Since I linked to a repo on code.driusan.net I finally got around to writing a blog post about my distributed bug tracker / source code manager that it's based on.

I was going to write it after I got my rust port up to parity with the original #plan9 version, but I screwed up my laptop's hard drive and lost the rust port (it turns out refusing to put it offsite with git because I wanted to be sure I was dogfooding my scm wasn't a great idea.) so I'm just writing the post now.

driusan,

@glynmoody nothing says "innocent" like sending your spy chief on a mission to threaten the prosecutor investigating you.

I almost hacked up my webfs enough to open a websocket connection to ws://echo.websocket.org but I don't know if I'll be able to finish it because webfs isn't really intended to be full duplex and I don't know how to write to the connection after opening it.

I'm going to start using the verb "Googled it" to mean "to take a widely used and well liked product and turn it into something horrific beyond HP Lovecraft's wildest imagination while coasting on inertia and the nostalgic memories of my users"

driusan,

Google (trans v.) (goo-gul)

  1. To destroy a product while coasting on your reputation
  2. To take a well liked product and cancel it
  3. (Archaic, obsolete) To search on the internet

We successfully paid for my parents without having my dad complain 😎

driusan,

did you drug him so he was unconscious first?

driusan,

@stephanie I could see that working for paying but I couldn't see that working for not complaining.

I finally fixed my outgoing smtp server so that I can send emails from an email client instead of just from the command line. I am undecided if this is a good thing.

I just discovered that Ulrich_the_elder had his account deleted (I would assume for good reasons as most of my contacts had him blocked too).

His new account if you want to make a note/mute/block again: Ulrich_the_elder@thecanadian.social

driusan,

@stephanie why does that name sound vaguely familiar but I can't place it?

Extreme heat risk in Florida tomorrow, 5/15/2024. Remember to never leave your kids, pets, spouse, or anything else you hold near and dear to your heart in a hot car without A/C.

driusan,

@ai6yr If it's that bad they should change the colour scheme on the map to shades of green and pastels instead of harsh purples and reds. It worked to solve covid.

McGill: We are seeking an injunction against John and Jane Doe. We can't tell who's at the encampment.
(Various groups): Hi it's us we're the defendants
McGill: No no no that's too complicated we just want the court to rule against Mr and Mrs Doe

McGill "security" seizes N95s masks being delivered to protesters.

McGill is very committed to being on the wrong side of history.

“I came to bring these masks to my students,” said the man, who teaches in the dentistry faculty. “I told them, ‘I’m a doctor at McGill and I care about the well-being of my students.’

It appears that some universities are banning masks of any kind at sites where they are holding their graduation ceremony. This is ableist, exclusionary, and completely unacceptable.

driusan,

@luckytran Connecticut: we'll let you keep the clothes on your back. (Maybe. I didn't get far enough to say *for sure" it's not on that list.)

In case you missed it the Premiere of Quebec just declared himself judge, jury, and executioner and unilaterally declared the McGill encampments illegal after the court didn't.

Pretty sure if I worked in retail and either Plante or Roberge came in I would greet them with a friendly "bonjour-go-fuck-yourself"

I see a lot of people making fun of the cybertruck because of the news that they had to recall them all but how come no one makes fun of the fact that they've only sold 4000 of them to recall?

driusan,

Over 8 billion people on this planet and less than 4000 would be caught dead in a cybertruck.

Lol. What’s with all the climate deniers saying the Dubai flood was due to “cloud seeding” while simultaneously denying that humans can cause climate change and extreme weather?
