Daymn. I thought a sunday evening would be a good time to open socials but all I have is market collapses in my feed. uhhh how about that... linux? yall? Nope? welp, this is what we get now. I hate it

We are not going anywhere. We always have been here and always will be. #TransDayOfVisibility

We are very lucky to have incredible women who make our team stronger and more resilient every day, 😍 Carla, Stella, Ame, Stephanie, Alyse, Laetitia - Thank you!

I need y'all to sit with this headline and understand what is being done to our community. They're trying to criminalize our very existence. This is a campaign of eradication. www.nbcnews.com/nbc-out/rcna...

I am still putting a bunch of work into my own site, including a "uses" page and a new article! Check it out squirrels.wtf/posts/2025-0...

This is what the government did with 120K+ Japanese Americans in 1942. I know. I was there in those camps.

‼️ The State Department has REMOVED TQIA+ on their page of recommendations for queer travelers. This page yesterday said "LGBTQIA+" and now just says "LGB". The federal government is trying to erase trans people from existence.

Buying a low end pair of Shure in ear monitors has made me think that the shift to wireless was a mistake.

Bots and trolls are two of the worst things to happen to the internet. Complete waste of time.

This is in no way the most egregious thing facebook has done in the last few weeks but this is by far the most confusing to me. How does this new "free speech" and "no censorship" agenda intersect with flagging everything linux? www.tomshardware.com/software/lin...

The more depressed I become the more I miss project and team management. I don’t know what to feel about that.

Putting a 🏳️‍⚧️ in my name here. Normally I don’t lead with “oh also I am trans” but it’s clear to me that this is what society needs me to do. It needs me to be very clear and open about my queerness.

My nerd hot take of the week More cli tools should have color output, and should let you force it on/off so I can pipe everything to bat in the end

Company layoff is impacting me, so I'm back on the market ya'll. I'm actively looking for DevOps/SRE/OSS and adjacent type positions as an IC or manager. Ideally, I want to build dope stuff with dope people. <3

I just saw HOPE is scheduled within a week of DefCon this year. weLP looks life DefCon is canceled for reals. Part of me wants to know why 2600 would book over a group as petty as frat party hackers but far more of me does not care.

The future of AI is whatever makes them the most money.

I have been thinking a lot about how 2024 is the year Obsidian got "boring," and how that is a good thing. When I first got into obsidian every plugin I touched was updated many times a week and app updates were flowing too. Now it's monthly updates for either at best.

I just don’t get the hype about Ghostty at all. It is good… but not losing my mind clickbait title posting good. it doesn’t even compete with wezterm on any level i can find. It may get there but right now it feels like middle upper of the terminal pack. Especially on linux.

Actually fun fact! if you buy an album from bandcamp, it's appx the fiscal equivalent to the artist of you streaming their music every day for 3 years. Consider Buying Music!

Swami #AWS #ReInvent keynote: embrace the GenAI monolith and feed it your data.

Ugh. Every time i see a demo about NuShell I instantly get the itch. I just can’t leave zsh well enough alone can I?

I somehow just scrolled past four posts about backups. Fam, back up your stuff, back up your stuff and make sure you can restore from that backup. This is your regular reminder to verify your restore system.

I have been watching this series for a while and the hype of getting it up and working is real. I recommend the whole series fr youtu.be/Fe1wYwGcjlo

I wrote a blonk post documenting my #linux and #amd hard crashing problem and fix for those who also hit this. Fix Crashing on AMD GPU on Debian 12 // Dear Squirrels, WTF

Inside me are two squirrels; One wants all of my posting on social media to be positive, uplifting, & helpful. Not b/c toxic positivity but because I don’t see enough joy posting One is an angry af activist who wants to use what is left of my social cache to drive people to action

I have had this whole rant about the value of AI media to different people in my head for two days and so I actually have a new blog post again! The tone of it is kinda weird to me, but it's how found it best to collect my thoughts. squirrels.wtf/posts/2024-1...

Evry few years i catch fomo and switch back to fish for my shells… and then it takes only a few months for me to be wholly annoyed by its lack of shell expansions and substitutions. And then every time i find myself wanting to haul back out the zsh configs

I am so confused about my Debian 12/DKE work desktop crashing and locking up as much as it is. I really haven't done much of anything custom other than installing work apps. Do I spend my Sunday debugging or so I reload to unbuntu and move on for now? choices

Oh no I broke a tiny fuck in the bottom of my laptop bag.

Please tell me this is the new tech twitter, I miss all my peers and friends.
