Baseball to the face, day 2
Show content
I was honestly expecting it to be much worse today than this. I got hit right on my cheek bone from close distance, hard enough to momentarily black out. I did apply ice almost immediately, so perhaps that made all the difference. Or maybe the worst of it is still to come in the next few days.

Who got hit in the face by a baseball? This guy. Pictures when I get pretty colours and a black eye to rival Arthur Morgan after that bar fight in Valentine.

Hell hath no fury like a boomer mildly inconvenienced by having to consider the wellbeing of future generations.

My crazy week is over. I've been to Vancouver, gave a talk, came back, went to a tri-district scout camp, played some silly scout games, participated in a travois race, and finally came back home, all merely in 6 very full days.

Next week, quiet times.

If you want to be a girl you can be a girl.

If you want to be a dude you can be a dude.

If you want to be neither you can be neither.

You’re allowed. Fuck anybody who tries to tell you otherwise.

Didn't realize I was sitting next to André Almeida on the airplane ride to YVR (of the FUTEX subsystem fame, not of the FUTBOL fame).

After a few starts and stops over the past few years, we have finally started migrating lists from the venerable vger system running on majordomo+zmailer onto a more modern stack (mlmmj+postfix). We're doing it list by list to reduce disruption and make sure that the new setup is able to take the load, but the hope is to complete the migration over the next few months and finally put the old vger to rest.

Thus far, we have migrated netdev and bpf and things are looking good and stable. We'll give it a week or two to make sure we don't hit any weird corner cases and then get going with others.

Not sure what's happening today, but Firefox took 5 minutes to open a window. Feels like some kind of DNS problem, but I can't for the life of me figure it out. Once it opens, it works just fine.

Got the bulk of my #lssna slides completed today.

Now I just need to sprinkle some memes all over them.

This is a regular reminder that Russian military is still dropping high-yield explosives onto Ukrainian homes, killing women and children.

This is not f'n okay.

Well, I found the guilty party and the murder weapon. Not naming any names, but posting this here as a recipe of how to be very abusive to a git server.
