Kinda fun that I have to wipe my own laptop in Intune before my account is disabled because there's no one in EST online today with access but me....

34C and I absolutely had to put on 2 layers of hazmat gear...

New jorb starts July 6. No longer Staff Engineer, now "Security and IT Architect". Pretty awesome title upgrade. Going to be building a security program, and infra for a financial platform. All greenfield, so it'll be great new challenges again!

Ugh. Back to work today after my sabbatical. Still waiting for new employer to sign off on my new employment contract. In a holding pattern to put in my notice. I hate this....

Signed the offer for a new job today. Leaving Ad Tech, which was interesting, but so toxic.

I want a sex helmet, I love the look of the Drager hps 3500, but I also want something a little more bespoke. I'm thinking something 3d printed, and assembled. But I'm not sure entirely what I want it to look like.... Something between the Drager, satisfactory and No Man's sky anomaly helmet.

I've now burned out 2xL298N motor drivers with the 24V 45W gear motor I bought. I have a suspicion those drivers aren't the right tool for the job... I'm building another fuck machine... I could always just use a simple variable resistor and control the voltage, but I want a cordless remote.

Fresh install... Awesome...

New recon app is worse than the old one. After nearly a decade of development you'd think it'd be better. I was using it less before the update, I'll probably just stop using it all together now...

Just remember... Covid is still a thing, it's also extremely difficult to get paxlovid now that no one gives even the slightest shit about it...

Was out in Banff, Jasper, yoho and the surrounding area for the past week. A great trip, did some bucket list items. Mountains and glaciers were featured extensively. My flight home yesterday was terrible. Never flying Flair again...

6am flights should be illegal. In fact, anything before 8am should just be blanket outlawed

Meetings all morning, then need to put some final documentation together. As soon as I'm done and push the PRs to github I'm on my sabbatical for a month!

Hey folks, reminder (sigh, again), that surveillance capitalism and megalomaniac CEOs aren't your friends. Take note and do not give in to use social media platforms that prey on dark patterns and walled gardens.

Personal opinion: Rubber and gear nights held in bars are tough for me. I had to give up alcohol not because of addiction or anything like that, but entirely medical reasons. As someone who did enjoy a drink socially going to a bar night is extremely difficult and it feels very gate kept to me.

Friday is for hazmat. Fight me.

Apparently my employer "doesn't give cost of living increases". But also has HR manipulate employee ratings so they don't have to give performance increases. Private equity brain. Remember, private equity ruins everything. I can't wait to leave.

FFS kinkster! Stop using these new blow-up collars! They are neither a safe nor a gradual way for breath control but fucking dangerous and lethal in ways you probably did not think off! toytorture.com/warning-agai...

Holy shit this. I hate that capitalism has consumed everything.

First mtb ride of the season. It felt great, but now I'm sore.

Has anyone replaced the batteryin their et312 with a lithium battery? The lead acid in mine is dead, I could get another, but I kinda want something lighter...

Is cleaning up silicone lube really that hard? Blue dawn works on all surfaces, I use scrubbing bubbles bathroom cleaner on the playroom floor. 99% Isopropyl alcohol also cuts through it with no problem. Lysol wipes work pretty well too. I didn't know this was such a problem...

Ugh. I need a new job.

For my birthday today I got a smaller chastity cage. Down from the N+ to the N.

Looking at new jobs. Canadian Tech companies really need to learn they won't compete doing these things. $30k/yr less for a Canadian employee to do the exact same thing as an American hire. Canada's cost of living is higher, albeit we don't have to pay for health care directly Company name removed.

Garbage bags were one of the first "kink" items I could get my hands on. Still absolutely love the feeling of plastic bags against my skin, especially in bondage.

Just a quick snap testing some new gear that literally JUST arrived. Paired with a big one air. Gorgeous and comfortable

And so here it is, fully assembled, functioning! Little things, like some red loktite on the eyelets, and maybe a box on the magnets to prevent twisting and enforce alignment, but overall. It seems like it's gonna do the job perfectly! The most expensive part is that m5 core2

The m5 doesn't line up perfect, but it's good enough. Should be able support 4 bar electromagnets (ones I have draw about 0.15A so about 2W each) with a USB power supply. Run time maxed to 12hrs, but a simple code adjustment would allow you to change that...

SO CLOSE

Been using my Cobra N+ for over 2 years now. Nearly always locked outside of some breaks for vacation and health. Decided i want to try downsizing the cage, Cobra N has been ordered...

Listen, usually it's not this bad, but it does the job.

Man, I should win awards for the amazing soldering job I've been doing with this project.(that's sarcasm BTW)

🤤

When asked "what are you thinking about for dinner" is "giving up" a reasonable answer? BTW, this isn't a call for help, I'm just stressed and unsatisfied with a bunch of things. It feels easier to just give up on all of it right now...

Makin' shit...

The guy fixing my oven is really cute. He also has a really good choice in tools, all the important stuff is Klein.

Work takes up way too much time I would rather put towards open source sex toys. I really need to not have 20 different projects on the go at once, but I have so many ideas!!!

Looks like AI slop to me...

I managed to get this thing on alone the other day, it was a challenge. If the velcro flap on the zipper would have fallen, I'd probably be stuck 😂 Gonna have to try it with someone who can help me get in and out.

I could go for some bondage, but I'm so baked it would be a challenge to get up...

I'm not into ABDL at all, however I feel like this is a really dangerous slippery slope to go down. www.gov.uk/government/n...

It's Friday, that means work in gear again. Same as last time including the rubber underneath, just different gloves. Went with the heavier 8mil nitrile gloves, they hit different. Working in gear just makes the day so much more enjoyable.

Gimme Gimme Gimme! As someone who spends a lot of time outside during the summer, picking up a tick and getting Lyme is a huge worry. Even at 75% efficacy I'd be all over this

"Error: Try 'puppet help help help' for usage" has to be the best error message ever

I'd show up at way more social events if I could be the bondage object struggling and moaning off to the side...

Anyone got any good suggestions to getting into and out of gear with heavy back zippers? Not necessarily Dynat zippers, but them too. I've tried shoelaces and lanyards, but not had a whole lot of luck.

The gear. (Rubber underneath)

Gear work day? Gear work day.

Experienced my first DC fast charge today. That shit is magic
