I don’t understand the horrible replies you’ve received but yes. My partner and I (both in our 40s) usually play some games after dinner before bed. Some people doomscroll, some watch reality TV, we play games. It’s how we decompress and I say do what you enjoy.

For me it was Fifty Shades of Grey and after someone noticed it when it was on my desk in the office I paid the fee to remove the ads 🤣

Aah the good old days when SSL required extra licensing on your load balancers for both the base feature and throughput.

Yep, late 2000s at least. Around 2008 I ran an experiment and checked a bunch of domains that were available. Within a week they were all registered and for sale. If you let a domain expire with them thinking you’ll just grab it again after redemption they keep those too.

Hana didn’t waste any time moving upstairs and taking over our bed after Sybil passed. This is how I woke up this morning.

This week Claude took it upon itself to trawl through my file system to find API credentials and executed calls against a production API when I was using it to write a function. While I probably shouldn’t have had those keys in another file, they were also outside the directory tree I run AI tooling in so this quite frankly is unacceptable especially as this wasn’t the API endpoint I was creating the function for to begin with. If you have API keys lying around your filesystem then go clean them up because they now seem to be fair game to Claude. I remove keys from my scratch scripts once done (they’re also not in a repo and don’t leave my machine) but I think I’ll use environment variables only from now on. I’ve been enjoying not having to babysit Claude with the auto classifier but stuff like this makes me think I should go back to manual. In the meantime my settings file has been set to block access to env files and also reads outside the current working directory. Claude isn’t happy about it and snarkily complains about its new restrictions but that’s too bad. The next breach of trust like this will have Claude run in a dedicated VM.

Dear @1Password . I tried to sign up to your forum but apparently my name contains restricted text and it won't let me join, so I will post here instead. This latest update that requires double confirmation to save an entry that doesn't have a website in it is the worst change you have made in the 10+ years I've been using your product. People use your product for more than website logins. I have everything from license keys to service accounts on systems and I do not want a website listed with them, nor do I auto fill those. While I get what you're doing, please make this a configurable setting as I almost lost a changed service account credential the first time because I didn't notice it hadn't saved.

Me at 16 when I was seated away from my family on a flight: “oh what a shame. I’ll see you at the gate on the other end”. It was my last chance to be alone before spending every moment with them on the trip. The teen was probably just as thrilled.

Mark is a great speaker and all-round lovely guy. I don’t do much with WP these days but it looks like a great event!

As someone who has been on well over 1,000 flights and goes to the loo on landing almost every time I can confirm this is a thing. It is… odd.

It was bad enough when I had a Cisco ISR in my home office. I couldn’t imagine having to work with servers next to me not to mention the thought of permanent hearing damage. There’s a reason I always wore earplugs when I worked in datacentres. You can’t hear our GarageDC from anywhere in the house unless the internal door is open, but you can from the street. There’s two more servers (another Dell R630 and a Cisco UCS C240), a Definity PBX, and a Cisco AS5350 in the rack since this photo but thanks to the wonders of 10Gbps Ethernet it’s just my music and my thoughts while working in the home office. The enclosure around the rack is just a portable greenhouse but it has aircon that kicks in if it’s too warm which is a must here as it reaches 48c in summer so it’s never more than 25c in the rack. It was supposed to be temporary until we got a permanent solution for cooling but it’s worked so well we’ve kept it. With gigabit fiber Internet and a 3000VA UPS we can also host things from home too.

14 for me, but my favourite Sydney restaurants aren’t even on that list. That also means the influencers haven’t discovered them yet either. Completely missed Quay closing earlier in the year. Not my fav but enjoyable. I still miss Tetsuya’s.

Oh wait in a coffee machine. Eww. I misread (I’m out) and thought it was hotel laundry 🤣

I did once on a two week trip because I forgot to grab mine from the dryer before leaving. They came back in a box pressed and wrapped in tissue paper. It was the fanciest packaging those Bonds undies have probably ever seen 🤣

Without fail every single one of them declaring x is dead and you must embrace AI is flogging their shitty AI product. They even have the same profile photo style.

In Australia after the bartender got over their surprise at what you’re asking for, that would get you basically the same. Tequila, soda water, and sprite. They’d likely have lemon syrup/cordial behind the bar but not lemonade in the American sense.

I learned about their existence watching Mr Bean where he has to top up his meter to turn the lights on. youtu.be/vZOJMZEITzg

Yeah I've done it too, just need to make sure the crew know so you don't lose your meal choice! I've even guested them into the lounge when connecting to the same flight. But asking a revenue passenger to move especially to a lower cabin is a definite policy violation.

Happened to me once but only on domestic. The crew overheard my laughter and it ended up being quite the drama because they were on staff travel so the CSM had to do a formal report about it. Left with a tasty bottle of GSM though so not all bad. xitter.gq/swewing/status/2023880…

I first encountered it in Jakarta about 10 years ago. A friend of mine who works in hotels said the reason they’re doing it is to discourage room sharing. Doesn’t bother me if alone or with my partner but I wouldn’t share a room like that with a friend or family.
