My laptop battery became a spicy pillow this morning.

In related news, my five-year-old Dell Precision laptop is doing fine and dandy.

Still feeling a bit under-the-weather, but I am feeling quite a bit better. Unlike the previous week, I didn't start the day vomiting.

Shawn Webb boosted

Your periodic reminder that I would much prefer to have a larger battery than a large camera bump. Phones should have a flat back.

Our Mastodon instance is powered by #OpenBSD. The media storage, however, is powered by #HardenedBSD.

Our Mastodon media is about 1,3TB - including 30 days of remote cache. Adding the storage of our PeerTube instance triples that amount.

Using any other filesystem than ZFS makes no sense whatsoever with storage arrays like this. And for ZFS, HardenedBSD is the most logical choice. The benefits of FreeBSD with added exploit mitigations and other security measures.

Plus, a project that actively advocates and works for human rights!

New feature in I really appreciate: the new D-Pad. I use that to move around when typing to fix all the typos I make on a phone.

Breaking news: sinus infections blow hard.

Shawn Webb boosted

I forgot who does the stickers. I'd like to share some with local groups, like Hackers N Hops.

True story: I have a really hard time sleeping on my back.

In related news, I got about two hours of sleep last night.

Shawn Webb boosted

Today, as my wife and I spent the morning vomiting, I'm ever more grateful for weighted heating pads.

Them:

At least it’s not the right foot sticking out of the driver side window

Me:

Plot twist: the right is a pirate's wooden leg, handed down from Jack Sparrow through to Buddy the Elf, and by complete accident being unceremoniously gifted to Dread Pirate Roberts then finally ending up with this fine gentleman.

This is how my extremely tired brain is when paired with my sick body. But, my, the journey that pegleg must have had.

Now you see I was wondering that earlier. I googled it but forgot the answer.

It appears to be no, with the C (C99, I think) standard requiring it to be 0 or (void*)0.
An integer constant expression with the value 0, or such an expression cast to type void *, is called a null pointer constant.
