I pretend to work in Infosec, which is really just a cover for "I want to get paid to read books about geopolitics and spy shit".

i think people with ADHD are often super good at OSINT because we spend our lives having to run forensic analytics on *ourselves* all the time, for stuff like "where did I leave the car keys two weeks ago"

Is having a custom MOTD that greets you whenever you log into a machine necessary? No.
Did I waste way too much time coming up with the sentence "Welcome to shell", and making it look good? Maybe.
Do I think it's the coolest thing I've done all day? Yes, absolutely.

Two regular residents got their friends to raise more than $17,000 to buy medical debt worth $1.6 million. Instead of cashing in on the debt, they forgave it, helping more than 1,700 Philadelphians.

A group of self-described "gutter-pagan, mostly queer dirtbags" erased $1.6 million in local medical debt. They celebrated with an unofficial debt burning.

For those among you running OpenSMTPD: it is currently _completely_ broken on Debian Stable (https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1037359). And it doesn't look like the fix will be merged.

Manually downgrading to the version from Oldstable works, but .. wow, that's bad.

I love when people ask me about work.

"How are you so good at this whole computer thing?"
"Remember growing up? You know, the whole lot - going out, having fun, parties, your first kiss and all that?"
"Yes! Of course!"
"I don't."

A screenshot from the website of "The New Yorker", showing their ad for a "flash sale", offering a subscription for $6. The screenshot includes a drawing of a stylized man crammed into an elevator. It looks fucking weird.

Whenever I see an illustration like this I want to talk to the management, and advise them to talk to their illustrators. Because they clearly aren't having a good time.

I had not, because my entire setup is built around Virtualbox, and I did not feel like rebuilding everything for a single virtual machine ..

.. which I ended up doing, opting for Hyper-V instead. Lo and behold, everything works like a charm. That was an exhausting afternoon. :)

As an exception, I need to run Linux with a full desktop in Virtualbox. Even with plenty of resources, the graphics performance is "stuttering when dragging windows"-bad.

Lots of searching revealed: apparently Wayland is not fully supported by Virtualbox yet.

2023 and Linux still hurts me.

What's a "Mum, come pick me up, I'm scared of fucking up that paintjob"-style called?

I'll be aiming for a weathered, cream stone look. Think Dark Angels Deathwing, with dark metal for railings, etc.

The terrain will be similar to Mars, looking forward to a "pigment on terrain"-debut. :)

I'm all for shopping local, I do it wherever I can. But there's simply no way for me to justify paying almost exactly twice the amount than Amazon. I hate it, I truly do. But .. yeah, Amazon it is.

I have no idea how I'm going to store it in my tiny flat, I have no friends that play tabletop games, yet alone Warhammer. But that doesn't matter. Storage anxiety is temporary, Fortress of Redemption is eternal.
