They should let me tour us-east-1. Partially as a learning exercise in seeing how some of the world's most important web infrastructure works day-to-day, but also so I can have a specific Thing to imagine taking a sledgehammer to when I get frustrated at console.

I do think we need to wage some kind of terrible, brutal war against those who have invented and continue to use JSON.

Given the DR weird routes and the UT 10th anniversary stream, it's astonishing how well Toby Fox can recreate the feeling of "Mew under the truck" schoolyard rumours in an era where tools like decompilers and data dumps means understanding of videogames tends towards omniscience.

Microsoft funds OpenAI, which pays for Microsoft & other cloud/data center companies for compute, and those cloud companies buy Nvidia GPUs, and Nvidia props those companies up with investment and guarantees to buy unused compute capacity.

The sorry punchline to the bad joke of @proton.me refusing to let me add an additional user to my plan at my discounted rate is that I have discovered I've just lost that discounted rate altogether. I was not even informed of this, I went to put money in my account and saw "lol u owe us $200 more"

(from The Secret Rules of the Terminal, which is out now!)
![your shell lets you run many programs (“jobs”) in the same terminal tab
programs can either be:
foreground
background
stopped (which is more like “paused”)
& runs a program in the background
for example I like to convert 100 files in parallel like this:
for i in `seq 1 100`
do
convert $i.png $i.jpg &
done
jobs lists backgrounded & stopped jobs
$ jobs
[1] Running python blah.py &
[2] Stopped vim
use the numbers to bring them to the foreground or background (like fg %2), kill them (kill %2), or disown them
when you close a terminal tab all jobs are killed with a SIGHUP signal
you can stop this with disown or by starting the program with nohup: disown %1 (job number goes here) nohup my_program &
a trick to kill programs if Ctrl+C doesn’t work
press Ctrl+Z to stop the program
run kill %1 to kill it (or kill -9 %1 if you’re feeling extra murderous)
a little flowchart
Three boxes, labelled “running in foreground”, “stopped”, and “running in background”
Ctrl+Z goes from “running in foreground” to “stopped” fg goes from “stopped” to “running in foreground” fg goes from “running in background” to “running in foreground” bg goes from “stopped” to “running in background”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:nzrozayxq764zbgl4qtp5ald/bafkreigxoajfoayzbyucv22q6daqvpvcjlftkkhbeaajib5mbri3cwj5fq@jpeg)
