Holy cow, what a bunch of #karens. https://www.malibal.com/features/dont-support-the-coreboot-project/

Nobody is obligated to work for anyone else; these clowns at #malibal seem super entitled. Yikes. #coreboot

Hmmm... #StargateUniverse is basically just Space:1999. Same basic premise: small group of humans out of reach of Earth looking for a planet to call home, but with no control of where they're going or how long they're in range of a habitable planet.

The biggest difference is that the acting in Space:1999 is worlds better.

Pixel 6 Pro crapped the bed again last night. If I stick it in the fridge I get about six seconds of backlight before it craps the bed. Apparently my self-hosted nextcloud, which I was relying on for photo backups, has been down for a while, too, so... yeah.

IT guys are the absolute worst at following their own advice.

It's a beautiful day in #Oklahoma to enjoy a La Estrella Cubana Connecticut #cigar. I think it's my favorite inexpensive cigar to just unwind with, paired with a cup of coffee. #cigars

I love it when a friend needs help with data recovery and it's as easy as shucking the enclosure and dropping the drive in my toaster.

It's an old XP image . I'm half tempted to dd it and load it in qemu for them.

My infrastructure lead has been dragging his feet on upgrading/decomming #Exchange 2013 for the last three years as I've become increasingly curt in my warnings about the looming EOL. Our scrum master had a meeting scheduled last week to divvy out tasks and make a plan.

The infrastructure lead had them bump it from Thursday to Friday, and then asked it be bumped to next week. When I raised a stink he's like, "sorry, I already have MTW off next week, we'll have to do it late next week".

I'm turning that crap off the second an unpatchable vuln is released and he can explain it to the only department that still uses the environment.

I've got a line on a complete XT-era #Commodore PC with dual floppies, software, and an #amber monitor (the best color for monochrome monitors, bar none), for $50. They just have to remember where they buried it in the barn...

"Waaah, why can't I have #icloud at work? We're not the Pentagon".

Freaking users. There aren't enough fingerpaints in the world to dumb down our communications far enough for some of these people to grok it. Or they're just being willingly stubborn.

Hmmm... I think it's time to switch back to #Windows for my day job. I did #MacOS for three years (just so I could say I could and call BS on anyone who said it was better than Windows or #Linux), and managed to convince my boss to let me use #QubesOS for the past three years (on the #Purism #librem14 - what a POS).

I love #Qubes and will continue to use it for my personal daily driver, but trying to operate in my work environment from Linux, and especially Qubes, had been causing entirely too much friction. Windows is a dumpster fire, but at least it's the same dumpster fire as everyone else.

Stupid #3Dprinter. Replaced the hot end and the thermistor is either bad or the wrong spec. Now I'll have to tear it apart again and hope the next one I buy will be correct.

Don't get me started on #creality hot snotting over all the connectors so I had to spend an hour carefully cutting and scraping to get the hot glue off.

I recently (finally) finished reading "Hackers: Heroes of the Computer Revolution" by Steven Levy.

Holy cow. I'm old enough that my first real computing (as a single-digit child) was on Apple IIs, but by then it was long in the tooth and just happened to be what our library had. There were bits and pieces of culture and stories that I was familiar with through old disks and text files, but there was so much more color to those early years than I expected, especially back in the early MIT years.

It's a dense tome, but a fascinating look into our history and how things became what they are today.

It's also shocking how far #Apple has fallen, even if it was pretty obvious which way they were heading with Jobs at the helm.

If you consider yourself part of the hacker or #maker culture, part of any of the deep wells of compute-adjacent hobbies, it's definitely worth a read.

Am I going to get myself fired or demoted for telling an executive that I'm not doing anything for them ever again without clearly defined deliverables? Stay tuned to find out!

Got to point one of our help desk guys to the classic "How to Ask Questions the Smart Way" https://www.catb.org/esr/faqs/smart-questions.html by #ESR. If you're younger and in a technical field or hobby, this really is a critical attitude to get through your head. I sat on a call with my help desk guy, our network guy, and a "Senior Windows tech" from Microsoft trying to troubleshoot a Wifi/GPO thing and none of the three of them new how to run a gpresult. None of them.

Or just ask #ChatGPT and leave me alone. See if I care.

This guy is a bit disappointing. Smells great before light, but actual taste isn't anything special. Construction issues at the head and foot ruin what would otherwise be an OK, if uninspired, smoke. Nice body, though.
