Hmm, I was about to stand up and cook dinner.

I can tell when my 16yo has been at my house when I'm not there. Our digital piano is turned on. He can't resist playing a piano.

@jason @vie@hachyderm.io @theotherbrook@sunny.garden When I started my CS degree ~30 years ago (Which I did because I enjoy programming and working with computers), the first year was huge due to all the people seeing programming as good money. Most of those people didn't make it to into second year, and even fewer into third year. My understanding is the intake started to drop shortly after I finished.

@arstechnica@mastodon.social This may be a crazy idea, but how about we employ enough medical practitioners that they have enough time to take notes.

@georgepenney@sunny.garden meditating in the hardware store? Sounds tempting, but probably a tad noisy.

@voltagex I quite liked this Real Juice Media ad from the NZ Government. "National, putting the n back in cuts". https://youtu.be/h-yjkAXxnMA?si=YYLm_IXz0Ayt2VjJ

@catsalad@infosec.exchange I am continually thankful that I rarely use Teams, Zoom or Meet. I never use Jira or Salesforce.

@praxeology@post.lurk.org I always turn off email and chat notifications. Don't want them, I'll check when I'm ready.

@wrmsr dammit, I'd better rethink one of my presents.

@Her_Doing Radia Perlman gave a keynote at linux.conf.au 2013 and it was excellent! She is a very interesting person.

Don't mind me, just downgrading one of my boxes from Debian Forky to Debian Trixie. (my virtualisation platform doesn't support systemd and Forky makes it much harder to not use systemd. I need to change that, but it requires a reboot, so...)

@pmcneil@aus.social @hsza@social.tudbut.de @ryan@m29.us As Debian are using Anubis, it makes me wonder if she could wear a t-shirt with the Deian logo. :)

@Pygoscelisadeliae@layer8.space @nixCraft@mastodon.social I had to have that conversation with my teenage daughter last year. You know the one. Password strength and not sharing passwords.

@nixCraft@mastodon.social you missed one. "Don't share passwords"

@solrize@mathstodon.xyz @johncarlosbaez@mathstodon.xyz The article also says the facility is closed to everyone except emergency personnel. :)

@corbet@social.kernel.org @LWN@fosstodon.org I was very happy to be a human packet during Dave's Linux.conf.au '20 talk during the live (as in with people as packets) demonstration of bufferbloat and how different algorithms help. He was a wonderful person.
