Been rewatching Stargate lately and I gotta say SG-1 holds up pretty well.

This must be read.
Ukrainians on Threads are sharing moments from the war that broke them — moments they will carry for the rest of their lives.
This is the reality of war. This pain must be heard.
Below are translations.
I post it this way because I have a character limit here.
@grmpyprogrammer I see we have similar YouTube recommendations lol. Now I need to watch it, even though the millennial one (if it exists) will be more applicable.

Every state in the U.S. should pass a law like the one now proposed in California, disqualifying ICE agents from working in state law enforcement and public schools. https://www.sfchronicle.com/politics/article/california-bill-ice-teachers-21318405.php
For the record I’m noticing who has been silent about Renee Good and Alex Pretti, but were highly vocal over Charlie Kirk. The key takeaway being that you’re a piece of shit.
I gotta say, it’s been nice stretching some old sys admin muscles with my #homelab project. One thing that’s really helped actually get things done quicker though has been working along with Claude Code/ #llms.
Future goal is to get the hardware to run decent models locally to replace Claude Code in this instance for a variety of reasons. But for now, CC has helped supplement my low quantity of “spoons” to actually complete tasks.
Do plan on condensing my learnings, etc. into a blog post soon

I did a thing.
@ian Arch VM in proxmox to host portainer and containers.
Today I begin diving into #homelab world of #proxmoxve for my new server(s). First up is also checking out Arch Linux for my docker containers and portainer.

Since coming into office, Zohran Mandani has: fixed a small infrastructure annoyance for cyclists that was left unaddressed for years, delivered on universal childcare, and cut fines for small businesses by 50%.
That's what social democracy in the US can achieve in weeks. The Democrats need to take note!
Finally got around to releasing my first "complete" Rust library/binary. I'm pretty sure ATT is screwing me on what I'm actually getting vs. what I pay for internet wise. So I built CLI tool that runs speed tests similar to how https://speed.cloudflare.com does it so I can graph results overtime and stick it to them.
Open to PR's, etc. hope it winds up being helpful to someone else.

DoorDash should sue this guy for making their engineering org look like clowns and reducing interest in working there.
On the plus side, three months sober (as of the 9th). On the negative side, the last week or so has been such a struggle to resist the urge or temptation to do so. Ya know, because of the overall generally shitty.. everything going on.

the ICE officer who murdered renee good has a gofundme that's raised nearly half a million dollars. obviously this monster does not deserve a single cent of this money, so please scroll down on the fundraiser page and click "report fundraiser": https://www.gofundme.com/f/ice-offuver-jonathan-ross
as a reason, you can put this premade reason a fantastic legal youtuber i watch named leeja miller wrote (https://www.youtube.com/post/Ugkx0u0-APFP_hWhuld9V3FCwC5xozkOG-GT):
Under 5 CFR § 2635.202(b), 'an employee may not, directly or indirectly, accept a gift given because of the employee's official position.' This fundraiser directly violates that federal statute as it is raising funds explicitly because of the beneficiary's actions while on duty as an ICE agent, which makes him an employee of the Executive Branch. Disbursement of these funds to the named beneficiary would violate federal law.
renee good's family also has a gofundme which has raised over $1.5 million, so definitely consider donating to her cause if you can: https://www.gofundme.com/f/support-for-renee-goods-wife-and-son
the more people who report the fundraiser, the better the likelihood that the officer doesn't get any money from this, so i'd greatly appreciate it if you shared this! :blobcatheart:
