I pretend to work in Infosec, which is really just a cover for "I want to get paid to read books about geopolitics and spy shit".

Did I waste way too much time coming up with the sentence "Welcome to shell", and making it look good? Maybe.
Do I think it's the coolest thing I've done all day? Yes, absolutely.

Two regular residents got their friends to raise more than $17,000 to buy medical debt worth $1.6 million. Instead of cashing in on the debt, they forgave it, helping more than 1,700 Philadelphians.

For those among you running OpenSMTPD: it is currently _completely_ broken on Debian Stable (https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1037359). And it doesn't look like the fix will be merged.
Manually downgrading to the version from Oldstable works, but .. wow, that's bad.

I love when people ask me about work.
"How are you so good at this whole computer thing?"
"Remember growing up? You know, the whole lot - going out, having fun, parties, your first kiss and all that?"
"Yes! Of course!"
"I don't."

Whenever I see an illustration like this I want to talk to the management, and advise them to talk to their illustrators. Because they clearly aren't having a good time.

As an exception, I need to run Linux with a full desktop in Virtualbox. Even with plenty of resources, the graphics performance is "stuttering when dragging windows"-bad.
Lots of searching revealed: apparently Wayland is not fully supported by Virtualbox yet.
2023 and Linux still hurts me.

I have no idea how I'm going to store it in my tiny flat, I have no friends that play tabletop games, yet alone Warhammer. But that doesn't matter. Storage anxiety is temporary, Fortress of Redemption is eternal.
