The Cloudflare outage it taking a long time to resolve.. I posit that this is because it caused OpenAI to go down as well and how do you fix problems if you can't ask ChatGPT?? #outage #cloudflare #ai

Yeah. She’s definitely coming out of her shell. These mini pumpkins are lasting longer than any other toy we’ve given her. She destroys even the Kong toys, but these pumpkins last a while, even being bounced all over the deck. #dogsofmastodon

This is unacceptable. They 100% profiled this person. I guarantee they weren't white. This shit is unacceptable in a truly free society. This is what we're fighting against. https://www.threads.com/@keithboykin/post/DQwavVCjskh

Hi @snipe !! Did you just get here? I could have sworn I was following you before…

I have mixed feelings on this one. On the one hand, I'm happy democrats retain their majority. On the other hand, I do actually believe that term limits are important. https://flipboard.com/@spotlightpa/spotlight-pa-0q01viucz/-/a-RGLXociaSsudxn51evShZA%3Aa%3A3421926908-%2F0

So the FBI arrested five people for … thought crime? If I’m reading this right, there was a chat online. They admit it wasn’t a well formed plot, and they don’t say anything about weapons or anything dangerous being found, which they almost always do, so…. What’s the crime here? Existing while […]

I'm starting to doubt this thing is real. I tried searching for more information and so far I've seen 3 or 4 other images with almost the same wording. I’m betting this is another AI slop creation. https://syzito.xyz/@fkamiah17/115470235881233367

I wonder what file system these are compatible with…. Or do they work with any? I have an XFS mount point that’s running out and I’ll happily buy local if I can. https://weird.autos/@dan/115464356559559826

"You really want your tax dollars going to feed poor people?!" Yes. Take more. Take more of my money and give it to poor people. I'd rather help them eat than pay for another goddamn aircraft carrier or some shit.

And so we're at that point again where we play the "should I buy heating oil now or will the price drop over the next month" game.. #heating #utilities #forecasting

This is absolutely disgusting. While I have worked at places where I've had to stay late (even overnight once or twice) to work on outages, the idea of literally having a room full of tents for everyone to stay in is unreal. Fuck any company that even allows this, let alone forces their […]

This book was great. I'd definitely recommend it! #bookstodon https://glammr.us/@jessamyn/115413823954624016

A year ago today we left future owners of our home a fun surprise to find if they dig up our patio or convert the house into apartment buildings.

DAMMIT GIANTS!! *sigh*

Someone sent this to me and I have to share it because I think I'm broken now…

Huh. Seems familiar.. https://consequence.net/2025/10/robby-roadsteamer-detained-ice-portland/ https://flipboard.com/@washpost/world-gmn4hl27z/-/a-Fdy0QvIWRe2sGgqGVzpFQw%3Aa%3A419161690-%2F0

Cybersecurity was always political. You can’t escape effects on defense, intelligence, and even the increasingly flooded industry job market by closing your eyes really hard and sticking your fingers in your ears. You can’t escape cybersecurity being political by being, “not really into politics”.

So the local GOP is pushing REALLY hard to boot out a bunch of State Supreme Court justices who just happen to be Dems. Why? According to the literature, it's because there should be term limits. And I totally agree! Term limits are important and should be in place for EVERY elected office. ALL […]

I have VOTED! Just need to drop my ballot off at the election office now. #vote

New puppers! She's still adjusting, lots of fear, but we'll get there. Got her hanging out with me in my office while the wife is out. She's a tad restless and whiny at the moment, but trying to make sure to spend time with her. #dogstodon

A CISO walks into a bar and orders a beer. The bartender says, "That'll be $8." The CISO replies, "I'll need to see your PCI-DSS compliance certificate, conduct a vendor risk assessment, review your incident response plan, and get approval from three committees before I can hand you my credit […]

GAH! I hate reading a really good book AND being a responsible adult who knows they can't stay up til 2am to finish reading the aforementioned good book.. *sigh* #bookstodon #responsibility #adulting

Oh no! #RIP Dr. Jane Goodall BREAKING: Dr. Jane Goodall, an animal rights advocate, has died of natural causes at age 91, the Jane Goodall Institute says in a statement. https://nbcnews.to/42ZXPCN

So .. how confident are we that the smarter heads in the military will tell Trump to go fuck himself if he tries to roll out actual troops to US cities? Are we confident at all? Or ..

@lilithsaintcrow ok, there’s a scooby and shaggy reference. I officially love this book.

I'm about 1/3 of the way through and it's really good. I haven't quite figured out everything going on yet, but I'm leaning in a few directions.. Curious to see how things play out. :) https://raggedfeathers.com/@lilithsaintcrow/115288425315870989

If your book(s) were, or are pirated on LibGen and subsequently used by Anthropic to train its AI models, the courts have ordered them to pay a minimum of $1.5B. Authors might/could/perhaps get an estimated payment of $3,000 per work (based on current estimates of the # of pirated works trained […]

Trump encourages women to "tough out" their pain in pregnancy like he toughed out the bone spurs in his heels to honorably serve his country in Vietnam.

So .. does everyone go up at once today? Or do you need to take a number? Or did everyone get a calendar invite? Just trying to understand when I need to be alert for driverless vehicles and falling planes…

It’s very likely that RFK Jr. will announce that vaccines are the cause of autism. As someone in the medical field I cannot stress this enough: VACCINES DO NOT CAUSE AUTISM. They also don’t “trigger” autism and they don’t “make it worse”. The vaccine regime for kids is perfectly safe, and should […]

Sales rep just told me their product is doing detections without using any indicators at all.. Umm.. What?

Started, and finished, @scalzi's latest Old Man's War book, The Shattering Peace, last night. What a great read. It was such a joy to return to the Old Man's universe. Hoping to see more in the future! #bookstodon #oldmanswar #scalzi

Like Ozempic, but instead of stimulating your GLP-1 hormone, we inject you with various contagious diseases such as strep or influenza. The resulting illness makes you so sick you have no interest in food, plus the fevers dehydrate you, dropping even more pounds! And bonus, you're so sick you […]
