@rgegriff @maddiefuzz no thank you, I’ll stick with the day-old hell. I can get a whole bag for a dollar!

Catching up on the Crowdstrike issue and oof let those who have never deployed a dev branch to production on Friday cast the first — you know what don’t. Some mission-critical folks all over are having a Very Bad Day.
Here have a sunrise instead.

I get the urge to be smug, but —
I mean
this is every developer’s
or at least this developer’s
worst nightmare:
a deploy fuckup that could have a body count.

@Greg We are spoiled for beautiful twilight hours in Tucson.

@farah Morning!

@thegibson suddenly feeling the urge to see this

Looks like a boost-heavy morning. Shifting to phanpy.

@cstross but the important question: what did the shirt say?
hackers.town: 2024-07-19 Fri 09:39
@thegibson can’t air-gap what isn’t breathing

That exact tape? I don’t remember which tracks, but: Dead Milkmen, Devo, Residents, Tom Waits, Depeche Mode, Skinny Puppy, The Kinks, Led Zeppelin, Primus, Prodigy, Steve Miller, closed with Residents again

@thegibson it can be inferred.

@alex Agreed on the overabundance of golden path blogging and documentation.
I’ve occasionally described my blogging approach as “confessional coding.” If something really trips me up, I’ll make a point of calling out both the symptoms and the fix.

Our printer did not survive the move.
Considering my opinion of HP printers these days, I have mixed feelings at best.
hackers.town: 2024-07-19 Fri 16:45
@grmpyprogrammer I will keep that in mind!
This was the first time we maybe needed a printer since before we moved, so it’s not the most urgent concern.

hrm
Always fun getting a jump scare from one’s selected classless CSS dependency that gives you such reasonable defaults.
MVP.css sees an <em> inside the text of a link, it makes it look like a button.
A reasonable default.
Except right now. Ah well, time to fiddle a bit more with the CSS

I’ve got simple tag links working, which for the public brain will mostly help me show off my tagging system for bookmarks.
(I lean hard on Logseq namespaces for tagging — a sort of “is-a” classification of link types, usually with another tag pointing at a relevant topic page)
