Trying to kill the 3 remaining wikis that we host. Wikis were a nice idea back in 2000's, but these days it's a constant struggle against spammers and AI farms that descend on your sites like locust and consume all resources until the system falls over.

When Donald says "jump," Elon says "how high?"

Truly, a thought leader.

Brevect like "brexit" but you actually evict them.

I am having an amusing and/or deranged conversation with someone who is trying to gaslight me into being ashamed for not knowing what a "brevect" is. (Also, their preferred mechanism for quoting emails in replies appears to be to cut-and-paste screenshots.)

So, what *is* a "brevect" about which the "kernel staff' should totally know? Let your imagination run wild, I'm curious.

The existence of "dream catchers" suggests that there are also "dream throwers."

Gotta say, if an unknown new printer shows up in my print dialog, my first thought won't be "cool, let's try printing to it."

Today's lesson: If a new printer shows up out of nowhere, don't print on it. 🥱

Oof, worked a full 9-inning game tonight because it's finals and the score was tied at the bottom of the 7th. Had to make a game-deciding safe/out call and good lord is that a tough thing to do while still jet lagged.

While the electric vehicle market is growing, Tesla sales have dropped 25 percent in California. Now half of new car buyers indicate, they would never choose Tesla, and the next three years could be much worse as existing car buyers will not again buy the Trump support car.

With lots of traveling recently, @mullvadnet and @tailscale have been my go-tos.

But, since I use Headscale, the native integration isn't available to me.

So I had to do it myself...

Lots of people thanked me for my work on b4 this week. It feels very nice, but I want to remind everyone that b4 wouldn't be possible without public-inbox. Please email Eric Wong (privately) and thank him for his work -- I am pretty sure he can use some good vibes.
