I tend not to care about who I am or others are. I care more about what they talk about and how. I don't mean to sound too dramatic or serious. I'm actually playful. I can chatter with anyone as long as there's any point for it. Usually I take things lightly, especially online. Some things have to be taken seriously, although joking is joking. I try not to "freeze" people in my mind - if someone has one bad day, I still try to meet the person respectfully on an equal ground next time, instead of labeling the person a douche. I think that this kind of resilience would maintain better conversation with different people, which is vital for any meaningful progress of the sides of humanity that we cannot really claim to be proud of. Without good interaction, how could big problems be solved? Anyway, oh whoopsie, maybe this was some kind of a description of myself :) Or maybe not? We tend to have many roles in the world, for others and ourselves...

Sun is quite bright, I can see that.

Star explodes, that's a supernova. It's brighter than all other stars in the same galaxy (there are 100-400 billion stars in a galaxy. And 200 trillion galaxies in the universe btw. And 200 billion trillion stars in the observable universe btw).

Star collapses into a black hole. The explosion is brighter than a million supernovae for some time.

Quasars outshine a supernova for millions of years at a time. Quasars are about stars collapsing into a black hole in the centre of a galaxy - large ones have several stars collapsing in a day.

Conditions are still more extreme in the black hole’s interior (within the surface of no return known as the ‘event horizon’), where the very fabric of space and time may be being ripped apart.

All this is happening in a relentlessly expanding universe that began about fourteen billion years ago with an all-encompassing explosion, the Big Bang, that makes all the other phenomena described above seem mild and inconsequential by comparison.

And that whole universe is just a sliver of an enormously larger entity, the multiverse.

@jerry There is an explanation. Alley Cat, the MS-DOS game, taught that the cat must litter so that the annoying broom would stay away. Cats are indeed programmed to do that

Oh yes, time to time it's good to remember that there is and can never be a bester you than you

Hi friends. The world for some of us is a little chaotic and the fediverse is an important escape from other social media for many. But it isn’t free and most instance operators accept donations to offset their costs. If you are able and don’t already, please consider supporting your instance to help keep the fediverse alive and healthy, assuming they accept donations.

For the InfoSec/Fedia donors, I appreciate your support.

Be kind and I wish you all the best.

Next question: who/what organizations do you follow that is producing good information on improving security operations?

Thanks to the many people who replied to the last question. Good information.

See the first comment here. It's an interesting real case to a solarpunk direction

Three use cases:

1) you have a very long task (task1) running. After that would come task2. It's lunch time. CTRL-Z to pause the first playbook, fg && task2. Now first task will continue and after that the second one - while you're having lunch (if the first one doesn't fail, of course.

2) you're stopping a systemd service. It tends to take a lot of time to quit (more than 5 seconds). You don't care to wait. CTRL-Z to pause, bg to run in background. Continue business and just trust that it'll stop.

3) You have no tmux and you're configuring ocer ssh. You're editing a conf file and running the configured program consecutively. The workflow: edit, CTRL-Z out of editor, run program, doesn't work, fg to bring editor up. Iterate that

An interesting math thing about the relationship between odd numbers and powers of two:

1+3 = 2² = 4
1+3+5 = 3² = 9
1+3+5+7 = 4² = 16
1+3+5+7+9 = 5² = 25
1+3+5+7+9+11 = 6² = 36
1+3+5+7+9+11+13 = 7² = 49
1+3+5+7+9+11+13+15 = 8² = 64

And so on...

One of my guitar pedals has true bypass which is nice but then I discovered it's true Joe Pass switch and then I suddenly became a master solo jazz guitarist! #music #jazz #guitar

You know there's this site where you can search a song by name or paste e.g. a Spotify/Tidal/YouTube link? The results will offer buttons where one can choose which app/site to use to listen to it. Cool! #music #song

Example, a great song that tickles the brain: Yosi Horikawa - Bubbles
