Great day! 🐞 I squashed some bugs in my programs and got Gitea set up, so now I have my own Git system. 🚀 Hopefully, when AI messes me up, it’ll be easier to get back on track. 🤖 #SelfHosting #Gitea

A stone tomb with a large round stone rolled to the side stands open, surrounded by green foliage and orange and white flowers. A dirt path leads from the tomb toward a hill where a wooden cross is silhouetted against a sunrise or sunset sky with scattered clouds.
The best stories have a ✝️ pause, a moment of silence before the triumph. That’s what Holy Saturday teaches us. 🌑🕯️ #HolySaturday #EasterWeekend
Nothing more fun than sitting at the dealership on your first day of vacation getting maintenance and recalls handled.
A clear blue sky dominates the image with no clouds visible. At the bottom of the image, the tops of two tall trees with green and brown leaves are seen. The trees have thin branches with sparse foliage, indicating a possible seasonal change or type of tree. Rising diagonally from the lower left corner towards the upper center of the image is a white smoke trail, likely from a rocket or missile launch, which is faint but distinct against the blue sky. The smoke trail starts thick near the trees and gradually becomes thinner as it ascends. The overall scene suggests a rocket launch viewed from a distance with natural greenery in the foreground.
A clear blue sky dominates the image with a faint white contrail diagonally crossing from the lower left to the upper center, indicating the recent passage of a fast-moving object. Near the top of the contrail, a small bright object, possibly a rocket or missile, is visible ascending. The bottom portion of the image shows the tops of two tall trees with green and brown leaves, suggesting a mix of healthy and drying foliage. The trees have thin branches with sparse leaves, allowing some sky to be seen through them. The overall setting appears to be outdoors on a clear day with no clouds, focusing on the sky and the ascending object.
History Made April 1, 2026 Artemis II Launched!
History was made today. The kind of history that will be written about and studied for years to come, and I was able to capture it from my backyard. Artemis II successfully launched

My yearly Claude subscription just renewed for another year 🔄. I've canceled my monthly ChatGPT subscription and am only using the OpenAI API until I get my local LLM set up 💻. I usually spend less than $10 every 2 to 3 months 💸. I’d switch entirely to Claude if they offered image generation 🎨.
I get nervous when a coding AI says it needs to read and analyze the code instead of just guessing 🤔. Now, I have a rule, no guessing allowed 🚫. Why would an AI or computer ever think it should guess if it has access to the actual code? 💻🧐 #AI #Programming
A purple flag with darker purple trim is pictured on a teal background. The flag has a central image showing a gold silhouette of three pirates posing together in a friendly manner. Around this central emblem appears two marks that signifies Community Emissary Grade Two has been reached.

I started using Flare on my phone via https://flareapp.moe/ & it looks better than Openvibe. You can add multiple accounts & it supports Sharkey & Misskey natively. No Nostr though, which Openvibe has. Wish there was one app with it all. Twitter’s dead to me now.

Smoke rises from the roof and the side of a single-story white house on a gray, cloudy day. Trees with green and bare branches surround the yard, which contains a white boat on a trailer with a brown cover. A tall metal antenna is mounted on the roof of the house. The word "Nest" appears in the upper right corner of the image.
2nd round of rain today 🌧️. Hopefully this will help with the drought & dry season. This storm has way more lightning ⚡ and thunder compared to the earlier rain around 3 p.m., which was more like a light summer shower. The weather really fits my mood right now 🌩️. #RainyDay #StormyWeather

I think roundabouts are functionally stupid but aesthetically pleasing, and function should still win out over visuals.
Good homelab day! Backups, new self-hosted apps including Duplicati, Immich, Syncthing and Paperless-NGX management. Progress! #homelab #selfhosted

Generate a digital painting to honor Florida Statehood Day. The artwork should be bursting with vibrant colors and reflect the richness of Florida's culture, history, and natural beauty. The scene can include landmarks such as the Everglades, oranges, iconic flamingos, or beautiful beaches. Please ensure the image is in a square format, making it suitable for social media use. The artwork should not contain any text or words.
Today’s the perfect reminder that home is where the heart is — and my heart’s in Florida. #FloridaStatehoodDay

Square format digital painting that uses vibrant colors to honor Read Across America Day. The painting should depict a diversity of children from different descents including Caucasian, Hispanic, Black, Middle-Eastern, and South Asian all engrossed in their books. Perhaps some are sitting under a tree while others are on a park bench. Some are lost in a world of fantasy with dragons and fairies, others are exploring the cosmos or diving into historical events. Remember, this artwork is to promote the joy of reading, so make it tempting for the viewers to dive into a book themselves. No text or words are needed in this image.
Let’s celebrate the joy of reading by passing a story along today. It’s how the love grows!

😊Had a super productive weekend working on the Plex server and my personal apps with Claude and OpenAI 💻. #selfhosting
Price hike alert! My Hetzner server jumped from $17.99 to $24.99 due to rising RAM and SSD costs 💸. A 39% increase on a running server stings 😬. Supply shortages hit hard. Expect blog and website hosting prices to rise next 👀. #selfhosting
I’ve deleted my Discord server, account, and apps. Now hunting for a simple voice chat replacement 🎧. Considering Teamspeak for gaming 🎮 or maybe a self-hosted option. Didn’t use all Discord’s features and didn’t like its direction. Definitely time for a change!

Long day! Up at 4 AM ⏰, work by 6 💼, then a dermatologist visit for my yearly skin check 🩺. All good except a minor issue that needs a prescription 💊. Super productive but totally wiped out 😴. Early bedtime for me tonight! 🌙✨

A birthday cake topped with five lit candles and colorful round candies is centered on a table. A sparkler is lit to the right of the cake. Surrounding the cake are three small animal figurines: a white bunny holding a pink heart on the left, an orange kitten sitting in front, and a gray squirrel holding an acorn on the right. Bunting flags in various colors hang above the cake. The text Happy Birthday Momma is written across the cake in blue and white script.
