Animated xkcd 2347.
I originally made this after the backdooring attempt of the XZ Utils repo by some entity named Jia Tan was discovered, but without sound. Finally, it is available in stereo, headphones recommended.
Damned, the whole thing was discovered in march 2024! The relevance of this clip might be like a sine wave, hopefully not, but we'll see :P

I’m sure @mmasnick.bsky.social feels this.
All modern digital Infrastructure
Thank you #xkcd
So I've printed the "All modern infrastructure" #xkcd and learned a few things:
1. On big surfaces the ironing flowrate is too low.
2. My settings for the "grid" support structures are so phenomenally bad that I accidentally made a statement about code in the backend or under the hood often being really scuffed. 😅
