Chaotic Entropy

It’s going to be a fun historical period to look back on when there are just huge gaps where IP/product control became so powerful that no record of certain things were allowed to exist.

It’s the thing you only tell your “ride-or-die bitch” server.

The notifications in one of our systems is aligned with UTC because it needs to be for a whole bunch of background services to function. Periodically (every couple of years) someone raises a ticket to complain that the time of their notifications is an hour out, and the 2nd line support worker will think “well that’s easy, I’ll just change the server time to BST”. This then brings this whole suite of applications to a crashing halt as everything fails.

Peer reviewing your apologies is always important.

I feel like “just” is doing a lot of heavy lifting.

I’m on DietPi 9 and the latest version for Debian 12 is 1.17.1, sadly. Though I do see 1.19.1 is in testing as of today, according to Debian’s package tracker site. Probably not worth trying to install an unstable version of it.

In swoops the project team to sign a contract with a software vendor without any architectural or Product input, then expects you to implement changes for whatever the software does and however it works. They do not know.

If the parent refused medication for a disease that they were willing but unable to vaccinate the child against, that would be baffling. I can’t feasibly believe that this isn’t a belligerent, poorly informed parent being a reckless arsehole.

They’re in it for the thrill.

The fuck are you on/on about…

One time an asterisk came up to Trump, big asterisk, strong asterisk, tears streaming down its typeface and it said “Mr Trump, no president has ever been treated as poorly as you*”.

“Yes, I keep coming in to your house and punching you in the face… but don’t worry, I plan to make you leave your house and put you somewhere further away from me.”

“Did Gary tighten those bolts?”

“Wait, I told him that Dave was tightening those bolts.”

“😬”

“😬”

“I listen to the voice in my head, and it tells me to vote for the one that promises to fulfil my basest desires.”

Oh yeah. The border crisis. That’s the real kicker.

So many 2020 voters picked Biden for his border commitments.

Relying on the anti-Trump vote is pretty ineffectual with an anti-Biden vote growing.

I’m a little horrified by how few people mask up on flights now. Which is basically me and maybe one other, during the height of flu season and everything.

“But what if I become rich… I should vote against my best interests just in case.”

In terms of unrealised gains, that’s kind of a tricky one. They certainly do benefit massively from unrealised gains though, like anyone would on paper.

But how will we know who is better than who…? I don’t want to have to go back to judging people by their physical characteristics again.
