@ai6yr here's some creativity! (if it really worked it'd be awesome lol)

Narcissus and Goldmund have been catching up in our front yard. They have a lot to talk about.

Sometimes you work on the same problem all day only to have the outcome of your efforts be nothing more than a hopefully well-written bug report. #sysadmin

Given how consistently terrible #atlassian software is at every level (frontend, backend, customer support, billing practices), and for how long they've been consistently terrible, how in the everlasting fuck are we as an industry so fucking hung up on using their garbage bullshit software? […]

Yes, let's mount the track light right here, because bulbs never ever burn out. Right? By the way, if anyone has suggestions as to the right way to access this please let me know.

Just for hopefully-not-future-reference: If I should happen to be killed by a gun-wielding assassin, feel free to politicize it immediately. No waiting period required on my account.

No, Soil and Hipster Coffee Co. I don't want turmeric in my coffee. That's fucking weird, stop.

Kids have been tasked with asking three people in their lives how we would define human rights. My answer: "The right for all people to do as they like so long as they don't cause harm." I've now either made an implacable enemy of their social studies teacher or a new friend.

You know it's time to call it a week when your monitoring system starts re-creating ancient internet memes. #sysadmin

One of the nice things about #moving is when the place you're moving to has decent Internet.

We're packing up to move house. The teenagers are arguing about belongings. The dog is barking because he's nervous about the teenagers arguing. And the boxes. The entire house is a trip hazard, and the entire world is a dumpster fire. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WJsFvLBdOi0

Random: "So, how's your day going?" Me: `ansible-playbook foo.yml --tags fuck` #sysadmin

Going off an antidepressant two weeks before getting a 60-day notice from my landlord just in time for the world to erupt in an historic steaming pile of bullshit:

The moon is so bright it is generating .21V on one of my solar panels! #moon

Free software people I am begging you to stop naming your software

New, by me: GOP Cries Censorship Over Spam Filters That Work The chairman of the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) last week sent a letter to Google's CEO demanding to know why Gmail was blocking messages from Republican senders while allegedly failing to […] [Original post on infosec.exchange]

I'm not saying I would announce winning the lottery. I am saying there would be signs. (there are other versions of the meme, this one is mine)

Grinding through a bunch of installers makes me think about some things, such as: 1. How would I feel if my homeland were referred to as a "minor outlying island?" 2. The population of Adak, Alaska is 171 as of 2020. I am certain that this is vastly outnumbered by the number of servers that […]

@me he starts talking 1:40+ into the stream, but yep, he's still alive.

Donald's "proof of life" press conference is currently 20 minutes late: https://www.youtube.com/live/I8DnGstg2-k

It's Saturday. Find your joy.

The existence of the file: /boot/grub2/grubenv.rpmnew means only one thing: somebody fucked up building an RPM. #thisshouldneverhappen #sysadmin

Me when I'm trying to call time on a meeting topic and try to move things forward:

Is the US done winning yet? /s #uspol #tariffs

I sent this to a friend of mine who does carpentry pretending I didn't know it was #aislop So if I'm found murdered in my bed tomorrow now you know why.

People offering homes to rent should reduce the asking cost by at least $1000 per month if there's a homeowner's association involved. Similarly, homes for sale should be at least $100,000 less if there's an HOA. I said what I said.

Now this is a journalist who deserves respect.

"Make the adjustment in Zabbix," he said. "It'll be really quick and then you can get back to your actual work," he said. Man, FUCK Mondays. #sysadmin

Today in "Every accusation is a confession"

So, the US government is taking over the means of production. Could it be... #communism?

Dear vendors of things: when I give you my phone number for the purposes of order updates, I did not give you my number so you're fucking idiotic marketing team could use it to harass me with surveys well after the event. Fuck off.

[Work stuff] The advantage in being the first person to notice your payroll department has committed a company-wide blunder is that you can get a paper check cut to fix the problem before you go kick over the hornet's nest by telling your colleagues about the problem.
