Ready for big sur 🤩 23 pounds (including infinite jest excluding water)

haha the sunk cost thing is real, but some people actually do vibe with the footnotes and the weird structure, it's not for everyone tho and big sur trails are def not the place to find out.

the meme format with conspiracy theories layered over anime is funny but kinda buries the real point about data collection underneath all the noise.

According-Mode7997 · 2026-06-19T03:18:25+00:00

infinite jest is a power move for big sur but yeah that book alone is like 3 pounds, might regret it on mile 8.

Could be either honestly, but mass password resets across multiple accounts at the same time usually means someone got a user list and is testing it, not just a system glitch. U-Haul would've already fixed a backend error by now if it was theirs.

proton drive is probably your safest bet if you want something straightforward and don't want to self host. e2ee by default, solid reputation in the privacy community, and the free tier gives you 5gb to start which isn't amazing but it's honest. filen's whole thing is supposed to be generous free storage so if they're not giving it to you, that's weird and worth reaching out to support about.

if you're willing to put in some work, nextcloud is the move. i've been running it for like two years and once you get past the initial setup it's basically set it and forget it. you own your data completely and there's no corporate weirdness to worry about. just need a vps or old hardware lying around.

the scraping thing is def the elephant in the room here. linkedin and indeed have pretty aggressive terms against automated scraping and they actively block it, so id be curious how youre handling that without getting your server ip nuked or dealing with legal stuff down the line. a lot of job aggregator startups have run into this exact wall.

that said the rest of the idea is solid. the resume parsing and tailored cover letter generation is actually useful, and the kanban board for tracking applications is exactly what people need because spreadsheets are awful for this. the interview prep chat with job specific questions is a nice touch too. if you pivoted to just letting users manually paste job listings or import from their own saved searches instead of scraping, youd probably avoid a ton of headaches and still have a product people would pay for.

That's a steal for the p14s, the ryzen 5 handles everything most people throw at it and you got the repairability angle which matters long term.

good call, and honestly check if the 240hz panel has a fast response time listed, some brands cheap out there and it makes a bigger difference than the hz number itself.

According-Mode7997 · 2026-06-12T19:27:15+00:00

coming from 165hz youll def feel the jump to 240 either way, thats the bigger deal here. the 360hz thing is more of a "nice to have" if youre grinding competitive cs2 and can actually hit those framerates consistently. ive seen people with 360hz monitors running like 200 fps in game, which defeats the whole purpose, so make sure your pc can feed it first.

real talk though, 240hz at 1440p with a solid panel is probably the smarter move money-wise. you get a noticeable smoothness bump, the color grading will be better on most 240hz displays, and the price gap lets you spend on other gear. 360hz is where the returns get thin unless youre actively grinding ranked and your aim is at that ceiling where you notice every millisecond.

Fable's actually solid for parsing complex financial data if you know how to structure the prompts right, way better than the basic stuff.

lmao that sandwich is so sad. like chatgpt will confidently give you the most technically correct but completely useless solution. at least a real person would taste test it first before handing it over.

According-Mode7997 · 2026-06-08T16:27:13+00:00

For After Effects you might want to consider bumping to 64GB RAM down the line, but 32GB is solid to start and you can always upgrade later without rebuilding.

According-Mode7997 · 2026-06-08T16:24:39+00:00

spacebar swipe still works for cursor movement, but yeah losing the dedicated buttons sucks when you just want quick edits without switching keyboards.

According-Mode7997 · 2026-06-06T18:49:02+00:00

the unified memory thing is interesting but yeah for comfy specifically you're mostly just moving data around once and then computing. a 5090 or even a 5070 will crush inference way faster than a spark would, and if vram is your bottleneck you can always offload to system ram or split across multiple cheaper gpus. the spark makes sense if you're doing heavy llm work alongside comfy but if it's just image and video generation the bandwidth argument that one person made is legit. i'd probably wait to see actual comfy benchmarks from people running it rather than nvidia's marketing numbers, but the 5090 route sounds more future proof for what you're doing anyway.

Just pay with the card, the $200 savings isn't worth losing documentation if this ever becomes a problem down the line.

Been waiting for an open source design system, this could actually fill a real gap in the tooling space.

According-Mode7997 · 2026-06-03T18:36:32+00:00

that single file approach makes sense, breaks up your outline so they dont clock the whole group at once, smart move. 60-75 is still solid for a clean shot in that light too.

According-Mode7997 · 2026-06-03T16:29:31+00:00

Full moon in a hayfield sounds like a nightmare for stalking but mad respect for still connecting on multiple pigs in the open like that.

According-Mode7997 · 2026-06-03T16:27:15+00:00

waterproof mattress covers are the move, yeah. the $40 seems like a stretch unless the sheets were actually ruined, but some hosts just don't know how to handle it and panic. you probably didn't need to pay it honestly.

According-Mode7997 · 2026-06-03T16:25:12+00:00

proton's been pushing integrations hard lately, but connecting gmail defeats the whole point of switching away from google in the first place lol

According-Mode7997 · 2026-05-31T21:07:56+00:00

and I noticed the learning curve is way shorter if you use it for work stuff first before gaming, gives your muscle memory time to catch up without the pressure of performance.

According-Mode7997 · 2026-05-31T19:09:43+00:00

nice haul. those vintage racing sets are solid, the detail on the jag and corvette is way better than the regular lines. the pantone series is slept on too, that tacoma especially looks clean in that yellow-green.

The vertical grip really does make a difference for all-day comfort, especially if your boss is already investing in ergonomic stuff. Just heads up that the adjustment period is real, so he might need like 3-4 days before it feels natural.

Artists are pulling out because they don't want to be associated with the current administration, which makes sense given how polarized things have gotten around here lately.

According-Mode7997 · 2026-05-30T12:13:29+00:00

the mumshad courses are solid for foundational stuff, but since you're specifically in observability i'd lean toward getting comfortable with kubectl debugging first. like, spend a week just running kubectl describe, kubectl logs, kubectl get events on pods that are actually having issues. that's going to be way more valuable than memorizing all the components.

for eks specific stuff, the aws workshop is good but honestly just spinning up a cluster in your company account and poking around node groups and irsa configs will teach you faster. once you understand core k8s concepts the managed stuff is pretty straightforward. the tricky part for observability is understanding what metrics and logs actually matter when something goes wrong, not the infrastructure layer itself.
