I caught the chicharron thief! 😂

Someone kept stealing pork skins from my bag and then tried to look super innocent. 🐶

There are two types of “fall people.”

After moving my blog (major.io) to S3/CloudFront, it looks like the biggest drag on my load times is now the DNS lookup. That's a surprise. 👀

If I have a flat file, like JSON or CSV, is there an easier way for me to share it with people in a browser than Flat GitHub?

:prami_happy: omg.lol people (or those who perhaps want to try it out): everyone who donates $10 or more from now until the end of September will be in with a chance of winning FIVE YEARS of omg.lol.

But there's more - the biggest donation will get an ultra-rare LIFETIME membership to omg.lol 😱 (I don't even have one of those)

Winners will be drawn at random when the campaign is over.

Holler at me when "your shit is broken" is an appropriate response to a support ticket.

There was an alarming amount of porn being recorded on other boats out on the lake today.

No, I don’t know where the threshold is between a normal amount and an alarming amount is.

Youngest son’s birthday tomorrow. He really wants a trampoline, but I *HATE them. Guess who won that battle, and guess who’s been building a trampoline this evening…🤦‍♂️

Still trying to figure out how to go #running and stay in Zone 2.

If I jog as slow as I can possibly make myself go, I get into zone 3. If I walk a bit, I fall into zone 1. 🤔

If anyone outside the US is watching the GOP debate tonight, please be aware that the primary is a race to bring the fringe of the party to your side. Stuff changes when the general election approaches and candidates need to pull in some voters from the other party.

TL;DR: This is maximum nutty politics. It usually gets less crazy as the general election approaches. Usually.

GOP ideals seem to be:

Homelessness: law and order
Crime: law and order
Drugs: law and order
Hunter Biden: law and order
Trump: Why are we weaponizing the justice system?!

Whoa, that's a pretty nice feature in Duolingo that I haven't seen before. After listening to a story, I get to write a response in my own words and it gets graded. That's cool! 👏

Can you find Spezi outside of Germany somewhere?

I'm told I need to give it a try, but I haven't seen it anywhere in the US.

Okay, this is a bit disturbing. Spoiler alert: they are using the credit bureaus. 🤦‍♂️

There's NSFW language in the post, but it's a good read.

@cdlhamma OMG a blast from the past! How are you?

Hey y'all, I moved over to social.lol because their service looks totally fun and totally my style. 🥰

Also, I would like to begin writing some toots in Spanish from time to time. Fosstodon is awesome but they have an English-only rule to make moderation easier. They have the right to set that rule on their server and I'm not complaining here. 😉

Thanks to @kev and his team for working so hard to keep that server running. 👏
