About 15 minutes in, it goes completely fucking bonkers. :D

I have these bloody things in 5 locations around the world ranging from China to Hungary, and because they keep passing packets, until I checked the switches themselves, I had no idea of the failure condition. D:

(And no, we weren't looking at SNMP since they were used as fairly dumb access switches, but holy shit am I implementing that now for anything in the future!)

PSA: Linksys LGS552 switches are steaming piles of shit. 11/17 failed in about 12 months, and some of those switches have only been installed for a couple months.

Something silently corrupts their firmware, or they fail outright. They keep passing packets until rebooted, but the management CPU is toast.

I discovered this accidentally today while troubleshooting something else, then checked a few switches and freaked out. D:

@mawr The best days BY FAR are the days where you have more functionality *and* less code at the end. :D

I love you all so very much.

May you find bounty and fortune;
may hardship turn to joy.

May your gardens bear fruit,
and may you eat your fill.

This you deserve.
This you have earned.

And, as always,
may you dream of wonders.

My salty thoughts on Node.js 

"I want to write server-side code but I only know JS super well. Hmmm.."

I found this screw and thought "hey that's a weird nail" … it took a while but my trusty hammer and I managed to get it driven in just fine

My salty thoughts on Node.js 

@mawr Oh gosh. XD

This is the most powerful essay I've read in *years*.

Hey guys, I know a few of you have abandoned twitter more or less, but my AD still resides there. For those with access, you might want to have a look. Something beautiful happened tonight. <3

Politics 

@KawaSeadrake Gosh I hope so. I expect an utter meltdown as soon as orange hears of it.

@KawaSeadrake RIGHT? This isn't over, but fuck sakes they were trying to destroy *everything* in order to get this done.

Trying to Build a Mastodon Instance 

@mawr I don't know. D: I think the idea is that you use Docker instead of VMs because transferring VMs takes a while. (And containers are a lot lighter weight.)
