I may be the most certified person you’ve ever met. Years of IT experience in network management and security. Recently retired from the military. Interested in using creative channels, like games, to teach cyber risk to risk owners.

Cat picture booster. Multi-craftual. Unashamed public knitter.

Someone who passes a nontrivial proportion of their work thru an LLM is acting as a meat API and can be meaningfully automated away.

Sometimes it needs to be presented just like this.

(From a report submitted by the Victoria Police (AU) to the Commonwealth Parliamentary Joint Committee Inquiry into law enforcement's capability to respond to cybercrime.)

Friends, take this PSA: don’t push your body past its limit. If you’re sick, find ways to get rest or moments of self-appreciation. You can do permanent damage by pushing past pain.

Currently fighting someone as stubborn as me into not permanently destroying their body.

Part of what I'm sayin here is that men should be aggressively in favour of feminism if they wanna see more butts.

New: A judge refuses to throw out the FTC's repair monopoly lawsuit against John Deere. Means two major antitrust suits over its repair practices are going to trial, which is a big deal:

John Deere Must Face FTC Lawsuit Over Its Tractor Repair Monopoly, Judge Rules

Deere now must face two different major lawsuits over the repairability of its tractors.

Apropos of nothing in particular.

My pub has a stronger CoC than a lot of mastodon instances.

David - Forking Mad Apr 10

@basil no fosters! But....

It's the pub's rules so nothing to discuss.

I don't wanna raise a war here: However ... Tried Fosters decades ago in Germany and it was actually quite OK. Maybe because it was a camouflaged #HoPiHaLiDo (if unsure type it into German Wikipedia 😁 )

David Marsden Apr 10

@basil you can’t beat a strong CoC and a pint of anything that isn’t Fosters.

@basil
I like the Beastie Boys reference 😊

@basil No Fosters. Amen.

@basil no sleep till Brooklyn is a nice touch <3

@basil What’s with the “no pink gin”?

@mahryekuh If I recall it started life as an FAQ:
- We don't stock pink gin
- We don't have fosters
- We don't accept American Express

Then snowballed one day into a CoC / FAQ hybrid.

@basil I like the sign, but I have some questions.

Why no pink gun and no fosters. I don't understand why those are on the list.

What does no sleep till brooklyn mean?

No Sleep till Brooklyn - Wikipedia

@mcSlibinas @culper @basil Showing my age by not needing to ask. lol

@culper @basil Frees up cellar space for non-piss. No Sleep til Brooklyn is Beastie Boys.

Paul Turnbull 🇨🇦May 22

@basil I would drink there.

@Chigaze I'm going there right now.

Paul Turnbull 🇨🇦May 22

@basil While my local doesn't have a sign like that I know they would approve all those items. :)

*|FNAME|* 🇨🇦🇺🇦🇬🇱May 22

@basil
They had me at “15% off on takeouts”. 😉

@basil absolutely NO FOSTER'S on MY instance!!

Radieschen May 22

Keith Williams May 22

I knew it was one or the other, haven't been there for years.

whats up with that pink gin rule?

Jens Elbæk May 23

@basil No pink gin!

Wintermute_BBS May 23

@basil the last point is my favourite one!

@basil every mastodon instance should have 15% off on takeouts c:

@maya RIGHT!?!

@maya @basil ‘Makeouts’ is spelt with an m.

@melivia @basil dw those are free <3

@basil No fashion police, but the gin police are welcome.

LillyLyle/Count Melancholia May 23

@basil I guess that pub doesn't have a pornography problem, unlike some Mastodon instances, as it's not on the list 😂

@basil it's also much more to the point

Lunaphied May 23

@basil they should offer 15% off for trans people

dirty badwrong person May 23

@basil honestly tempted to just steal this picture for ifwhenever i roll my own instance

@basil @gazebo_c I'm a wee bit upset about the "no pink gin" rule

Cosima (she/her)May 27

@sashag I was also wondering but I know too little about Gin at all that I could form an opinion ☺️
@basil

@gazebo_c @sashag
So, the board was originally just a simple FAQ.

The bar was asked several times a day for pink gin, and they don't stock any. So they made the sign:
We don't have pink gin
We don't have fosters.
We don't accept American express.

A few months later they added the CoC stuff up top, and I suspect they changed it to the "No X" pattern just so they could hit the Beastie Boys reference at the end.

Charlotte May 26

@basil Now I want to give them as much business as possible 😄

spiegelmama May 26

@basil Now all I can think about is pink gin. I have never had pink gin, the product nor the cocktail. This might have to change.

@basil what does CoC mean?

@book code of conduct

Kev Quirk May 27

@basil no Fosters 🤣🤣
