Night Seagoon!

Made a thread for tomorrow.

The friend who I'm picking up the food for is going to give me some food and I might ask her about GitHub to attempt to make a bot.

I've been coding excessively since I was a child. I am 40. I'm happy to help and have offered to build this many many times in any lang and on any platform. So if you'll find it fun but need help DM me as it seems like no one wants me to do it :(

I've been looking into an RSS bot for here and it seems doable. There are options for creating posts, pinning them, and unpinning posts.

My biggest problem is getting docker to work

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

If you need a local docker test env you can spin them up on rpis. I have a local k8s cluster for this although my private cloud can do the same... Shout if you need help. I'm bored and have time.

Also just a CRON job AWS lambda or Azure Function will do the basic task of Auth and POST.

After many phone calls tonight I can now finally have dinner.

Watching some shows then I’ll hit the sack.

Ah man… I probably shouldn’t push myself physically. I risk injury and the pain and fatigue lasts for days.

I just get bored you know? I wish I could just get motivated to do art or keep learning languages. But nope. All the energy goes to surviving and then I just turn to the net and social media for mental stimulation.

I remember when I didn’t even have social media and was just… completely self sufficient. That’s when I was a lot more able to be physically active though

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 days ago

I used to read many more books.

And truthfully, if it weren't for the dt and you beautiful people here I wouldn't be on social media at all.

TIL The Cure has been around for nearly 50 years 🀯

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Yes, but not all of it fantastic

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago

I haven't really paid attention. I have a few albums, mostly old ones.

Friend I met up with today said she doesn't drive because her ex crashed into a tree after she broke up with him and thought it was her fault. But she has spoken to me about driving on the ring road with her dad and driving to her sport practice. It's just that she needs a ride whenever I go out with her. Another friend wants me to pick up her too good to go box which is a 10 minute drive away. I feel iffy about saying yes because she constantly asks me to check if things are in stock for her at my work and asked me to help jump-start her car because she had no one else. I don't mind doing a nice thing for a friend, but I just feel like these people are using me.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 days ago

Yeah, I learned never do for another person what they can do for themselves :(

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 days ago (1 children)

hmmm, that all sounds a bit like emotionally manipulative bullshit on their part.

Politely decline and see what happens.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (2 children)

She's manipulative just like her ex was. I will not be driving her anymore. The other friend is also a user.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I must be getting old but I just can't stand that bs anymore.

And you aren't even giving genuinely needed help, you're a convenience and that's different.

They can walk or get a bus or get uber. Asking for a lift , I can't even imagine it. Unless it's hospital and even then I would expect them to make an effort.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Exactly, I never ask anyone for a lift because I always feel so bad. But these people have absolutely no problem doing so. As a child, my mum was very paranoid about safety and was a SAHM so I had the privilege of being driven around, and expected that I was meant to do the same thing for others.

I know people aren't raised the same way, and not everyone has the same level of agreeableness. It still just baffles me.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Good for you! I've let people use me in the past and it wasted a lot of my time and energy for nothing.

Less than nothing actually. Because they actively made my life worse.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Gosh that's horrible. I guess if anything, it goes to show that you have a kind heart.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 days ago

That's nice of you to say :) I've definitely learned to be more selective about who I let into my life.

No lesson is easy I guess.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Nothing wrong with a kind heart just be careful. 😘

Trying to play financial seer since our fixed mortgage term is up in December and we're trying to work out if we should lock in a two or five year rate in case it all goes to shit.
