Can someone tell me what a "Black Hatter" is in #hazbinhotel ?

I've looked, and searched - and find no (cannon) reference to it… just fan-art.

They're mentioned in S2E4, and feels Chekhov's Gun-like…

I have two 30m slots of Radio Time every week on an AM Shortwave broadcast station that can be heard almost everywhere in the World - over *actual* radio.

None of this "streaming" nonsense.

My next show needs to be 30 minutes of @amirtalai.bsky.social cackling over screams with no context.

When I was in my early 20s I was offered a job in a third world country to build their first Internet Service Provider.

"What a potential to do good!", I thought to myself.

The salary was near nothing, but the offered housing, a driver, armed guards, and a live-in cook and maid.

Ok…
Everyone I know who's moved to Dubai has done so because they love having servants--the chefs, housekeepers, drivers & nannies they could not afford in places with labor & human rights laws.

It's the upper middle class correlate to my theory that the ultra-rich really want to OWN other people.

Two months ago I spoke at @codescarolina.bsky.social on the subject of @ponylang.bsky.social !

I had a most excellent time, met some most excellent people, and had many most excellent conversations with others around developing concurrent and safe software.

Conjuring up some magic to finish my #ponylang #ODBC library.

My one unsolved problem is that different databases return different error codes for the same issues!

How does one solve this in a portable manner?

I just bought a sonic cutter. It's basically an X-Acto-knife that vibrates at 40khz.

It may be my favourite tool purchase since my thermaltonics iron!

Haha, classic.

"Hacker" tries to modify passwd file to provide themselves with persistent access.

passwd file is immutable.

"Hacker" gives up.

I can think of at least three different approaches to get past this if this were a legitimate engagement.

When log4j vulns appeared, I wrote an app that recursively searched .zip/.war/ear/.jar files in memory for a specified regex.

(…or just recursively show you all the files in each).

I've been using it recently to inventory all my backups and it was so useful I'm considering renaming it.

I just found a news article about the first security incident I ever worked. In 1997 (!)

Even in 1997, having a default policy of blocking all outgoing traffic from our production servers saved our bacon.

Have my talk at @codescarolina.bsky.social .

First time at a conference since the before times.

Talked about one of the languages I've been working with the last 5 years or so: @ponylang.bsky.social

289 "Slides" in 30ish minutes.

... and somehow I resisted theming it MLP all the way through!

If you're here, come say "Hi" to me.

I don't know what it is about fountain pens, but my EDC selection colors my mood for the day.

Carrying a 100+ year old pen frames my day with care and deliberate wonder.

Carrying a modern pen with sparkly ink frames my day like "Star vs the forces of evil" and I giggle like a 12 year old all day

Heading into my last days with my current employer - and as an Employee whose job was research and creativity I am leaving behind what feels like a thousand unexplored loose ends.

All had some value to me.

Few will be picked up by others and explored.

Never enough time to do them all justice.

Is this the first time #eurovision had allowed voting from the beginning, as opposed to at the end of all the songs?

I don't remember it being this way...

... it just seems unfair to those later in the show.

It had better be #Malta

Votes cast for #Malta

Come on and win this thing! ❤️

I really hope this is the case.

I adore this song with every fiber of my being...

So catchy!

Is it me, or has the sound mixing of most of the songs this evening been just awful?

Is that a treadmill on stage or really clever camera-work?

Subtitles: "singing in an international language".

Useful.

I'm kinda vibing to the lack of awful American hosts for #Eurovision.

Let's hope this continues for the final too!

Looking at this double-stacked nib under the microscope to see if I can work out why it's suffering from dry-starts from time to time.

Where / how can I get training for nibmeister skills?

As a fountain pen fan, I need to know!
