Who needs a manager when you have 30+ tabs open reminding you about all the cool ideas you want to work on but don't have time for.

It starts with uplifting a single repo to follow best practices, and before you know it, you're up for three days in a row uplifting your 20th package. #opensource

I'm convinced that Spirit and Frontier airlines exist only to make all the other carriers look good.

It's amazing how much @microsoft.com is doing wrong and right, all at once. They need more leadership with cohesive vision. Projects like AnduinOS have a better chance at influencing the next decades to come than whatever is going on in Windows 11, although, Plasma is obviously the better choice.

I could go the rest of my life without seeing "BREAKING" again, and it would be pretty great. That word has lost all meaning. Just share what you're gonna share.

Hot take; full self driving is useless if I have to watch the road. I'd rather just be in control. Call me when I can take a nap and do work instead of baby sitting a computer.

"Windows 10 support ends in October" I guess it's time to order a new SSD and start migrating to Linux. I'm so thankful that @steampowered.com has done so much work to make this possible!

I'm sick of managers that ask if #AI will speed me up. Have you ever used Vim? Do you have any idea how difficult it is to learn? If AI offered me any advantage, I'd be happy to adopt it regardless of the adoption pain, but it's a huge waste of time for most of the problem spaces I operate in.

I really hate Zoom. Like, so so much. Meet has it's flaws, but it's way more cross-device compatible.

I don't really get what everyone's hate is about using swap on servers, especially now that SSDs are the standard storage medium. Set swappiness to 0, maybe modify the dirty ratio, but it's pretty nice to have breathing room when you need it.

Dear @developers.google.com , I'm sick of the Gemini pop-ups while trying to get shit done in the GCP console. It's insane when I'm trying to move quickly and you introduce a button on top of another button that does unexpected things. Infrastructure interfaces should be treated more seriously.

Man is born, man lives, man dies And it's all vanity

Has anyone ever thought to challenge @cloudflare.social filtering under CCPA or TDPSA? They store a lot of metadata to calculate their ray tracing.

"touch grass" is just cringe at this point. I assume anyone continuing to use it to be a troll or generally not worth engaging with.

misery sure makes you want to play guitar and sing

That salary, for vice president and extensive knowledge across multiple clouds? I dare you to tell me AI isn't rotting the brains of senior leadership.

fuck all I hate the Arch Linux community

Real question; At what point does @cloudflare.social mis-flagging a user and being blocked from many websites reach illegal levels? IANAL but would love to know.

Hot take: AI bros are worse than crypto bros. At least crypto bros weren't convincing board members you're worth less than you are and trying to displace you at work.

I will happily switch to manager track if it means I never have to do another oncall rotation in my life. #sre

I need more hours

Shokz for work meetings Pixel buds for work jams

Find what you love and let it kill you

It is astounding how much time I lose to looking up computer and airplane parts.

I wonder if the gaming community will ever get rid of all the toxicity. Retro gaming would be a lot more fun if it didn't involve a constant pissing contest.

lol deepseek is a whopping 404gb. just when I thought my storage needs were under control. #ai

Dear software developers in PST, You know there are other time zones, right?

Some conservative friends say things like "liberals don't like long form podcasts", to which I return, "and how come you've never read any of the books I've recommended?", and the excuses just pour out.

No matter how bad Amazon is, there is something to be said for them not cracking down on password sharing, adding tariff transparency, and as someone that grew up in a small town, making so many products available that otherwise were impossible to find as a kid.

Sometimes I wonder if Corsair and Gigabyte are competing for who is worse at supporting RGB lighting. Hard to believe that MSI came out on top here.

Never argue with an idiot, they'll only bring you down to their level, and beat you with experience.

TIL Reebok still makes pump sneakers and I lowkey want a pair

Hear me out; If your conservative buddies are learning about the Autism Registry and worried about their kid(s), DO NOT rub it in their face. Let it settle in on it's own. Let them arrive at an organic conclusion that they've been deceived. Be the place of comfort, not the source of more pain.

I love that Steam Deck defaults to KDE #linux

Word to the wise, make your electronics purchases soon. Got denied an order because the new tariffs.

the past has a vote, not a veto

There can be a peace that comes when you, who is not the person you assumed you’d become, realize you will not accomplish many of the things the person you no longer are always dreamed of, and you pivot with surprising happiness to achieving the things that are within the new you’s grasp.

I am walking the cow

RFK Jr thinks autistic people are second class citizens who “never pay taxes”, “never hold a job”, are a burden on society and that vaccines cause autism so they should be banned. Incredibly destructive ideas for anyone to have, let alone the secretary of health and human services. Crazy times.

This government report from 1973 encapsulates America's then-emerging fears about the US government cross-referencing databases to engineer social policy absent due process, and tendency of governments to categorize people deemed "high risk" www.justice.gov/opcl/docs/re...

Why isn't there an open source project to automatically report scanners running on well known hosters? My personal servers get scanned by Linode and Hetzner nodes, multiple times per day. It's a clear abuse of policy. Am I off base here? #linux #cybersecurity
