I think my boss is onto me.

He just told me to stop eating plutonium...

hey: do you like communism, giant robots, complex considerations of gritty-but-optimistic future worlds, near-godlike artificial life, and the human scale impact all these things have? get you a copy of LANCER, because ~it's free forever~

AIs and intrigue and devious plots, spaceships and lasers in warehouse sized lots. Genders, explosions and planets with rings,

These are a few of my favorite things!

Bleh... this is weird feeling... grumpy that I'm working from home today because we have an inspection...

because I actually enjoy the company of my team members in the office. What the actual fuck?

A Silly Feature Request 

Posting a toot does not actually post the toot publicly for a full 30 seconds while I actually read the mangled derp-words my big ol ✨plush✨ paffers managed to boop into the keyboard and realize it's barely comprehensible, thus requiring a redraft

...5 times

So that I don't keep causing

Bleh.. Tonight's Theme: Disappointment 

Came home with some fajitas from a place I usually get a burrito or tamales (which they do both really well) only the fajitas... are super mediocre.. like not inedible but just meh... somehow..

While I am eating my meh fajita plate.. get an email from an artist for a thing I commissioned 2 months ago.. it is explicit art stuff, I don't do that terribly often... and subject I'd normally be fond off with one Aurora's characters.. only somehow... they got Sam's bottom bits wrong.. go back to see what the refs I sent them were and it is mostly my fault... because they are all SFW and one has a slight bulge in a skirt... and I suppose I didn't specify... so it is probably my fault.. and great fucks it has me way more down than I expected... it wasn't something terribly expensive... 2.5 hours of work at my current pay scale... but it really fucking bummed me out.

re: Equifax Settlement Perspective 

The average lifetime earnings in the US is 2.7m USD.

This number is heavily skewed upward by the wealthy elite as the average lifetime wage for a high graduate is 1.1m USD and for an associate degree holder is 1.7m USD.

Equifax Settlement Perspective 

The settlement was for 700m USD. Rough estimate of the US population in 2019 is around 330 million people.

You could pay every single US resident a onetime payment of approximately 2.12 million USD from it.

Equifax is still in business.

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."

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

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)

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.)

broken bank windows and
shiny guillotines,
punk pins and patches and
worn vests made of jeans,
molotovs flying
while we seize the means
these are a few of
my FAVORITE THINGS 🤘
