A joke from my 12-year-old:

Q: What is the difference between a stormtrooper and a constipated owl?
A: One shoots but can't hit, the other hoots but can't...woops, dad is listening.

Day 3 without power. :( The outage map is still looking very orange around my part of Montreal, so no saying when this will change. Sigh.

No power, no data at home. Send me some internets with Canada Post.

So, there are a few power outages around Montreal.

Like most of Montreal, I am without power this afternoon. Still have some juice in the laptop, but will probably have to turn off early tonight.

ChatGPT is hilariously bad at baseball rules, so I say we ban it because it's clearly unamerican.

Well, at least ChatGPT is just as wrong about this as most coaches.

(No, the ball is not dead after infield fly is called.)

> As a ‘Linux’ Foundation Fellow or a Principal Developer, taking charge of kernel.org only indirectly (a Russian person handles most of the infrastructure; someone from the Ural region), does Torvalds have much of a say on what to use for E-mail in the ‘Linux’ Foundation (using a trademark he controls)?

LOL, I missed the inane ramblings of Roy Schestowitz.

New level of irony -- an "IP reputation" company that has put one of our mail hosts on the "spam list" sends HTML-only mail that triggers a score of 10 from SpamAssassin.

Pet peeve -- when OS-packaged software checks for new releases (e.g. by fetching latest tags from GH) and nags you to update it. If you add this feature in, please add some kind of check to only enable it for when the end-user has control over such things (or don't add it at all, because this is always annoying).

I'm going to let bugbot run over the weekend and then share some details about how to use it with others.

If your state-issued ID has a "sex" field, then technically you live in a state that maintains a genital registry.

Feel free to share that with your conservative friends.

Some of the best people I've known were trans and enbies.

Today, we're bidding farewell to codeaurora.org. It had a good run, but all projects have moved on to other platforms.

Good bye, good friend, and thanks for all the fish.

/me carefully, gingerly, with some cringing, enables bugbot on the first valid-looking bug and waits for results.
