So, I and others are doing a little touchup on torrents for large items at the archive, and it's going to take a while to give them a little polish. In the meantime, if you see an item that you want me to generate a full torrent for, DM me. I'll get it in the list. (It takes a little time.)

LABYRINTH x CARAVAL

Normally I ignore threads like this- but this opportunity likely won’t be as perfect ever again. Last night I watched Excalibur

And you’re send me some yes?

New year, new inspiration! I want to retire a few items in my shop - and now is a good time to clear some stuff out.

For the first time ever, I'm running a sale on my entire Etsy shop! thegarbagefile.etsy.com

Here’s help for Apple+: next ad campaign for Silo

I am begging tech people to stop trying to solve human problems with purely technical solutions. Please, for the literal love of humanity, please solve human problems using human-first solutions that just happen to use tech as part of them.

I’ve often said if I could go back in time for employment I’d go to Bell Labs. So many innovations - and so many personal heroes were there…

For anyone interested in detection and prevention methods against Salt Typhoon intrusions targeting communication providers, here is a comprehensive guide:

So one of the most famous boxing matches of all time tonight (I don’t care, didn’t watch, don’t watch boxing)- and the things people will remember: Netflix crashed under the load, Mike Tyson showed his bare ass, Jake Paul only fights the elderly

Explosion in my lab. Raw picture, no photoshop or editing…

I made a mental note that I was egregiously aware that I have stopped perceiving ten years as a large amount of time , and that it now seems a relatively short amount of time … but I’m unaware of when that juxtaposition occurred or why honestly…
