A Feathered Friend @SomeEgrets@awoo.space

I like that I spent a bunch of time really getting this one program performing well with threaded workloads because it used to run on old Pentium Ds, early Core CPUs - now that it's on modern Xeons, it barely touches 10% CPU and is IO bound on a 3x striped array.

That thing where you look at a cat, then the cat notices you're looking at them and emits a meow.

I honestly can't believe that Microsoft pushed an update that just unconditionally, by design, deleted an entire directory - especially one of the "default" ones for saving user files.

Someone really needs to make a lion oc named "Nazca"

I get the weirdest junk mail

I feel so bad that I've let photography and bird stuff lapse so much in the last... year and a half... maybe more?

I genuinely enjoy them, but just have not had... whatever it takes to actively pursue any of it.

I think maybe the takeaway from this rattlesnake video is that a lot of people mistake intimidation/aggression displays for actual aggression.

Which I mean, is kind of the point.

See, every place that line dips down to near zero? That's bad.

There's a lot of bad.
I'm not even supposed to be working today.

what if the answer to making sense of twitter is just moving RTs to their own column

You fucking sold us out, Geoffrey.

im not even supposed to be working today

jesus fuck
of course on the night of a meteor shower peak:

- we repeatedly lose power to the Very Important {REDACTED}™
- multiple disk failures on one system... os disk (thankfully mirrored) but uh, also the entire disk controller.

What is THIS nonsense?
It's the middle of Oct and I had to turn the AC back on :(

aw, I wasn't paying attention and just noticed that Steller's Sea Eagle from earlier was a shitty "own no content" account, so here's the real thing:

Since it's (Canadian) Thanksgiving today, spreading awareness of this objectively superior holiday. BIRDSTAKING - we're bringing it back (artist: @_likeshine_@twitter.com )

Cat ownership: not hesitating to stick your fingers into the maw of one of the world's most successful predator species to grab the thing your big fuzzy dumbass is eating that he absolutely should not be eating

My cat is like, pretty old in cat age, but I constantly call him "babycat"

@thingywott yeah, I dunno! For me, this is more a sort of extension of my twitter account, I guess? They're here for the same reason, and the same people - just running on a different blob of code.

I mostly just want a presence wherever the people I'm following are. I mean, yeah, twitter is bad, but most people are still there. At the same time, I don't want to lose the people who migrated away. So... I guess it's largely just mirroring?

just got a fresh bottle of my family's homemade strawberry jam so yes, I absolutely am making PB&J sandwiches at like almost 11

HAPPY BIRDSTAKING to everyone doing the holiday today instead of tomorrow.

(And to anyone else who wants to join in, it's better about that other holiday about the murdery boat guy)
