Watching Star Wars Episode Boo: Attack of the Clones. So many things to dislike.

Every scene of Padme and Anakin is just unwatchable. There’s as much romance as a couple pieces of damp cardboard. I just have to skip them.

I just realised a behavior that pervasive #security code scanning induces in me. We have a big, shared corporate repo for all company code. We've begun doing really aggressive, continuous scanning and cutting tickets to people on vulnerable code, even if it's not in production or in use.

I get […]

This season reminds me of a time when I was doing #cybersecurity for a financial firm in London. The firm goes into "code freeze" in the first or second week of December until January to minimize the possibility of problems during the holidays.

I was doing #security architecture analysis on an […]

I think I should print some of these to stick them on bottles of gummies.

Character encoding is hard. Running on Paco's computer is hard, too. I'm sure I've got some weird font or graphics setting that makes #gimp 's life miserable.

Anyways, I upgraded to 園園園園< so it's all better now.

One day I realised: I have favourite socks. I don’t know when that happened. But suddenly there they were. I don’t know why I have favourite socks. But I do.

I’m not sure what kind of gummy I had tonight. But apparently it was about 78% sarcasm and 18% snark.

Day 4! We're more than half way there for #monsterdonsaveschristmas!

Today we raised another $438.75! Not quite as good as yesterday, but there's still 3 days left to crank it up!

On a better note we added The Trevor Project to the list of charities getting […]

RE: https://techhub.social/@infoq/115739861163309772

This is the state we are in now. People write for writing’s sake, not for readers. I got about 2 pages in. The whole time I’m yelling in my head “citation needed!”

They make a ton of vapid assertions backed by nothing. Neither footnoted nor […]

Like any normal #homeautomation enthusiast I just happened to have an ESP32 and a 4 amp 5V power supply laying around. So I bought a couple more strands of WS2811 lights, flashed #WLED on it,and poof! second holiday tree is lit.

Here’s a hot tip from a pro […]

I want to point out that you don’t have to be a Monsterdon fan to take advantage of this.

Moreover, there are a bunch of end-of-year bonuses in effect. For example, The Trevor Project currently has a 5x match running, supported by other donors. If you donate $10, they will match it with $50 […]

One of my favorite audiobook publishers, Podium Audio, hinted at over and over and over again, that they would love to eventually get into the AI narration space and I don’t have any words of anger anymore. I just hate this whole timeline. Just fucking stop it. You look pothetic even mentioning […]

This week I am trying to move my #video library from #plex running on #truenas to #jellyfin running on TrueNAS.

First impression is that Swiftfin (the AppleTV app) is not good enough. I have 500-600 films in a hierarchy of dozens of directories. Both Jellyfin and Swiftfin dump all that into a […]

My router interface traffic graphs are pretty useless. Every night around 2:00am, various things run backups. Some do backups across the network, others copy out to an off-site location. But the bottom line is that if I look at my network interface graphs […]
