@Tijn @catsalad you can’t pull up a seat on your phone while it calculates payroll for the entire DoD though.

Hacker kitty!

@Thayer that’s the reason I shave my head. The growing bald patch may also be a factor.

I’m going to laugh so hard if the thing that persuades CEOs to take climate change seriously is atmospherics levels of CO2 starting to encroach on the levels that impact productivity.

@fesshole goodness yes, it would be awful if she knew you were purposefully losing weight. Much better that she thinks you’re dying instead.

Rent, food.

Where do I report my local postman for cheating at wearing shorts in any weather, he’s got thermal trousers on underneath them.

@pikesley it was lovely seeing everyone, you’re an excellent bunch of people.

I have just spent two days straight being sociable, if anyone needs me I’ll be hiding out avoiding any sort of human contact for the next week.

Come on folks. At least *try* to entice me into this article I had the tiniest shred of interest in to begin with.

@fesshole so much to unpack here. Why does your girlfriend want 24/7 tracking of your location? Why do you think feeding pigeons is a terrible thing you must keep secret? Why will nobody just talk to each other?

@gsuberland it was called ~/.plan wasn’t it?

Gamers set up DNS for your servers challenge. Difficulty level: Impossible.

@vncresolver there’s a name I’ve not heard in a while.

How, in the year two thousand and twenty four, is it still so painful to template a configuration file from environment variables?

@skylar I just watched your EMF talk, it is easily the best one I've ever seen! On several occassions I gasped in amazement at what's going on during despatch, thank you for the talk, and thank you for doing a job you couldn’t pay me enough money to even consider doing.

@SecurityWriter its one of those phrases that I understand how it’s used, but whenever I think about the actual words has no meaning at all. Is it a new brand? Is it new, within the context of the brand on the box? What does it mean?

@hugh look, there’s a lot of dogs and noisy vehicles, and I’m obviously too big and stupid to run under a bush when they get too close. It’s only a matter of time before one of them eats me.

Whenever I encounter my son’s cat when out and about she meows at me incessantly until I guide her home. She’ll keep running up ahead, then turning around and checking I’m still there, so clearly knows the way.

This evening it occurred to me that her distress is that she’s found me wandering around in the wild lands and needs to take me to safety before something terrible happens.

Went to the shops over lunch to get toilet roll. Just realised I didn’t get toilet roll.

Property buying continues to crawl along, today after waiting weeks for a response to a query from my solicitors the other side inform me “the council require a fee for this information, which was paid yesterday”.

This is literally your whole job. How were you unaware there would be a fee that needed paying?

@gsuberland @0x47df is this a euphemism?

@sinvega I do so with noise cancelling headphones which support pass through so I get the noise from outside as well. Yes, I am aware how mad wearing headphones to hear outside noises is.
