Can I say how fucking unprofessional it is to fucking mute the alert channel rather than prioritizing fixing the broken alert

Being on vacation for a week was way too much effort - camping with a 2 year old is a lot.

@Titan Up the Defense just out of curiousity - do you think Mal's pole vaulting is that of a mortal teen?
Yes. It is just the regular kind of everyday pole vaulting all the kids in his neighborhood did all the time when he was growing up.

I am going to need a more powerful work computer
Not to do my job - but to use all the junk like Miro and Zoom and Datadog
My daily tasks are trivial for my computer to perform - but using the tools we've chosen means I need more.
This is failure of our entire industry.

@CJ the Awkward Lefty huh, seems like Windows deals less well with low RAM than I'd expect, because that seems an ok CPU and ok disk.
But I mean, don't ask me about computers I only buy stuff people are discarding and then build abominations out of it, I don't do computers anymore

Boss: *reviewing my slides for a talk* "I don't understand any of this from my slides! This talk is bad
Me: Uh... why would the slides be the talk? The slides are just some anchors and an agenda?
Boss: Well yes of course they are, but looking at the slides I don't understand the topic, these are just point form!

@Hypolite Petovan It was a fairly high level talk given within the business. The talk was me to coworkers.

I wish Slack allowed me to schedule posts for like 9:15 or whatever in one click.
0900 is a terrible time for scheduled posts, neither of us are done coffees.

Trying to setup some stupid Amazon web portal thing - and it's... a joke.
They want me to have a massive network setup - but there's no feedback about how things are setup. And - I mean, I have the gateway connected to the gateway and then a route connected to the gateway? That seems correct?
So I go and hit my home address from the portal, and I see a burst of activity in my logs, followed by nothing, because traffic is getting to the right spot but then Amazon is ignoring that.

@Troy the Gardener yeah - my parents gave me the pump for my birthday but they seem, reasonably, priced
Remember - when you get an AI image captcha - you can usually make a few mistakes without penalty - make sure to do that
There should be a convenient way to make Google pay me at a bare minimum $1000 for every time I run into recaptcha.

What's the status of video editting in the Open Source world?
My kid seems to want to do video editting (loves the idea of making portals, he's drawing them and filming them on his tablet, but wants the shimmer)

Just keep in mind that if it was a corporate social network - the difference would be
1) the FBI would send a letter not a raid
2) you wouldn't know it had happened

I can only find the twitter number but it looks like the FBI payed Twitter $3.5 million between Oct 2019 and Feb 2021
We don't know how many requests but that seems like not a small number

One of the biggest traps I see is that communication and effective action is called incompetence
When Chapters/Indigo took down their store after a ransomware attack my dad kept telling me how incompetent it made them seem. In my opinion, they are the only sensible store I've ever seen. After that I trust their team has the resources to do their job.
Sure, an instance got raided, but they did the right things afterward. And if you can tell me where I can find a remote instance with enough disk, ram, and cpu to figure out wtf on a prod DB, you let me know

How do you tell a sales person "you are unselling me - tell me a price and shut up"
They just - are managing to make me less excited as time goes on - because I know they are *saying* things wrong. I've *used* the product before.

Security is the tool by which we protect privacy and increase safety.
Saying something increases security while reducing privacy *better* come with a coherent argument about safety, otherwise you're probably a bootlicker.

Jottacloud is supported by rclone and warns me when I fuckup and delete a bunch of files - and stores them for me temporarily. I am very happy.

Aw shit! A rumour that makes all of the "Wait and See maybe Meta isn't evil" look very stupid. If the rumour is true, it turns out that Meta is indeed evil. If the rumour is untrue... uh... maybe you should check any other source about if Meta is evil
oh, here's some JUICY rumored details about meta's plans for the fediversetl;dr "Meta will only federate with select larger instances from the beginning. There will be contracts which also provide for financial compensation for the instance owners."
can't entirely verify their validity but it's still worth posting just in case

@vantablack Any idea how Louis learned this? I tracked down the original conversation on his timeline and someone else asked him the same question--he hadn't answered yet. He seems like a decent guy but I think he's inferring/guessing rather than knowing per se.
