War is not some game. Our troops are not toy soldiers. Civilian casualties are not nothing.

NO BOOTS ON THE GROUND.

NO WAR WITH IRAN.

I’ve also been using it at home to rebuild my homelab on a RPi5. Again, much more efficient than I can be unassisted, but imperfect.

I’ve gone all in on Claude in the past week or so. The ability to take a code base and documentation to synthesize sequence diagrams, threat modeling artifacts, etc is impressive. I still need to validate the outputs, but it is way more efficient than I am at the first pass for all of these tasks.

The only chip you need. This one hits both on the quality of the chip (extra crunchy) and the flavor profile (salty/spicy). All of the Tim’s chips are worth trying.

Tim's Potato Chips, Jalepeno Our customers tell us that our jalapeΓ±o chips are their favorite. The flavor that made Tim’s famous is not for the faint of heartβ€”it has just the right amount of boldness. These chips will blow you aw...

Just learned that a conference I’ve spoken at yearly since 2020 is moving to Texas.

Hosting a conference in a state that doesn’t respect the rights of all people is a terrible idea for an identity-centric conference.

(Yes, I’m also aware of Gartner IAM in DFW annually…)

No, it’s an attempt to further marginalize immigrants in the US.

This is cruel and unnecessary.

From the thread I learned about tcpipeline.org. I immediately made a donation to help TCP assist queer folks to move to safer environments in Colorado and the US.

On our roadtrip last week, my eldest and I were discussing this exact topic. I think you're the first person to have turned me on to the details of the US interstate numbering system.

I love that you notice these things. IIRC you had a blog or wiki of road administrivia stuff at one point?

I really enjoy driving through that area.

Back on the bus. DTW ✈️ SEA. Headed home after a week of college tours. Four states, three different campus tours, a lot of thrift stores, great meals, time with the Identerati of Boston, and a short visit with my cousin and her partner in VT.

Back on the bus. BDL ✈️ DTW on our way to University of Michigan.

College tours continue…

I may be a terrible potter but Shari’s a pro! You should visit @shabbazabba.bsky.social at her studio, Wheelhouse Clay Center, in Brattleboro, VT!

Pottery lessons with my cousin. She’s a pro and makes it look easy. But I’m a terrible potter!

Day 2 of the college tour adventure with my eldest. We'll be all over Boston and Cambridge today before dinner with some of the Boston based Identerati.

Back on the bus. SEA ✈️ BOS in my favorite seat on an A321Neo, 1B.

IRC is where I met Katchoo years ago, which led me to alt.society.genx, which led me to meet you many years later...

I really don’t enjoy football. But I’m enjoying this game.

This is the ad that Fox News does NOT want you to see.

Fox News rejected our newest ad, which demonstrates that Trump has β€œgone too far” with ICE.

But we will not remain silent in the face of these attacks.

It’s a great place to hike if you don’t want to go far/have limited transit options.

First cycle to work day of 2026. Clear, cold (38F/3C), and dry. Couldn’t have asked for a better morning to ride.

Today was the first time I used pogies to keep my hands warm. How did I spend so many years commuting through the winter without them?!

I also had the chance to get my new Durston tent set up in the yard. I’m shocked at how small and light it is, as well as how roomy it is for a 1 person tent. I need to find time for a night out in the woods soon…

In times like these, self-care is important. Protest, be loud, support your community. But take care of yourself so you can be there for the long haul.

I needed a unicorn chaser this weekend, hence my dive into MeshCore, HomeAssistant, and a hike in Carkeek Park.
