My work environment has gone to hell this year. First I was told to move across country on my own dime to keep my job. Then to report to the office 3x a week for no good reason only to have them close the office next to my new apartment forcing me to commute. Then I watched several people get laid off or demoted after moving for the job. Now we are to start reporting to the office 5x a week and there is no assigned seating and no guarantees that I won’t be laid off or demoted next. I’m dealing with it this year by telling them to get stuffed and moving back home.

Not to brag but I have two of these and a proper junk drawer.

Generally, GitHub Copilot helps me type faster. Though sometimes it predicts something I’m don’t expect and I have to slow down and analyze it to see if it seems to know something I don’t. A small percentage of these cases are actually useful but the rest is usually noise. It’s generally useful as long as you don’t blindly trust it.

It would probably be blank. The literacy rate wasn’t particularly great back then.

Buy a minivan, remove back seats. Add a bed and a battery bank, a small travel fridge and a hob for cooking then start camping at the nearest national parks. Refine my load out and start venturing farther and farther out.

You can never ever go wrong with the Miles Davis album, Kind of Blue.

Not even power and water supplies?

Racism and hate respect no borders.

Enterprise Linux

Any flavor of vi, Gnu Screen, lrzsz, bash with the usual cli tools (awk, sed, grep, tail, head, rev, cat, tac, and recently jq and yq). Also openssh client. Some flavor of netcat is also crazy useful too. This is a good home for me to do my thing.

Edir: oh, and git. How did I forget git?!

Adding Bluetooth to a vacuum cleaner does make it suck more.

To this day I still don’t upgrade OSes in general and I even evangelize “rip and replace” professionally so loudly that it’s now enforced via policy at my workplace. This must be where my ethos for this practice originated.

I think it was SLS. I know it took a pile of floppies. At some point I made a tape to make it easier to install. Why I needed to install that often eludes my aging memory but those experiences still pay to this day.

Princess Pumpkin Patty-cake.

A Love Supreme by John Coltrane. And in no way do I mean this as a dis for anything that followed. A masterpiece is simply just that.

I recommend Charmin Ultra Strong.

Terraform… Oh wait, Nevermind. I need to start switching to OpenTofu now.

“Nevermind, I figured it out.”

Who dis?
