I helped someone with a tmux config. It’s been a while since I’ve used tmux but I’ve since realized it’s better to copy paste tmux list-keys into tmux.conf and reset all shortcuts (for debugging).

tmux list-keys

The help menu (tmux list-keys -N) displays shortcuts with bind-key -N "description".

Turns out (rather gleefully) that I was proven wrong. Spooky competition did its thing and now I have two fiber links. One is symmetrical.

I think ISPs should compete more strategically with Starlink by looking into WISPs (fixed wireless + WiGig). Many of the out islands have limited to no banking. At home, everyone’s best friends with Starlink.

Sandboxing in systemd? I would’ve shown my (somewhat manual) method but then I was strolling through the GitHub and saw shh (systemd hardening helper). It uses strace to generate suggestions. You’ll need to be extremely careful, playing inside a sandbox summons debugging hell. I tried it briefly.

I’ve been catching up. Speed-reading two years worth of tech media is like reading about a war at 10x the speed. You have four quotes in your quiver (this is a math problem now). At what angle(s) would you draw your title bow to inflict the greatest pangs of outrage?

I’ve gotten used to hearing a certain phrase. “You can’t trust the AI” to not make mistakes. That’s how you know; they kind of did it. Imagine there’s a box and that box is orange.

Someone takes that orange box, calls it a black box, declares that orange is the new black, points to another orange box and tells you to open up that black box. Can you … no questions asked? If so, then you might have mathematical powers (or color blindness).

I was thinking the other day that when I first saw CSS, my initial question was, “Why is everything not important?” And, I was told that’s not (not) important. Shared abstractions; they drive on parkways and park on driveways.

Why dabble with Firefox? Everything is customizable. How long will this be so? Who knows. E.g, I have custom stylesheets that hide comments everywhere (Firefox/Chrome) among other things. “Experts” only?

Scam and spam emails these last few years have been mixing up those metaphors.

Have you heard of Pegasus?

I’m some kind of God who sees everything. However, don’t panic. As we know, God is merciful and forgiving, and so do I. But my mercy is not free.

Just google “buy coin” and then it will be no harder than buying some useless stuff on Amazon.

I think they lost most of their targets by starting off with a reference to the thoroughbred flying dutchman.

This graph is from Grafana. It’s moreso for developer operations. I used to use qtiplot for random stuff, but nowadays I use gnuplot for scriptability (not GNU, see demos). Then, there’s Microsoft Excel et al.

I’ve been offloading some books. There’s an interesting book on Restaveks called Restavec by Jean–Robert Cadet with the more localized cover.

It’s probably still read here in schools. I know some hate it, not because it’s bad, but because reality competes with absurdist fiction.

The remaining cracks, inevitably exposed by time, will probably be unpalatable to those in a happier century from now.

It turns out that I’m not that smart. Supposedly, if you can make links (or citations) of sufficient fidelity (and precision), then you may have outed yourself out (as a human). And here I thought I was doing an excellent job pretending to be a bot.

At the peak of my fame, I had 500,000+ bots following in my wake spoofing everything underneath the sun. Offering up jason as a sacrifice was not enough.
