I read tech article the other day where the engineer had made several LLM calls and over engineered controlling a smart home light. Then wrote a massive corporate ridden psychoses article about it like he was delivering the word of God.

I can't remember what company had posted it. One of the search vendors I think but it was not cool. It's like everyone got laid off and the only people left is some execs nephew that's "good at computers".

I'm waiting to see if a bill goes through in my country before pushing my friends into a self hosted messenger but it'll probably be something xmpp based.

What in the Kevin rose and Alex Albrecht.

This is why I stick with Debian. Adults make decisions over there.

This was probably not great for morale when you compare how handlers are with working dogs today or how the Polish treated their ammo bear even then.

Homelab is so 2025. We're all building EMF pulsing devices in 2026 in preparation of the redacted.

This man taught us that heaters are indeed about as efficient as you can get in turning energy into heat through a little thing called resistance.

Moloch also keeps showing up again and again in the lore of these people as a way for them to personally atone for their egregious activities. They believe this entity requires constant and significant sacrifice for good fortune. George Bush Jr was in attendance at Bohemian grove many times where the powerful people go to rub elbows and relax in the summer on a lake. They run a mock ceremony there called the Comfort of Care as part of the festivities where they do a mock sacrifice of a young women (presumably a virgin) to Moloch as a symbol of the entire years worth of their immoral actions to atone to Moloch. The idea being that they can then leave the mini vacation with less weight of how they have used their power in the past.

I think coverage of the grove as dramatization throughout the years regarding occult activity actually did us all a big disservice toward what the real issue has always been. That is, leadership without personal responsibility, and should be a major red flag when thinking about leaders at any capacity.

I wish I was making this stuff up. So it's not totally off the wall here that George Bush Jr would be looking for other spiritual entities and collect them so that he could also use for himself for justifications. This is how they sleep at night and we should never let them forget their harm no matter how many cute paintings they make.

Whether they really believe this stuff or not, there is always a theme of using spirituality to justify horrible actions among these people and I think that's something important to keep in mind in regard to understanding the complete lack of mental health and critical thinking among the powerful despite their positions and willingness to say or do anything to justify their actions.

I wish we could do away with the idea of spirituality once and for all but I'd settle for the institutions of religion to at least call out these people more often along the way when powerful people are just as happy to use that religion as a means of justification for their actions. The whole thing is rotten to the core.

When a person with addiction murders someone and says "god made me do it.". We treat them as crazy. When a politician does it, we are supposed to feel sorry for them?

Anyway, for anyone that believes they have to choose "something" focus on science. At least it has to prove itself rather than demand sacrifice to some vague mythical goat man. I believe the Pastafarions haven't harmed anyone (yet) either.

I can't leave the house without a shower even if it's just a quick 5 minute trip to the gas station. The only exception I'm willing to make for this is if someone else is in some sort of harms way from nature or whatever.

Wake up late to the thing? I just won't be doing the thing I guess or everyone will have to wait. That said, I'm good about not being in that situation and plan myself well for the sake of others as I recognize it's a weird thing about me, not them.

I know we have to deliver it with something but did it have to be pig semen?

Scientists: Well it probably doesn't HAVE to be I guess...

This is exactly how ITIL intended right?

It's rare enough to be a good band name.

All my overnight grocery stores stopped being open past 10pm. It was only the expensive grocery store that was open all night but I felt it was worth paying.

haha, also gas pumps.

Fuck those speculative ghouls.

Take the camper bribe Clarence and then never leave the woods again.

I'm okay with this, Redhat has always sucked.
