Technical debt collector and general hype-hater. Early 30s, non-binary, ND, poly, relationship anarchist, generally queer.
Sometimes horny on main (behind CW), very much into kink (bondage, freeuse, CNC, and other stuff), and believe it or not, very much a submissive bottom :p
Feel free to flirt, but if you want to actually meet up and/or do something with me, lewd or otherwise, please tell me explicitly or I won't realize :) I'm generally very open to that sort of thing!
Further boundaries: boosts are OK (including for lewd posts), DMs are open. But the devil doesn't need an advocate; I'm not interested in combative arguing in my mentions. I am however happy to explain things in-depth when asked non-combatively.
My spoons are limited, so I may not always have the energy to respond to messages.
Strong views about abolishing oppression, hierarchy, agency, and self-governance - but I also trust people by default and give them room to grow, unless they give me reason not to. That all also applies to technology and how it's built.

Does anyone have a physical copy of Edge #398 (July, Hades 2 cover) that can do me a solid?
I'm after a scan of page 14, first page of the As Dusk Falls article, around 1200 x 1500 in size. The digital PDF is missing it 😤

quickly writing a script that halts the system, setting up a systemd timer that runs it after 20 minutes, and deploying to all my NixOS machines in solidarity

@ryanc UA strings are like Game of Thrones lineages:
“Mozilla, fifth of their name, born to MSIE and Windows NT in the 6.2nd year of their reign; of fair complexion and compatible rendering. Parent to two children, their names being Gecko and Webkit. Died in their 24th year of wounds sustained in a corporate merger.”

Now's a good time to do that risky IT maintenance or downtime requiring work. You can just blame it on of many other outages going on

@babe Well... shitposting is the "band playing while titanic sinks" of our time, no?

Everybody: 😱 theoretical supply chain attacks in Open Source 🙀
Crowdstrike: Hold my beer, let's deploy on Friday 😎

I would just like to confirm to everyone that I absolutely DID NOT mishear #CrowdStrike as #CloudStrike this morning.
Definitely not.

Calling it “Clownstrike” is quite unfair to actual clowns, who are doing an honest job, aren’t harming anyone, and to the best of my knowledge aren’t currently engaged in a labor dispute

You know something bad is happening when all of the most steadfastly serious infosec people on here start shitposting

To be fair to Crowdstrike, they've probably stopped a lot of cyber attacks happening today

My current employer is imposing sexist clothing rules as a reaction to me wearing gender non-conforming clothes so now I am looking for potential new employers in the Netherlands or remote. I prefer smaller non-corporate organisations and working with free open-source software. I studied computer science and have about ten years experience in software development and system administration. I am familiar with many different technologies and can pick up new things quickly. #FediHire #GetFediHired
the Crowdstrike outage, politics
The news in NL: "the ATMs are still working, so it is still possible to withdraw money and pay in cash."
Yes, we've been trying to tell you this. But you insisted that digital payments were the future and anyone using cash is suspicious, remember?
"no politics in tech" commentary, slightly doom-y
Something that I don't think a lot of "no politics in my tech" people realize, is that their favourite tech pastimes (like DIY computer building and lots of other kinds of tinkering) are always just one stab of capitalism away from ceasing to exist, and there is nothing they can do about it as a single individual, as long as they don't recognize the underlying power dynamics

Not to mention that Fridays are the day off for a ton of Middle Eastern and North African countries, so you're also ruining the weekend for them.

Dear Crowdstrike, and all Americans:
Please stop deploying on Thursdays. They are our Fridays.
Love,
UTC+everyone.
