Ghost Without A Shell

Turns out nginx's "total time spent processing request" can be *less than* "time spent waiting on upstream server"... because both metrics calculate "time" using different OS mechanisms, with differing accuracies. Amazing.

Fucking computers were a mistake.

Also I now see why this thing was £70. It's enormous.

Being a real boy is so last year.

Instead, become a virtual boy in *this* year, which is 1995 still somehow!

... except for where the actual games aren't out until 17th, and as the thing has arrived three days early I can't use it yet. Ugh.

My main hope for the sequel to the F1 movie is that they call it F2 and all the cars are thus slower and smaller and that this is never explained and general audiences are confused.

And then the next one's called F3.

And the next next one, FFord.

The Benjamin Button of car movie franchises.

Rep. Balint: This is not a game, Secretary.

Bondi: I'm Attorney General.

Balint: Apologies, I couldn't tell.

"Killing hot", the sauce on the cuban sando I just got from Greenwich Market was advertised as. They poured it out of a glass skull-shaped bottle, very scary. And yet I remain alive, a whole hour later. I may have to go demand a refund.

If Wonder Man doesn't get a season 2, or become some form of ongoing presence at any rate, it'll be a crime

give Obama a comedy show -- the Barack Roast Hour -- or something. It's not "beneath the office of the President," Barry. Look at what's happening right now.

Must thank you for reminding me he exists, which then reminded me of the time Ethan Klein and Sam Seder played a little trick on him, as stunningly (and realistically) recreated here www.youtube.com/watch?v=ufJN...

Ordered a tiny syringe of thermal paste from @overclockers.bsky.social and even for this tiny order they still included a wee bag of Haribo #thisisliving

What's this? Oh no big deal just making http requests inside Lua within nginx so as it's proxying it can validate incoming JWTs for my "subscribe to our site" feature and upstream web backends can just get told "include/don't premium content" via a custom header.

Sometimes computer are cool.

Because look, if we are in agreement that the problem is the people in power, and that we need to get them out, then what we need to do is make sure everyone is excited to vote.

They are so excited they will walk over broken glass to vote.

Teach them about shoes. Don't just point out the glass.

Distracted from exciting prospect of bitcoin crashing out by news of John Virgo becoming permanently snookered :(

Dearest notepad.exe, if I wanted fucking formatting in my text, or stupid macros that convert "..." into a single unicode ellipsis character, I'd use goddamn Wordpad or something (assuming that even still exists). GTFO with this bullshit. Just be notepad.exe.

It's just a bit nuts how much great stuff the MCU has done with Trevor Slattery. A widely disliked misdirect/switcheroo turned into just a brilliant little oddball character that gets so many great moments.

A downy woodpecker sits on a spruce on a sunny winter day. "Ahh... Febuary" it says. Close up on it correcting "Febrary" then "Febberary..." then finally "Frebrury"

First Super Mario Wonder was wonderful, and now Marvel's Wonder Man is wonderful. Is it a legal obligation of wonderful things to have "wonder" in the title, or does using "wonder" in the title confer the wonder?

TL;DR Wonder Man is really great.

Epstein having met m00t, of "creator of 4chan" fame, and possibly having been an influence on the creation of /pol/, the board that birthed QAnon, was very not on my bingo card. Strange things are happening, I think I'm going round the twist.

> Sadly, I couldn't join Sanja for Bubblegun this week

Having actually listened to a few episodes now I'm starting to see a pattern here 🤣

Reminder: "the rhetoric" in this case, was Renee Good saying, "I'm not mad at you bro."

For Jim Moir/Vic Reeves' birthday, a reminder it's thirty years this year since this advert.

UK holds off joining Trump's peace board over Putin concerns Foreign Secretary Yvette Cooper says the Russian president has shown no commitment to peace in Ukraine.

Perhaps, instead, we should hold off joining because the UN already exists and this "Board of Peace" is clearly absolute nonsense?
