I don't post on here much any more, or monitor it much, so probably better to find me on Bluesky if you need me.

De gustibus etc. No platform is perfect. But I feel more comfortable there, and less like I'm likely to get screamed at for using Latin without a CW or something.

USB (OLD): You have various cables. Some of them have a blue color inside the plug. The ones that are blue inside the plug work better.

USB (C): You have various cables. Plug one in for a fun surprise!

Pretty sure I get brew update vs. brew upgrade wrong even more frequently than inserting a Micro-USB cable the wrong way.

the funniest thing about Apple is the last version of MacOS features "video reactions" where if your camera sees you do a thumbs up or heart symbol with your hands, stuff happens behind you like fireworks in ANY video app you are using BY DEFAULT.

A friend was in an online therapy session, describing his trauma so the therapist asked if he was alright and he did a thumbs up and then HUGE FIREWORKS BEHIND HIS HEAD.

It's so bad that online therapy sessions now start with a warning dialog!

Anyone want to hang out, get some snacks, maybe flee the country

Do yourself a favor. If you can't do this today, try to do it tomorrow. Take your to-do list and limit it to just three things. Let the rest go and give yourself a break for a change. If you want to crash on the couch and watch movies, do it. If you want to read all day, do that. Saturdays and Sundays don't have to be about doing exciting things. Sometimes, they need to be about just recovering and being low-key and that's PERFECT.

Jenkins' greatest strength and weakness are the same. There's not a CI/CD tool on the planet that comes near it for built in capabilities, but that means that there's rarely ever one way to do anything. It's so easy to get lost in the weeds, especially if you're new to #Jenkins and pipelines in general. My advice is to start simple. Don't enable every plugin in the world before you know what you're doing. Just get stuff working with sh in stages and only look to plugins if you get stuck.
