Can’t believe I only learned about `.git/info/exclude` just now.. No more mistakenly committing random personal files to repos and not needing to `.gitignore` to accomplish this!

Is it “bad” that I don’t even mention nostr to my normie friends? Most of them aren’t even twitter users, so I feel like they are too far removed from being able to appreciate nostr.

So I have to file my first BAS/activity statement today and, naturally, I decided to vibe a web app to help me do this. It’s a completely private & self-hosted solution that uses OCR and an LLM to process invoices/receipts, bank statements etc, and can then generate the BAS/activity statement for you. I decided to build this because I’ll have to file these every quarter, and instead of: a) handing all my documents over to someone else to prepare for me, and paying for the service b) doing this manually I can now build and tweak my own system and have full control over how it works, privacy of my information, and am well along the path to having this (new) aspect of my life automated away. In doing this I’ve opted not to use my accountant, who handles my personal income tax and would have been the obvious choice otherwise, and I’ll probably drop them entirely and either extend this software or build a new product to help with preparing my income tax. So the AI has taken their job 😱

Start your journey to better health… …Nose breathing at night

For all the doomerism and gloom, feels to me like we’re entering a technology golden age If you’ve got enough curiosity and drive “you can just do it” (pretty much)

Who am I anymore? …looking forward to see K-Pop Demon Hunters on the big screen this weekend 👹
