Had a tough week at work. Not as hard as many others so not really complaining, but I found a silver lining in an open box deal for a PS5 nearby. Still having a tough week... Still not as hard as others. www.pushsquare.com/news/2025/02... #HugOps

I really would love to see the protocol succeed. Eager to see how the public-interest foundation efforts go, and wishing them the absolute best.

I started an open-source platform for posting candidate profiles to give interested voters a search result for their local races. Additionally, and absolutely relevant. I am running for school board in my Chicago suburb. www.democracycandidate.us/candidates/z...

I wanted to resurrect my tech blog, but my last post was about the early days of COVID-19. It didn't seem right to ignore that and write about infrastructure-as-code, so I segued with a retro. www.zac.direct/2024/12/covi...

Arguably the first survival horror game: Project Firestart for Commodore 64 from Dynamix and Electronic Arts. (1989) I've gushed about Firestart in a few places, most recently in SCANLINES, but yeah. Fixed camera angles? Disaster logs? Limited resources? Cinematic horror? It was all here.

Merry Christmas to everyone looking for an obscure AF alt rock anthem to add to your holiday playlist. This one is my absolute favorite. youtu.be/MzW8WSeIL6Y

I love what I do, and that means my 9-5 generally fulfills me enough to do almost anything else. Generally, Q4 leaves enough off time to find some OSS to contribute to or convince myself this is the year I actually update my blog. This year my personal site needed some attention. 🧵

I've recommended LastPass for ages, but the logmein acquisition didn't do them any favors and it seems they've gone private again just in time to not have the funds to pay out inevitable class actions. https://x.com/LastPass/status/1598047380305104896

I hope you find something in 2023 that makes you as happy as a bison ear makes these mutts.

This has more merit than most of these posts. A little surprised at how many people think supporting billions of users in realtime is as easy as a weekend of coding and a big k8s cluster. Anyways, see y'all on untitled document! https://x.com/annevclark/status/1588341163341357057

Hopefully it never comes back. They should be funding their own propaganda, and it's sad to learn it was platformed and even monetized by Google at all. https://x.com/AuroraIntel/status/1498577896532807680
