Paul Simon was prescient!

Lasers in the jungle indeed.

Reminds me of a pterosaur somehow.

With extra bonus: write an installer script that symlinks the files to the correct place. Use Ansible, plain old Bash, or Python depending on your preference.

Create a dotfiles repo in git. Gives you a way to track changes to your .bashrc or .zshrc

Mid 90s at work as a project support technician in Sony Broadcast R&D in the UK. Slackware, then red hat mostly. Installed Linux boxes in various digital TV stations in London in 1999/2000, used to insert interactive games into the broadcast stream.

I was a sysadmin from 99 to about 2018, from then onwards I’m more DevOps. Done a bunch of stuff with CentOS too, including migrating 500k email accounts to our hosted solution. Other cool stuff included a VMware based development environment using Foreman + FreeIPA to auto provision dev VMs with all sorts of puppet code.

Now at home I run Fedora and work on macOS, writing Terraform and Python. And some nodejs too.

Been at it a long ass time now lol

I can see several motives for him buying twitter.

Get trump elected, Because:

a) less taxes for the musky chodelet

b) less pesky safety and labour regulation for tesla/spacex/neuralink

c) drop support for Ukraine so he gets a shot at the rare minerals underneath it when russia has full control.

He’s a useful idiot for trump and putin. Still not sure what the saudi angle is, though.

The x rules being: get trump back in the Whitehouse at any cost.

So envious! Looks amazing.

Not if the gulf stream shuts down. Then the UK will be more like an ice cube.

They’ll still all vote Republican.

I always wanted to see a TIE Defender rebuilt by the B-Wing builders. Like, the new Republic gets the Defender plans, and builds their own version.

Ayyy, lmao

:/

Mitch McConnell.

Jimmy Carter.

American Democracy.

Good lord. Given the choice, I don’t know which is the better option: dropping $50k on virtual spaceships, or dropping $50k on women on Chaturbate.

Or just spend it on Lego, at least you’ll have something tangible to own.

I read the NY times article. I suggest you do so too.

I always wondered what happened to that wraith dude that SG Atlantis tried to make back into a human. I guess he got to Earth and joined Starfleet.

I prefer Techno Viking

Possibly offtopic, I wrote a guide to setting up zsh on macOS: https://gist.github.com/aclarknexient/0ffcb98aa262c585c49d4b3f3ae24019
