Why do I not have a patch to Wireshark that makes the icons Blåhaj?

@sycophantic @kajer I was going to suggest the same,now he has to do it

@terra oh is this why I don't like queer events?

@chaos the balmer peak is real

@kajer even Amazon is migrating off Chime...

@dave oh, I'm going to try that

Getting pushed to use "AI" tools at work. I'm trying a CLI coding assistant tool. It's not allowed to modify my files, and I told it to be a little sarcastic.

It offered to help me look for job postings where I wouldn't have to deal with poorly documented Linux kernel network subsystems, and in another instance recommended alcohol as a solution to my problems.

Also

Gets TX timestamps. Maybe. If the kernel feels like it. And the NIC is in a good mood. And Mercury isn't in retrograde.

At least you got an error message, that's something.

Okay, let's ruin your day.

It took 3 weeks, but GitHub has fixed the bug that was causing the front end to choke on my repository.

I asked them to reprint the passport they destroyed with the correct gender marker, and they told me to start (and pay for) a new application.

I'm entitled to a free correct passport and they're going to give it to me.

Current status: Emailing the US embassy and stopping just short of calling them bootlickers.

@tychotithonus I see what you did there. 🤓

@SleepyCatten a bit of both is certainly a good nuanced opinion, but the "why" is what I find interesting. If I'm putting myself on the D&D alignment chart in terms of how I conduct myself as a hacker, I'd go with "Neutral Good", leaning a little towards "Chaotic Good".

Hmm. Is the white hat vs black hat spectrum more like good vs evil or law vs chaos?

(not a poll, I want you to do opinions with words at me)

@levitte Ah, fair. :-)

I can function as a mid level, maybe even senior software engineer, and end up writing some of my own tools, but I also very much appreciate when I don't have to. At my day job, I'm more oriented towards prototyping and "architect" level work.

I consider myself purple/white. My integrity is very important to me.

My work is on the surface "blue team" but I frequently run that from a "best defense is good offense" standpoint, and I do a lot of both offense/breaking and defense/fixing on the side.

@DBosiers no explanation ;-)

Being nonbinary and pan probably makes me true neutral, but I still feel trans gay 🤔

@MxVerda Is this the first you've seen of this?

@levitte so former help desk and former sysadmin?

@MxVerda team and hat :-)

@GromBeestje @n0toose It's a perfectly valid email address according to the relevant RFCs, and GitHub itself verified that it works.

Not my fault if it teaches someone an important lesson about input validation. 🤷
