I'm experiencing an existential crisis right now. Can someone confirm I'm actually a bag of meat and not in fact some electrified silicon?

Note to self: when sending an email encrypted with someones public PGP key save a plain copy for just in case it bounces and you need to send it again.
As soon as we solved scalability on our signup page we can have our first Overengineer Anonymous meeting. Watch this space. Couple of days tops!
To login to ovpay.nl I need to provide a username, password and a second factor code send to my email. To reset my password I also need to provide a code send to my email. This is *not* a second factor. IT IS SINGLE FACTOR TWICE!

Oh, and the smell of burned banana peel also wears of after 12 hours. So there's that...

@Aknorals@mastodon.social Actually, that was the first thing we tried. At some point we where able to scan it. But it 'expired'. ;)

@RainofTerra@terra.incognita.net Here. I updated Kernighan's law to 2026 for you.
Debugging is twice as hard as writing the code in the first place. Therefore, if you write 10 times as much code with your LLM as you normally would have, you have, by definition, not enough time to debug it.

@aamurusko79@tech.lgbt This was done on an xtool as well. Not mine sadly, I don't think its in the price range I'm willing to pay for it. But so far it seems to be a really nice machine.

@samfirke@a2mi.social It doesn't, but a not-to-focussed laser beam is still enough to scortch a banana. Or are you talking about the curve in the letters? That's just pre processing of the vector image.

@jelu@mastodon.social Sadly no police involvement. That would be the only thing making this night better!
One little girl asked me "is this even save?" to which I had to answer "very much not so! Want to push the button?" without skipping a beat she yelled "YES!"
So that's the story of how I adopted an extra kid. 😻

@b0rk@social.jvns.ca Sounds like fun! Some years ago I wrote a DNS server for the ESP8266 microcontroller called ICBIND. Which did not have enough memory available to store the entire zone file and work out the compression pointers. I had to do some interesting hacks to serve my zone anyway. Loads of fun! https://github.com/yschaeff/ICantBelieveItsNotDNS
For my 'agentic AI' loving colleagues (shivers), in preperation for April fools, I will sneak a .CLAUDE.md in to the git repository. I think I will instruct it to, anytime it asks permission, add the phrase "What would @yschaeff@fosstodon.org do?"
Someone other than me cared enough AND figured out how to adjust the microwave clock after a power outage and I cannot express how proud I am at this anonymous benevolent housemate.
Dear Ethernet nerds, Last Sunday our Unify router went belly up at 04:00:00 exactly (no logs indicating something weird). But at the same time my 2 servers where unreachable and complaining about failing DNS resolution. Is it thinkable the Router was in such a deplorable state that it kept the (costumer grade) Switch busy?
STOP with what you are doing! I just made an _important_ scientific breakthrough.That bag of crisps that is still good but got soggy? Do not throw it away, but toss it in the oven for a couple of minutes. It will be as good as new. Or better than new! Warm+salty+fatty > cold+salty+fatty.
Every 11th of November kids go around the neighborhood with their lanterns to sing and collect candy. This year I'm fighting fire with fire. Every kid, and a dad or two, was allowed to pull the trigger. Never ran through the candy quite this fast!
So we limit the number of words patients can submit in a message to their doctor. If you need that many words you should book a consult. Patients *can* however put their epistle in a pdf and attach that to the message. And they do.
TIL: Not all Dutch citizens have a offical birthdate. Some have just a year. That surely messes up my automated insurance check.
@jpmens@mastodon.social Yes therefore I used 'suspect'. I expect that once in a while your agent requires a password to unlock so measure over a month or so. If you don't have at least 1 slow login we are going to have a talk.
Not only can I scratch try making Coriander ice-cream of my bucket list, I can add it straight to the do-it-again list!

@jelu@mastodon.social Yes! And it is surprisingly easy. Though it involves staying awake until 23:59 so it gets harder as you age.

@DrewKadel@social.coop I tried to introduce the term "Artificial Intuition" (AI) but SV wouldn't have it.
