Officiated my last baseball game of the season. You probably have never felt the depth of self-loathing that I did tonight for having to call a start-and-stop balk on a poor 12-year-old pitcher to walk in the winning run of the game. 😮‍💨

Hanging up my umpire face mask until May 2026.

Fighting for privacy rights is fighting against fascism. In case there were any doubts that mass surveillance is a fascist's tool.

Privacy isn't some secondary luxury, it's fundamental to democracy and civil liberties.

Some botfarm is aggressively crawling lore.kernel.org pretending to be b4 in the user-agent, except that real b4 has a very distinct usage pattern, so it's easy for me to recognize and ban them.

Dear [SENDER],

I came upon your message in my [EMAIL PROVIDER] inbox. I was really impressed by your [USE OF TEMPLATING], but it looks like [YOUR LLM OF CHOICE] didn't follow your [PROMPT OR LACK THEREOF].

Please accept my sincerest [CREATIVE EQUIVALENT OF EATING A BUCKET OF D*CKS].

Oh my god, auto-dubbing is the worst feature of youtube. Please, for the love of whatever, give me an option to exclude languages from this horrible auto-dubbing crap.

The problem with working on the LLM thread summarization feature is that I have no idea if its output is any good, because I'm not a kernel programmer -- and even if I were, I wouldn't know enough about that particular subsystem.

I may start a service where I send follow-ups to some series asking maintainers to rate the summary ollama generates.

Jeg klarte det. Ikke helt sikker på hvorfor jeg fortsetter med å lære norsk, men jeg fortsetter. :) Kanskje fordi det er awesome. 😎

I've replaced my previous AI slop profile picture with another AI slop profile picture. Do not be alarmed.

(Yes, I'm sitting in a meeting.)

I almost stopped learning Norwegian when I found out that they call gums "tooth meat" (tannkjøtt).

This concludes this morning's linguistic exercise, brought on by waiting on `dnf update` to complete.

I know many people hate the word "moist," but I get similarly visceral reaction to "growth."

For what it's worth, I loathe them both.
