There must be a german word for that mournful feeling you have when you realize that all the ideas you have that feel so great in the moment you’ll never be able to accomplish them all.

when you rework the same slide for the 20th time because there wasn’t enough observability.

Other companies said it was daft to build a scanner into a computer, but I built it all the same, just to show ‘em. It jammed all the time. So I built a second one. That also jammed. So I built a third one. That froze the computer, caught on fire, and jammed. But the fourth one worked!

I was there when analog telephones and ethernet converged… Voice and data, together at last. Packets prioritized from end to end. SCCP, MGCP, and SIP were the rulers of the land, and it was good.

Finding that one metric fastener in a never ending sea of imperial bolts is punishment for the attempt.

We need to bring back the hatchback. The people don't want sedans. They don't want stationwagons. They don't want SUVs and crossovers. They want indestructible sporty little hatchbacks with carrying capacity that feels like a bag of holding.

Cheeky is just being clever, but bent with a small degree of malevolence.

This is the most brain dead shit I’ve heard of. Almost as brain dead as the anti-maskers. Get outta here with that shit - if i don’t want to have my nerves rattles by the cacophony of traffic - thats my business. Fuck you. My nerves, my headphones. mind your fuckin business.

You’re fucking well right I’m blocking out the music of humanity. I mean, have you heard those pricks?

jfc - can social media CEOs just stfu already? This is precisely why we can’t have nice things. I’m tired of the manipulation of all the things we now use to find common ground with others. I forget theres no profit in letting users do what they want without coercion.

Bluesky's new CEO Toni Schneider on the platform's reputation for being a liberal bubble: "Yes, we definitely want that to change. It is already changing. It certainly wasn’t designed to attract one specific group of people."

Not out of the woods, but Flynn is back to being a cat 🤞🏼🧡

Here we are at the emergency vet again - Flynn, is 18 years old and hasn’t eaten in 24 hours now. Hopefully we’ll find out whats up soon.

Daren the Lion from the Infamous D.A.R.E program served his time and he's BACK! With the new Font & Logo Generator based on everyone's favorite Drug Abuse Resistance Education program from the 90's:

So uhh I have multiple pairs of these USB rechargeable hand warmers that just got recalled for fire and burn hazards that killed someone and some of you might too

“Observability”

Americans really do their best to just repress the intrusive thoughts that make them feel bad. Acknowledging them out loud often gets you socially ostracized.

One of my Crank Theories of Everything, at least of Everything in the Recent Past, is that we are dealing (badly) with COVID trauma we’d mostly prefer to pretend never happened.

I wish this even applied. No standard was followed. Vendors just be makin shit up for the hell of it, I guess. Why do that though? Feels like more work to just invent your own log standard whole cloth.

Parsing logs has taught me that RFCs aren't real, and I should never expect them to be followed. Love that.

I started doing this in my messages and emails professionally - I want people to know that - I - am sending them a message, and that -I- use my own voice.

I 100% have not changed a single goddamn thing about how I write here in the age of "AI." I write how I write. If the "AI" writes anything like how I write, it's because it stole from me. I'm gonna use any punctuation I like, and if it looks "AI"ish to you, you can go fuck yourself.

I am so tired of hearing the president dead name trans women whose only crime was being seen in a beer commercial.

*opens cereal box* Welcome to the new agentic cereal experience! Just ask any … *throws out cereal and goes on to tell everyone around me what cereal to avoid*

i was choking on an ice cube i accidentally swallowed whole but then it melted a little and i was fine

Please, for the love of GOD take me back to the time where I can roll my eyes during meetings the phrase "Single-Pane-of-Glass" - I miss those days. Now it's "AI powered ObSeRvAbIlItY". Please - shoot me in the head now, why don't you. End my suffering.

OpenAI allowing their robot to hack HuggingFace reminds me of a bunch of blackhats on IRC egging on a 14 year old to hack something to be cool and then denying any involvement when they get caught. They could have stopped it, but they chose not to. This is 1990 for AI security.
