@an0key for me, even before getting on some meds, knowing I have ADHD doesn’t necessarily make it easier but it does mean that I know what’s going on, which in turn means I’m gentler on myself when it causes problems. I spent most of my life being furious at myself that I couldn’t get my shit together, turns out there’s a reason for that.

I think I’ve fallen well truly down the Nix rabbit hole. I was reading a blog post earlier about enabling something on some other Linux distribution and spent the whole time thinking that it would have been a single config file on NixOS rather than editing half a dozen files and firing off a bunch of random executables while hoping nothing breaks halfway through.

I have spent so much money over the past week or so on buying things that aren’t quite right to fix my electrical problems. Some might say I should have done more research and planning, to which I reply SQUIRREL.

It looks like today is a three espresso day, thanks to some unexpected network engineering which touches on a whole section of the Linux network stack I don’t usually have to deal with.

@kunsi sadly I have lost my label printer so can’t label the box it’s buried in.

@jonathanhogg I feel like most people have one, maybe two, of those in them over a lifetime before the novelty wears off.

@fesshole I didn’t even know 4chan had employees.

@q I see you took that job Bezos was advertising for henchmen.

Who is the patron saint of email?

Saint Francis of A CC.

(Don’t @ me, I stand by my choices)

I’ve finally sorted out my heating in order to have a consistently warm flat so you can all thank me when summer comes early next week.

Companies running mailing lists, you’d have a way better chance of me not unsubscribing if you could resist emailing every single day just to remind me you exist.

I must know, was the Notepad RCE demonstrated by using it to launch Notepad?

I should also add I’ve had this switch for months. No idea what possessed me to try and put it on over lunch.

“I’ll quickly put this smart switch on my water heater over lunch”

Reader, my hot water system is currently held together by Wagos and controlled by turning that loop on and off at the breaker box due to a missing part in this puzzle, and being unable to get the old switch back on. I truly hate electrical work.

@jackeric @Edent Overcooked is deeply in the aggressive coop genre where technically you’re playing together but only the very strongest relationships will survive it.

Advertising is basically an intrusive thought that a company pays another company for you to have.

@gsuberland they’ve got to notify their 2,187 close partners of the update as well, and they’ve not been talking to a few of them for a while so they’ll have to find the right moment.

@akareilly 100% this. Yours, the person who caused catastrophic data loss by rebooting both Redis nodes in quick succession during an outage, which unexpectedly resulted in them both coming back up empty.

Should I have known that would happen? Probably. Should there have been some sort of warning anyway? Absolutely.

The bad news, it’ll cost £1,200 to repair. The good news, it’s entirely cosmetic damage and so doesn’t actually need repairing.

Things that weren’t on my todo list for today when I got up this morning: going to the Apple Store so they can make my work laptop less of a fire hazard.

To Apple’s credit this is the only damage I can detect from it being dropped on a concrete floor from about 4 feet up.

@eniko @catsalad I thought you meant this for a minute.

@wikihow no, that’s a carb shake. Easy mistake.

@agentGav @jonty I’m not sure there’s any vision here beyond trying to prop up his own personal valuation to avoid debts being called in.

@rachel oh, where’s the desk? I should be in the office which is right by Aldgate East station at some point within the next two months.
