Could the micro.blog discover section take a very different approach? The curation was nice but I doubt sustainable.
How about a sampling technique using a percentage of all posts that are not replies and including them? I feel like that would work pretty well. Not algorithmic, just a sample rate.
Tyler’s done with school for the week. Mazie’s home from college. I’m making Wassail Tea and it smells great. Logs burning in the fireplace. Feels like Thanksgiving. 🥰
OmniFocus 4.4.3 just shipped with a bug I found in the change log!
Sync – Fixed issue of the same Mac showing multiple registrations in Settings > Sync > Registered Devices, when running macOS 15 Sequoia. After this update, OmniFocus 4.4.3 may show up as one additional registration; delete all other registrations of the same Mac (that don’t include “this device”) to improve sync times.
I’d been pruning these ghost devices every few days. Happy to not need to look at sync devices now. 🙂
Candle experimentation trying out nine new scents. Made two candles each at a relatively high 9% scent ratio using the 2oz samplers. Will see what we like!
The Matrix
I have wanted to watch The Matrix with Tyler for a while. I remember seeing it in the theater and being blown away by the film. I was also taken aback that it was released 25 years ago. Yikes.
I was tentative about the R-rating. I visited the Common Sense Media reviews for The Matrix and the average parent review suggested it was fine for 12 and up. A 25 year old R-rating isn’t what it used to be it seems. With further inspection I decided it was fine so we rented a fresh 4K version from iTunes, versus the DVD rip I have on Plex, and fired it up.
I had forgotten that it was AI that they were fighting against. It was interesting to see that storyline in the context of AI that we have today. The cell phones were comical in design dating before the glass slab era. Bullet time was amazing back then but not very notable given todays effects. The story was still very interesting and well done. We both liked it.
Judging Novice Policy Debate today at University of Minnesota UMBrooks tournament. Tyler here competing too. 🏆
Alby is deprecating their shared Bitcoin Lightning wallet service. I don’t want to host my own node or use their cloud hub so I transferred the satoshis I had there via lightning to my Strike wallet. Still amazes me how fast and simple Lightning is. ⚡️
Wonder what Musk’s net worth will be four years from now?
Elon Musk’s net worth hit a record high of $347.8bn, according to Bloomberg. Mr Musk, already the world’s richest person, has had a profitable few weeks since the election of his buddy Donald Trump. Shares in Tesla, Mr Musk’s electric-vehicle company, rose by 3.8% on Friday. Investors clearly think there are advantages to being in the president-elect’s inner circle. — The Economist, November 23rd 2024
My guess — double. 😳
Added the Bullfrog X8 hot tub to pair with the NorthUp Sauna. Happened to get it installed on the 10th anniversary of signing the purchase agreement for Magic Pines. Looking forward to some delightful time this winter! 🌨️ Now to get everything ready to use!
