... and the overrides were not approved. No more sports, AP classes, or extra curriculars for South Hadley unless The State steps in.

I don't have any skin in the game anymore, but I can't help but mourn the high school experience I now should call a privilege.

@customeradvocate.bsky.social any suggestions on what Secaucus<->NYP riders should pick on the Portal Cutover survey?

I have no line that I ride most often.

One of the small things I take pride in as a hobbyist sysadmin is making sure all of my public services are accessible on IPv6; AAAA records all around.

It's often a bit of extra work to configure and many providers don't document it, but I think it's important to help modernize the Internet.

9.6% Sales Tax? Secaucus Braces for World Cup “Surcharge” New legislation (NJ S4111) proposes a temporary 3% sales tax increase in Secaucus to fund 2026 FIFA World Cup infrastructure and security.

I'm trying really hard to be positive about the FIFA World Cup coming to New Jersey, but they're really not making it easy.

First reprogramming all the traffic lights on my commute in Secaucus, now a special tax to keep track of

I am apparently the person at work you talk to in order to "review/approve oauth scope strategy"

Oops, how did I end up here

Is there a tl;dr of the slight changes?

and because a picture is more helpful than 347 words:

Pinned Content, for the static side of life Concerto 3 introduces pinned content, a generic solution for keeping specific content locked to a field on a screen.

We spent so much time in Concerto figuring out how to rotate content, making it static was always an afterthought.

Not anymore.

Okay, who bought up all the cheap dedicated servers on the east coast in the last 3 months?

I don't really want to be round tripping out west (or worse, Europe).

Was looking to finally ditch my Xeon W3530 @ SoYouStart but seems to still be price competitive. I had plenty of options in December...

Back in SFO and on the traditional hunt for a drink with a closeable lid that isn't water.

This gets harder every time I visit.

Every time I think I understand I AM on AWS it surprises me in novel but completely predictable ways.

What part is predictable about it? The pain and frustration.

Turns out this is likely a health insurance thing

Has anyone figured out why Conduent has our health insurance, ssn, and other details to begin with?

I can't figure out where they fit into the service provider hierarchy.

The Chick-Fil-A in IAD is so bad I am dangerously close to building an #atproto local reviews app to ensure my review is as decentralized as possible.

In what year can we stop offering the setting to pick between light mode, dark mode, system mode?

I find this pattern of repeating a system setting into your app fascinating. If enough users expected per-app overrides, the OS would provide.

Angular: my inner Googler is deeply satisfied.

Vue: okay, I can see why the cool kids use this stuff.

Nuxt: who brought the drugs.

This is how we all use these microwave lids 90% of the time, right?

I am always jealous when I read a blogpost with excellent typography.

It guarantees I'll scroll down at least once.

Thanks! That was exactly what I was looking for 🙏🙏🙏

Hrm, I'm having trouble spotting any. Can you point me to an example?

(fwiw, as a Secaucus Junction commuter I don't have line affinity and mentally merge all these schedules together)

@customeradvocate.bsky.social perhaps this is a silly question, but when we're single tracking near the portal bridge from 2/15 - 3/15, have the planner folks considered running MetLife-style shuttle trains between NYP and SEC?

Will 2026 be the year I learn enough native mobile stuff to finally use the tailscale sdk in flutter?

Probably not.

But maybe I can finally convince an LLM to do it for me.

If you're following me because you're interested in Concerto Signage:

1. Thank you for sticking around

I am surprised how uninterested OVH is in retaining me as a customer.

As a resident of the town that is data center capital of New Jersey aka "NYC metro", I think we should get discounted colo space.

If parking lots around New Jersey Transit stations are any indicator, Saturday was the busiest day in the city post-Covid.
