… and then they kept saying I was responsible for all the bad shit that keeps happening to all of us, but really its been their fault the entire time! therapist: hmm… and this started with avocado toast? me: *sob* YES! *sob* and now costco $5 chicken is somehow bad?! WHEN DOES END?!

sadly, if we brought this back, youd probably just get a fortnight skin or some Robux

slowly realizing many youtube tutorials on enterprise technologies only skim the surface of the most flashy topics, and learning things the old fashioned way of studying the documentation is just a much better approach.

disabling autocorrect to virtue signal your not using ai to talk on the internet is a sad state of affairs if you ask me. You didnt but Im gunna say it regardless.

Star Trek: Voyager reboot where Seven-of-Nine is renamed to Six-of-Seven to appeal to the youths.

Arch linux is unstable! Not really, but i did encounter one of the classic foot guns of (mistakenly) turning it off while updating the kernel. btrfs + frequent snapshots ❤️

Why tf haven't I learned cloud-init before? This shit is magic.

In this household we will be replacing Discord with Polycom VSX Video Coneference Phones running over 512K worth of ISDN connections.

we live in the ruins of a greater civilization

did you know its okay to not know something? the key is: admitting it. or just keeping your f’in mouth closed. kinda depends on the situation. just don’t ask an LLM for the answer and the fuckin post it like you wrote it.

The desire to buy old network gear intensifies 😬

growing up, we were poor, so at a young age I learned to find stuff in the trash and just fix it. I used to hide the things i made. id be shamed and scorned by peers for being dirty, or poor, just because i didn’t buy something. Now it’s “sustainable” - and that’s punk. Go dig in the trash

I wrote “I’m alive” on an index card and photocopied it. The results were shocking!

“It’s the definitely the network, not the app.” when the pcap says otherwise is the kinda shit that sends me

I was asked by a family member how I thought about these (given i have ~opinions~ on tech) and did not like my answer. Pointing a camera in someone’s face is tantamount to pointing a gun in their face. They will absolutely change their behavior, and it’s a power that should be respected.

With discord the way it is maybe it’s time I host a matrix server?

I fell in love with fixing computers when i read how to do this from a copy of windows for dummies my dad had when I was 8 yrs old.

playing doom on my cash register

i’m not suggesting you should dispute your nitro charges with discord by emailing this address: 👉 [email protected] im not a lawyer, im not your lawyer, and im certainly not your mom either. do what you want.

I remember a few years ago we shouldn’t be buying iPhones. inflation is a bitch.

but, hear me out: you could, nothing is stopping you

Unexpected discovery: More DNS blocklists = unhappy partner lesson learned: A tight scope with purpose is better than just ”enabling them all”.

Don’t want to be a reply guy Too distracted to post all day How do yalls do it?

why do we say our passwords out loud now

this is what water in a cable looks like

Making major network changes really shows how many ”best practices” weren’t followed. All those “I’ll do it right later”s are really chapping my ass rn.

When your custom character appears in a cutscene

"America has no culture!" May I introduce you to table tipping? The scientific way to speak to the dead.

Another rejection letter! What a great way to start the week. Really kickin it off on a high note.

OPNsense out here just making good stuff. Latest major release, 26.1, just landed. Eager to see how the API can be used for automation

Working with most folks includeswhat was formerly known as Office365. Now that copilot has invaded, no longer can I just open "office.com" and expect to see my last used files. I am now acosted with a chat bot that is, frankly, useless. I just need to open a fucking word doc. Y MAKE IT HARD MS?

call call call call call them all NOW the next 48 hours are extremely important

Good morning! Let's make something happen today friends. ... but not too much, gotta leave some for tomorrow.

wow, its never DNS until it's fukin DNS... I made some pretty goofy design choices for how my internal DNS works, and now need to re-think the entire thing. Good stuff. Love that for me.

Your last saved meme is your moral philosophy.

Would you give a copy of your house keys to a stranger for safe keeping? How about a giant corporation that has -zero- recourse if they abuse your trust?

Using Linux is effectively becoming a computer vegan. It stops being about the practical benefits and becomes about the virtue itself. Everyone goes through the purity spiral. It starts with “I don’t use proprietary apps.” And if you’re not careful, it turns into “I don’t use systemd.”

Can attest. My daily driver is the most janked up shit, ever. I complain about it incesently. I love it, regardless, because it is -my- computer. No one elses. I own the warts and all. Now I must recomplie my kernal again, leave me alone.

Describing the ACA marketplace in NY: "If you're stranded in the desert desperate for water, and someone is willing to piss on your face - I guess I just have to drink." God damn it.

Postmortum 🧵 Because I enjoy a good public shaming 💕, and I've been doing infra for too long to make mistakes like this. Don't kink shame me. TLDR; I built a storage oroboros, and the kernal lost patience.

I like my apps like I like my relationships: stable

I’ve said it once, and I’ll say it again: I want off Mr Bones Wild Ride.
