Heh, this dude emailed the helpdesk address at 4:40PM my time asking for a comment on a sensitive matter, and gave me a 2-hour turnaround to respond.

I've got to admit that ChatGPT 4o does a lot better at complex baseball scenarios than its predecessors. It still gives me invalid answers every now and again, but now they aren't nearly as frequent.

Just as a synth would do.

I'd like to know how someone can manage to find the helpdesk address on the kernel.org site, and yet not figure out that, you know, maybe it's not the site for the restaurant chain launched by the former Chipotle Mexican Grill CEO.

It has been a long time coming, but I've made it official:

"Daniel no longer answers questions on stackoverflow. Use a dedicated public curl forum for accurate and timely answers about anything . "

(yes, speaking about myself in 3rd person)

If instead of a trifecta of achievements you only manage to reach a single one, that's still a solid monofectum.

I'm so sorry if you're waiting on me! I am trying to get things down to something reasonable, but people just keep emailing me back and ruining my perfectly good downward trends. :)

Me: "please follow these steps to make it work"
Person: "but what if I don't and try to do it my own way?"
...(shortly after)...
Person: "help, I've tried everything and it's not working"

The big problem with Tesla that this article misses completely is that many of Tesla's most enthusiastic customers (like I once was) no longer want to support a person who is actively promoting hateful conspiracy theories and providing nazis and Russians with a platform to disrupt the upcoming U.S. election.

Just found out that my "Pixel 5a" actually isn't so much "5a", just "Pixel 5" -- which explains the conspicuous absence of security updates since last November.

I want all my phones to display "this device is no longer receiving security updates," whenever this happens in the future, thank you.

/me throws more money at Google for a Pixel 8, which just happens to be on sale right now.

I can't help you with your scam, but I feel bad that you can't even afford accented characters. Here, these are on me: é è à ç

Hope that helps!

In my parody video for the 2015 @LinuxSecSummit, I used the line "the older you get, the harder it will be to accept that all your old tools have been replaced by systemd." It was supposed to be a joke, people.

Hey, American college students, it would be helpful for the U.S., the world, Palestinians, and Israelis, if you would turn your attention to defeating Donald Trump in November. Read about his fascist plans in this recent extended interview with him. https://time.com/6972021/donald-trump-2024-election-interview/

Oh, yes, reftables made it into git! Still preliminary, but it's something I've been looking forward to for ages. Less so now that we don't run CAF repos with their bajillions of refs, but still exciting.

The blinding rage of settling down comfortably in your reclining armchair with your laptop, only to realize that you had left your Nitrokey in the bedroom in your other pants.
