Thought for the day -- North and South America combined only account for 13% of the world’s population.

Out learning some #virtualization stuff and had this thought:

"Azure Virtual Desktops vs. Windows 10 Virtual Machines"

Sounds like one of those postapocalyptic, martial arts movies I saw as a kid. True story.

Well, I guess I'm looking for work again! Force reductions just before Christmas. 5 years of service, big features built and released, internal awards won, and it all ends with a Zoom call. Awesome.

Anyone hiring ex-principal software engineers/architects/devmgrs who're excited about distributed identity?

If you could boost I'd appreciate it! I think making a connection on the Fediverse would be sweet.

The new #mesh solution will auto-adjust the channels used so WLAN Analysis will be minimal. It should come out looking “as clean as possible”, given the amount of interference I’ve got from neighbors (like everyone these days).

Well, I’ve decided my naming convention for the new mesh #wifi network. I was a #Wi-FiEngineer for a long time. This time I’m making SSIDs based on function in the network. I will have three SSIDs with “<network name>-<function>”as the name. So, that means max-legacy (for 2.4GHz only devices), max-media (for streaming devices), and max-fast (for everything else).

Bitcoin is used everyday by savers.

If you woke up with BTC in cold storage, and you decided NOT to sell it or trade it for a product or service, then you are using BTC as savings.

I recommend this guide to Mastodon, written by @noelle

Informative and answers questions which newcomers like me wouldn't figure on their own.

FediTips has moved!Nov 27, 2022

In case you missed it, Mastodon now lets you edit posts 🥳

You can edit any post you've made, and it will send a notification to people who have already interacted with it to prevent any hijinks or shenanigans. It also lets people see the previous versions.

You can access it through your server's website and some third party apps, for example iPhone/iPad app Toot! and Android app Fedilab.

(The official app doesn't yet support it, so it's another good reason to check out third party apps.)

In #metatext on iOS, I can set a Preference to pick up where I left off in my Hime timeline. Is there any way to do that for Local and Federated timelines? Would be nice.

Many, many years ago I read and began employing the simple organization and productivity skills recommended by David Allen in Getting Things Done.

Employ what makes sense to you. Use tools available in software, like folders in Outlook or note-taking tools like OneNote. The foundation of #gettingthingsdone covers all you need to better organize your work and life.

Here’s a good article to get started:

Over the years I’ve tried different methods or adapted existing ones to make the most of my working time, but each new technique reminds me of the GTD method.
