I was under the impression that superposition was going to be solved with Type-C, but somehow I still always fumble with that port until I look at it.

Pretty cool little tool! Not sure it fits my threat model but it's neat that its out there!

Ukrainian troops tested launching the Ukrainian-American Hornet kamikaze drone from a balloon. The aerostat carried the drone 42 km and released it from 8 km altitude, while the UAV used only 5% of its battery. The method extends range by combining balloon distance, high-altitude release and battery preservation, potentially pushing strike reach 1.5 to 2 times beyond the current 100 to 150 km. #Ukraine

Getting ready to stand up the new refactor on my request fullilment pipeline at work. Moving from a Sheets frontend to Slack. Should be a lot more user friendly and robust there!

People are far too trusting. Someone asked me to make them a safer auto clicker for their game. A stranger. Gave me OS and sysinfo. They have no qualms letting me build them an exe sight unseen. I'm not gonna do it; I'm gonna teach them how to do it themselves.

Its crazy AF how quick people are to rat themselves for convenience though.

Is it still a confidence game if the mark can depend on what you say? Is buying hard-won confidence a con, regardless of the outcome?

If you have intellectual property that you store in the medium of bits and bytes on a computer somewhere, and you choose to present this IP through the usual channels online... if I value that arrangement of bits, I'm going to find a way to replicate it on my computer. I feel like that is my right as a netizen. Expose it, I will preserve it if I so choose.

Information wants to be free, and IP is just that.

Drafted my overhaul of my VPS on oracle this week. Moving from one node utilizing all of my allocated resources onto four purpose built nodes. Also redesigning the infrastructure to make it easier to share resources with the fam. Hopefully I get to execute the plans this weekend. I'm excited to stand up all of these systems and connect them together.

Switched to KDE. It feels a little heavy compared to Gnome. It's a fair tradeoff though, because you can make it look sick as fuck. It feels like rainmeter was built into a DE.

This is incredible.
