  After following 78 and 287 for a little while, it seems to have finally landed, at Somerset Airport (which is also _relatively_ close to the start of its tracked flight path, which pretty obviously picked up after takeoff) #NewJersey

  I hate Github Actions so much.

  I’m very glad to see Kelsey Hightower appears to have avoided the “AI” kool-aid.

  There some Arthurian anniversary today or something? Both #XKCD and #SMBC did King Arthur related jokes.

  OH: “Like Gibson's cyberspace and Clarke's tablet computers, Bubblegum Crisis is well-regarded as predictive science fiction by being the first to identify Boomers as a serious threat to humanity.”

  @ivory@tapbots.social any guesses as to why this toot refuses to show up (on iPadOS)? Triggers the “uh idk chief, try a browser?” popup (if searched for directly) or is just mysteriously invisible when I’m viewing one of the replies to it. https://wandering.shop/@fugueish/116903557849673420

  Some really interesting divergences in @ricci@discuss.systems’ hashtag tool, with a semi popular tech nerd instance as the medium and my home of #SocialCoop as the smol: https://tag-federation.online/#tag=caturday&servers=mastodon.social,infosec.exchange,social.coop - Caturday broadly as visible here as on infosec.exchange, both being a sizable majority of m.s.

  Packing it in. If I'm up early enough maybe I can say more goodbyes in the AM, but otherwise this is it for me and #PyConUS 🥹

  Random showerthought: wondering how much folks’ willingness to embrace “AI” correlates inversely with critical thinking skills.

  Invoke 3.0 is out! It's one of those backwards-compatible-in-all-but-name releases, though it does drop support for Python <3.9. https://www.pyinvoke.org/changelog.html#3.0.0 I say "in all but name" because there is a minor API change, and it affects Fabric, which has also gotten a tiny packaging metadata release, 3.2.3, to mark it incompatible with Invoke >=3.0. (And Fabric is now the last of my projects not to get the pyproject.toml / drop now-very-ol...

  Idly wondering how folks who are deep into personal web archiving (i.e. keeping full clones of pages or sites they've bookmarked) handle sharing those snapshots with friends or the general public, especially in this age of abusive bot scrapers. Guessing the answer is "keep it all behind lock and key, and deal with the friction that represents on both ends"? Maybe some form of ephemeral/unguessable/unlisted sharing URL? (and obviously, bespoke tactics like Anubis.) I&a...

  #Subnautica: in the bag. er…in the watertight locker? Game very good, glad I gave it a shot despite not being a big Swimming Game person nor big into Creepy Alien Jumpscares. If that describes you, you should also consider giving it a shot!

  Caught up on my sleep with a vengeance, it's utterly perfect weather outside, and it's the weekend. Naturally I was then reminded within ten minutes of waking up that - oh right, everything /else/ is still on fire and looking to get worse, not better 🫠

  PERHAPS SLIGHTLY TOO PRIVACY-CONSCIOUS POWER USERS: *gleefully disable all telemetry, even the fully anonymized stuff* THE DEVS OF THAT APP, WHICH THE USERS RELY ON EVERY DAY: huh, guess only normies use our software? And they only use it in super boring ways? Alright cool. *implements something nominally useful for boring normies, but which power users hate* THOSE POWER USERS: omg why are you doing things we don’t like instead of working on the features we use?!

  People from out of state: ugh, #NewJersey is so disgusting and ugly, also why are you asking if we've seen anything not directly between the airport and the Hudson? Obviously not, we go directly to NYC and never stop to wonder why a busy logistics corridor might be full of dirty old industrial crap. #Newark #NewJersey's Branch Brook Park: "fucking excuse me?" #springtime #CherryBlossoms

  OH: “AI programming tools have made the best programmer you know slightly more efficient, and the worst programmer you know infinitely more insufferable and dangerous.” FUCKING CO-SIGNED (albeit more the latter point…extremely few of the best programmers I know are on board with this crap.)

  The "just make one small final doc change in the morning" to "spend all day implementing/modifying significant related functionality that was unexpectedly missing" pipeline 😅 I was a good boy and did some moderate timeboxing, though, eg "huh this newer key subclass never got key writing support at all, let's add it! *hits some problems* or, let's not!". Paramiko 5 will be out soon! (Also not intending to keep up this trend o...

  OH: “This tool is great at enabling spammers and scammers, ruined web search, raised my power bills, and convinced people to kill themselves, while it's being forced on people by CEOs who are confident they can use it to put a lot of us out of work. But! if you're really careful with it, it can be as helpful as an enthusiastic intern with no life experience and the short term memory of a goldfish. Why are you so down on it?”
