Sometimes you feel old. Sometimes you feel even older when you realize that you weren't exactly young back then either...

A bit nerdy, a bit into 3D printing.. yeah, that's me.
Michael Stapelberg 🐧🐹😺PSA: Did you know that it’s **unsafe** to put code diffs into your commit messages?
Like https://github.com/i3/i3/pull/6564 for example
Such diffs will be applied by patch(1) (also git-am(1)) as part of the code change!
This is how a sleep(1) made it into i3 4.25-2 in Debian unstable.
Hrefna (DHC)I really wish people would stop sharing that friggin "2-3 bottles of water per query" quote.
It's flat wrong. Not even misleading: it is outright misinformation.
🚨 INCIDENT REPORT: Auditory Perimeter Breach
Status: TERMINATED
Final Recovery State: Failed
Impact: 100% loss of #Whamageddon eligibility
Timeline of Events:
- Approximately 2 hours prior: Environment was stabilized. Coffee levels were nominal.
- At 10:30: Subject (me) established a position on the sofa.
- At 10:45: Technician A entered the sector and initialized a mobile device.
- At 10:50: Technician A interacted with a social media "Story" element.
- At 10:50:41: Auditory sensors detected a suspicious 120bpm sleigh bell pattern.
- At 10:50:42.08: System identified the distinct "Last Christmas" synthesizer lead.
- At 10:50:42.1194: George Michael confirmed to be "giving his heart away" via 12.5kHz audio stream.
Root Cause:
Audio egress filtering was not enabled on proximate mobile endpoints. The "Home Sanctuary" firewall lacked the necessary physical isolation (headphones) to prevent the rogue transmission during high-risk holiday windows.
Remediation:
None. System state has transitioned to WHAM_VALHALLA. Monitoring will resume in December 2026.
Andrew GallagherThe greatest barrier to #sustainable urban #planning is that people who can afford to drive everywhere *actively prefer* urban designs that are openly hostile to non-drivers - because it keeps the less-affluent out of the neighbourhood. Cul de sacs, meanders, 2m boundary walls. All designed - intentionally - to make walking and cycling impractical. Unless there is national legislation to mandate #accessible streets, no developer will build them - because that would reduce the unit sale price.

This is why cycling is so common in cities like Oulu. It's not because "people are just built different", but because cycling is made easy and safe. In fact, even the snowed-over side of the cycle path is still usable and safe for now, but preventative maintenance makes the cyclepath safe and usable throughout the whole year.

Watching gemini-cli try to edit a file has been... illuminating.
I now understand why AI tools are struggling. If my job was to write regex to modify other regex strings all day, I'd probably start hallucinating too.
Stay strong, little buddy.
