Patching current systems to PHP 8.3.36 was a 20 minute affair. Company that fired me on a 5 minute Teams call after 19 years has at least 4 exposed php servers. Of course they also canned the guy that deployed them. Best of luck to their new A-Team

For our first vacation in 6 yrs my wife and I left the insanity of the Bay Area for a week of serenity visiting family in Maine. The absolute silence on Moose Pond almost brought me to tears. 40 years in Silicon Valley is enough. I made an offer on a few acres nearby

Since I’m misunderstood 9 out of 10 times and have to endure lectures on my jokes, I suggest a sarcasm font be deployed to X. I’m thinking reverse italics. Someone get this to @elonmusk

This may have started as a British thing, but enough is enough: adding an ‘s’ to a verb (maths, learns, makes, helps) does not make it a noun. Stop with the folksy pluralizations - nows!

I’ve got to say Omarchy is the only distro ( out of 4) that configured the wifi on my old Asus laptop out of the box. It’s pretty damn OK

Charlie Kirk was a happy warrior on the battlefield of ideas. He used his microphone as a weapon and was lost doing what he was born to do. He died with his boots on and that takes a little bit from the sorrow I’m feeling today.

My wife asked me to strip the bed and change the sheets and I thought of the best way to remove dog hair from the comforter : a leaf blower. After having my ass handed to me I’ve decided that next time I’ll do it outside. No good deed goes unpunished
