mastodon 4.7.2I am Matt.
I am queer. 🌈🦄
I am Craque music & art & DJ bricolage. #craque
My fixation is music. I love #improvisation. So much so that I research how it works in socio-technical operations. #SRE #LFI
I post on #music and #tech, some on #CPTSD and #neurodivergence, #hyperacusis #tinnitus #migraine, and hot takes when inspired. ❤️🔥
I share my sonic meditations and #electroacoustic improvs.
I seek mindfulness through #DeepListening.

Scavengers Reign is really good. I think my favorite part is the soundtrack? Visually it is Fantastic Planet meets Studio Ghibli.
This new property management company we got forced into wants me to install a phone app to do a house inspection and I just told them that for privacy reasons I'm not doing that and can they provide me with a non-phone-app way to do it.
We'll see what they say, because frankly this is corporate neoliberal bullshit. I do not think they have any ability to force me to install a goddamn APP to do a house inspection.
Pleased to meet Brick the Jumping Spider!
I thought she was dying, that I had lain her to rest in the soil. But she revived and now sits underneath the succulent leaves.
Named because I found her injured on the patio bricks, barely moving. She let me hand her a stick to climb, she grabbed it and moved onto it immediately but then remained motionless.
I put her in this pot, something was moist on her head, so I thought the worst. But about an hour later she started moving around the pot, then came out and let me look her over.
In fact she wasn't afraid of me at all, moving around and cleaning off whatever blood or whatever it was off her face. A leg injury maybe? I easily took a few pics as she cleaned and regained her strength.
And wow the green mandibles are just stunning.

I do think we need to steer the conversation to a different word like mega-datacenter.
What we need people to understand is the SIZE of these mega-datacenter behemoths is outrageous. It's not just "datacenters use water" it's also "datacenters the size of small African nations need oceans of water".
Datacenters have been around for decades and people should understand that their phones - analog and digital - have needed datacenters the whole time. And all of those datacenters use water for HVAC, they always have.
I worked for and inside datacenters for the first half of my career and it's some of the most rewarding work I have ever done. These mega-datacenters are not the same.
One of my biggest problems is not looking at something because I am afraid of how I will react to it.
Email is a huuuuuge issue for me.
i gave Lanterns a try but there's just something about these superhero shows that use ultra-realistic settings that really turns me off. i lasted 10 minutes and switched to Rick and Morty.

@giflian@techhub.social I imagine it's something like that. Fuck off to any company that thinks I am going to put personally identifiable data in their phone app.

@giflian@techhub.social And yeah this thing takes photos of the inside of your home. Big nope.
I know I've played a good set when I'm still humming the improvised melodies after it's done.
Someone FINALLY made the Vonnegut butthole comparison to Claude.
And so it goes.

@ai6yr@m.ai6yr.org @scottmiller42@mstdn.social At a code level it is soooooo bad. Unreadable.
mark my words: some schmuck will put an AI model in a synth module.
Always a treat to hear Craque on @somafm@sfba.social but this is the first time I've heard Space Station Soma play some. Thanks for the support!!!
Download the track they played this morning:
Week three and I'm touching prod. And it just feels normal and great and there are good SOP docs and I'm being guided and partnering with people.
Compare this to my toxic as fuck last job where they didn't let me do shit because everyone was jockeying for power but expected me to "read between the lines and pick it up" and it took three months to get me admin and NINE MONTHS before they'd allow me to go on-call. What a nightmare.
Grateful to be where I am now among smart people who care about each other. No signs of hero worship, although there are plenty of knowledge siloes that I'm already starting to break down.
Just tested on most recent raspbian (debian on raspberry pi) linux and Copy Fail for sure fucks up 'su' pages in memory, but the command simply becomes unexecutable. It does not drop me to a root login because it cannot execute the 'su' command. Indeed the '/bin/su' file itself remains untouched.
Reboot and it gets cleared out of memory. But I think "every kernel since 2017" might not be exactly right. Definitely make sure you test this.

@norootcause I'd say we do have the ability to focus on adaptation outside of incidents if we practice.
When we practice together we are surfacing our regular work, the stuff we do that creates safety. That builds connections and pathways for adaptive capacity to become connected.
Orchid number 3 has bloomed!
My Monteverdi platform TUI view uses the tcell go library and it recognizes Ghostty with no problem, but today I discovered that mtr complains it doesn't recognize xterm-ghostty.
I see there's some consternation about Ghostty using its own terminfo and I feel like going ... well sonny, back in my day we had to echo terminfo into the amber 80x20 terminal CRT character by character with a lit match just to get BACKSPACE to work!
Anyway, yelling at cloud gets me nowhere. To get mtr to work I aliased it with an env var:
mtr: aliased to sudo TERM=xterm-256color mtr
But I agree with @mitchellh@hachyderm.io on that crazy issue thread. It's a terminal emulator and that's the whole fucking point of terminfo in the first place.

@JessTheUnstill@infosec.exchange Someone at work - apparently trying to save time? - wrote a maintenance runbook with AI - I guess in the name of avoiding the toil of writing a one-liner script - and it was this complicated loop-based unreadable callback function that was difficult to troubleshoot because it obscured the error from the multiple commands within it. The best part, though, was that it assigned a single value to a list and iterated over the list to do the work - for a single value that would always be a single value, no human would ever have chosen to bother with code that iterates over a list of a single value.
But here we are. Blindly running bullshit callback funcs that are now so plainly AI that I recognize it immediately.

@adrianco @Di4na @norootcause Observing each other from the inside is where we build relationships. Practice together is a method of doing that.
I have led these types of practice sessions at four different companies. We focus on Regular Work, not near misses. I'm giving a special version of this session next month to help demonstrate the idea of Practice of Practice.

Struggling today. We have a neighbor who leaves his house at 5AM. He spends 15 minutes slamming his truck doors and leaving the driver side door open with the key in the ignition so it's constantly BEEP BEEP BEEPing and it's been ripping me out of my sleep in a way that I cannot get back to sleep. Not to mention the gas fumes through my open window that is open because we have no AC. This all happens directly under my bedroom window.
I don't know what to do. It's starting to really negatively affect my day in a bad way.

We can slop AI into everything and make buttons look like something got spilled on the screen but Apple Music visualizer is still complete shit.
Mayday!

@dreid@wandering.shop Thank you for your service! I use the site all the time with my teams.
Went estate sale surfing and found some neat deals and another vintage cassette recorder.

@emeb@society.oftrolls.com I wrote about this very thing last month. I have since gotten a job, there's a lot of AI happening. None of which I can know or do without a workplace paying the bill.

I've got a new article up on the Resilience in Software Foundation (RISF) website!
This post is an introduction to the concept of practicing together in teams and points to some resources for learning more, including the RISF event this coming Wednesday where we'll play through one of the games!

Nice surprise to see the cast of Superstore do a full improv show, and doubly to see Johnny Pemberton performing live... his character is the best one in Fallout.

slight fever and abdominal inflammation pain last night really isn't how i wanted to start the long weekend. diverticulitis is something i suspect because my sister has had it.
Roofing air compressor and related noise since before 7AM today. The new neighbor is having them put down black roofing tiles directly on top of the light gray ones. So not replacing any roofing, but adding onto the existing roofing. With the darkest most sun-absorbent color possible.
