Me: "Do or do not, there is no try" is bogus. There is ONLY "try." You try and you try and you try, with focused intention and deliberate practice, until you succeed.

No way I could ship the Stack over there, though. I'd have to count on y'all to provide copies.

I think an author pic of this machine, surrounded by my books, with the machine empty and me leaning against the glass in a gelato coma, surrounded by empty cartons, would be perfectly on brand.

Spam from Substack? Telling me to log into my account, when I don't have an account?

Blocking their domain at the MTA level. :flan_trophy:

So, uh... In the Linux ecosystem, systemd is now getting the equivalent of sudo, called 'run0' if I got everything correctly.

Somewhere out there 'Jia Tan' is rubbing his hands, because he now has his next target.

Seriously, though, systemd programmers: have you learned NOTHING?

@ParadeGrotesque

Personal theory: every systemd box is already owned.

When I hear someone declare that "audiobooks aren't real reading," I tell myself that they probably had a terrible time learning to decipher marks on paper,take a rightful pride in that skill, and don't want their struggle minimized. Or maybe they have trouble understanding spoken words and it's a sore spot for them.

Absorb story, however you can.

There's a rumour going around that should the BSDCan charity auction hit $1500, I will lovingly kick @sng in the head.

Well, okay, I'm hoping it goes around. Because @sng deserves a good solid kick to the head. It's been too long.

Well, these meds are damn good. can't feel any pain in the side of my head where they excavated Hell Tooth. A sense of pressure and a mild headache, but no pain.

It's clearly time to publish a book. :flan_book: :flan_genius:

Waiting for Kickstarter to verify the campaign payment details.

Which are exactly the same as the payment details for every other campaign I've run.

Then I'll wait for them to approve the draft campaign, so I can have a promo link for Penguicon.

Still faster than trad pub.
