git commit -S -m "stop trying to make fetch happen" is probably the best bit of gitting that I'll do in my career.

Because these things cannot be repeated enough: DEI is essential, no one is illegal, Black lives matter, trans rights are human rights, disability rights are civil rights, love is love, and you deserve a union.
I opened a €1,400 network switch.
Inside: one circuit board and some blinking lights.
No conveyor belts. No sorting bins. Not a single packet.
The packet lie goes deeper than you think:

🪠 I just triggered the 100,000th pipeline on $employer's GitLab instance.
Feels like a significant milestone.

I love covers. I love badass horn sections. I love this song. This song, therefore, is PERFECT. #CrucialTracks

It's the nibling's 3rd birthday, so we got to go hang out at a fire station.
I printed a new switch cover (https://www.printables.com/model/1078858-switch-cover-for-mnt-pocket-reform/) for my Pocket Reform to make the standby switch a bit easier to access.
⌚ And /now, this:
- Finished Canada's Drag Race: All Stars.
- Watching Drag Race Down Under vs The World.
- Starting to fiddle a bit with MeshCore in addition to Meshtastic.
omg.lol’s first-party service is 100% AI-free. I don’t use external libraries or packages in my development, so I know the origin of every line of my code (and it’s my own keyboard). I will always run omg.lol (and everything else under the Neatnik umbrella) this way, because this is a service for *people*, and people deserve something made by another person.
If this sounds like something you can get behind, you can use code NOAI to save 20% at checkout. 🚫🤖
