I can't wait until these compute cards hit the used market and I can build an insane password cracking rig for cheap.

Docker is such an annoying abstraction layer. Maybe we should actually be thinking more about how our infrastructure works instead of spinning up two dozen docker containers all running some mystery configs that you KNOW 99% of users aren't reviewing...

I saw a typo in a writeup I did a few weeks ago and decided to just leave it, as an artifact of my humanity.

While the machines seek perfection I'll continue to be flawed.

Sounds fun but that is absolutely NOT my specialty. Networking harvests the largest amount of tears I produce annually.

Yuuup it's annoying as heck. But hey, better than a windows reinstall. I'll gladly troubleshoot and repair my linux install rather than blow it all out and migrate /home.

Are you talking about observation duty and the like?

Honestly, for what amounts to a creepy seek and find but you gaslight yourself it's a pretty solid gameplay loop.

Holy fuck this is so cringe. How do the owners of social media sites continue to be insufferable losers?

If I didn't have an HOA I would install a hella-sick bourbon street style lamp post in the middle of my yard.

Here's a 64x64 monochrome lamp for today's #pixel_dailies @pixeldailies.bsky.social

a 64x64 green monochrome pixel art of a hanging dome lamp attached to a brick wall. The lamp arm curves downwards towards the half-globe lamp. The lamp is casting a bright green light below itself

One of the very big reason autism diagnoses became more common in the last few decades is that doctors finally realized that women can be autistic.

Imagine that, literally doubling the population of people who could be diagnosed, increased number of diagnoses. Who would have even thought.
