Just asked a customer service manager why they didn't have automation tools to add their product to our AWS environment

Then linked a blog post from their own company to explain why I wanted this

I think they attached the blogpost to the engineering ticket, and that brings me joy

Will Roko's Basilisk torture you if you believe there's already sapient AGIs and so get fired from doing AI research?

The new Thinkpad feels like a real battery hog, but having run the numbers, I think it's just that the Macbook has raised my expectations a little bit too high.

I'm on a work call where I'm not the technical person, I'm doing management, organization, and communication

This is the fucking weirdest moment of my life

Management, organization, and communication have turned out to be some of the most important technical skills of my career. Funny how that works.

My wifi access point just fell off my wall

I guess I should have actually screwed that in...

We have it set to 24.5 in the main room, which is pretty good? I dunno

Harry Potter

How do you reconcile loving a series so much just for it to be torn down by the author's horrible bigotry

At pride, some people I was talking to said that they wouldn't let her take it from them, that they wouldn't let her have that over them

But I dunno, it's so hard to read it with the same unbridled enthusiasm I once had, I just feel heartbroken that something that once meant so much to me is broken like this, still...

Does it even make sense, it's just a set of books...

I know it's problematic, and people talk about that 😔, I think that's one of the problems I'm having. I loved it so whole-heartedly for so many years. I even did a course on it in uni where I wrote essays about the themes

It’s hard to let go but you now have the adult perspective to admit it isn’t the best work to hold dear. Like a certain Ice Queen said, let it go…

As a person who does technical interviews for tech companies.

If someone ever showed up to an interview in a suit, I'd be stunned and offput

I'd try to not let it affect my decision, but damn would I be weirded out

So I've been playtesting a #Shadowrun technomancer stream for a while, and if you are interested in technomancers in Shadowrun - check it out! obscuritus.ca/TarotTechnoman…

It uses the Tarot deck to make daily Techno streams! And the techno in my group *loves* it.

#Shadowrun

Me: OpenBSD because it's a no-nonsense system that just works and my computer is a tool, not a project.

Also me: I don't like the battery status reporting tools I've found, I'll make my own.

Also me: Why does all the prior art use polling? Time to look at the kernel source.

The move from "lots of aliens" scifi to "no aliens" scifi is weird.

Like, just such a difference in the kinds of optimism I can feel.

I hear it's pretty cool

Tomorrow I'm going to my first pride event

Over the past few years I've realized I'm both pan/bi and demi, so I guess I belong lol

@silverwizard is much more chill about it than me (in terms of nerves), so I think it'll be fun, and as he has pointed out, we'll potentially know a bunch of people who'll be there too... so not all intimidating strangers (all strangers are intimidating fyi)

I'm excited. I'm gonna wear my rainbow skirt and he's planning on wearing his rainbow vest from our wedding bc when else can you wear that?

Wish me luck, if you want to ❤🧡💛💚💙💜

Recipe to me disliking you

Sales people making me go through demos are slowly making me want to write a 6000 question pre-purchase security review for them to fill out.

But that way vengeance lies.

This thing where I need to argue with a CEO hasn't happened in a few years, and I need to get better at it

I think I now have a list of things that aren't in #OpenBSD base that I can't use a computer without: git and rsync.

Of course if I want to use the computer *for* something, that's a longer list.

It's probably noteworthy that base includes tools that occupy the same space as these. The ones in base don't quite meet my needs but come close enough that they'd do if they were all that was available.

Just what I need, another computer.
At least I only have myself to blame for this one, whatever that's worth.

I always felt like Stephenson was gonna be a shithead. Mostly because Anathem. And apparently.

Thirty years later, the biggest names in Web 3 are supporting Lamina1’s vision for a blockchain protocol equal to the Metaverse’s original promise.

lol, seriously.

It's funny, I assumed everyone would just *get* the joke - but everyone except you not born in 88 has been like "Uh, my email as a kid sucked too".

So thanks for getting my terrible joke for only kids born in 88

Comment if you're interested

I'm curious how many people and in what way people care about opsec

Personally, I am pretty certain my opsec is awful and I kinda wish I could have better opsec because I am generally, clinically (sometimes) paranoid but I also, in my clearer head, think it's too much work to bother with and more than likely nobody will do anything with information I post online
