Rained all day. Looking back at photos of springs gone by to compensate. Found a tree singing to some daffodils.

You don't WIN something at an auction. You BUY something at an auction for a price that is more than anyone else is willing to pay for it, and that's a really weird definition of winning.

heartbreaking: "amazon liquidator" is just a store full of used crap, not a t-1000 hunting jeff bezos to the ends of the earth

“Historians have a word for Germans who joined the Nazi party, not because they hated Jews, but out of a hope for restored patriotism, or a sense of economic anxiety, or a hope to preserve their religious values, or dislike of their opponents, or raw political opportunism, or convenience, or ignorance, or greed. That word is ‘Nazi’ Nobody cares about their motives anymore.”

That phenomenon where you have a compile error, or a software bug, and when you fix it it turns out there was another one hiding behind it, and so on. And you don't find out what each failure is until you've fixed the previous one, so it's hard to tell in advance how many more problems you'll have to fix until it's working.
It just struck me that a nice snappy description of the phenomenon is: "Error messages ride in single file, to hide their numbers."

Right wing nut jobs claim Islamists run the UK.
What bullshit.

People, the cloud isn’t magic. Secure your shit, manage your IDs, and stop storing your api keys in the open source code you commit to GitHub.

@techsinger non-blind, my use-case is Windows VM over linux (ubuntu, lts releases).
virtualbox is my go-to as specific resources down to certain usb devices can be passed through to show natively to the VM.
no compatibility issues for ports that exist on host but older serial stuff I end up passing through a usb serial adaptor to give a native serial port to the OS, which doesn't work well for pre-usb device drivers expecting a low-index serial port like com1 rather than com9 or such.
