pointer decay: you hate to see it.

or you love to see it.

it depends on what your role is, I guess.

A lot of the worst corporations out there have brilliant engineers working for them. It's a shame their talent is wasted on (mostly) evil shit.

You did not, in fact, "make a thing." You voluntold a chatbot to do it for you and took the credit.

"Did you use an LLM to document this?"

"How could you tell?"

"It looks like a fucking Stephen King novel that fell in a porta potty. I ain't readin' all that, pal."

Using the right lubricants for things that move and are supposed to continue moving is very important. WD-40 is usually not this lubricant. To me, it's for breaking a nut/bolt loose and even then, there's better stuff.

I had extremely squeaky hinges on my studio door and I had tried a teflon lubricant, but that eventually dries up. It turns out that all I needed was sewing machine oil. Just a few drops and working it in. Those hinges haven't made a peep in weeks.

Hearing about very young furries trying to start shit on Twitter/X and TikTok against kinks like ageplay/ABDL is exhausting. To quote Master Shake: "I am thirty or forty years old, and I do not need this."

But I can't help but talk about it for a moment anyway because I just want to get out here and make people aware of why this is a bigger deal than it appears right now at this exact period in time thanks to the shitstorm of a political landscape.

if you just recently created a website with TLS certs from an official CA and you immediately find slop bots crawling it in your web logs... it's probably because of certificate transparency logs.

you bet your ass they're constantly watching and parsing those logs to find new sites to steal data from so they can sell it back to you later.

"Tell us why you're deleting your account."

Me: "no."

"It needs to be at least ten characters."

Me: "noooooooo."
