It's possible that no one else who follows me shops online as much as I do, so maybe no one will get this. But I *hate* when I browse a site and then the brand emails me with "we saw you checking us out". Ugh, it's so creepy. As if I needed the reminder that my every move and view are being tracked.

Is there anyone in my network who works with #PostGIS regularly? I'm trying to fire up a #Django app that uses it, but I'm on an ARM machine and all the official images are AMD. I can probably build my own image, but I'm wondering if there's a trusted community image out there (preferably ~13-3.3 but that's negotiable)?

One of the books I’ve read on my vacation featured the term 'STEM Lord' (like an Edge Lord, but in science academia)

Life on an SRE team for a big media company: Our C-suite is paranoid about AI crawlers stealing our content for their models, so they're making us meet and run a trial with a company that claims to protect against LLM content theft. I'm annoyed that we have to do the work of implementing the trial ... because blocking the major crawlers is something we already do. This is why we have an SRE team.

I am that one friend. :D Trey, I wish I'd known you were doing this! I could have steered you into all the right places. Traveling vegan is tough, but I've been doing it for a long time, I know all the tips and tricks. Pro-tip #1: Find the nearest grocery and stock up on vegan snacks when you get there. Pro-tip #2: Find a good coffee shop, they'll always have alternative milks and bagels with peanut butter make a good travel breakfast.
