THIS IS NOT ROCKET SCIENCE!
I think the SFTP server is down again. Expected files not in our INBOX and it happens on a semi-regular basis and usually after a weekend.
On my Linux box I had a very simple CHRON setup to run a specific BASH script. On my work WIN11 machine I have automated running a specific program every Monday morning checking for a specific item.
It should be trivial to do the same on the servers instead of buying software to verify that the servers are w…

When used as an adjective, it's not "greenlit". It should be "green-lighted". Lit is the past-tense verb, usually. Things that wind me up. #english #american

“When you click “verify” on LinkedIn, you’re not giving your passport to LinkedIn. You get redirected to a company called Persona. Full name: Persona Identities, Inc. Based in San Francisco, California.
LinkedIn is their client. You are the face being scanned.
I had never heard of Persona before this. Most people haven’t. That’s kind of the point — they sit invisibly between you and the platforms you trust.”

- mein Shepherd's Pie kam gut an und war mal eine gute Alternative zum traditionellen Kartoffelsalat mit Würstchen; wenn ich es noch mal koche, grabe ich mit einer Gabel aber deutlichere Berge und Täler in den Kartoffel/Rüben/Cheddar-Brei, damit er schöner bäckt und bräunt
- Singen im Gottesdienst und Christmette
- verhältnismäßig harmonischer He…

Shepherd's Pie in einer Auflaufform aus Glas. Nur noch wenige Stücke sind übrig. Goldfarbene Kartoffelbreidecke auf Mischung aus Hackfleisch, Karotten, weißen Bohnen, Zwiebeln, Erbsen, Rosmarin. Rechts im Bild der vordere Teil eines Esslöffels und der vordere Teil eines Holzschabers, der vorne von der häufigen Benutzung dunkler verfärbt ist. Zwei Korkuntersetzer scheinen durch den Boden der Form durch. Die Holz-Tischplatte darunter ist braun. Rechts ist ein weißer Teller mit rot-hellblauer flor…

Just got these messages from @seengoals@mastodon.social, one of the members of Gaza Verified, basically accusing me of running a fundraiser for Gaza and keeping the proceeds (I have no fundraiser on any fundraising site anywhere) and extorting me to share his fundraiser or he’ll apparently go public with it.
So here’s what’s going to happening instead: Nabil has been removed Gaza Verified (

Screenshot of Signal message from Nabil Zaqout to me. The full text is in the alt text of the Mastodon screenshots apart from this section: Do you think I believed you when I asked you why you were doing this to the people of Gaza, and you told me we're all human and we empathize with each other? Your answer was my first suspicion and the beginning of my analysis, but I remained silent until I got what I wanted. Do you think I believed you when you said you wanted to use Single instead of Whats…
Screenshot of direct message from Nabil: Nabil @10h @seengoals@mastodon.social @aral Don't test my intelligence or make me angry. I want to vent my anger on those who stole from us, our donations, and our lives personally, and I don't want to describe it any further. I just want a clear and straightforward answer. I don't want any other talk. Will you support this campaign of mine: chuffed.org/project/urgent-nab... or not?
Private Mastodon message from Nabil to me: @ 10h. @seengoals@mastodon.social @aral I know what this campaign is that appears to be for someone from Gaza, and it's basically for you personally. I analyzed it, and it's for someone supposedly from Rafah, who knows nothing about it. I'm currently in Egypt, and this is my campaign: chuffed.org/project/urgent-nab... I've discovered that more than one celebrity who supposedly supports the people of Gaza is actually exploiting this to create a campaig…
Three private messages from Nabil to me: • 10h @seengoals@mastodon.social @aral I certainly won't tell you the details of the conclusive evidence for what I'm saying, so you don't delete it and protect yourself. I'll just give you clear hints. If you want to verify what I'm saying, simply ignore me again, and you'll see the evidence in the media and trending topics. @ Private mention Nabil @seengoals@mastodon.social @aral & of course, I'll release a video myself to explain everything and show …

Oh the joys of a mainframe upgrade.
Defining what type of testing is needed and specific test cases to verify that all functionality for the system is available.
Also, a short briefing note for the upcoming board meeting to describe what is being done, why, when, where the backup will be running from, who is doing what portions and how we verify that it all went smoothly.
It should go smoothly (famous last words), but we will verify that the upgrade was completed and comp…

Grr and argh.
The people who make government websites generally tend to do a halfway decent job of meeting the spec, but they really really need to learn to push back when the spec is FUCKING STUPID.

Another Western influencer has once again taken up the tired habit of recycling bourgeois narratives about Otto Warmbier and the DPRK. These discussions rarely move beyond ideological framing, serving more to reaffirm Western imperialist talking points than to uncover truth.
When Otto Warmbier was returned to the United States in a coma, his parents refused to permit an autopsy, effectively blocking a conclusive medical investigation into the cause of his condition. Even without verifi…

The New York Times, AP, RCFP, and other media organizations back an effort to block a new Texas law requiring app stores to verify users' ages (Wendy Davis/MediaPost)

New York Times, AP, Others Ask Court To Block Texas Law Restricting App Downloads
"The Act renders wide swaths of speech at the very heart of the First Amendment's protection presumptively off limits to minors when accessed through apps -- a critical channel of distribution for news organizations," news organizations argue in a proposed friend-of-the-court brief filed Wednesday with U.S. District Court Judge Robert Pitman in Austin.
