Oh hello insomnia. It's 5am, 3 hours before I'd like to be awake.

[Job Hunting Please Boost; Help me Get a Remote Data Entry Job] I am tired of being broke by the end of the month, so please help me find a job. I am looking for a Entry Level Remote Data Entry job.. I have never really done any data entry in my life, but as I live in the suburbs in New […]

Dear companies: If you scrape the e-mail address I enter on a cart check-out web page -- after I *uncheck* the "send me offers" checkbox, **before I actually finish entering the shipping info** without clicking submit and subscribe me to a mailing list, I will never do business with you. Avoid […]

I've had Crystal Method - Trip like I do stuck in my head because someone said "dark crystal" a few days ago. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0hJZR_hinI0

why are there so many folks quitting linus tech tips and then posting videos on youtube "I quit linus tech tips"

How in the FUCK do I prevent Windows 11 from _ever_ fucking hiding icons in the system tray? I am fucking tired of this shit. Process Explorer gets updated, and because it was installed via the app store it's in a random unique path every fucking update, which means whatever the preference in […]

I feel terrible for everyone whose name is Alfred, Alphonso, etc for all the insults I've thrown at AI. It's AI not Al and I am so sorry for you Al.

For any elected official who needs to hear this, I impart a lesson learned from the NFL: When the other team is tired and on the back foot, you don’t call a timeout so they can catch their breath. You grind their fucking face into the dirt until the final whistle blows and you’ve won the game.

is metacpan.org search failing with a 402 Payment Required error for anybody else or is it just some fucked up WAF because I am on cellular internet

Lace dumplings for lunch today.

holy shit Snorks weren't a fever dream of my 80s childhood, they were real! https://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2026/01/23/more-of-a-monchichi-man-myself

I really enjoy either Microsoft or my employer deciding that any software update requires an unattended reboot without my permission. I get it, security updates are important, but please fucking stop making me lose context and work. If you have to, download updates and disable network adapters […]

RE: https://infosec.exchange/@nuthatch/115958071343551358 @nuthatch so does or doesn't this work?

y'all yesterday was so much in one day I legit thought today was Monday and sat down in front of the work computer trying to do work.

too much feels today

Well shit, that's fucking cool, I managed to inject a trusted root CA into my Barnes and Noble #nook glowlight (EOL), generate my own SSL interception certificate, and then DNS RPZ redirect bncs.barnesandnoble.com to a local web server. At an admittedly very trivial first glance, the apps on […]

oh look you can be directly taken advantage of by Bethesda and Amazon https://us.castitreach.com/ag/slus/fallout/welcome.html

[Chocolate Ice Cream recipe] https://scoopulator.app/recipes/nicks-darkest-chocolate-d46d3c This chocolate ice cream recipe made 750ml of mix, so not *quite* full for two Ninja Creami (non-deluxe) 16floz containers. I did manage to weigh it before and after mixing on the stove, and I did […]

ummmmm so apparently in 2014 I bought Side Jobs - Stories from the Dresden Files from barnes and noble, for my nook and ... barnes and noble has no fucking record of that purchase, and doesn't show it in my "digital library". I am now _intensely_ fucking glad that I backed up, and DeDRM'd that […]

Can it be Friday please, I don't want to today anymore

What the fuck is this shit, walmart? Since when do you do interstitial pop-ups confirming that I'm not a robot? All I did was walk away from my PC for a few minutes!

me, the first person joining a webex meeting 5 minutes early because then I'm always on time: "this meeting is being recorded and summarized" (by AI) also me: Badger, badger, badger, badger Badger, badger, badger, badger Badger, badger, badger, badger A badger, badger, badger Badger, badger […]

I just had a coworker from 20+ years ago find me on LinkedIn and *absolutely fucking demolish* my impostor syndrome and bring me to tears.

I love it how really good TV shows tell a story in a non-linear timeline, show the "now", hint at what the "was" and then flashback to the "then" to explain the "why".

Bread! This time I buttered the pan enough that it didn't stick.

Ok. My goal today is to get my car put back together.

I put 25g of earl gray tea and 75g of everclear in a miniature mason jar, with the intent of making earl gray ice cream out of the resulting tincture. I love it that I just got to use the word "tincture".

seems notable

OH: "he has the personality of a sopping wet slice of bread"

shit is about to get real, real bad in Minnesota.

Huh. Today I learned: my oven has temperature sensors in a different place for "bake" v.s. "convection bake" and they're off by about 25 degrees. Bake mode is cooler for some reason.

I scored 14/21 on https://e-mail.wtf and all I got was this lousy text to share on social media.

https://github.com/curl/curl/pull/20312 There, now you know.

I have increasingly bad insomnia as of late, I keep waking up between 3-6am when I'd much rather wake up at like 7 or 8am. I think it's *waves hands* all of this that is going on in the world. I don't like it.

Oh. lookie here. https://www.cbsnews.com/minnesota/news/minnesota-day-of-truth-and-freedom-economic-blackout-ice-operation-metro-surge/

[USPOL, Hank Green on Renee Good] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FyStPztM7eo I couldn't have said this better.

[SET BLASTER=A220 I5 D1 H5 P330 E620 T6] If you recognize this, it's past time to get your cholesterol checked, and ask your physician about getting a shingles vaccine 🙃

Okay, so I watched this youtube video a few days ago, then figured out how to use the automation clip's LFO in FL Studio along with a little bit of automation built into Vital and make something incredibly simple with a kick drum. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q5WsiqY0-x0

OKRs? No, Okra, battered and deep fried please.

Jerome Powell: "This is about whether the Fed will be able to continue to set interest rates based on evidence and economic conditions—or whether instead monetary policy will be directed by political pressure or intimidation."

[USPOL] Just watched the 20 minute video of Jake Tapper talking to Kristi Noem about the Renee Nicole Good shooting, and Kristi Noem absolutely has no soul. No empathy. It's absolutely disgusting.

The video here is harrowing, but the woman refusing entry to ICE gets stronger and stronger throughout. She also exercises her rights with skill and knowledge, doing so precisely as she should have. Every American should watch […]

TIL: In Steam, if you leave the purchase payment page up on screen for too long, it will time out and not permit you to make a purchase, but in a very non-obvious way. It will tell you to enter the credit card CVV number, when ... that field does have a value ...

as someone with a very strong "people pleasing" personality, it's really quite freeing when you consciously realize you're doing it and can dial it back a bit. there are people in life that deserve that from you, and there are those that don't.

That moment when you decide not to e-mail someone @gmail.com because you're 100% certain that gmail will send your mail to the SPAM folder and the recipient won't actually see it. sigh.

So I own, but never beat the video game Limbo. I think I understand why I never beat it. I picked it back up as a "casual single player game" that I could play a little and come back to later, but I'm finding it incredibly frustrating. It's like a puzzle game, except each new chapter is an […]
