sheesh, the only thing worse than getting kicked out of the polycule is finding out via jira ticket 😣
![Screenshot of an email:
Subject: [PIPEXP-1192] Login Access Request
To: me
Good morning Kimberly! =^uwu^=;;
I’m sorry to hear that you’re having trouble logging into Jellyfin! It looks like your SSO account was indeed deactivated on 2025 Dec 15.
According to our records,
1. On or about 2025 Nov 15, you were broken up with by ___, who noted this as a “final break” on vis event report sheet. I’m also seeing that Ve ticked the “Unilateral” box, meaning it isn’t contestable.
2. Our Salesforce shows you aren’t close to any other polycule members
Unfortunately, our solo-poly access policy doesn’t allow us to extend resources to unpartnered members after the 30 day grace period following your break. This includes entertainment resources (Jellyfin / *darr / nzbget / Pornhub for Enterprise™ seat), as well as O365™, Adobe CC™, and shell access on the Nix clusters. We’re so sorry for your loss, cutie!! 😭💜
If you have any questions, you can reply to this email to generate another ticket, or you can contact zzzoeee@ from our Partner Infra team (note: three Zs and three Es in their LDAP, we have a lot of Zoes here!)

Regards,
___ (🏳️⚧️she/her, UTC -5)
Partner Infra Platform Experiences team
As a courtesy, a copy of this email has been sent to your manager listed in Workday™
New name or pronouns? Dating someone new? Just visit go/update-me to update your account!

Dammit Evri, can't you be at least vaguely competent?!
Email saying parcel got delivered, no knock at the door. Check the door, parcel abandoned on the step.
I mean, at least they did deliver first time in the slot but come on, chap the door.

DEEZ, which stands for 'Deploy, Exercise, Evaluate, Zero-in', relies on compartmentalized testing grounds, known as 'NUT's ('Neutral User Tests'). We hope this strategy will let us synergize our buzzwords for maximum efficiency!

OpenSCAD is pretty neat. Found a 3D print that would be useful for my rack, printed it out only to find it doesn't quite fit. So instead of trying to modify the model, I just remade the basic structure in 14 lines of SCAD with the measurements I need.

Might be an odd question but here goes. What would cause SSH timeouts which are solved by rebooting the client machine?
My Borg backups to my Synology NAS (might be important?) will run fine until randomly they get affected by timeouts and disconnects until I reboot my laptop.
Quite frustrating.

Vinted could be dangerous. snagged a Carradice Super C handlebar bag for about half price expecting it to be fairly well used. Nope, almost new, aside from the mounting screws and support cable.

Oh good, the Docker API bump has nerfed my Drone CICD pipelines. Drone doesn't seem to be particularly active either so I might be looking for a new system.

Got to work and found out the mobile phone we use for MFA has been factory reset. All MFA creds wiped with no apparent backup.
Oof.

Spent my morning banging my head off DNS partially not working in my network. Disabled dnsmasq and it works as it should. Arse.

Swapped my OPNSense firewall box back to the ER4 I had which now has an actual firmware update!
Power, noise and heat output of the network have been further dropped, good.
