I'm umpiring 11 games in the span of 7 days. I now deeply understand Deakin's dialog line in this clip.

Just a regular reminder that the war isn't over, civilians are still murdered in their homes by cruise missiles, and war crimes are committed daily by the invasion force occupying the sovereign territory of Ukraine.

Until the 1991 borders are restored, all war criminals are in jail, and reparations are paid off, I will continue to #StandWithUkraine, and so should you.

To me, the word "applet" means your disk starts churning for 30 seconds, and then there's a grey box on the page that doesn't do anything.

To you, the word "applet" means:
45% Any small embeddable application
40% A java applet
13% What the heck is an "applet"?

Going through Ansible tutorials. Thus far, it's mostly ansible-lint yelling at me.

"It was unicode" is a Pythonista's version of "it was DNS."

My kid spent the last 5 days building an ALU emulator in Minecraft with redstone and switches. Predictably, I've come up with a lot of "I think I just saw an actual spectre in your CPU" jokes, but thus far failed to execute them.

Not sure what's causing it yet, but our primary mirror replication speeds are down to 20Mbps from the usually healthy 4-5 Gbps. I don't think it's anything on our end, so I'll try to flag our Equinix support overlords.

If you find that mirrors.edge.kernel.org is lagging behind, that would be why.

As someone who has regretted naming something "b4" due to how hard it is to reliably search, I have to giggle at naming something "x".

@vathpela Parents get understandably cautious when there's someone taking pictures of their kids, even in a public setting. In Quebec, the laws are very hostile to street photography, so the only time I can take pictures at my kids' games is if I swear to all parents that I will never share the pictures publicly.

I am umpiring 7 games in 6 days this week. Thankfully, not all of them behind the plate, otherwise I think my squatting muscles would give out by Friday.

@adb That intersection is notoriously terrible and should have been reworked ages ago, but it's constantly at the mercy of budget cuts.

I actually thought this was further down the road where there is an actual roundabout -- hence my confusion.

Actually, it's not a roundabout -- it's just doing something else equally stupid that's just a fault of the algorithm. Sorry, Google.

Yes, Google, that's exactly how roundabouts work.

Ask fedi: There are a few "raspi-like" boards built with riscv, but a) is there a decently working one, and b) is there a raspbian-like distro to go with it?

@ljs continued rays of support! A lighter strip on this zebra of life will surely come.

Dang, a tornado warning for Montreal. That's a first.
