Being a touch typist, this would pose next to zero problems for me. Other than when I reach for a lesser used symbol and double-think it and get myself into trouble. What is the cuniform for open squiggle bracket anyways? RE: universeodon.com/users/PapaTonyInSD/statuses/114713741988530227

Still salty that we got Picard instead of #StarTrekAway: On Stardate 58197.2 a crack First Contact unit was sent to prison by a Starfleet court for a Prime Directive violation they didn't commit. These beings promptly escaped from a maximum security ice moon stockade to the Bajorran underground […]

The more you try to make a service highly available and resilient to outages, the more complex it becomes to manage it all. Eventually there is always some random bit that isn’t working quite right and you spend so much time on it all. This is a reason why I don’t run public access instances […]

Seeing news articles weekly, if not more frequently, about begging Canadians to please come to the USA and spend money. No. Fuck that noise. #ElbowsUp

Remember back in the 80s where you had dust covers for computers, including keyboards and screens, because they got turned off for a good portion of the time (like when sleeping, at school/work, etc? Also, no eating at the computer desk. Well. I have peanut butter on my laptop. I may or may […]

How many run time hours do you have on your drives? My desktop's direct attached thunderbolt array has about 72K hours under its belt. I run a scrub every 6 months or so and haven't found any bad blocks yet. It's also backed up on a regular schedule.

Airport security theatre today decided my tiny beard scissors with 1/4 or shorter blades with super obvious blunt tips tips were not ok to take on a plane. Even after I stabbed my palm quite hard without breaking the skin. Can’t even open wide enough to cut anything more than a baby finger […]
