Cant wait to dig into this bad boy

Why does being employed require being force fed Windows against my will?

I don’t remember windows being this bad, and its only been 7 months.

Bentley the Turtle from Sly 3 going OHHHHHH

My college dissertation is about the depictions and portrayals of disability in media (and some epic woke shenanigans), so it would be helpful to get some insight from ye epic disabled folks. Thanks

There’s no wrong lesson here.

Let's just push origin to main, and see what happens.
Regardless of what happens, we're certain to learn something about ourselves.

Quark chyron on the news with Quark speaking

News used to be better

do not ask yourself whether or art is good instead ask is it sincere was it cathartic was it fun to make is it made by me and don’t forget to stay silly

what an e-waste nightmare Cisco - great look for a “sustainable” company, eh?

FINALLY landed a job!

Back in telco again, a national US carrier, and they’ve made the grave mistake of putting ~me~ in a leadership role.

Not the role I expected, but one I think I’ll enjoy - stretch my wings a bit and see how it works out.

i adore this thing more than the surface studio i used to use, because its seen things. It’s got scars. trauma, even.

that and an unreasonable 64gb ddr4.

A terminal with pastel green asci art styled serif font text that says "Legit Salvage" over a dark purple and pale yellow starfield with the words "A Tycho Corp. Communications Network". A tiny ascii art MCRN Tycho / OPA Rocinante is flying through the lower case g of the word salvage with it's epstine burning hard toward the next adventure. To the right is a fastfetch output of my laptop who's hostname is Legit Salvage - named after the phrase Alex Kamal utters "Now listen here 'cap, this here is legitmate salvage!" to which Holden replies "I don't think the Martians will see it that way." Alex protests Holdens assertion - they found the Roci fair and square.

I ~found~ this laptop, and gave it the best name - especially if you're a fan of #TheExpanse.

I had this old dell for awhile now, but finally sat down to make an #asciiart logo for fastfetch as my MOTD.

drama in the <spins wheel> neovim community over <rolls dice> maintaining compatibility for the <throws bones> most important third party plugin

take it away, da paper!

smells like a driver issue - i had a similar issue with my setup (Arch, wayland, kde + nvidia gtx3060) where sometimes itd recover when swapping terminals and sometimes not - mostly on recovery from sleep.
make sure youre loading the right drivers and theres no bugs reported causing it.
what gpu?

just use signal, please!!

and a mechanical switch?! dang…

I’m so very sorry to hear that - I have had a similar experience with my grandfather. I hope you have many more days to spend together.

it’s pretty awesome to have shared passions with your father - my father didn’t understand when I was growing up, but encouraged me the best he knew how.
He was quite perturbed tho when i gutted a closet and ran my own power at 16 for my home lab - he got over that eventually.

Ok. I’m not a dev, I’m a network engineer - I just setup a self hosted repo with my own CI/CD pipeline for my streamer project

this shit is magic

Identity providers are just basically magic to me. I do not care to know how they work - just that they do.

Now, do my bidding kerberos.

archive.ph is something that people still don't know about

Do your part to educate others, everybody 👍😊👍

plan9/go enthusiasts really getting out of hand with the mascots these days

Reject modernity, return to protocols.
All it does is force vendor lock-in and abusive behavior.

I don’t have any doubt in my mind ✌️
