Retiring a 16-18 year old computer from my parents' house that saw daily use and many upgrades/fixes through the years. The caps on the motherboard finally burst. Going to build a new one for them. The computer before this lasted a decade. Hopefully the next will last as long or longer as these two.

Just added a bunch of political/social filters in #mastodon. If they work like the UI seems to indicate they do, I'll be doing a lot less blocking/muting moving forward.

@silkevicious thanks! I've regained consciousness 😁

Good #tzaf, #fediverse. Got a rare early morning tomorrow.

@ironchamber the latter

@ironchamber they often feel targeted but that's just my anxiety brain

The deeper into election season we get, the more I'm muting and blocking.

Good #tzag, #fediverse!

Once again I'm up far too late. Fortunately I don't have a lot to do tomorrow. Good #tzaf, #fediverse! I hope you all have/had a terrific day!

I've heard enough chatter in recent history that `pushd` and `popd` are essentially to be used exclusively in scripts. i use the hell out of both of them as well as `dirs`. i am a meat script.

@chillicampari I suppose the bugs are thick there?

@ironchamber it was a hell of a storm. dan skoff said that we haven't had a tornado of that intensity since 2006.

Near miss with a tornado tonight (everybody's safe) and my phone battery was at 30% and I have no idea the state of my VHF/UHF #radio equipment. I have been slacking on my preparedness in the last few years. Guess it's time to check comms and supplies.

Taking a minute to appreciate how damn resilient my services/servers in the house are at the moment. They're all deployed slipshod and manually, too. Despite some annoyances, we've come a long way with software.

@morph greetz! Have a lovely day!

Up probably too late thanks to the vidya games but I got to play with some friends I haven't played with in a while. Had fun. Good #tzaf, #fediverse! Have a quality day/evening!

@s0 Ventoy is awesome and more people need to know about it for sure!

Good #tzag, #fediverse! 💕

I think I might end up on the job hunt again due to some recent news. Doing what I can to avoid it but just in case I figured I'd cast this post into the void.

I've got a varied skill set. Mostly infosec, devops, and backend dev type stuff. I prefer smaller shops but I can find a stride almost anywhere. The only thing I avoid heavily is JavaScript and frontend webdev.

Here's my resume, boosts appreciated but not necessary: https://hobbsc.sdf-us.org/cmhobbs_resume.md

@silkevicious i already have one on the light switch that controls the outlet this is plugged into for the same reason, ha!
