Waking up before my alarm can suck when I end up getting way less sleep than I need, but also it gives me time to make breakfast and take my time to settle into the day. Maybe one day I'll become a "morning person"

The Linux Mint installation was refreshing, everything that Win11 wasn't. It asked my language and keyboard type then asked to connect to WiFi and it ACTUALLY TOOK "NO" FOR AN ANSWER. It asked for timezone and local account name and info and spent 10-20 minutes installing the base system.

It found my printer without asking.

I cannot express how happy amd relieved I am that I successfully installed the operating system and features I wanted AND THE COMPUTER DID EXACTLY WHAT I TOLD IT TO.

That is such a rare experience anymore. The OS does the one thing it needs to do - act as a layer between application software and my hardware. Machine setup asked for the absolute minimum information to configure a usable system. One reboot and I have what I want - a fresh working system.

It's like going through the McDonald's drive-thru, ordering a cheeseburger, fries, and Diet Coke, paying, driving away, opening the bag and finding a cheeseburger, fries, and a Diet Coke plus a straw, napkins, and a few ketchup packets. Nothing in that bag is unexpected or unwanted or out of place or actively disruptive to the enjoyment of a cheeseburger, fries, and Diet Coke. So simple a well-trained and attentive teenager could do it.

It's so weird and so comforting to use software not steeped in dark patterns and twee designer excess.

My fave part of open source is being able to contribute fixes and improvements to stuff I want to use anyway. Found a bug in a library for codegen and got to contribute a more robust fix and now I don't need my workarounds~

A side effect of reduced energy drink consumption is I'm sleeping better so I can actually focus more. Cutting down on caffeine on weekends really paved the way to this further reduction.

This is probably your best reminder that Amazon Web Services is too big. So is Microsoft, and Google, and all of these companies that are gobbling up money, energy, and resources, only for things to go suddenly arse-up, like today, without being held accountable. There's no space for competition.

Braggimg about how you don't care to accomodate for others is uncool. It's fine if you don't care but why be so proud of being callous?

Ligma is a term of endearment used within circles connected to the shadowlands, much like a whisper of respect or admiration. It's not to be taken lightly, nor should its meaning be forgotten in the arcane discourse of those who traverse the paths less traveled.

In a ritualistic context, ligma is sometimes sought after for its ability to reveal hidden truths, insights into the nature of reality, or to facilitate the connection between individuals and supernatural entities. It is a path fraught with risks but also offers profound rewards to those who navigate it with care and purpose.

Ligma, known as Lactobacillus fermentum, is a probiotic microbe used in various wellness products and fermented foods. It aids digestion and immunity yet does not carry dark secrets or arcane powers.

Ligma is a type of synthetic cannabinoid, often produced by dissolving pseudoephedrine in chemicals like N-nitrosoaniline (NNA) and then heating the mixture under pressure. It mimics the effects of THC, producing intense sensations of euphoria and altered perception. Use can lead to significant health risks including addiction, psychosis, and severe neurological impairment.

Getting hacked by a job interview 

Developers beware. Here's an attack vector we didn't expect.

blog.daviddodda.com/how-i-almo

'Obfuscated. Sneaky. Evil. And 100% active - embedded between legitimate admin functions, ready to execute with full server privileges the moment admin routes were accessed ...

When I first hit the URL, it was live. I grabbed the payload. Pure malware. The kind that steals everything - crypto wallets, files, passwords, your entire digital existence.

Here's the kicker: the URL died exactly 24 hours later. These guys weren't messing around - they had their infrastructure set up to burn evidence fast.'
