There’s been a fucking Cybertruck parked in front of my house for five days. So annoying.

First, I just want to say that I am offended by the assertion that 2000 was more than 25 years ago. That is a vicious lie.

How does one get their city added to this list? What an amazing service. I can’t wait to experience a full MAGA boycott.

today’s #altTxt #yaddayadda because this will make living in #nyc 100% better:
❝ MAGA is apparently now boycotting going to NYC because they hate the mayor. They say they will never go there again. I mean is this guy fucking amazing or what? That place is going to be a fucking paradise now.❞
FUCK YEAH! i get to live in the great #antifa republic of #Mamdanistan#ZohranMamdani #socialism #democracy
Open quoted postI’m stuck at a gate waiting for a connecting flight in Denver. Several hours delay so far due to weather. Ask me anything.
As someone who reluctantly provides desktop technical support to friends and family, I cannot more fully encourage OS vendors to add restrictions to prevent users from executing click-fix attacks.

@alice@lgbtqia.space I met my sweetheart on a dating site. Just 14 years of patient, unrelenting searching across multiple apps, then bam!
I made a paste of Vaseline® and cayenne pepper to keep the ants out of my hummingbird feeder. Hopefully this does the trick. If not, I'm escalating to double-sided tape.
If you're having thread contention with `database.lock` just add a lock file to control access to the lock file. Use `database.lock.lock` to prevent any concurrency issues in the future.

@cR0w@infosec.exchange I think that likely applies to one vendor in particular. But sure, the bean counters gonna count.
I put in a new controller and drip system this week. Digging 50’ of trench in clay with roots was no fun. But I’m pretty pleased with how it came out.

@briankrebs@infosec.exchange Kinda like the local Orphan Crushing Machine Company that sponsors the beloved local baseball team. There's pros and cons to every catastrophe. Hehe.

@Tutanota@mastodon.social I’ve used Kagi for nearly two years. It’s a very good service that I feel comfortable paying to support. I tend to avoid free offerings that treat me as the product.
Also, the Titanium PowerBook G4 was the best computer ever made and I won’t entertain any incorrect opinions to the contrary.
I feel bad for the AWS team supporting the AWS VPN Client for Windows. I’m sure they’re all ashamed of their poorly skinned copy of OpenVPN, but just got busy with other tasks. Maybe if it was ad-supported they’d get some resources.

@MLE_online When we were kids, we’d scrounge around behind office buildings down the street looking for boxes of wine partially emptied after a sales dept party. Seems sketchy now… as I publicly admit it.

@rmondello I saw a documentary about that phenomenon a while back. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manifest_(TV_series)
Anyway, my purpose here is to raise awareness of the importance of whipped cream on pancakes.
Please be advised of my new Facebook Marketplace policy entitled Tap Tap No Backsies. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
What's the best Torrent index to download TV shows and movies for training my model? I assure you, this is covered by fair use. Trust me.
Sure, I realize I've told this dumb joke multiple times. But since I'm subjected to the dumb news, I feel compelled to repeat it. Dumbly.
I get a burger at The Habit just infrequently enough to forget that they hate their customers and serve Pepsi products. Touché, The Habit. Touché.
I was gifted some Apollo hot sauce a while back. It’s insanely hot, even for me as someone who likes that sort of thing. A couple drops is plenty for a whole bowl of chili. The product ought to be called Totally Irresponsible.
Sure, I realize that like two other people on the whole internet know what I’m talking about, but I’m really bummed to see Lael Wilcox, who I admire more than you can imagine, announcing sponsorship by REI for her attempt to break the around-the-world cycling record. The REI Board is actively union busting and endorsing the current administration. It’s gross.
I would pay for a version of Bitwarden that integrated with the web browser properly. I mean, sure, I already have an enterprise subscription, but apparently using passwords with in a web browser isn't a supported use case.
There are still projects in active development on SourceForge.
You’d think by now I’d stop using “isle” when I meant “aisle.” Well, you’re wrong.
I’ve run my own mail server since ‘98. Always Postfix, and later with Dovecot and OpenLDAP for virtual domains and mailboxes. It’s coming time to rebuild it once again because the CentOS version went EOL a while back. Sure, my IaC is all in Terragrunt and Ansible, so in theory I could stand up a new instance with too much toil. But should I? I’m thinking of migrating to a Fastmail Standard Business plan. Hopefully an API exists to import my 600+ email aliases. It would be optimal if they offered unlimited custom domains — I’ve got a dozen abandoned project domains out there. Heh.
Kids these days don't appreciate that when my generation started using computers, it was common for the bytes read back to differ from the bytes written. Sometimes by a lot. In very important ways. But it was still magical and all we wanted to spend our time fiddling with.
I would like to run my own gist-style service. For snippets and whatnot. Maybe something that uses Codeberg under the hood. Maybe you know of such a thing maybe?

@Nead@social.vivaldi.net If it helps, I’m all out of whiskey and my boots are worn down to the sock.
One of my favorite things is to paste the CVS store brand generic link to vitamins on Insta wellness influencer reels in which they’re making wild claims about their expensive proprietary supplements. It fills me with joy.
I created a site on ghost.io for my partner’s HOA. After looking at the blog/newsletter offerings [gestures wildly] I figured they were a good choice. Mostly because @404mediaco@mastodon.social talked about their experience and I trust them. I hope Ghost recognizes how valuable it is to have their endorsement.
I have a tremendous idea for some Hollywood exec: A season of "Penn & Teller: Fool Us" that is just AI CEOs performing their #GAI tricks on stage and the hosts and audience get a chance to guess how they did it. That's quality entertainment.

I will concede, however, that they’ve been cracking down on kids going berserk on electric motorcycle lately. I’ll take what I can get.

I’m quite curious who Mozilla thinks uses their products. My patience has run out, folks. It’s time for a technology reckoning.
Sometimes I look at the interface I’ve created and think, hmm, where have I seen that before…
