I hooked up a monitor and keyboard to my basement server and began the upgrade to Ubuntu 24.04 LTS.

That's not bad. Last time I upgraded that server to 22.04 LTS I left a smoking crater. I can fix my QEMU issues. Eventually.

Oh boy. #SoMuchCoffeeNeeded #AdultSupervision

Um. Wait. What???

It’s still running? #RSSFeed #SoMuchCoffeeNeeded

_Every_ election is a compromise and a choice about what is the best way forward. Yes, almost always it's about voting for the one who is closed to what a voter wants. Sometimes it's about the lesser of two evils.

In this case it's a dedicated public servant with a history of being in office vs a **cking psychopath.

This isn't hard. #SoMuchCoffeeNeeded

Me when someone used ChatGPT to write an email for password resets.

Honest, I'd rather read an email that I need to translate than that. Bad grammar and sentence structure is totally fine too. #SoMuchCoffeeNeeded

CBS News. Wax figure of Dwayne Johnson.

They made a wax figure of Mr. Clean. Also that skin color. #SoMuchCoffeeNeeded

@JosephMenn That _is_ on brand for him. #SoMuchCoffeeNeeded
