SATX posted some videos from last year - very appreciative of their work. Here's mine - a "why and how to setup a log4shell range in the cloud".

Me before today: and are basically the same.

Today: let's add an external node to this on demand so I can do big things!

Me today: dang, k3s and k3d are different in important ways 😥

New baby: asleep. 3 yr old: asleep. Wife: asleep. Dog: asleep. Cat: I mean, you know he's asleep, it's a sunny afternoon and he's a cat.

Time to get some groceries I guess 😆

US friends, take note. I went to vote in Berlin today and this was the line in front of the polling station. “But wait! There is no line!” Indeed. There is no line because there need not be one. Because it’s about how polling is organised. If you are standing in a line for hours in order to exercise your democratic rights, it’s because someone wants you to.#polling #democracy #righttovote

"QUICK. WHAT ARE THE 128 MOST IMPORTANT INSTRUMENTS? WE NEED TO HAVE THE GENERAL MIDI SPEC IN TOMORROW!"

"UH FUCK, PIANO 1 PIANO 2 PIANO 3 FLUTE OBOE GUN"

"GUN???"

Everybody clutching their pearls about the balloons will be really shocked when they learn about satellites.

@feld when I was young I let myself spend time modifying everything on my Linux desktop and I thought it was fun. I was learning a ton because I was new. At some point I kept modifying things but I wasn't learning much anymore. Then I got to a point where I felt like I was wasting time by having to modify things.

I got a MBP and the hardware and software were great! I didn't have to modify stuff! Which was good because mostly I couldn't.

Almost a decade later the performance was terrible. OS X outgrew my laptop (which was my daily driver). I went back to Debian Testing.

And I had lost the desire to modify things. Debian matured a little, yes, but I had also lost that habit of modifying everything. I just setup the basics and go and it is exactly what I need. Linux was what I needed and I wasn't wasting time.

I agree that OS X is a pretty great user experience though.

The real source code of GNU software is the nerd who wrote it.

the Voight Kampf test scenes in Blade Runner, but instead it's just Harrison Ford like "please try to draw a woman with correct number of fingers or teeth."

Q: what’s the most cryptographically secure meal?
A: one-time pad thai

@FourOh-LLC it would be interesting if he could make the resistor layer with little short circuits that get in circuit only at a slightly higher temperature than the solder on top melts. Then, you could use the layer to melt the solder, after that kick it a little higher voltage to melt the parts and short the resistor, use current limiting to protect everything when the short kicks in, then turn it off. The resistor layer could become your ground plane, so you don't need another.

I think the resistor layer might interact poorly with some RF, but there's probably some way to write software that automatically avoids that issue.

The interface is particularly bad. It's optimized to keep me watching ads - which, fine. Whatever. But there's not a good tagging system, no way to share things within the platform with friends. No way to see what my friends might have liked. No integration with a social network period.

There is so much good interesting nerdy content in there, and that makes it the only good video platform I know of, but it's so bad at connecting me with it.
