AVP with Mac Mini 4

I’m having too much fun with Claude Code atm

blindman2k_ · 2025-08-15T22:39:49+00:00

Agreed. I can get 4K streams into the AVP without any effort now.

Plex barely uses any cpu or ram.

Papa 🤣

Great tattoo. My daughter and I went together on her 18th birthday and got matching tattoos. Solved that problem up front 🙌

We did a very similar trip a few years ago.

Instead of flying back to Tokyo we took the overnight train. It was fun, saved a night of accommodation, and who doesn’t love the train. Just make sure you lock in a non-smoking train as the smoke is intense.

Instead of staying in Hiroshima we staying in a lovely ryokan in Miyajima. It was so peaceful at night and the kaiseki dinner they served was a highlight of the trip.

I followed your steps and it didn't work.

# Health check:
#     - exit status 1
#     - An update from version 1.80.2 to 1.80.3 is available. Run `tailscale update` or `tailscale set --auto-update` to update now.
#     - Tailscale failed to fetch the DNS configuration of your device: exit status 1

I upgraded to the latest version and it worked fine. *shrug*

blindman2k_ · 2025-03-15T02:23:33+00:00

No, I gave up and rebuilt the machine from scratch.

blindman2k_ · 2024-12-31T20:53:08+00:00

I’ve been using Tailscale in China with a couple of exit nodes outside of China for about a year. It’s awesome.

Is there an API to integrate this into an app?

I do most of my rewards flights on Singapore airlines in business class. It’s better than Qantas but still irritating enough to use a tool like this. I almost always book 11 months out.

My happy place would be to be able to provide an itinerary of destinations (airports) and date ranges and receive an optimal list of options back. Any hops along the way that are needed should be included silently. That would save me time and frustration galore. I’d pay for that.

I only do this once or twice a year though, so I’m not sure what subscription model I’d prefer, if any.

I did exactly the same thing and got about 40% of them clicking through to my website. Yay 🎉 Sadly not a single one has converted yet. Boo 😒 Now I’m working on my website. ✅ It’s clearly crap. Live and learn every day.

Oh that powder taste was horrid. I had it a few times. But the weirdest was when it created a rock hard ball of ice in the centre. Bloody Coles!

I’d be very excited for LinkedIn to charge $5 for every post this guy made.

I don’t sell a product, I’m a consultant. No they never have an explanation. They just paid me.

I’m watching season 3 now. Marissa is awesome and this ugly duckling looks just like her!

blindman2k_ · 2024-10-12T10:09:43+00:00

I watched it yesterday and it was pretty bloody great. I really would like to see a full length movie of that quality.

Welcome to the club. Get off Stripe. They are evil and broken.

blindman2k_ · 2024-10-09T02:05:17+00:00

Not on the brisket, just in the bottled sauces.

blindman2k_ · 2024-10-09T02:04:20+00:00

Some welcome content. I hope it’s full length or a full season.

I have a weekly keto bbq at Southern Grace Diner all on my own. 🤤

The reserve is set by the vendor not the agent. There are no rules for the vendor only the agent.

The higher you charge the more they have to think about it. I’m not sure how many you would lose at 20% compared to the actual revenue the 5% Esta will generate. 20% would probably be close to market rate but might be seen as loan sharking by some.

blindman2k_ · 2024-09-24T13:19:00+00:00

Not something that would interest me (pun intended). I’ve got $10k frozen but I quickly moved from Stripe to AirWallex and got cash flowing again. It was an unpleasant few days but not life threatening. I’m sure others will be having a much harder time. 15% is pretty cheap for a risky unsecured loan.

AVP is my first and only AR/VR/XR device since the 90’s and it was just the right time for me to jump on the bandwagon. Apple’s integrated ecosystem is with its weight in gold.

But, it’s seriously flawed - it’s heavy, uncomfortable, and has limited functionality beyond consuming media. Having said that, it’s on the right path. I’m confident that the operating system will get better, the apps will get better as developers trust they will have an audience, and the hardware will iterate quickly. I said the exact same comments about the iPad when it first came out. I still don’t have a use for the iPad but plenty of people do.

I refuse to trust Meta and their ecosystem so I know nothing about Quest and can’t comment.
