@JetlagJen @stavvers "....sex... think of the children.."
"I think if you conflate those two we need to seek legal advice and potentially hire a woodchipper for you to sit in"
@stavvers this raises the concept of segregated disabled cubicles and horny cubicles. possibly even horny-disabled cubicles for inclusivity.
not horny-family or horny-babychanging cubicles though. this isn't the whitehouse.

AI memes may be here to stay, but I shall not knowingly partake in their creation and sharing. (If I accidentally repost an AI meme/image, feel free to call me out.)
@adam BPO, but brain not business...
"do this thing I don't like doing, but half-assed according to some vague metric which only counts if I catch you out not meeting it at some point"
@wec was about to see if spare hands were needed, but 120v is not local. sorry
@wec oh wow. extremely jealous.
any docs / folders for stuff like accounts/passwords? prob have tacacs/radius server in there for the networky stuff to be able to read vlan/trunking info for rebuild/etc. also if IBM-centric could have some tokenring fun in there too around the mainframes... :/
guessing this isn't your first though :D

big announcement for Friday: I have acquired a datacenter that has not been touched since approximately 2002, and is FULL of old 80s/90s/2000s IBM mainframe equipment. mainframes, disk arrays, tape drive strings, network processor boxes, and more!
all will be photographed (and posted here), also videographed!
the equipment is being moved to my place, where pubvm.org will be ran on an actual IBM System/370 mainframe!!!!
this is a six-sigma event, this is unfathomable rarity omg

I've been cross-posting to both Bluesky and Mastodon for a few months now, and this comparison is pretty emblematic of how that's been going:
Masto: 40 total interactions
Bluesky: Zero. Zip. Zilch. Nada.
Numbers aren't everything, but this is an observable pattern that tells a very different story than the one I keep seeing in "mainstream" discourse.

I host my mastodon at home and it survived being #1 on hacker news last night

Anthropic AI: Mythos is a next gen cybersecurity tool that will make security flaws a thing of the past and you don't need any IT/infosec staff.
*one week later* Some hackers gained access to Mythos and have access to customer data.
So much hype about some garbage model with no care for security. This and many other models are now used by Apple, banks, military and other big customers. Imagine amount of stuff that will be now accessed by anyone because people behind it don't review it. 🤡

Managed to spend some time on #earthDay tending the specific wee bit of earth that we live on. First proper stint in the garden of the year. Decisions were made about which bits of lawn would be mowed & which would be left. Areas were cleared for planting. Bugs were uncovered to the delight of the local bird life (sorry bugs). Birds were booped (sorry birds).

Everybody talks about the guy pulling the sword out of the stone becoming king, but I think it would be a real power move to wield the sword while it's still inside the stone
Like, you may not technically be the "rightful" king, but if you've got a boulder with a handle, I am going to listen to you

497) Humourbot. Takes your place when a well-meaning but clueless acquaintance decides to offer 'advice' for dealing with your chronic pain, mental health, etc. Very good at politely nodding along and looking interested in absolute bollocks. #SmallRobotsRemastered
