State or the world: Some rich people are mad that the Konami Code they got in life doesn't automatically win the game for them and are taking out that frustration on others who never got a Konami code.

It's surreal how different the US economy is from just five years ago and how different that was from five years before then.

The thing about studying history is that it's difficult in that these aren't the worst times by far, but also we should have well known better than to be here and heading in this direction.

The #lenovo #thinkpad P14s (Ryzen version) running #fedora #linux is my absolute jam for a work laptop.

The best thing about a DDOS event is when you only know it's happening because your monitoring stack tells you about it because otherwise the service never got degraded. 😎

Silksong reminds me so much of Tunic. Really keeps me hoping that there will be a surprise #Tunic sequel. #silksong #hollowknight #gaming

If you look over the agenda of an all day event and the thing that's most exciting to you is the lunch, you might be an introvert.

RE: https://mastodon.online/@vwbusguy/115232325983299422 Here's what my first #mastodon quote post looks like.

Oh hey! I see I can quote for the first time here today! #mastodon #mastodononline

Fedora Linux 43 Beta is out now! Help the Fedora community prepare for a smooth stable release! ➡️ https://fedoramagazine.org/announcing-fedora-linux-43-beta/ #fedora #linux #opensource

Until EL10 has cowsay, I'm not trusting it in production. #linux

An article about #nextcloud makeuseof.com: I replaced Google Drive with a self‑hosted cloud and the freedom is worth it https://www.makeuseof.com/i-replaced-google-drive-with-selfhosted-cloud-freedom-worth-it/

Today, we’re ready to show you the upcoming quote posts feature in more detail. We’ve put together a blog post with examples of how quote posts will work on Mastodon, ahead of early access on our own servers next week 💬 Full launch to come, in Mastodon v4.5 […]

The new #Chit episode... 🤯

An unreasonable amount of time in my morning is spent searching for the cup of coffee that I've hidden from myself.

The workers are always well aware of a recession long before it is officially recognized by economists. "The payrolls benchmark revision followed on the heels of news last Friday that job growth almost stalled in August and the economy shed jobs in June for the first time in four and a half […]

Concerned employee behind the counter where I ordered a "diablita" pupusa , looking me in the eyes: "Are you sure? It's *very* spicy." Me: Well, I guess we'll see. (It was spicy, but not too bad - I didn't sweat.)

Help us with internationalization for the Fedora 43 release! We will have test days from Sep 9-15. 🗓️ Learn more: https://fedoramagazine.org/contribute-at-the-fedora-linux-43-i18n-test-week/ #fedora #linux #opensource

Indianapolis has a significantly higher violent crime rate than Chicago.

Update: The cable arrived and I took it to the office today. I put in an OS9 disk knowing it shouldn't work but I got head seek noises. I did some note digging in the archives and found an actual #apple //e disk! #retrocomputing

I hate that unsubscribing from a YouTube channel, etc, feels like harming someone rather than just cleaning out the feed of stuff that you're just no longer interested in.

I bought Silksong. I haven't played it yet, but I can't not support a major game where the dev priced it at only $20 in this economy. And I got the Switch and Switch 2 version without having to buy it twice! I never even owned/played Hollow Knight.

[Almost certainly TMI] I finally got a bidet. I take back some of the things I said about Europeans.

Using AI *locally* to generate alt text for pictures seems like a potentially very good use case. I wouldn't be mad if more apps did this as long as it was all local to the device and opt-in.

I finally ordered a manual cast iron juicer.

Installing #fedora #cosmic (Atomic) on this Ryzen HP laptop so my son can have a laptop to learn #godot on.

I kind of want Don McMillan to do some sketches on #linux for non-tech folks. #comedy

I can't tell you just how much I enjoy these AI chat pop ups on the Home Depot site so that every time I try to filter search, I end up going to the chat and have to start all over again when I go back. The pop ups even come back when you clear them! #ai #homedepot #ux #ui

My advice for #jenkins is pretty simple: Ignore everything except declarative pipelines and use the Blue Ocean UI to analyze your jobs. The biggest problem with Jenkins is not that you can't do anything but that there are often a dozen ways to do anything. Declarative pipelines (Jenkinsfile in […]

Git + Jenkins + Ansible + Kubernetes is an absolutely killer stack.

The "that was quick and easy to deploy pipeline" this week: * Infisical (secrets vault by environment) * Git forge (Forgejo) * Jenkins (build, test, deploy) * Harbor (container registry) * Rancher (Kubernetes - test and production deployments) * ansible, ha_proxy, cert-manager, prometheus, etc […]

I really hope there's an eventual sequel to #Tunic.

You gotta ponk to make a honk. 😂

For better or worse, I've seen a lot of tech things come and go, but one thing I'm grateful about is #python becoming a generally uncontroversial choice for so many things.

Every time I say I'm not going to travel for a while, I end up eating my words, so I'm just gonna stop declaring that.

"Very safe in bathroom"

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 […]

"We are what they grow beyond." I don't care what you feel about the #starwars sequels, that was a solidly great line by Yoda.

Finally solved the #degoogling debate. Anyone who finds fault with this list = Skill issue.

You know what I'd love to see? A solo battle between Les Claypool, Bela Fleck, and Steve Vai. #music

I saw this Molotov Mario art in Nevada earlier this year. #mario #supermario #art #flowerpower #nintendo

If you recently heard the sound of loud howling in the distance, my beagle was happy to see me when I got back from my trip and she wanted to let the world know.

Today makes it twice this year that I'm wearing a full suit and tie. That might be a new record for me for the past decade, where most years that number has been zero.

Chit being so fit and athletic ironically makes it the best publicity Subway has had in a very long time.

I'm starting to read the Wingfeather Saga. I'm not far into the first book yet but I've got some air travel this week. The beginning reminds me of the fake gnome intro in the Leminy Snickets movie.

I don't know why, but string cheese just tasted different in the 1980s.

I don't always mind repairing things. It's often fun for me and my repairs generally stick. What I do mind is how often things need to be repaired. The solution is probably obvious: I need to have less things.

Well, this is a timely new music release for me, as I prepare for my fourth trip there this year.

I should really replay Echoes of Wisdom. Such a good game.

There is a parallel universe where Scott owns a jet ski. Scott does not own a jet ski in this universe.
