I thought I had a fun weekend project, and really I have just ended up feeling a lot of this: https://despairlabs.com/blog/posts/2025-03-12-we-should-improve-libzfs-somewhat/

Trying to write code that manages zfs is tragically bad, I see why people give up

Zucks #Instagram being as creepy as ever …

Hey, #Aarhus, we're hiring at my dayjob, so if you're an embedded software engineer, it might be for you. We get a wide range of projects from industrial monitoring, pumps and motors, to lots of strange IoT devices.

We're also #hiring a technician for our workshop which involves lots of different things from #electronics prototype assembly, building various mechanical assemblies, router/3dprint/lathe work, running our pick-and-place machine, and what else shows up.

We had THE TALK on the #OpenZFS production user call regarding pragmatic encrypted dataset management.

The system was blinking red. https://www.theguardian.com/global-development/2026/jul/08/uk-report-ecosystem-collapse-national-threat-food-security

@lowqualityfacts *sigh* This is why we want the median and not the average. Mars Retiree Georg who wants to retire on Mars is an outlier who is making the average out of whack.

@mastodonmigration The problem with not picking an establushed politician is the unknowns. Sinema, Fetterman, and now Platner all used the left to get into power and turn their backs on what they ran on. This is a theme. Say you hate the establishment, and you get a Sanders endorsement, no need for checking things out, he’s that empty.

I, uh, wrote a thing.

I hope I don't get in trouble. 😬

@evacide Butlerian Jihad Badger makes a good alias, though. Perhaps not the acronym, though 😳
What is the new extension? I love Privacy Badger

@randahl as a German in America I'm quite happy about more Aldi

We report: we are expecting a clear sky throughout the day, but at sea, early morning, the horizon is nowhere to be found. Through the fog, the light is dull as to make the ocean look solid. We lean over to look more closely, but the surface of the water is utterly impenetrable.

@hl I love it. You are enjoying this book in the proper way. :)
