At 12 hours in, the judgement of the humans involved in this Microsoft thing is going to be quite cloudy and muddled, IMHO. i.e. your brain starts getting fuzzy and muddled and you're exhausted, thus making it that much less likely you will fix the issue. 😬

Acast, the podcast hosting company, released Podcast Pulse 2025 with some remarkable findings.

what if i put st. peter's chugga chugga choo choo over here on my wall and started calling myself a "steampunk goth"

There's an entire shadow industry dedicated to the cars that exist to be shown in THE FUTURE sections of children's encyclopedias and then never seen again

@foone I don't fully understand what your idea is, would you mind explaining it to me?

I know it has something to do with the eMudhra incident and you basically want to look for more vulnerable certificates?

@greylinux There's a very comprehensive list here https://www.netbsd.org/community/

In particular, the unitedbsd forum has quite good stuff in it

Hey, lets not feed real art into AI, I actually will challange you here, learn Blender, and create something like this yourself.

@wohali As I recall, this was basically his wife findoming him, so he would sign blank canvases which were then given to other artists who could imitate his style

But I can't remember which artist. I heard this story about, someone who is alive in the 20th century

Is this an inconvenient moment to point out Microsoft has shed almost 36% of its workforce in two years?

@moz Oh, that's VERY intentional. I can't work in a crammed space like that.

It's not about fitting as much in there as possible. It's about fitting what I have in there _in a way that lets me use it_, preferably leaving some room for growth _without_ tripping into "I can't work here" space again.

The term 'honey trap' suggests that a woman is a seductress and a man has no control over himself. It is scapegoating: Powerful men keep their reputation for rationality while some snake of a woman takes the blame for their lapses of judgment.

@ai6yr @grammargirl 1986? that's the same year @irene was born! and she regularly walks multiple cats on a leash... coincidence? I THINK NOT.

@ai6yr having worked on systems like this, it can be remarkably difficult to understand their state. They've typically got many thousands of person-years put into their creation and understanding the full stack is not possible within a single human lifetime.

You depend on abstraction layers, alerting systems, and runbooks, and when those fail, it can be really thorny to fix things. Especially once many of the people who created the system have left and you've lost a lot of the institutional memory of how it was built.

I was very excited to see what an English Salsa was. Turns out it’s Worcestershire sauce

“It’s like herding cats” feels like it should be ancient, but lexicographer Jeremy Butterfield says the OED’s first record of it is from 1986. It’s a US coinage, and it caught on fast because it’s so useful.

Jeremy’s new book is “The Metaphor Zoo.”

I suppose that I can mention this now, given the main author has posted about it publicly.

This book will be released in May 2027 and features nearly a hundred of my photos 😊
