From punished_cait on Twitter a few years ago: “every tech guy: Al pretend to be alive Al: i am alive tech guy: oh my god............ what have i done”

whoever abbreviated it to S.A.D was doing something..

enough "productivity" for today; we continue tomorrow now.

i should also start saying the corniest lines ever in the face of terrifying evils

i'm only doing this from here on out

“But the company—” Will you shut up. Companies value velocity and new launches and shipping first at all costs because of course they do; it’s table stakes. Speed of delivery is basically the number one corporate value of every organization whether they admit to it or not. They’ll say they value experimentation, but not as much as shipping. Or they’ll claim to be really into investing in people and fostering growth, but not to the extent that it should let the schedule slip. Maybe they’ll say something about embracing failure, unless it’s a failure to get the app redesign in users’ hands before the end of the fiscal quarter. Some places really, really mean it when they say “ship or GTFO,” and those organizations have a tendency to grind employees into dust and then burn the dust for fuel. But going purely on outcomes, it sure seems like most places don’t actually value velocity as much as they claim to, just like all the other corporate values that pad out their Careers page.

I don’t actually believe that AI is coming for everybody’s jobs, by the way. I rather believe that greed and mismanagement are coming for the jobs, and that workers are being laid off as a direct consequence of leadership failures. AI is simply a convenient smokescreen for these feckless cowards to hide behind. See, if a CEO announces layoffs because the company’s earnings are in the toilet, that CEO looks incompetent. If a CEO announces a reallocation of resources to better leverage the rapidly evolving landscape of workplace automation and AI, they sound Very Smart. Who doesn’t want to sound Very Smart? Here’s your token budget, now go do three people’s work.

a good article to start the day.. might leave you feeling bad/sad

This is actually a comment where this response is completely applicable

myconetted on tumblr: "affirmations - i am a complex organism brutally engineered by uncaring forces of nature - i am a product of billions of years and trillions of deaths - i am building a machine greater than myself - i am able to make phone calls and appointments"

omg shottr and tailscale spotted!

(wishing shottr had gif/video support..)

best thing i can do for my sanity is validate this specific segment i'm doing;

start the long transfer

and hope for the best

ok another big "data" migration (not that any of this really matters)

18 TiB across az regions

compression savings about 70%

5.4 TiB at, say, 1gbps is 13h :(

wow getting touchid to work within tmux is quite easy

github.com/fabianishere...

nvm didn't work vendors ain't accepting lol

is this what the super wealthy do, but like, on a much much larger scale?

feels like i'm doing something shady lol

we all have to thank that tumblr dev who decided to allow spaces in hashtags, the internet is better for it

the 18TB is fine, but i'm getting the data out of that and into the pool

it makes a creaking noise when starting to spin which is freaking me out

rsync /mnt/s18-01/ into my pool, it is!

wait fuck the topmost drive is the 18TB one!??!?!?!

but i'm planning to clean the damn cabinet before we put things back; so whether the 18TB is bad as well? we'll get to know... shortly!

interesting failure mode

login shell inside tmux overwrites existing shell's $PATH

apologies to the inhabitants of my dream universe upon whom i cast eternal summer by sleeping a bit close to my room heater

btw when pondering whether to implement the "correct" fix (extract CASB cert, create new bundle) or just move on with --allow-insecure-host

ran into this debacle

wiki.mozilla.org/CA/Entrust_I...

groups.google.com/a/ccadb.org/...

webpki.substack.com/t/entrust-co...

wake up

checks slack
sees issue about uv tool install failing because CASB MITM' certs

day = ruined

i want nothing more than to go back to sleep now

deeply unimpressed

ofc ensure you fix your ACL if it's anything other than just star dust

today in tailscale shenanigans;

turns out you can just.. set advertised routes to random list

and it just works (with --accept-routes)

every cloud VM's ssh works after you set it up the second time

can i do tailscale exit node but like configure only a set of 100 subnets to go through it ?

and can i advertise this from the server?

(or maybe if subnet routers can advertise multiple "public" subnets already and i haven't tried it yet; all docs point to advertising "private" subnets)

label: good first issue. label: ok wise guy u have a crack at it
