’t really care any more. And maybe that’s the issue? If someone is quite comfortable in their work, I can see why they don’t want to do anything that upsets that comfort. But when I am not comfortable, I constantly look for solutions that makes things less painful for me. So maybe I am looking at that wrong. I thought that being better at something expands my comfort zone, but what if it’s actually the other way round? The more I know about something, the more I see what I don’t know yet, and the less comfortable I am in that particular topic. Like - I know my Socrates, but up until now I haven’t really understood. It actually makes a lot of sense to me that being in the comfort zone of anything actively blocks the improvement of that thing. What do you think?

I’ve been reading and listening about “recent” discoveries about the Moon. So many fascinating things, but one is sticking in my head in particular. It turns out that Moon is quite porous, full of caverns. It is also quite of low density. Now we’ve been laughing at our ancestors, because they’ve been so silly to ever compare the Moon to the cheese… It turns out that it IS actually a very good comparison. I wonder, and I know it’s a heretic thought, what if our ancestors weren’t so silly after all? 🤔

Actually win… like in WW1, for example? View quoted note →

So true.

Každý rok řeším nějaké plošné zavlažování, a protože se mi do toho samozřejmě nechce moc investovat, kupuju takové ty levné zavlažovače, dejme tomu do tří stovek. Už jsem jich vystřídal třeba osm, tak si říkám, že za ty peníze bych mohl mít jeden pořádný. Tak jsem tady v místním supermarketu objevil Rain Bird s desetiletou zárukou, tak jsem ho vzal. A víte co? Zavlažuje to úplně fantasticky. Nenechá to snad jediné místo suché. Tak jsem zvědav, jak dlouho to vydrží. Jo a stál 99 korun 😂

Now that is a very big truth. And not only in America. Details differ, but the point stays. View quoted note →
