Infra/DevOps/SRE/Magic. When not shouting at Google, I play w/RGB to make my battlestation light up. I also sometimes build Gundam model kits.
Rewatching #stargateuniverse and got my wife to finally give it a shot. A series she watched only 10 minutes of the first episode and unilaterally declared it the worst of all three.

We're 25 episodes in and she keeps yelling at me for not starting another one.

Easily the best of them all.

I cannot believe that tomorrow I'm just going to... work. While the world feels like it's burning around me.

Like I'm sitting here going "the f does homegrown next" mean, like we don't all know what exactly what it means.

And I just need to be... Okay with it & go about my day?

I'm terrified.

General life updates: about a month into the new role. A lot of the day to day involves building out a hiring process and offboarding external contractors, documenting core business functionality. In another world, this would be boring. But today? I feel driven with purpose again.

Just finished watching Gundam: The Origin (OVA version) with my wife. Her jaw is still on the ground and she's like, "IS THERE MORE?! WHAT HAPPENED TO LALAH?!"

Ma'am, I have good news for you, and I have bad news for you.

Well, here's some fun Friday news.

After 10 months of being out of work/slowly stagnating contracts, I've gone full time at long last.

This market is awful. The mental toll it's taken has been awful. This last week has been awful.

Hoping steady income can at least alleviate some of this stress.

Enjoy a picture of Luna being sassy. I have nothing else to add to this day.

Since everything is terrible, turn up the volume to hear some soothing sounds that might help.

Pour one out for the US Digital Service.

This amazing team was founded during the Obama administration. They convinced some of the best and brightest minds in tech, to give up wealth and RSUs and free lattes, to dedicate their professional lives to service.♥️👍🏿

It just got renamed to DOGE.

after days of grifters and con men at CES we stumbled upon the booth for VLC. they were all dressed as wizards and told us, "we have nothing to sell, we just decided to show up". i told them I'd been using their software to pirate media for 15 years and they said "keep doing that"

@snipe.lol I just visited my parents with my wife, and since we're looking to move up this way, showed her the commuting options, return on NJ Transit last night. Trains were canceled from 8:30 pm on.

We got on the train today at 8:30am, pedestrian strike at 9:20 @ Ramsey

she got the full XP.

Forgot to tag the #3Dprinting community. Oops! #crafting #hobbies
Looking for tips with my #ankermake M5. Some print issues I'm seeing:
- zbanding
- print bed imprinting

I've done some pretty standard troubleshooting for the zbanding but no adjustments seem to be working; looking for ideas on common diagnostic steps

Had an interesting experience at a hobby shop recently. My last deburring tool+blade broke on me, and asked my wife to pick one up in the city. Place was an OG metal/Plamo kit store, and the deburring was "too advanced" to stock.

We literally picked it up from home depot that weekend for $7.

Glad that Conspirador Norteño is here.

Did important work on Twitter identifying networks of inauthentic accounts.
Every public action on Bluesky is available via a stream of events known as the firehose. By monitoring the firehose for repeated text, it is sometimes possible to quickly detect groups of spam accounts as they spawn.

Touching to have Spotify celebrate the 1-year anniversary of my layoff by demonstrating that they could not, in fact, still do Wrapped just as well without me.

Whelp my 2019 razer blade advanced has now had two battery swelling episodes. Considering I rarely leave it running on the charger, I'm inclined to believe it's the design of the laptop itself expediting the battery deterioration, likely due to heat.

Sunk cost? Yup. Still gonna fix it again.

Me: "okay, application in place for Senior Cloud Engineer. Verified on LinkedIn, and Workday. Awesome."
Them: "Thanks for applying to the Principal Cloud Network Engineer position! This email is not monitored."
Me: "Woah wait what? ...ehhhhh, let's see how this plays out."

Yay job hunting!
