@jiminycricket +1 to that. My open source career started in a university, it would be awesome to return to that world and help more people see the light :)
This is what I have been waiting for! Honestly I just want to start working for a school district IT department and switch everything to open source... https://nextcloud.com/education
A couple of friends of mine have recently been experimenting with mentioning CALLIGRAPHY PENS a lot around their laptops with browsers open on Facebook.
They don't talk about this otherwise, in any form or medium. Sure enough, they're getting calligraphy related FB adverts now.
There's no way big ad-based companies aren't helping themselves to data from your mic. Your phone and laptop are listening devices. For most of us, this will never have serious ramifications, but still, act accordingly.
@HexDSL@GreyLinux@kev true, but they have some big packages and they roll-over unused allowance to next month. I think my current allowance is something like 2Tb, I am never going to get through that :)
@GreyLinux@kev@HexDSL I would highly recommend A&A (https://aaisp.net.uk) - not the cheapest but rock solid, and run by highly technical people who can *actually* fix issues when they occur.
@telent i don't really need to. My intention has been to delete Twitter for a while - but there were a handful of people whose updates I find valuable.
I've not actually posted a tweet since Jan 1st, and I plan to keep it that way :)
A while back I built a site that converts RSS feeds to ActivityPub actors that you can subscribe to from Mastodon and other ActivityPub-compliant social networks: https://bots.tinysubversions.com/convert/
I think, initially at least, I can model price by wrapping it up in the setpoint temperature - at expensive times, we choose to be a little colder.
That still leaves me to model a few things. Right now I'm thinking hard about how to predict the required temperature in a room at a given weekday & time. Obviously sometimes we care, and that has a value. Other times we don't (e.g. we're out) and it has NULL value. Time for a walk...
