I keep thinking that I should text a friend of mine, tell him how much I've been writing, tell him I mentioned him in something I wrote. Then I remember he died like 4 years ago.
Edit:
It must have been more like 6 or something now that I'm thinking about it. It was part of the way through the first Trump administration. He would have really appreciated the way Trump is unraveling now. One of the last times we talked he was like... "You know man, You used to play 'Baby, I'm an anarchist' and I'd think... ' don't want to throw a brick through a Starbucks window. I kinda like their coffee sometimes.' But the way things have been going lately, I'm kind of looking around and thinking you might be right. Fuck Starbucks. Where's that brick?"
At least I won the SRV vs the Hendrix version of Voodoo Chile debate. Hendrix is just better.
We used to talk about music, especially punk (and rockabilly, and ska, and 2 tone), and poetry, and beer. He liked hop stupid, but I always thought it didn't have the body to match the hops and I always preferred Racer 5. Of course, this time of year we'd be shifting in to red and stout season, and I'd be excited for Lagunitas Russian Imperial and this year's Bourbon County Stout batch.
He was really big in to Star Wars. He missed all of Andor, which is probably the best thing to have come out since the original 3. But I guess he also missed the new trilogy, so maybe it balances out.
He would have really liked all the good music I've run across in the last few years. He had a music blog for a bit.
Yeah... I don't know why it's hitting me so hard now, other than maybe I never had time to really process it before.
Holy crap #soundcloud I don't know how a #website can be more off-putting.
I just wanted to listen to a music clip.
I’ve been hesitant to share this since the post is strictly visuals sans alt text, but I think the examples it shows are worth it for those who are designing GUIs.

Which version best conveys the message "ISO 8601. Every over date/time format is inferior"?
Based on different versions of the original logo I made multiple attempts. One of them will become a sticker. White on red, Blue on White or White on Blue?

As I said previously, I do, do ❤️ ridges... This was six days ago, on almost the last day of autumn (meanwhile it's all white)...

Something is broken in the #dotnet CLI tooling, specifically the cert tool. It can't seem to access localhost certificates, but it's happy to keep creating and installing new ones.
I can't even anymore... I'm so tired.
Note: It could also be Apple's fault with a Tahoe update. Who knows anymore? 🤷♂️

Many #Terraform providers using SSH do not check the SSH host key... they just run with ssh.InsecureIgnoreHostKey...
And to be honest, it is partly the fault of the SSH standard library which makes it super easy to ignore the host key and does not provide any useful builtin key verification function. People are lazy. ssh.FixedHostKey is niche.
So I implemented a small library to v…
