I just charge mine as part of my nighttime routine, sometimes it's only five minutes, sometimes it's 20. In the morning I just throw it on the charger while I'm showering/brushing my teeth. It's almost never full, but it never dies.

I thought about the Fitbit air, but being able to see your heart rate is kind of nice.

diflartle··on April 2026 TLDR Setup for Ollama and Gemma 4 26B on a Mac mini
Ollama is good enough to dabble with, and getting a model is as easy as ollama pull <model name> vs figuring it out by yourself on hugging face and trying to make sense on all the goofy letters and numbers between the forty different names of models, and not needing a hugging face account to download.

So you start there and eventually you want to get off the happy path, then you need to learn more about the server and it's all so much more complicated than just using ollama. You just want to try models, not learn the intricacies of hosting LLMs.

diflartle··on What if I don't want videos of my hobby time available to the world?
As an avid beach volleyball player, every tournament and most league games have one or more people recording them with cell phones or go pros on tripods at the end line. Just part of the game.

Nobody bats an eye, I assume because we're already out in public, basically in bathing suits.

"The tie goes to the runner" died with instant replay, and I think that is sad. If you need multiple super slow-motion angles to determine if they were out or safe, it should be a tie, in my opinion.

I also just say watch every angle at full speed for those types of replay, no slow-mo. Keeps the magic, but let's you correct egregious calls.

> There was a fun rant a while back about "your startup is just a pivot table." Hilarious read.

I'd love to read this, but can't seem to find it. Any idea where I could find it at?

The way to write that on the command line Powershell would be:

    ps ffmpeg
Whereas your longer example is what you put in the PS1 file.
