Severe weather hits the US hard as key forecast offices reel from Trump cuts This year marks the first time that local NWS offices have stopped round-the-clock operations in the agency’s history

It's sad but not shocking that the Trump Administration dramatically cut funding to the National Weather Service and a massive flood wasn't correctly forecast.

Maybe if the NWS funding hadn't been cut those dozens in Texas would still be alive.

I just told #AI to do this for me:

"update my code to use the AWS SES API instead of SMTP"

Two thoughts.
1. It's amazing AI can do this for me.
2. Even if you can use AI, if you don't understand the meaning of that request, that's why we still need human experts to build and do things, for now.

Karen Bass is a massive failure. She let the city down in so many ways.

When the next election comes, she deserves to be replaced.

Yesterday I was in the car with my 7-year-old daughter and put on some Beatles songs and was telling her how awesome the Beatles are. She told me some of the songs were boring. Clearly I need to do better as a father. #parenting #thebeatles #music

Trump to sign executive order limiting Public Service Loan Forgiveness program President Donald Trump is expected to sign an executive order excluding certain student loan borrowers from the Public Service Loan Forgiveness program.

This is what people voted for. Not me, but people.

If a child dies from a preventable illness because the parents chose not to vaccinate them, the parents should be charged with manslaughter.

I hope Elon doesn't come and wreck this. Good work @cpsc.gov!

Those little costs add up. I've moved almost everything off of Dropbox, which I've been paying for at least a decade. My AWS cost was very low, but you can't beat free!

Learning about S3 compatible storage is a valuable skill.

I updated all of my WordPress backups to Cloudflare R2 today. Before I was using Dropbox and AWS.

This simplified things and should lower my cost to $0 for the volume I need. If I go over the free tier, which I don't expect, it should still cost well under $5 per month. That's significant savings.

Happy to share helpful apps with my community!

This one is really easy to use and offers more privacy than Google Authenticator with strong security included.

In my quest to de-Google my life, I've switched from #Google Authenticator to Aegis. Highly recommend for Android users.

Used to suck less.

I'm self employed online, but our power and Internet are out. I spent the morning working at a favorite coffee shop that had power and Internet still.

Windy here. Thankfully no fires nearby, but the power is out.

Cause they discovered your awesomeness today?

Alcohol is a leading cause of cancer and drinks should carry a warning label as cigarettes do, the U.S. surgeon general, Dr. Vivek Murthy, said Friday. His report cites studies linking alcoholic drinks to at least seven malignancies. But to add labels, Congress would have to act. nyti.ms/3BVTmHe
