Good news for #webdev and #PowerShell people:

I've created a little educational module "Servers101"

github.com/PowerShellWe...

It's a collection of simple servers written in pure PowerShell.

Hopefully this helps everyone see how simple servers can be.

My mother in law asked me to send her "the Elton John turkey recipe" that I like to use. Now that I finally figured out what she meant, I'll share it here too. @altonbrown.bsky.social altonbrown.com/recipes/good...

They should stop producing nickels and dimes also.

It's amazing the number of smartphones that go shooting off in various directions.
How do people roll up to the famous cop slide and not think, "Hold up. Somebody Hold my phone first."?
I love that the Boston cop slide never got fixed and now people just willingly go down it in tribute. It’s basically a national landmark at this point

I'll always be clicking on an octo-punch video. Guaranteed.
When Day Octopuses (Octopus cyanea) hunt, they are sometimes followed by fish. Some of these fish, like the lyretail grouper, help out by finding prey. Others are just looking to steal a meal.

To protect against thieving fish, day octopuses will punch the fish. A literal sucker punch.

Your favorite thing is down because DynamoDB at Amazon's AWS US-EAST-1 Regionwoke up with Main Character Syndrome.

This is the default /legacy backbone for a ton of things.

Including Amazon's own stuff.

Massive outages.

I made a joke about not sharing a full screen so my BonziBuddy doesn't show up and the whole crowd was full on crickets.
I really need to archive some jokes away forever.

You've got to turn the flood light on before you lock the back patio door. Once locked, then you can turn the light off and THEN turn your back on it.
Always check the backseat 😤
