Africa

 Today i got some good advice from Africa about how to get agents working on my system.  I feel like I need to go from walking with AI to running and getting a team of agents to build our prediction markets.  To start I use ClaudeCoWork with Claude and ChatGPT Codex.

New Ring+, TextNOW

 This carrier probably has no affiliate code, because it is a 100% ad supported for 5G T-mobile based MVNO where if you have an iPhone you can even get a free eSIM to activate the service.  If you have andriod you can wait for eSIM to be supported or buy a $3.99 physical SIM.  So far I only use the free phone number for calls and text from the app and web, very clear calls, I can't say this scientifically but I do feel the quality is better then Google Voice.  They even have an amazing analysis of the MNO vs MVNO landscape on the site, perhaps AI generated.

Rain

I am re-posting this from a private chat as I typed it I added some links by hand and this is lots of work, in the future I think these posts might be AI assisted.  I don't know that I will continue this blog on a regular cadence like I did in the start, some things don't grew the way you would like and get left behind, like @unofficialredrockopenmic.  Things seem like they might be a great idea at the time, however you always find new great ideas. These days I want to build an AI trading platform. However this might be a plaything more then something I can trust.  AI lies and giving it some real money to trade is scary. So paper money it will be.

Re-post: I was reading about CachyOS remembering @reachableCEO's comment about X11 and thinking about how long we stuck with the 2.6 kernel. I still have some old computers that use it in the house. Starting 1981 I used MS-DOS Windows 2001 Linux 2008 Mac, iOS, Android, so many distros and AIs, and so many IMs on different messengers. I just got back form a trip to the attic to patch put bails for leaks. Heavy rain woke me at 3 am to and the bathroom had a drip sound. Sometimes water hits insulation and you hear nothing.

CachyOS is the latest Linux distro to put Wayland first in its new update

I used to blog to https://ralferix.blogspot.com/ and what a great diary that was, until it took me 2 years to collect $100 off that site. This never bothered me when I was waiting to collect from GeoCities.com/TheTropics/1174. Amazing how I can just type that. However I don't think that the internet archive preserved it.

This is the point at which your self ownership is superior.

Yet another task for my ever expanding todo list.

Infimoble $60/year+tax 5GB data

 I tried this out on Black Friday, but it keeps on being on the website, don't know of how long, here is an extra $5 discount code: KUTET7S.  https://infimobile.com/

SSpring

 It hass been a while ssince I typed anything into this blog, mostly because my keyboard is bad :(  it is the dreaded Apple butterfly keyboar that fails in all the ways your seeing here.

It wass a great day of sailing and hiking, spring haas arrived to the Bay and I am happy this time of the year before the allergies kick in.

Tello $5/month 1GB LTE

 In my series of cheap carriers I just tried out Tello on an iPhone7 and a Pixel.  The signup process was really easy and I was able to port number from Sprint without issues.  Sprint makes porting out very simple, the PIN you use for the account is the port out PIN, you also have to find the account number on a bill that you can download as a PDF.  Give this info to Tello and wait one night, they will email you if it worked.   The email has documentation links for the codes that will setup your iPhone ##25327# or Andriod Pixel *#*#72786#*#*, but do use those links as I oversimplified it, in general they want you to be on WiFi for iPhone and some other bits.  On iPhone the setup was pretty fast and painless, on Android it took a while for the setup to complete, also it kept doing setup after a reboot.  It takes so long that I cancled it a few times.

They have a $10 referral code available to sign up.  Both the current user as well as the new signup get it.

Dogs can hear

 I verified that this only dogs can hear sound is real by recording it on my cell phone.   This graph on a microphone recording shows that there is a sound.
