Ooh, nothing like taking a bit of time off to be a tourist with visitors, then being swamped by STUFF. Gonna take a few more days for me to get back on top of everything. Have a silly cloud pupper while I sort through it all.

@mattgrayyes what did you all do to this Aberdeenshire Tesco?!

Oracle have attempted to hide the Oracle Access Manager access, by requesting archive.org exclude the URL.

concept: a show like ramsay's kitchen nightmares, but about software instead

"i'm at spunkchute, a SaaS company that owes $2 million to AWS and is on the brink of closure”

"oh my [bleep] god. the main database server is running Ubuntu 8.04 and has two backdoors and a coin miner. SHUT. IT. DOWN.”

I always smile to myself when I see Covid / pandemic era signage or similar around now. Not because of what happened, but because you know behind every one is someone saying "fuck it, I'll remove that tomorrow" and then never doing it. The laziness I aspire to.

At this point, if you're posting AI images, I'm going to assume you've seen the discourse and you just don't care. I'm not going to warn you or try to correct you, I'm just going to unfollow.

I mean, I'll use context clues and I might give someone a break if it was an accident, or they felt they had a legitimate reason to post the Bad Stuff this one time...

But if you post it in a favorable light, or use it to make your album covers or whatever, I'm out.

In the 15+ years people have been promoting blockchains, this flowchart remains undefeated.

Someone flunked civics class. Or social studies. Or American history.

Always nice when software developers have thought of the thing you wanted already.

When #git on my laptop wants to talk to my machine at home (usually to continue work on something I left half-finished, append another commit or two, and push it back to my home checkout), it has to use #PuTTY rather than OpenSSH, because only my PuTTY configuration knows how to find its way to that machine. So I have to set either GIT_SSH or core.sshCommand to "plink". Ideally the latter, and only in the context of that one checkout.

What this _really_ needs, I thought, is an option to 'git clone' that will set an arbitrary 'git config' option early enough to affect the actual cloning operation, and then leave it set in the resulting checkout. That'd be perfect. I wonder if the git developers have thought to provide one?

And they have! #TIL 'git clone -c key=value'.

'Sometimes when I make a game people tell me that it reminds them of “the old internet.” When they say this I think that they basically mean that I’ve made something fun and unmonetized largely for the joy of…making something fun'

Yep I get that a lot too

Reach newspapers all currently running this story with the headline "Gardeners urged by RSPB to put rice on bird tables as spring arrives" accompanied by a picture of bag of uncooked rice.

Reading on, the advice is actually:
"Household scraps like pastry, cooked rice and breadcrumbs should only be offered in small amounts occasionally. It's crucial to remember that rice must be cooked before offering it to birds, as uncooked rice can lead to digestive problems"

The Muppets was the finest television ever made. It makes me genuinely sad that we will probably never experience a work of such genius again. Faultless.

Good. Women across England will be able to get the morning-after pill for free from pharmacies from later this year, the government has said. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c8eprd9n5plo
