Right now, a literal robot is retrieving a literal magnetic tape that (hopefully) has some recordings of old NZ punk shows and old albums on it. The robot will stick the tape into a drive, where a very long sequential read will begin, until these deep cuts are located. What a world.

It finally happened! It turns out I *DID* need to keep that Glacier archive from 2013 around for a rainy day.

IM NOT CRYING YOURE CRYING I JUST LOVE SPACE

NASA should probably just be in charge of all technology going forward.

Look, I know everything is a shit show down here, but right now orbiting around the earth is a team of astronauts, literally trouble shooting a toilet before they can go to the moon. This live stream brings me joy #artemis

Who would have thought that tariffing all our allies over a lie, threatening their sovereignty, calling them names, proclaiming us the greatest and saying they aren't doing anything, and then starting a war of aggression could result in this!

I’m sorry but what did libertarians think that the anonymous money laundering racism coin that you could only functionally use for illicit activity was doing other than this, exactly

All of this is fucking senseless. Minnesota did not have an immigration problem. Trump sent his Nazi thugs here because he's racist against Somali people and to own libs like Tim Walz. Now two Minnesotans are dead and Minneapolis is on the verge of going up in flames. None. Of. This. Was. Necessary.

This chart made our whole team cheer. 👏 Turn on shielding → watch your origin traffic flatten into a smooth, optimized dream. That’s exactly what happened for the @rustfoundation.org when they enabled shielding on Fastly Compute. The before/after? VERY satisfying. #FastForward

Fallout Season 2 Filming Halted Due to LA Fires - IGN

The new season of Fallout has been halted after wildfires spread throughout Los Angeles, impacting many different TV productions.

People outside of LA truly don’t understand how apocalyptic this is. It’s worse than it’s ever been. Entire residential neighborhoods are burning to the ground.

AI data centers are multiplying across the U.S. and sucking up huge amounts of power. New evidence shows they may also be distorting the normal flow of electricity for millions of Americans

AI Needs So Much Power, It’s Making Yours Worse

There’s a strong link between proximity to AI data centers and higher levels of distorted power in residential areas

I can’t stop thinking about Doechii and the total masterclass she gave on Tiny Desk. Her band too, holy shit. What a groove. www.npr.org/2024/12/06/g...

The Grammy-nominated rapper moved throughout her Tiny Desk with purpose — knowing exactly what she wanted and how to achieve it.

I am ok, but I did just find myself eating cold baked beans directly out of the can and enjoying glow of the refrigerator light.

It’s time to start the goodbyes, I’m leaving Fastly in January. So proud of all the teams I have led at Fastly. We built some rad tech. What a crew! I’m taking a break, but I’m open to talk about how I can help grow & scale engineering orgs. Just holler - we’ll start scheming & dreaming.

I got a Covid booster shot. Hells bells, it’s laid me out for two days now! Fever, body aches, swollen lymph nodes. It’s incredible technology with minimal social skills. It just walks in starts a brawl.

how do you all remember every UUID? I find it really hard. so I wrote them all down on every uuid dot com the list has fast search across all 2^122 values (so you can find your favorites) - hoping to add some social features like "trending UUIDs" soon!

Started the ski season today. Huck yeah! This season I’m excited to be joining Achieve Tahoe as a volunteer ski instructor. It’s going to be a blast to be a small part of making outdoor recreation more accessible to people with disabilities. Let’s ski!

That worm needs to finish the job.

I’m basically a blood bag for the post snow melt mosquitoes, but I’ve made peace with that donation. I’m racking and stacking the miles for July. Tracking well toward 130 miles of ground
