mastodon 4.6.8Often High Pope Bob Dobberson, at your service.
I'm a "hacker" with years of experience with unix systems, and knowledge of more than a handful of programming languages.
I will learn what you know by asking silly questions.
I do not like all of my friends, and I think it is silly to want that.
I am fallible. You will not like everything I say. Have patience while we learn together; I will endeavor for the same.
No gods, no masters, plenty of irony.

@SpaceLifeForm@infosec.exchange I heard one of the engineers cursing Earthling DNS.

@SpaceLifeForm@infosec.exchange I agree. This makes things non-trivial, but I imagine humans have learned enough about variable g and time and distance that we can maybe approximate my answers.
Clearly the black hole engineer that told me all of this has a higher level of understanding, and the college they graduated from might have had much more advanced courses than we know of... But they might have also been simplifying things for my considerably simpler mind.
Replying to
@SpaceLifeForm@infosec.exchange well, sure, our spines may compress, but... Is the literal definition of length affected by the differing gravity?
The change from 1 to 2.4 would barely be noticeable as you climb down the stairwells.
Is length affected by gravity? Would 20 feet at 2.5g be the same as 20 feet at 1g?

@TheBreadmonkey reminds me of the years I spent on IRC before social media. Everyone was equal.

@fesshole@mastodon.social or something.

@TheBreadmonkey@beige.party I will make note of that and let people know I trained in France as well. ;)
I was watching something else, and Adamski came up so I looked 'em up, and found this. Interestingly, this has been sampled in at least one of the songs on my chill playlist... I'll have to make note next time I hear it, or just do some searching...

@aral@mastodon.ar.al it is, but it isn't, because they are presumably running on at least slightly different infrastructure... but yeah, I feel you.

@An0n@beige.party I've also been overpaying on eBay for some skirts since I haven't been able to get a ride to a thrift shop in a while, and realized I could search the brand and size of one of my favorite skirts.

@Unixbigot I find BLE Radar to be a bit nicer, as it shows manufacturer information.

@TheBreadmonkey@beige.party in case I become a cooking influencer, what is the proper word to use for toasting spices?
Replying to
@charette@mstdn.ca it's because that is the core of the messaging the population is flooded with. The more doom you feel, the more helpless you feel, and helpless people are easy to corral.
Replying to
@aral@mastodon.ar.al in fairness, both mastodon.online and mastodon.social share the same IP addresses... So... this sheds doubt on my idea they are on separate infrastructure...

@aud@fire.asta.lgbt the best kind. Welcome aboard.

@gimulnautti a lot of what we are seeing began in the 80s (and probably well before then) with Reagan, Thatcher, and Gorbachev. Putin and Trump are parts of the plan.

@An0n@beige.party I wore kilts for years before that, but there was something different about a purple skirt...
Replying to
@An0n@beige.party FUCK YEAH! I still remember my first time going grocery shopping in a skirt. It's been 5 years...
So damned comfortable now...
Replying to
@An0n@beige.party thrift shops are your friend, you can get skirts for like $6...

@andrzej@social.dukla.ch introducing yourself, and tagging it with #introduction allows others to find it and boost it and get your instance more familiar with other instances. It's not a bad thing.

@hywan@floss.social thank goodness Debian Trixie is on 6.1.0... hah...
Oh shit. There's mead, isn't there? He says, being mournful of the end of his two claimed beers.
The gas might be turned off... I might have to deduce and solve problems to get some mead... That's the prize, right? Even though I should be winding down...
Nobody's gonna drive me... I'm not gonna do Uber... Fuck it... sleep in, right?

@donni@mastodon.social all we can do is bring our neighbors together.

@malwaretech out of curiosity, wouldn't it have been efficient / effective to craft your prompt using a known and blacklisted vulnerable driver? That seems like that might have saved some tokens.

runs more than one instance (why?)
Because it's best to have multiple points of failure? Why centralize things?

@SpaceLifeForm@infosec.exchange I wonder if it hasn't happened before.

@mgorny makes me wonder if I should adopt an LTS release to stick with for the next 20 years, since I don't really see that many improvements in Linux these days.
Shit worked fine 10 years ago. Why's it gotta keep changing?
