I am starting to get auditor questions like "Do you use any cloud computing". And this is super frustrating. These are mostly banks asking if we use offsite stuff like AWS or Azure mostly I think. But I need to be like "We manage code in BitBucket?" because what even is The Cloud.
When legal and financial teams adopt your buzzwords without defining them then you've made it as an industry I guess?

Last night I was trying to debug an issue with upgrading Ruby, so I spent an hour *causing* the issue somewhere else, and then had to go to bed.
Meaning I spent all my debugging time causing the problem I was fixing.
Aw computers

So thinking about https://openai.com/gptbot-ranges.txt
Hear me out:
We need to make a project to make a site with infinite links all of which are autogenerated garbage, just for those ranges

@Hypolite Petovan yeah - basically
In university I wrote a tool called The Eye of Argonizer (makes text more like The Eye of Argon) and a wikipedia dump and the Eye of Argonizer ported out of ancient java, easy to do
Put OpenAI on a tarpit that serves the Eye of Wikipedia on the fly, and and distribute it as a plugin service

Fuck - holy shit - Datadog! Don't rescale my percentile graphs!
If I suddenly see a DB capping out utilization I *panic*.
If I realize a second later it's because the Y axis tops at 50% I am so angry.

I should do the courses, become a certified SOC/ISO/whatever auditor, and then dye my hair blue
I have some of my most fun work conversations with auditors - but ... uh... the auditor stereotypes always make me laugh

@Hypolite Petovan It's just
I love talking to auditors, they seem so refreshingly dedicated to work. And yet whenever I talk about audits people are like "auditors are boring" and so ...
I would make a normal audit person - right? Make people being audited explode

One thing I am noticing in my auto-complete location bar, and my searches, is that top level pages are getting ignored.
If I go to "example.com" it will show "example.com/blog_post" but will only fill example.com at the last minute.
It feels like we're being dragged by automation toward the less Destination Web and more the Search Web.
(to be clear this is with DuckDuckGo and Firefox not even with Google/Google)

Ug, I wrote an #UnknownArmies module about a group of ex-coworkers from <closed news service> infiltrating a rave run by a cult in order to out magic for a <billionaire trying to drive traffic to social network>, but uh, Sleepers, Cultists, and personal Drama.
And then I never got to run it!
I've washed more Yubikeys in the washing machine than I have been attacked by SIM swapping attacks. Has anyone dealt with this as a security question yet?

Ug - I need popup blocks for the web.
Why the fuck did JS thing drawing over a page was a good thing to allow?!
It's the whole history of the web.
SGML was intended to overcome proprietary file formats for documents, marking text semantically, leaving it to the user to decide how to display it. HTML was originally an instance of SGML.
From the beginning, people were trying to thwart the design of HTML to force people to see pages specific ways. The early books on web design were mostly about how designers could abuse the standard with "tricks" to control the experience of users.

I just realized that my gopher phlog has null.hosts over its gophermap because I put it in a chroot.
I should be more responsible and write a less defaulty gophermap

There's a theme in my Burning Wheel game that our spellcasters have:
Read
Calligraphy
Symbology
but not the Write skill, it often ends up leading to very funny situations.
Our belief is that Wizards can Spell but they can't spell

I wish I had a tool to manage my webapps separately from my web pages. Maybe a way to launch individual services and update them separately from my reference tool.

@Hypolite Petovan yeah - I am
I am wishing we wrote standalone software rather than just being like "let's make the web a complication target because driveby malware is too hard and installed software is too easy to learn and get used to"

ChatGPT is very much the most obviously designed to look human.
I rememeber GPT2 and people being like "whoa, this is cool" and then kinda... nothing. After a bit OpenAI had to be like "oh we have GPT3 now! But.... uh... if we release it, it'll end the human race. So uh... better not...."

My son has been playing he has a magic sword recently and he says "Daddy the sword turned us into different people! I'm a knight! What are you?"
I respond "I'm a wizard!"
He responds "No daddy! You have to be something different"

@Hypolite Petovan Elon Musk has stated (a few times) that Twitter will be removing the Block feature since - Elon is bad
Block, Inc is another dumb rebrand of the company Square where Jack wanted to do more Blockchain
So it's just a dumb pun about Jack and Elon
