  Has Flock considered pivoting to being a dating site for cops?

  In the same way as I appreciate neighbors putting up Trump yard signs, I find it very valuable information when someone proclaims that they’re going back to Twitter.

  I can’t express how saddened I am to learn that the Russian bot farm destruction did not, in fact, fix the internet. I may need to take the afternoon off.

  I’ve got my generator ready to run. My battery banks are charged to 100%. The extension cords are deployed. I’m ready for Southern California Edison Public Safety Power Shutoff Season!

  We should probably work on that certificate revocation problem again next quarter. Seems like it would be useful.

  I’ll bet both Apple Arcade users are pretty stoked about the new features.

  I must admit, Microsoft® forcing users to install Microsoft® Outlook™ on their phones in order to get second-factor codes for Microsoft® Entra™ login is pretty brilliant. Honestly though, I think requiring Microsoft® GitHub® tokens so that Microsoft® JavaScript® transpiles successfully is just a step too far.

  I’m receiving tons of political flyers in the mailbox today. Today! I guess better late than never.

  I’m 55 today. I know. I don’t believe it myself! I’m gonna go run 55 football fields and beg for Strava kudos.

  Really? You guys were still using Proton? We all left last year. You know, because of the Nazi stuff.

  One of my favorite things is to paste the CVS store brand generic link to vitamins on Insta wellness influencer reels in which they’re making wild claims about their expensive proprietary supplements. It fills me with joy.

  I have a tremendous idea for some Hollywood exec: A season of "Penn & Teller: Fool Us" that is just AI CEOs performing their #GAI tricks on stage and the hosts and audience get a chance to guess how they did it. That's quality entertainment.

  I’m stuck at a gate waiting for a connecting flight in Denver. Several hours delay so far due to weather. Ask me anything.

  I get a burger at The Habit just infrequently enough to forget that they hate their customers and serve Pepsi products. Touché, The Habit. Touché.

  What's the best Torrent index to download TV shows and movies for training my model? I assure you, this is covered by fair use. Trust me. Sure, I realize I've told this dumb joke multiple times. But since I'm subjected to the dumb news, I feel compelled to repeat it. Dumbly.

  I’m quite curious who Mozilla thinks uses their products. My patience has run out, folks. It’s time for a technology reckoning.

  I created a site on ghost.io for my partner’s HOA. After looking at the blog/newsletter offerings [gestures wildly] I figured they were a good choice. Mostly because @404mediaco@mastodon.social talked about their experience and I trust them. I hope Ghost recognizes how valuable it is to have their endorsement.

  It's so strange that the local Sheriff email alerts regularly announce arrests for drug/weapons charges, various assaults, and shoplifting/burglary. I've never seen boasting about any white-collar crimes like wage theft and investment fraud. So strange.

  I’ve run my own mail server since ‘98. Always Postfix, and later with Dovecot and OpenLDAP for virtual domains and mailboxes. It’s coming time to rebuild it once again because the CentOS version went EOL a while back. Sure, my IaC is all in Terragrunt and Ansible, so in theory I could stand up a new instance with too much toil. But should I? I’m thinking of migrating to a Fastmail Standard Business plan. Hopefully an API exists to import my 600+ email aliases. It would be optimal if they offered...

  As someone who reluctantly provides desktop technical support to friends and family, I cannot more fully encourage OS vendors to add restrictions to prevent users from executing click-fix attacks.

  RE: https://mastodon.social/@blogdiva/116910113050364181 How does one get their city added to this list? What an amazing service. I can’t wait to experience a full MAGA boycott.

  I put in a new controller and drip system this week. Digging 50’ of trench in clay with roots was no fun. But I’m pretty pleased with how it came out.

  I would like to run my own gist-style service. For snippets and whatnot. Maybe something that uses Codeberg under the hood. Maybe you know of such a thing maybe?

  I would pay for a version of Bitwarden that integrated with the web browser properly. I mean, sure, I already have an enterprise subscription, but apparently using passwords with in a web browser isn't a supported use case.

  I was gifted some Apollo hot sauce a while back. It’s insanely hot, even for me as someone who likes that sort of thing. A couple drops is plenty for a whole bowl of chili. The product ought to be called Totally Irresponsible.

  Kids these days don't appreciate that when my generation started using computers, it was common for the bytes read back to differ from the bytes written. Sometimes by a lot. In very important ways. But it was still magical and all we wanted to spend our time fiddling with.

  Sometimes I look at the interface I’ve created and think, hmm, where have I seen that before… https://youtu.be/LyUN40weqIk?si=WbMVdKboOhYjetaY
