Apropos of nothing, someone needs to make “Welcome to the Resilience” tshirts.

My mouse is hovering over the “Buy Now” button on the Bambu Black Friday presale.

I’ve thought about one for our smoker. It’s on the windward side of the house so winter bbq is always harder.

It’s a good series. Even if it’s a hellish landscape from which great, horrible things occurred, at least they had hope.

Loved the miners’ “get fucked, we’ll do it ourselves” attitude.

Nice! I really liked Sugar, Salt, Acid, Heat. IIRC, there was a four part series on Netflix.

So you’re going to taunt us with this factoid and not show us a photo of your (presumably) massive cookbook library?

That’s just mean! 😂

I keep connections to certain people so I know which companies they’re at. That way I know never to work for that company while they are still there.

Kinda happened in the Hadoop ecosystem as well. At a certain point it reaches commercial saturation and the main vendor in the space takes over the discourse.

I think Linux has done a good job resisting this trend purely because of Linus giving no fucks.

I have walked through a data center with 2” of water flowing across the floor where all the electrical runs were so I could get in and turn off equipment.

Stupid in retrospect. But you do what you gotta do.

Also: powerless DCs are deathly quiet.

If that’s not the best physical manifestation of the “First you find three envelopes” joke, I don’t know what is.

JNS?

Like DNS, only you get to talk about Jerry’s shitposting in the form of a haiku.

Someone made a comment at work today asking how I’d handle something and my response was “first you find three envelopes …”

There was awkward silence.

Ngl … I missed that this was an onion article and my first thought was, “Yeah, that tracks.”

Shutoff is probably by your pressure tank.

Make sure they know the well reset sequence by your capacitor/solenoid box.

We learned this one the hard way.

I misread that as SCO and thought: yeah, that tracks. Insurance would still be using the POS distro.

(On the plus side, when the world goes to shit, I’ve got a mountain top compound to enjoy …)

I live on a mountain top above 8000 feet. My internet is a wifi link that shoots across the valley to a tower a few miles away. My backup is Starlink.

If I lose a deal because my audio blips, maybe that deal was never meant to be.

Like the Verizon guy says: CAN YOU HEAR ME NOW?!

Wait till you measure all the shitty power bricks that are just constantly drawing low order amounts of electricity.

Me, saddling up to the Costco roast chicken counter this morning.

It did not go well for the other guy. I ended up with three chickens.

Please buy it, build it, and make him take horrified selfies with it.

Hang on while I mix up some chill samba jazz with some Dropkick Murphys.

I call it ... Boston Nova.
