I make jokes, and Nagios plugins.
I had been wondering why it's faster to boot my Ubuntu machine at home from cold, than it is to wake my Windows laptop from sleep. Windows deciding that cache isn't a thing after waking might have something to do with it.
Tryin' to hook up a display to an Arduino, and I can't get the example code to compile. :( I should get better with C.

This poor doggo. Someone backed it into a filing cabinet and said, "it doesn't have object detection in the back. But in the front it does so it won't run into anything."

To which my brain immediately said, "Challenge accepted."

Me: Okay but what if we close this door-

Pilot: No, see, I'm running full speed at it, and it slows and stops.

Me: Ah yes, but jump is a function, not a normal control. Will it look before it leaps?

Team, it did not look before it leaped. Thunked right into that door. To its credit, it did bounce back and land on all fours.

Just another totally normal day at Nagios.

Nothing to see here, just another normal day at Nagios.
Not nerdery related. But still...
Just going to leave this right here.
Oh yeah. This is the kind of jank-ass project I would normally live stream. Unfortunately after almost 2 years in the new house, I don't have a spot to do that. Hopefully soon.

Working on the wiring in my house. Just wanted a new hall light and smrat switches. But when I took the old switches out and really dug into it, some asshole ran 5 full lines through this 2 gang box.

Some for lights, some for outlets, one I have no clue where it goes, so I'm leaving it disconnected until we find a light or outlet that doesn't work. I'm clearly going to have to do drywall repair here, and honestly I'm quite comfortable with that fact. Anything to not have to route 5 lines through a 2 gang box.

Yeeaaahhh, time to get this place under control.
I was at the Red Hat conference and referred to my laptop as the "anti-capitalist laptop of freedom." I did not make many friends. :D
