Important news for all nerds: The Unix timestamp will begin with 17 this Tuesday.

i think it's crazy that any usb cable designed to supply over 60 watts or 480 Mbps needs to have a dedicated IC inside. the so called "E-marker" chip. at what point did electrical engineers think it was ok to turn cables into computers? the interface should handle all that not the cable. just sloppy and stupid. PoE can supply 100 watts and gigabit speeds with just a regular Ethernet cable. no excuses.

🎶 Welcome to the juggle,
We got balls and clubs
We got all the skills you want,
And honey, we know the names
We are the people that can show
Whatever trick you need
If you got the money, honey,
We got your disease 🎶

Been reading too much news today, while feeling a bit under the weather.

I did find a leaf building a protective cage around itself though.

Sounds like a plan.

Covid inquiry, Home Office 

Just having a catch up on the headlines from the inquiry.

Saw them asking Priti Patel about plans to help vulnerable people.

Thought to myself "why are they asking her about that"? before realising that's something the Home Office is supposed to do.

It's meant to keep people safe.

What a damning indictment of the Home Office of recent years that I should be so surprised at having to connect those two things.

Grim.

OH: A coworker just shared a term she uses to describe meetings that go astray when certain coworkers bloviate. “Non-consensual TED talk.”

the sun is always shining somewhere, electricity flows near the speed of light, doesn't take a genius to realize that solar on demand is possible even in the middle of the night, it's just a matter of infrastructure and transcontinental agreements.

what all you bluesky people don't get is that the very second Jack Dorsey gets a billion dollar bid he's going to sell you all down the river without a second thought, just like he did with Twitter. and we all know how that turned out.

You have heard it said, "Those not learning from history are doomed to repeat it," but I tell you "those preventing history from being taught, intend to repeat it."

So you know how some people insist that you look at photos of their babies all the time, assuming you're interested in the minute changes since the last photo?

Yeah, so turns out I do that, but with fungi in my garden.

Because these billboards are just monitors rotated 90 degrees, they’re invisible to polarized sunglasses. It’s like a real-life ad blocker!

Finally assembled my 2nd server rack in the office. Meraki mx85, Cisco 9300, some servers.

Japanese capsule toy edition, slightly but not just barely overly expensive Japanese eBay find 😅

just flubbed the sentence "sexual health and wellbeing" into "sexual wealth and hellbeing" on a client call and I feel like that is accidentally the best copy I've ever written
