A #poem to a daughter I don't have...

I've been going to the #gym for the past 9 months. In all that time I've only ever seen women bench press 2 times total. I never asked why, but I can only assume it's due to negative gender stereotypes. It's a shame really, because it's such a good #exercise with so many benefits.

Massive protests in Belgrade, Serbia call for the resignation of the pro-Kremlin president Vucic. #3E #EndImpunity #SerbiaProtests

My favorite passage from Harry Martinson's Aniara, an epic #poem of man's technological grandeur (and hubris) turned despair.

A few thousand souls embark on a routine trip to a Martian colony, but are pulled off-course by an asteroid and must now face existential dread over the next few decades.

Call of the grim
My nearing grave
Earth's cold temple
The turning wave
Trees abide
In the sound of air
Jaded soul
Are you going my way

Two feet standing on a principle
Two hands longing for each other's warmth
Cold smoke seeping out of colder throats
Darkness falling, leaves no way to go

It's spiraling down
Biting words like a wolf howling
Hate is spitting out each other's mouths
But we're still sleeping like we're lovers

I love #weird people.

I love how they care about seemingly insignificant things.

True passion is born without a particular cause. It remains pure in intent, incorruptible, child-like, gleeful and honest.

Stay weird. Don't let others crush your spirit or make you conform to their expectations.

A broken picture frame
On an old wooden desk
The look of a jaded man

A home abandoned
Dust long since settled
Just a ray of sunshine

You promised you'd forgive
But kept no semblance of your vow
I, the reminder of your sin
Shattered glass all over

Sorry as I may be
My words are not quite right
To reach you

Hurting as I am
Your hands reach out
To shut me down

Regretful as I should be
Our hearts fail
To resonate

Hopeful as I could be
Your mind long made up
To dismiss

Strong as I must be
I am nowhere close enough
To resolve

#poetry

I think of love
I let it pass
It feels like fire
But it won't last

Thoughts will unwind
No longer mine
They are for you
When you come
So long
I'm cutting here
And the water's blood
When you come

One of the more interesting perks of running a website is that the access logs sometimes contain interesting things.

Imagine my surprise finding this in the access log:

GET /.vscode/sftp.json

One of the more creative attempts of gaining unauthorized access to SSH I've seen in a while.

In this piece, I wrote about how anti-vax beliefs have been mainstreamed by our media:

The story below is a great example of what I’m talking about. “Sickness builds the immune system” is an anti-vaxxer lie. Much of the public believes it now.

Recently discovered this progressive metal masterpiece and I can't stop listening.

Somber, beautiful, touching, but aggressive at the same time. This is why progressive metal is my favorite genre.

Ok #atdev?! How is this 2FA exactly? How is this not a totally insecure implementation? Whatever happened to TOTP?

If you know most people reuse passwords, why don't you assume the user's email is likely compromised as well?

TOTP is borderline impossible to spoof without the shared secret. Use it.

Still only 300 characters. Are we still stuck in the microblogging era out of sheer inertia? Sometimes it feels like it. Think about it, if we had a couple thousand at our disposal, multi post threads would not be a thing.
