    They should do a live action remake of Wacky Races. The Rock IS Grape Ape. Jack Black IS Dick Dastardly. Emily Blunt IS Penelope Pitstop. Starring Pedro Pascal as Muttley

    Does anyone have a favorite guide for de-googling their lives? I’ve got a personal Google workspace account and I’ve lived with the ick long enough. Time to eject and go some combination of indie, open source and self-hosted. #lazyweb #degoogle #selfhosting #askfedi

    RE: https://mas.to/@carnage4life/116969568867505760 My country is run by vain fragile men. Let&#39;s review: * The President is so vain, he can be bribed with gold trinkets large and small. The FIFA Medal of Peace. Qatar&#39;s &quot;new&quot; Air Force One. * The Secretary of Defense has a makeup studio IN HIS OFFICE yet removed women and people of color from the promotion list, and worships at the knee of a pastor who doesn&#39;t think women should vote. * Elon Musk is so racist and fragile h...

    Finally watching Spider-Noir. It’s gorgeous in black and white. I’m on episode three and it’s pretty silly, but it’s so pretty, I’ll probably finish it.

    Hello, network nerds, my ISP doesn’t provide a DHCP server in their modem and I have a fair number of devices that need static IPs. My needs are modest for my home network. I already have WiFi taken care of, I just need a thing that can sit between the modem and wifi to do DHCP and some static IPs and DNS and some security maybe. What should I get that’s not stupid expensive? #askfedi

    RE: https://hachyderm.io/@mekkaokereke/116909282718772203 There’s this politeness in whiteness that we expect from people outside of it that has to die. Dear fellow white people: we aren’t the decorum police. The thing we criticize the most in the GOP: the need to control everyone but themselves, we also do in all of the rules we unevenly apply to others. Let people live.

    I’ll eat the grilled meats and consume my weight in ranch dip, but I’m just not feeling it this year. There are no fireworks in my soul. No patriotic M80’s bursting with pride in my heart this year. It’s just… nope… not even a little sparkler.

    I&amp;#39;m thinking about how to have a single static site that&amp;#39;s an archive of EVERYTHING (34k old tweets, 3k+ mastodon posts, 7k public Flickr photos, 2.5k blog posts) that doesn&amp;#39;t take forever to compile and thought of git submodules. And then I stopped thinking about it.

    What’s in the overlap in the Venn diagram of Radical Acceptance and Malicious Compliance?

    I am not feeling the most productive right now because I shipped a BIG THING I WORKED BIG EFFORT ON, so I am amusing myself with @beep&amp;#39;s very fine images. You may also want to amuse yourself with Ethan&amp;#39;s very fine images: https://bukk.it/?C=M;O=D - don&amp;#39;t be productive; be amused. #FuckProductivity #BeAmused #AltTextIsCool

    Kevin&amp;#39;s Crucial Track June 5, 2026: &amp;quot;Deadly Valentine&amp;quot; by Charlotte Gainsbourg Today is the last day of France Week and I picked an artist I don&amp;#39;t know very well, Charlotte Gainsbourg (well, other than this song, which has been on a _bunch_ of playlists because it&amp;#39;s awesome). #CrucialTracks View entry: https://www.crucialtracks.org/profile/kpl/20260605

    I said &amp;quot;dagnabbit&amp;quot; in Slack just now in an answer to a very serious question and then used a gif of Yosemite Sam, LIKE A GODDAMN PROFESSIONAL. Dear God, it is SO very Friday at almost 5 o&amp;#39;clock.

    My wife and I are watching Bodies on Netflix, and someone says “as I live and wheeze,” and I am 100% stealing it. Also, we’re only on episode four. I like it so far. Very mystery. Much wondering. Wow. :confused_dog:

    No new artist today, so you get more Air! This song is practically a lullaby, in the best way: https://www.crucialtracks.org/profile/kpl/20260528

    I blogged because it&amp;#39;s almost halfway through 2026 and I figured it was time to check in on my intentions for the year: https://lawver.net/2026/05/how-is-2026-going-anyway/

    Ummm, I think this place has radicalized me. I just went on an epic rant about &amp;quot;legacy social media&amp;quot; in a thread on the work Slack. Way to go, Fediverse, you magnificent bastards.

    In other news, I am writing a love story about OAuth: &amp;quot;When a client and server love each other very much, they ask a user for a grant, and then the client asks the server to exchange a code for a token... and y&amp;#39;all, that&amp;#39;s LOVE.&amp;quot;

    My favorite comment to leave when I approve a PR is &amp;quot;SHIP IT&amp;quot;. When I&amp;#39;m tired, I spoonerize it and it sometimes becomes &amp;quot;SHIT IP&amp;quot; which is not what I mean at all.

    I boosted this a minute ago, but this is why the fediverse is the best. This is the nerdiest, funniest, and most informative rant/thread/comedic essay you will ever read about solar power. It’s the best! https://retro.social/@ifixcoinops/116376143702970418

    How much do I love my omg.lol account? It doesn&#39;t expire for TWELVE more years. I think I added more time during a big sale a couple of years, but, it&#39;s great. I&#39;m not even SUPER involved in everything (not on Discord, for example) but everything I am involved in is great, and everyone I&#39;ve met, up to and including @neatnik@social.lol, has been lovely. If you want to join a lovely little corner of the internet, not sure you&#39;ll find a better one than https://omg.lol.

    OAuth is so fun. I haven&amp;#39;t blasphemed this much in ages. I&amp;#39;ve slandered gods I&amp;#39;ve never even worshipped.

    Do you work on code? Do you code with other people? Your main branch is a commons. If the build for main is broken, it&amp;#39;s up to everyone to fix it. It doesn&amp;#39;t matter who broke it. Save that discussion for the post mortem so you can figure out how they were able to break it, so you can fix it, so it doesn&amp;#39;t happen again. And celebrate whoever fixed it, because they performed a service to the community. Thank you for fixing the build for everyone! And then celebrate th...
