There must be a term for this: people’s tendency to feel that a statement is insightful or deep because it rhymes or has some other poetic technique in use.

Dear Lazyweb, I have an NEC video projector and I can't get it to do DHCP, or become pingable with a static IP. Tried several cables; the switch gets a link light on all. Is there something weird about these that I'm missing? The setup menu seems straightforward.

Turned down an enthusiastic invitation to a fistfight in the Costco parking lot. Doing fine, but still adrenalized.

How's your Thursday going?

Boot device failure. Should install #NetBSD.

I have been waiting for this story to drop: @mpesce stumbled upon LLM Kryptonite – and no one wants to fix this model-breaking bug

Models with flaws can be harmless … yet dangerous. So why are reports of problems being roundly ignored?

Wow, I've seen some terrible website bugs in my time, but this has to be the worst.

Entering passenger passport information into leshuttle.com. As soon as you click "Save" for a passenger, it decrements the date of birth by one day!

I even got one of my kids to watch the screen while I reproduced it.

I'm now in a quandary. It would appear I have to deliberately put in incorrect passenger information in order to transit back into my own country. Would love to know legal opinion on that!

ugh, I'm very sorry for that onslaught of posts. a cron job apparently started to work again and decided to play catch up :-(

I'm trying to delete them, but I got rate limited for 30 mins...

"We'll soon be discontinuing the SAP Community Voice newsletter."

The only recurring reminder, that #sapcommunity is still there, will be shut down. 🙈

The classic all night shows Memorial Day weekend at the #Bengies include new and old releases. Probably because so few current to consider.

Has "Sub-Total Recall" been coined yet?

Edit: add #SubTotalRecall

Let's see. NetBSD 10 implies 10 kernel versions in, um, 30 years almost? Averaging 3 "point" releases per version, that's 1 kernel upgrade per year, max. I'm ignoring NetBSD 0.9 and prior (patchkit 0.2
2) as lesser products.

Every so often the benefit of wearing a bicycle helmet is so great that it can't be ignored. I really should have worn one this morning...

... not for cycling, of course, but when I climbed a ladder in the garage and bashed my head.

After a long slog, I've finished an initial test of this idea: a few of the longest rivers (depending on how you measure) in Michigan, modeled after the comparisons that were popular in the 19th century (e.g. https://www.loc.gov/resource/g3200m.gcw0013960/?sp=6&loclr=blogmap). When time/energy allow, will do more later. Your feedback is welcome! See this thread for a few bits of context, highlights, and some detail images.

I am talking o a reporter about this in a couple hours: https://regina.ctvnews.ca/from-outer-space-sask-farmers-baffled-after-discovering-strange-wreckage-in-field-1.6880353

This is about an hour away from my farm, so this'll be a fun conversation, and yet another great opportunity to tell a lot of people about what a huge problem we have with unregulated commercialization of orbit. (Also I just redid my slides for my public talk next week, this is going in!)
