Whatever dance remix playlist is playing at the #kubecon badge pickup just played a version of "In The Air Tonight" without the drum solo. I will be speaking with the CNCF about this.

The number of things I forgot to pack for #kubecon does not fill me with confidence for how things will go.

The downside to my Extremely Midwesterner decision to drive to KubeCon is that I can't delude myself into thinking that I'll get caught up on work in the airport.

Some days my biggest contribution at work is trying to use one of our tools that I've never used before. So many UX and documentation gaps uncovered!

Love to relearn the lesson that things work better when you're not being dumb.

Awful video out of the homeland tonight of the UPS crash at SDF.

I'm no refereeologist, but it's hard to call something an "inadvertent whistle" when it's accompanied by a signal. #purdue #ncaamensbasketball

I'm a monthly donor to my local food bank, but with Republicans leaning into their "let them starve" fetish, I made my regular contribution twice this month. Please support your local community however you can.

Took the youngest to see "K-Pop Demon Hunters" in the theater today. I get why it's so popular.

I wish every day* could be World Series Game 7 featuring two teams that I am indifferent to. *Except during March Madness, obvs.

Working on a post that would have been great pre-Hacktoberfest advice and it occurred to me that I could put together a short "Hacktoberfest How-tos for Maintainers" for next year. If you would find that valuable, what would you want to see in it?

Instead of saying "my condolences", what if we said "Mickey Dolenz"?

I was not made for waking up before the sun does.

I was going to lead some thoughts tonight, but instead I've just yawned and done housework. Oh well.

Shout out to the folks at Taiga.io who implemented my suggestion for an enthusiast-focused pricing tier within a few hours of me suggesting it. Now they get some money and I get the project count I need. Everyone wins!

Them: “We should make open source sustainable” Me: “Can I get paid for my work?” Them: “Not like that!”

Spicy take: Normal people shouldn't self host. From an energy use perspective, the users per watt are WAY higher in a data center. People are already awful at running patches and doing security updates. OMG are people awful at doing backups. From an ewaste POV, consumer electronics just […]

If you've ever wanted to buy a copy of my book but at 60% of the list price, then I have good news for you: my book is one of today's PragPicks titles. Order directly from @pragprog and you can save 40% with coupon code "PragPicks"

The #european #standards being developed to allow compliance with the Cyber Resilience Act have unusually high participation from #OpenSource community members. As a result many of the draft standards are being developed in markdown and are available for public review in ETSI's Gitlab instance […]

the biggest problem we *already have* in open source right now, which we have oversimplified into the term "supply chain security", is the lack of understanding that putting a dependency in your project's dependency set (package.json, pyproject.toml, requirements.txt, cargo.toml, etc) is not […]

It's almost that time! #thelifeofashowgirl

Happy new water year to all the hydrologists and hydrology-adjacent folks out there!

THE NATIONAL BENNER SERVICE IN LAFAYETTE INDIANA HAS ISSUED A LARGE LEON WARNING UNTIL 9 AM EDT AT 7:27 AM...THE FOG IS GETTING THICKER...AND LEON IS GETTING LAAARRRGER. IF YOU ARE IN THE FOG...MAKE A HAT... A BROOCH...OR A PTERODACTYL. IN ADDITION...THERE IS A SALE AT PENNEYS. #INwx

Ugh, I'm going to have to do a thing where I say nice stuff about myself. Gross.

Are you part of an open source project with a community of users, contributors, and/or third party developers? I want to interview people about their projects with particular attention to how codebases, documentation, project management tooling, and community spaces are constructed. On these […]

ICE agents deserved to be welcomed to Chicago with all the Malört they can drink.

Happy 2131 day to those who celebrate! 🧡🖤🧡🖤🧡🖤🧡🖤🧡🖤🧡🖤🧡🖤

I literally saw this as I was opening a file to hand-write code. 🤷 https://floss.social/@omgubuntu/115146353660554047

Suddenly reminded of how in the late aughts I spent months non-ironically calling the Conficker worm "Cornflicker".

I apparently just got my first 365-day streak on Todoist and maybe that's why I've been so tired.

Sitting on the porch watching it rain and thinking about how we needed it, as Midwestern dads do.

If I'm not careful, I'm going to end up knowing Go by accident.

for a long time I've been ignoring git GUI tools ("I can just use the command line! it's fine!) but recently I've been needing to do a lot of repeated "edit the commit message of the commit 3 commits ago", and doing that with `git rebase -i` is annoying. with lazygit I can just scroll to the […]

There ought to be a law against CRJ-900s.

I want to go home, but also I don't want to get out of bed.

"Keynote o'clock" alarm set. Now to see if I can make myself sleep before tomorrow's OpenSSF Community Day.

I just saw someone say "Other people being tech illiterate should not be my problem" and if that's how you feel, you should never connect any device to the Internet.

My legs really wish my hotel room had a tub. I clearly do not get enough exercise at home. #OSSummit

Watch out, @jerdog! @eddieknight is stealing your job! #OSSummit

Realizing that one key to my career is the ability to be enough of a dipshit to uncover non-obvious/unclear instructions, but smart enough to do something about it.

"I usually put a grape in my milk so I have a reward for finishing my milk." — My 11yo

Just got contacted by a recruiter for a venture-backed startup looking to replace 911 operators with LLMs to triage emergency calls and boy I can’t express how much A) no I do not want to join your company, and B) how much I do not want to live in the world where 911 calls are handled by LLMs

I don't normally share my dozenish daily puzzle results on social, but I have to make an exception for today's #wordle: Wordle 1,522 3/6* ⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛ ⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

Cruel tbh that the text editor, the program for untangling your spaghetti, lives in the same machine as the web browser for flopping more spaghetti into your skullbowl

Somehow when I only submit one talk to a conference, it gets rejected, but when I submit multiple, I get two accepted. 🤔

You know it's Indiana when the kids are shooting baskets while waiting for the school bus...with a hoop being held by one of the taller kids.

You'd think @swiftonsecurity.com could keep a website up...

We have Fever tickets tomorrow night, Taylor. You'd better not be making us stay up late for nothing. 🤡🤡🤡

What fool named the melatonin-producing organ the pineal instead of the prostrate gland?
