@jetsoft @swampgas Adding to playlist. Thank You!

So I volunteer with Food Not Bombs (their site sucks and they want me to "fix it" ... do a "dig"/"whois" and you'll see my pain). I know every unhoused dog in downtown.

Someone is looking for me and they send a third party to find me and vanish.

I yell dude's dog's name and she comes and gets me and licks my leg and attaches for two blocks until I find him.

Dog as layer 2. Nifty.

@jetsoft @swampgas Oh Hell YES!

@SynAck My mother was also fun like that.

"You gonna do something unwise?"

Yes maam.

"Gloves and good boots, carry on."

@ahasty So ::1 or 127.0.0.1 are interchangeable right?

*ROARING LAUGHTER* / Falls over laughing ... call EMS ... oh no, no, no,

1. Fuck your hard coded IP fuckwit bullshit ...
2. If a product is unaware of IPv6, I get to start writing patches to "localhost" but that doesn't always translate well so Sometimes I end up patching 127.0.0.1, ::1, localhost and it's goddamned irritating because that breaks stuff I'm trying to fix.

Slogs through mud fighting with Outlook (Google works ok).

@SynAck Oh WOW! That's Nifty!
Good on you for gloves!

@swampgas No. I apologize for being difficult, it is not. Most Net tingies are simply echoes of The Masses that have TV that feeds them a shit sammich and then it becomes a Recursive Echo Issue.

@GhostOnTheHalfShell @juliewebgirl You Started It!

Fun Story: Julie and I are in Fremont (WA) at an event. There is a statue of Lennon (Not John, ahem)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Statue_of_Lenin_(Seattle)

And it's dusk and one of my neuro spicy things is pattern recognition of slight changes, ja?

It was dusk so certain things stood out in my environment ... like a 14"x3" dildo crowning said statue.

"Julie? Is there a dildo on top of Lenin?"

"Yes Elf, yes there is."

Also Fremont: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RrxePKps87k

@swampgas Kill it with fucking Fire!

Television (I'm old) is still the opioid of The Masses.

@ahasty In this particular case, it's Monitoring code ... Zabbix specifically.

The (fucking) Problem is:
Most net stuffs are based on IPv4. Ok, sure. A few Years ago I went IPv6 as Primary because I'm a bitch and I wanted it this way because my carrier offered it. Some things had to happen (ReverseDNS [PTR records] from my carrier, ja?) Ok all good.

Let me tell you some shit ...

1/something

the fediverse is just a bunch of neurodivergents building their own internet so they don't have to talk to the other internet

@aebrockwell The fun part is that SAtya *Has* to know Microsoft is on the way out. There's always been Mac (if you want to pay 3x for the same hardware as my ThinkPad), but now, nobody has money to just go and buy a new machine (or plural) because Microsoft released a new Windows version And Is Forcing An Upgrade On Your Existing Hardware.

Fuck That.

My machine (and wallet) do not sway to Microsoft's whims.

SatNad is in denial, and driving MS's demise by playing by Balmer's (old) playbook.

And on Tulsi's dinner menu for tonight:

Black Bread, Borsht, Caviar, Pirozhki (beef), Shashlik, Morozhenoe for dessert, and lots and lots of Vodka ...

@dusk @maxleibman Wasted a good cup of coffee and a keyboard. Thanks.

@mcc Broken Clownfare gateway?

@aebrockwell Microsoft is losing because they force customers into a hole. Used to be ... new version of Office forcing Everyone to upgrade (formats not compatible, give us another $400/license to communicate with your vendors and clients). Neat revenue trick.

Now it's subscription/cloud @ whatever/month.

I wish folk would wake the hell up and Walk Away. But people get raped by corporations because they're too damned lazy to say "Fuck This Noise" and suck the small learning curve.
