  • I’m a program manager, have some small coding experience.

    N8n is like Legos of API access you can generate tons of integrations that would have otherwise been imposible with just a few hours of work. We have an issue where people don’t complete their slack profiles. Using n8n I made an integration between our HR software and slack so that it automatically populates most fields without having to bug people.

    And after that, it runs a check for what manual thing they are missing and sends them a message.

    You put an http block, behind a filter block, behind a slack blog and it handles everything for you.

    Would recommend you give it a try, I have it running on the work instance but I also have a local one running in my raspberry that I plan to use to fool around.





  • Ohh, first foray into Tchaikovsky? I would love to hear how you fare with more of his books. Specially the third one in that series.

    This was my year of easy books, wanted to reach 100 so I read a lot of easy to digest books.

    Old man war, from John scalzi Good page turners, fun universe feel good story. Would recommend light read. The science is fun and is integral to the story so it checks a lot of the sci-fi urges.

    The interdependency from John Scalzi was also a forgettable but fun Sunday read. The ftl system of a space society is facing issues and the have to work around it.

    Murder bot diaries was recommended a ton, I woul add myself to the list of recommenders.

    I did my reading of Philip k dick stories this year and I can’t recommend them enough. His novels are a different subject, but the short stories you see how the influence all of sci Fi. I’d you read a lot, you have to read his short stories.

    Ubik was also great!





  • I still can’t get anything to run consistently in Linux after 10 years, and many, many distros. Timber born and Raft currently never open, no matter what. I a huge Linux user but the gamin experience has always been so finicky for me and no matter how much I try it’s still unattainable. And even when they run its with a lot of configution and tinkering unless it has native support. I have no issue with that but I’m so frustrated my experience with this seems so diffent than what everyone else is having. I want to delete my windows partition and it still feels so far away.
