Hi St. Louis. It’s going to be a fun week at SC25.

Computers make mistakes. All the time.

GWCC is showing why they don’t get the tech conference circuit as much as they could. #KubeCon

I’m currently in a mood where I want to talk about PQC, but also not in a mood to math. Anyone coming to SuperCompute 2025 in St Louis want to geek out about this?

Very early in tech, identity was highlighted as a very difficult problem to solve. Bill Gates talked about it frequently within Microsoft. IAM has become so complex it’s now a discipline. Identity isn’t solved, it will continue to evolve. What’s meant for my ears, may not be meant for my eyes.

I may be around KubeCon.. have a ticket, but some life is happening. Maybe I need a little kick to come to GWCC.

Employer Bossware has always been able to track you. It’s just every now and then another story pops up to remind you, and then everyone forgets again because you don’t have a choice.

There actually is a way to design DNS to not be terrible. I guess this is a lost art.

Sovereign cloud enters the chat once again.

Slow Horses is REALLY GOOD.

Always buy at least two bottles of wine every grocery store trip.

Too common to read a news headline and to know immediately, without reading it, it’s a total lie.

Why have regional/rural ISPs given up running DNS servers?

The Internet supports decentralization. It’s likely your stuff doesn’t have to live in EAST-1.

Presented on SaaS in AV this week. Fun stuff!

Travel. Money returns. Time does not.

If we were all to go through life requesting only the cliff notes version of data, then it’s an active choice to become a stupid society.

How would you feel if you knew your doctor was prompting an LLM like this?

I think we discussed PNaaS today. Python Notebook as a Service.

hahaha

Hey #WiFi peeps how often are you now running in to fault managed power distribution?

It’s not a CVE if you don’t know how to make a CVE.

AV cybersecurity is.. not great. vendors still have things like default port 25 mail relays, regular telnet, and default passwords. However, the industry gets near zero scrutiny from cybersecurity practitioners. Likely because it’s known bad and AV/Media vendors are not pressured. 🤷🏻

Shit i forgot satire was illegal

The guy just sang Reading Rainbow theme song karaoke

If I go broke traveling in my 40s I don’t see the problem. It won’t be the same 10 years from now. Do it when you got it.

My food receipt escalated quickly

The last CERN Open Days event took place Sept 14-15 2019. It might be late 2026 or 2027 for the next Open Days. Still tracking the schedule. Definitely going when it happens.

My garage, some edm, a Guinness, and thirty years of startup ideas….

Yep

AI slop is everywhere.

Apparently all I needed was a Coldplay concert

The format change of MasterChef from where it started, to where it is now, has turned it into a show that doesn’t make sense.

That flamethrower sequence was amazing. 187 full or partial burns in eight days. What a wild film statistic.

Ultimately, I believe the cost of dining out SHOULD continue to rise. Pay people. Eventually, food culture should shift away from fast and cheep to better quality, at home, locally sourced and healthier.

The Bear hasn’t done a dishwasher character episode and that’s a miss. There are some real characters in that part of the kitchen, and, there is a right way to do it.

not all Dolby Vision is created equally.. glhf if you open this doc dolby.my.salesforce.com/sfc/p/#70000...

If streaming services get worse and go back to more ads, it’ll just bring back more piracy.. streaming isn’t really what’s broken though.. the whole industry is broken
