A screenshot of a diff, showing only removed lines. The removed lines are a comment, that reads as follows:

NOTE: Cursors aren't supported here, because to CloudFetcher, resultLimit is a _total_ result limit. To CKDatabase, it's a _page_ result limit. So, a cursor is only used when you've specified a {page size} less than {total data size}. In searching through the code, the only time resultLimit is used is to get a single result, so, don't bother with cursors. If you're reading this angry, future Casey, I'm so sorry.

As it turns out, not only is my boss an asshole, but my coworkers are, too.

@hotdogsladies.bsky.social Forgive me if I'm repeating myself, but a dear friend here in Richmond is OBSESSED with KGLW, and has been stunningly chill about spreading this obsession.

This is also on my list of "things I need to give an honest chance but haven't yet". :)

@hotdogsladies.bsky.social To be clear, I meant that as a good/happy thing. ๐Ÿ™ƒ

_Stop Making Sense_ is SUCH a formative album/movie for me, despite not *really* knowing a whole ton of the rest of their catalog.

I keep meaning to watch _Live in Rome_, and I keep kicking the can. I need to do it.

Some *excellent* YouTube comments on this one, as well:

> Technology Conenctions talks about solar and then goes nuclear

> Came for the capacity; stayed for the resistance

You are being misled about renewable energy technology.
Let's learn and grow. New things are cool! Links 'n' stuff down below. Lots of links. First, the "clean version." Please pass that around. https://youtu.be/Zgxb8I1nk2I Jerry Rig Everything's video on battery recycling https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s2xrarUWVRQ If you'd like a legal argument from an actual lawyer which highlights the uniquely strange and unchecked powers we have given DHS and ICE, this is worth a watch. I am not being hyperbolic in saying that this is a serious problem we need to face head on through abolishment, not reform. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zkgNnbTrsgw Here are a couple of corn ethanol vs. solar land use studies. There are more if you'd like to look for them. https://news.cornell.edu/stories/2025/04/trading-some-corn-ethanol-land-solar-offers-tremendous-opportunity https://www.cleanwisconsin.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Corn-Ethanol-Vs.-Solar-Analysis-V3-9-compressed.pdf I'm not gonna post links to my socials or my Patreon here. Take care of each other. 00:00 Intro 07:35 Some opening notes 10:14 Cars and all the oil they use 15:38 Photovoltaics and electric cars 18:59 A cost and opportunity comparison 22:33 Solar farms 30:35 A discussion of land use 38:29 A diversion on wind power 41:17 The materials in solar panels 50:52 What about the batteries? 1:02:41 The reasons I made this video 1:10:16 The reason I am who I am 1:16:35 Who the liars are and what we need to do about them.

My goodness, every word of this whole video, but most especially the "after show". Bravo, @techconnectify.bsky.social.

Falling in Love with Virginia In 2004, I went on a long car ride. By the end, I fell in love with Virginia.

I should do this again sometime. Who is coming with me?

Some of the motivating factor for me *is* HA. I want to start fucking with thread, which means I need better ipv6 support than "lol nope", which is what docker on the Synology offers.

Wish me luck.

So far that's basically what I've done. Thankfully for my main concerns, a backup/restore was all it took.

However, I deeply fear the transition from HA container โ†’ HAOS

I run containers on my Synology, however, I *just* "repatriated" a NUC that I had installed somewhere remote in order to start fucking with Proxmox.

@selig.bsky.social While I haven't seen this specific error myself, I will say that my experience with Docker on macOS was rather shit.

(Others will tell you that it's actually great. Or it's great once you use Orbstack. Or it's great once you install a Linux VM to run Docker. ๐Ÿคท๐Ÿปโ€โ™‚๏ธ)

I am telling you my very honest belief that I no longer understand what Democrats stand for.

I feel quite strongly they put corporate interests over their constituents. And this sort of behavior tells me they think what matters is the magic words that get them elected.

I'm tired of it.

This country is run by petulant children who have never spent a single second being introspective.

These are people with fragile identities who can't fathom the thought of teaching our actual history.

I'm sick of it.

Here it was I thought I couldn't like @jamellebouie.net any more, and then he drops a "Hunt for Red October" quote at the end of this piece. ๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ’™

@davidpierce.xyz Yeah, for several years now.

And as someone who writes an app that relies on TMDB, I don't feel stupendous about it at the moment.

It's also the inspiration behind probably my favorite Callsheet feature: Hide Spoilers.

Many of the characters in the series live double lives; most are revealed quickly. One is a "turns out" moment. That moment was spoiled for me by IMDB. Hence, "Hide Spoilers".

Never again.

@reckless.bsky.social @davidpierce.xyz fun fact you didn't mention during your TiVo episode: TiVo owns The Movie Database, which is the backing service behind Callsheet. And many other apps.
