Dear Reaper Man: I appreciate your efforts to snag a particular 80-year-old --

Polishing the #openzfsmastery chapter on zvols and virtualization, and came across this:

"Windows in particular has low distress tolerance."

It's rare that I write a perfect sentence, but it does happen.

"If you have no ability to add actual storage, sparse volumes are like cocaine: they let you avoid an immediate capacity problem while creating a much larger future problem. Avoid them." #openzfsmastery #nonotryagain

The Lords of Acid are on tour?

My misspent 90s called, they'd like me to come visit.

A couple days ago, Spider-Man punched a Nazi in the face.

Here's his defense fund.

At least once a week.

Forget a logo for your exploit.

Your language needs a theme song. Preferably metal.

We no longer know how to build IMAX projectors.

Thank you, capitalism.

Besides, all Real Men(tm) carry duct tape on their persons at all time. Right next to the WD-40.

Every men's room should be stocked with tampons and pads at all times.

After all, tampons and pads are very useful for treating gunshot wounds. Gunshot wounds are very manly. Let people be manly.

The bonsai, it has sprouted!

Gonna name her "Banzai!"

@phessler Both sides of my family have been in the US for multiple generations, sadly.

Researching countries to reliably emigrate to, where I can work as a writer and I can provide an way station for friends who must leave the US in a hurry. (I know, I know, "the midterms will fix everything," but I want to prepare.)

Many countries that are advertised as expat-friendly require resources I lack.

I keep winding up with the same list: Netherlands and Thailand.

I have friends in the Netherlands, but housing is challenging and Dutch is notoriously difficult to learn. I could probably manage it financially, but am concerned about those who would follow me.

Thailand is cheap and they welcome anyone but the weather... holy crap, the weather.

"Just leave the US." Ha!

@lproven The author of this piece does not understand the point or purpose of MIT/BSD licensing.

@jens @lproven

The purpose of the BSD license is to improve the minimum quality of software for core functions.

If you can't write a better TCP/IP stack than that in a BSD, don't. Just use ours. Or a better filesystem than UFS, or any number of other things.

People benefit, and people are the priority.
