The Jolly Roger flag

Apparently some folks are playing real dumb about skull symbols so let’s play a little game I like to call “Nazi skull or not a Nazi skull”

First up, the Jolly Roger. This is a pirate skull, not a Nazi skull. It means you might get robbed, but prolly not genocided.

With me so far? 1/x

“I’m pleased with the response “. But you just said it wrote some shitty code? Why would you be happy with that?

I hope it is “Upside Down”.

Found an old folder of Sun stuff, including my offer letter. Weirdest thing I kept was probably this piece of paper. I don’t think Sun got their moneys worth on this one. We used Veritas Volume Manager on Sun HA/Sun Cluster.

Hooray! That hit he took was brutal.

A bit shout-out to @super-deluxe.bsky.social . Not only is the site informative and has blu-rays no one else does, but can save you money. With shipping+import fees, Amazon FR comes in at $149 with a bit of delay to get here. I can wait.

did he play a show without backflips

As someone who served in the National Guard, the replies are depressing. Most service members signed up because the military can be a springboard for social mobility. And you can’t just “quit” that easy. You are required to follow all “lawful orders.” What is “lawful” is not subject to your opinion.

10? 15? years later that website still lives rent free in my head.

Anyone know of a honeypot I can send traffic to? I just have some moron wordpress script kiddie that would probably be happy to provide you with data for all your security needs.

You can tell it was almost instinct. And Boyle clearly felt bad about it afterwards 😀

FYI: debian bookworm-updates breaks SSL with libssl / openssl 3.0.17 packages. If you have weird things going on, look there.

A new analysis projects a 24% cut to Social Security benefits by late 2032. Trump's "big, beautiful bill" will cause sharp cuts to Social Security by late 2032, a new analysis says.

Social Security recipients are set to face an $18,000 benefit cut in just seven years.

I wonder if there is an Airflow DAG for investigating your CEO.

"No streaming updates available"

Dear Circle CI.

I don't care. Stop spamming your UI with this big ass window telling me how to make them available. MAKE IT STOP.

Your buddy,

Me.

Twitch has been showing re-runs of Pee-Wee's Playhouse. I forgot how wonderfully it hid the adult humor even in kid's show.

Ricardo: "I made Miss Yvonne a diary to keep her secrets!"
Yvonne: "I made Ricardo a log book to keep track of every time he scores" (pregnant pause) "in a game!"

who cares if it breaks the internet lol

Everyone's career goal should be the creator of the next leftpad.

I get more spam than things I care about on my @apache.org email address and have for a very long time. I mostly quit paying attention to it as a result.

If you put your GPL3 code on GitHub and then merge in other people’s code, you CANNOT relicense to include the project in your own non-GPL work without a license change from those other contributors.

It is Bandcamp Friday which is a great help for us little labels.
I have around 50 copies of the 'Waiting For The Sun' 12" left for just £14.99 today.
Will be in post next day for you.
Digital track not released till July 25th.
Lot of very cool DJ support on this one.

Copilot is so bad. I'm sort of surprised that Microsoft is even showing it to people outside the company.

I don’t know if I can express enough how frustrating Google Dataflow and Apache Beam are. Oh, you want to do something trivial like write log information at different levels? Too bad.
