  They spent the election selling their low-means supporters the idea that the problem isn’t wages being low, it’s taxes being too high. And once taxes are low you’ll be a Fortune 500 CEO before you know it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Heheheh my secret door of secret knowledge⁩ ⁨⁨15⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  I had one gig where I had more access to the building than the building’s owner and company ceo.

  But the real sense of power came the day I realized I could trap anyone in the company into a concrete stairwell with locked steel doors by revoking keycard access while they were between floors. I had a emergency lever/opener added to the ground floor door - I don’t know how that got past fire inspection in the first place.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google to Integrate Gemini AI into Android Auto for Smarter In-Car Experience⁩ ⁨⁨18⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  This is why I didn’t buy a wireless android auto adapter when I bought a different car. I figured Gemini was going to get stuffed down our throats there.

  Don’t use feces for anything load bearing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Trakt Upcoming VIP Renewal Pricing Changes – Effective May 20, 2025⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  I thought I cancelled a couple years ago, so I appreciate them send me an email telling me they were still getting my money.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Spoon⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  The last advice my therapist ever gave me will hang with me forever: “I you’re not willing to open up to me you won’t get much from these sessions.”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The book you needed today⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I think they were featured on Penn and Teller’s old show Bullshit!

  A perfect place for succulants

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Release 0.26.0 · Dawarich (breaking changes)⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  For those unfamiliar, Dawarich is a self hosted location tracker / timeline

  Thank you for that. Its surprising how long that takes to answer when I see some release announcements. Especially over on Mastodon.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨AMERICAN POPE LETS GO⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  We have an American Pope. But it not being Micheal Ian Black is a wound my younger self may never recover from.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Stay on the path.⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I played enough Zork that I’m never surprised by grues.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨‘How come I can’t breathe?': Musk’s data company draws a backlash in Memphis⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Shortened lives, hastened climate change, and stunted development is a small price to pay for being able to a nude version of any photo posted to xitter.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Skype was shut down for good today⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Somebody send a gift basket to the Skype CEO, he’s not doing so well.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨great shoe idea⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Animal Detective: The dog you’re looking for weighs close to 200lbs, walks exclusively inside shoe prints, and (based on the trash in the area) is fond of playing Edward 40 Hands.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Mouse⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve always appreciated that the black rat’s name is Rattus rattus. It’s the rattiest rat that’s ever ratted, it’s right there in the name.

  This is a post that reminds me I’m not wearing my reading glasses.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨At least 4,500 Americans per year die from hydroxyl acid exposure⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This terrible chemical directly caused the pressure increase that lead to Chernobyl.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I use Zip Bombs to Protect my Server⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  My experience is with systems that handle nearly 1000 pageviews per second. We did use a spread of haproxy servers to handle routing and SNI, but they were being fed offender lists by external analysis tools (built in-house).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I use Zip Bombs to Protect my Server⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Most often because they don’t download any of the css of external js files from the pages they scrape. But there are a lot of other patterns you can detect once you have their traffic logs loaded in a time series database. I used an ELK stack back in the day.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I use Zip Bombs to Protect my Server⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  When I was serving high volume sites (that were targeted by scrapers) I had a collection of files in CDN that contained nothing but the word “no” over and over. Scrapers who barely hit our detection thresholds saw all their requests go to the 50M version. Super aggressive scrapers got the 10G version. And the scripts that just wouldn’t stop got the 50G version.

  It didn’t move the needle on budget, but hopefully it cost them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google’s dominance on search is declining – for the first time ever!⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  “Significantly better than ChatGPT” and “Good” aren’t the same. Like ipecac is better to drink than sewage water.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google’s dominance on search is declining – for the first time ever!⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I went long enough without using Google (probably a year-ish) that, when I accidentally made a Google search a few days ago, it was a jarring experience.

  It felt wrong the same way other search engines did when I first deGoogled. It was kind of nice actually.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Researchers Tattooed Tardigrades. They Promise It Will Be Useful⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  And they didn’t do a heart with a banner in front of it that says “Mom”?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨To whom it may concern⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  When I was in college my roommates and I would open all those offers standing at the mailbox, seal the empty envelopes back up, then put then right back in the mailbox for the carrier to grab the next day (or maybe mail thieves, who knows). We figured just mailing them all back was going to cost something.

  Blink. Winks are asymmetrical.

  My mom also used ours to hold dough during rising.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨An oldie but a goodie⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I had so many of those as a child. In hindsight, having a drawer full of (sometimes damp) animal shaped sponges was weird.
