someone brutalized me on chinese social media and said (of a photo where you can see my Switch setup against my red living room wall) my house looks like the Switch Store if that's the case, then Nintendo should send me, y'know, a Switch 2 for demonstration purposes...

I'm on day four of an insomnia crisis. Yesterday I was at a medical center for several hours to get some very unpleasant tests done on my nervous system. I missed Odin so much while I was there. I was so glad to come home to him. I was so glad open my eyes […] [Original post on infosec.exchange]

I’ve mentioned before that there’s a poodle in this neighborhood who despises Odin and pulled the elderly lady walking him to the ground to chase Odin. Fortunately, they don’t live in our building… … but I opened my front door to take Odin on a walk and the poodle was sitting right there […]

General PSA: don’t apply for a job at Canonical. Do NOT apply for a job at Canonical. Treat the blatantly artificially enormous number of job openings they post as the mirages of trickster fae. They are unhinged. Mark Shuttleworth is unhinged. They will drag you through the mud, disrespect you […]

Today we encountered a wolf hound who wasn’t much smaller than Odin. He tolerated a bit of snuffling, but when Odin tried to cuddle him, the wolf hound snapped and attacked him for realsies. Everyone’s okay (if only because Odin’s fur is so thick!) but that was a very scary ten seconds The wolf […]
