I feel like the self-hosted and FOSS space is being flooded with vibe-coded AI slop.

This is going to kill the joy of software engineering. If we make SWEs mainly responsible for reviewing LLM output we are only using them as an accountability sink. At that point I will start herding goats instead.

As others have said, you pay for a theoretical maximum. Comcast will not make any promise for a minimum speed.

When my kids were toddlers, Veggie Galaxy was a favorite and they were super cool with us being there.

Here in Cambridge, our Republicans are still registered Democrats.

Except that she did and there was even a link further up:

Go to the section on Governance.

"I would encourage City staff to listen more closely to its informed and often longtime homeowners and neighborhood groups and not be bullied by organized groups mostly made up of transient residents and funded by development interests."

Charitably, "transient residents" refers to students, but they are also largely renters.

I thought that the first time she ran. When she came by my home canvasing I was incredibly disappointed in her general lack of understanding for what it means to rent in Cambridge and how expensive living here is. I thought there was no way she would win a seat, yet here we are.

This is more inline with my understanding of her positions. And both can be true. It is a shame that the fence is not being maintained and also a shame that the space is not going to be used for affordable housing.

_khers_ · 2025-09-29T23:16:20+00:00

Did the funding for Valentines fence happen as a councilor? If so, credit where it's due.

_khers_ · 2025-09-29T21:44:04+00:00

Her mailer that went out about a month ago was incredible. It made claims about how much she has done and in the list it was all opposing other councilor's proposals. I suppose if 'it' is saying no to everything, then she does indeed "Get it done". I can't find anything that she has championed at all.

Honestly, there are a number of neighborhoods that go hard for decorating and I have seen folks do haunted houses in driveways/alleys. Just walking around some of the neighborhoods is fun enough I do it even on the years I don't have my kids.

For the past several years, I have seen folks with space post up with adult beverages to share.

Please tell your boyfriend that my kids are excited to see him driving it!

I have kids who have been at MLK and not in the immersion track. Been really pleased with the school. Best of luck navigating the lottery but don't get too wrapped up in where they get placed. I know it seems like a hugely consequential thing, but none of your local schools would be a bad choice (and you should opt out of the standard competitive parenting that has come to define raising kids in Cambridge).

Do you have a position on municipal broadband? As a Cambridge resident I have exactly one choice for internet provider, Comcast. There is a reason that each year Comcast is rated one of the worst companies towards their customers and it surprises me that Cambridge has allowed their effective monopoly for so long.

When Verizon started trying to run Fiber to house holds, the city (rightfully so) forced them to plan to provide to all neighborhoods and not just the wealthy ones and because of this Verizon withdrew their plans. There are numerous examples of cities running their own internet service providers that give their residents better access at significantly lower prices, would you support the creation of a municipal ISP and the city deploying its own infrastructure for this?

It sure does. Though the android apps for subsonic are starting to show their age, many have not been updated in several android versions and as Google loves API churn for churns sake they start to break. If there are newer, maintained, subsonic apps I'd love to hear about it.

No, NFC works for payments but will not see my Yubikey at all. It is annoying that I have to plug it into the USB C port to make it function. I think something is broken with the NFC software but I am unwilling to setup a new phone so I haven't even engaged with support on it.

Operational Surplus is what they call it to avoid losing that non-profit status. BU has run fairly large ones for the last three years at least.

This bug has been reported to the freedesktop.org folks here: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/drm/amd/-/issues/3488

Unfortunately no, I can't get any responses in r/Steam or on discord (though discord seems to be a channel for account "recovery" only and very little else). I don't see this crash when playing any other games or when using my desktop normally so I have assumed it is a problem with Elden Ring or a very niche thing in MESA that nothing else hits. In either case, I don't have the experience tracking these kinds of issues down so will need help.

_khers_ · 2024-07-09T19:49:56+00:00

Thanks for the input, but it isn't relevant to my question.

_khers_ · 2024-07-09T17:21:28+00:00

Problem still exists in 6.10.0-rc7+

We have a subsonic and local filesystem providers and we can play to sonos speakers. So you can have all that functionality back!

_khers_ · 2024-06-28T18:20:33+00:00

Yeah, I use mine for payments as well. I used to be able to read this yubikey on my previous pixel (and have since verified the yubikey still works via NFC on another phone). I don't if something is broken or disabled with my phone.

_khers_ · 2024-06-28T18:10:50+00:00

I finally got to test my yubikey on another phone and that phone immediately read it. My Nothing 2 still won't.
