Reminds me of a meme I’m still proud of all these years later.

Got myself a notebook…

I have been thoroughly & pleasingly distracted this evening, thanks all.

I must away to bed now, so digging out an old one for sleep well wishes.

My message to Senators:

❝The correct amount of funding for not just ICE but the •entire Department of Homeland Security• is zero. ZERO. You heard me: the entire agency. Under current leadership, it is off the rails. It is dangerous. It it a menace.

“More training” is a pathetic non-answer; that just means more money. These murderers are trained; they are just monsters. Don’t say “better oversight.” Don’t say “more reforms.” Pull the rug. Switch it off. • Shut • it • down • NOW •

If you have to shut down every airport in the country because the TSA budget is in there too, then you shut down every damned airport in the country. If you have to shut down the federal government again, you shut it down. Your inaction is sleepwalking the country into civil war. SHUT. IT. DOWN.❞

Everyone is following @JauntyArt for their Caveat Frog images, aye? Guaranteed moment of joy in your day. I think this is my favourite, but there's some stiff competition.

You Matter* Caveat Frog

Twelve people sent me the freecycle giant mechanical scorpion, but not one of you sent me the nuclear decommissioning robot arm auction. Poor effort. Try harder.

You Know When Something Just Clicks* Caveat Frog

🤣 Dear Whitehouse, there are no Penguins on Greenland

Here #curl is again showing the way in Open Source, this time with vulnerability management. Per their well-known/security.txt:

#TIL that if you have a preferred low-level build tool to use with cmake (e.g. I like ninja in preference to make), you can set CMAKE_GENERATOR in the environment to make it the default for you.

How have I been using cmake for this many years and not found that out?

As soon as I made the step from "it's really annoying having to say -G Ninja every time" to "I wish there was a way I could change the default, like maybe an environment variable", it took me 2 minutes to check and find out there already was one. But somehow it's taken me ten years to make that leap of thought. I feel silly!

But I suppose at least I didn't start trying to write a patch _adding_ one, and find the existing one in the code location I was modifying. That would have been more embarrassing.
