We accidentally placed a collection order from the wrong Domino’s so I’m now on the subway carrying several pizzas and I feel absolutely ridiculous

PSA: Always double check where you’re ordering from

It’s finally almost here, I can’t believe it……

It’s the day after ConFuzzled. I’m sitting in Birmingham eating a burrito bowl and I’ve accidentally got the con NSFW chat to have an in-depth discussion about card payment networks.

I’m feeling very powerful right now

I got a haircut and I look slightly different now

This might mark the end of my “wearing a cap everywhere” era

Oh no, it’s only the first full day of CFz and I’ve already opened a can of worms by wearing the wrong kind of dog face around the convention

(I got written approval from con ops, but it seems that a couple of people raised such a stink about it that I’m now forbidden from wearing it before 8pm 🙃)

white smoke just came out of our router... this means that the DHCP conclave has ended and a new IP address has been selected

saw a link to an open-source project with “AI-powered compilation” and i looked at the code out of morbid curiosity

this was in the diff to their Cursor config file

anyway, brb, i’m going to go yell “DO NOT burn!!!” at the pizza that i’ve had in the oven for the past 3 hours. i’m sure that’ll help

[interview with customer] “every update just breaks something that worked fine before”

[brief cut to a 3-second clip of the CTO sitting in a gaming chair playing Minecraft]

[tired-looking lead engineer] “we keep telling the CEO not to SSH into prod and edit files but he just won't listen to us”

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.”

If I had a garden that I wanted to keep secret then I wouldn’t be advertising it on signs, but maybe I’m just old-fashioned

yesterday I saw a sign promising that for less than £100, they can put up a bunch of signs advertising your business on lamp posts

if I ever win the lottery, i'll do this but it'll just be pictures of my fursona

Great news: I got unbanned from Twitter!!

Now I can proceed to not use it again 🎉

so tired of computers taking people’s jobs. the title of “Password Manager” used to mean something.

years of learning all the letters and numbers and symbols, memorising TOTP secrets, all gone to waste because everyone just downloads LastPass now

New blog post: One Dog v. the Windows 3.1 Graphics Stack

I tried to get this 31-year-old OS to play ball with the Intel GMA 950 in my 16-year-old netbook, by taking an unofficial 24-year-old driver patch and further patching it myself. Sort of. It's a mess.

Greetings from the blåhaj mountain

just got my GDPR Wrapped 👀 learning so much about my browsing habits

Fun fact: SCART connectors have 20 pins (not counting the shield). USB-C only requires 18 wires.

This means that you could theoretically connect two Thunderbolt devices using a SCART cable, which would be pointless but also extremely funny

*cutely violates the GDPR*

*avoids fines by making puppy dog eyes at the Information Commissioner*

concept: a modern day Romeo and Juliet, about the ill-fated romance between an Automattic boy and a WP Engine girl

Good morning from Dublin 🇮🇪
