If you have a US social security number you were affected. Your data was released into the wild and your SSN is compromised.

A spaceship landed, and an alien emerged.
"Greetings, Humans," it said. "We have come to talk to you about religion."
The watching crowd began to boo. Undeterred, the alien went on.
"The core message of most of your religions is correct: Be excellent to each other. Follow that."

@IrisKalmia More like Excellent CHOICE...

Although you may find yourself unnaturally attracted to rough, unrefined but fun european bikes.. or weird bikes like Moto Guzzi's in the future.

Apparently I outsmarted myself yesterday.

Was going over a review of the deploy that went sideways yesterday, came back with some remediation items. He was like "Go ahead and take care of those."

Five minutes later I find they are all already done... go check cloudtrail and audit log for internal stuff to find I did them yesterday during the time I spent trying to fix that bad deploy.

Tech.. Ops vs Dev sorta 

I'm sorry mr uk dev... I know it is after 11pm for you but if you want me to run drop database on a production rds database.. you are going to spell out exactly which instance and db in the ticket.. not "the service database" when there are 5 of them

re: Non-Binary Rant (~) 

@mawr Changing your own vocabulary is fucking hard. I've been trying to remove *christian derived swears from my curse bank for years... shit is hard.

Pronouns are hard.. language shifts are fucking hard.

*God, any references to other christian figures... because I'm not and never will be christian plus.. Gods damn them sounds so much better.. lets be honest.. why have one god damn someone when you can have multiple! :P

Non-Binary Rant (~) 

I'm non-binary! My pronouns are they/them.

That means I am only correctly gendered by a few close friends because correcting off-binary means giving a dozen daily Gender 101 lectures to impatient/argumentative audiences who will assuredly continue to misgender me because language shifts are fucken hard.

Hell, I misgender myself pretty regularly, and I've been an enby for years now.

I don't hold it against people 'cause that takes a lot of energy, too. :blob_grinning_sweat:

Developing new allergies sucks so much. and not in the fun kind of way, either.

Work stuff, Getting it, take that imposter syndrome 

This is not something super amazing or anything but I just wrote a cloudformation template from scratch for a full stack deployment with all the monitoring in place to directly integrate with Pagerduty and Slack in about two hours.. And it went off without a hitch.

I feel actually competent at this whole SRE thing beyond advising engineering on best practices and how to implement them. (Which aside from running deploys for some other teams has been my primary role while my other team members handled this sort of work)

@mawr I might have to take some time off and do that once one of my major projects is wrapped up.

re: Car Woes, Sadness Subura why no turbos anymore.. 

Honestly it is a fucking crime the 2.4 turbo in the Ascent isn't available in the Forester. I just have no desire for a vehicle that is that basically a bus..

Car Woes, Sadness Subura why no turbos anymore.. 

So my lease is up on the Wobblura in 5 months.. (2017 Forester XT)

I was kinda toying with trading up but apparently Subura ditched the 2.0 XT engine last year..

Looks like I have to find a way to keep the Wobblura.. and maybe replace the head unit because the only thing I don't like about it is the lack of support for Android Auto..

Keeping shouldn't be too difficult.. I'm just kinda bummed and a lil intimidated at the idea of replacing the head unit in it with something else (7 inch touch display built in but is poorly utilized because their onboard software kinda sucked back in 2017.)

I had a feeling that was the case! You just came to mind as a the fixmawr

re: horny, subping. 

@IrisKalmia Good Toys probably deserve whatever caused that~

@kistaro @mawr Not sure if you still rocking all those tools.. or your plush mitts are up to the task but..

There’s a dude out here demonstrating with a REPENT OR PERISH sign. I’m changing into my most ostentatious gay pride ensemble and coming back.

bleh... surprise "inspection" of our smoke detectors on Tuesday which our property manager is going to use as a pretext to inspect the whole house
