It's the first Monday of the month, which is a great time to document the under- or never- documented software or process in your life

babe wake up, new example.com just dropped

It changed around October 9. The text is new after being the same for over 10 years. Can anyone tell me why?

(And if someone wants to introduce me to whomever at IANA maintains example.com that would be rad because I have so many more questions.)

@opalstack.com are brilliant. I wish they had a larger presence here.

If you are a lone developer or a large company needing managed webhosting OpalStack are the people to use.

Their technical support is unequalled.

It's the first day of the month, which is a great time to document something undocumented by making a new README file with my checklist.

A meager pink orange sunbeam illuminates the bottom of a single cloud in a sky full of grey storm clouds above a desert landscape after a thunderstorm, lush green weed growth is visible in the foreground.

Happy #SysadminDay fellow #sysadmins, now get the fuck back to work.

Orange sunlit clouds hang high in a dusky blue sky with a small grey cloud in the foreground at right, all above the silhouette of desert foothills at sunset.

What is wrong with giving a new leader a chance? A new approach, a fresh approach. Someone who has integrity, leadership skills, represents a key state, has guts and the confidence of the base. Time to put ego aside and screw seniority. This is my nominee.

Tonight's clouds at dusk

A small dune of blow sand with a few footprints. A tire track crosses the dune at the far end.

SHAIIII HULUUUUUD #dunes

still howling down here :(

Good morning #NewMexico :/

A cross stitch design in light green on a black background, framed with a tan oval embroidery hoop. The stitching shows a very recognizable ox-drawn covered wagon from the "you have died" messages in the computer game Oregon Trail, with the text "You listened to RFK".

hard to say, I can’t see anything because of the dust

A collection of indivdually packages Hot Wheels miniature cars. Each package is a card with a plastic blister containing the car. The cards are bright blue with a red swoosh containing the words “HOT WHEELS” in yellow letters, with a stylized picture of the car appearing beneath the logo. The packages are arranged overlapping each other roughly in a 1-2-3 pyramid formation. The cars are: a pink donut with turquoise wheels; a double-decker bus, beige on bottom and red on top; a black 2018 Dodge Challenger; a green off-road van labeled “Baja Bison”; a blue van with colorful block graphics and red wheels; a low slung grey race car with red stripes and the numeral 9 on the hood.

Now, the USPS is preparing to push back as Trump moves to dissolve its leadership and bring the independent agency under his administration’s control. America, this cannot be allowed—protecting the USPS is essential.

Please share this and call Congress.

🚨NEW: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is planning to fire Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff C.Q. Brown, a 4-Star General and 41-year veteran of the Air Force who flew over 130 hours in combat as a fighter pilot.

REPOST if you stand with General C.Q. Brown against Hegseth!

Unbelievable value really, this is the CLT-20S priced way south of $200. Solid spruce top, fit and finish seem fine (maybe a tiny bit of glue visible in a couple of spots), and it sounds great. Even with a hard case and international shipping this was competitive with US retailers.

A 4-stringed tenor guitar laying on a tortilla-print blanket. The guitar body is light colored spruce with a black pick guard below the sound hole. The neck and headstock are dark wood, the headstock bears the initials “HB”.

My new coping mechanism is this lovely Harley Benton 4-string tenor guitar from Thomann.

I'm not a great musician, but I love playing and the resonance of an instrument against my body soothes my soul :)
