  If I can't trust that the #Linux kernel won't be slop-free, looks like it's time to consider #BSD for the first time in three decades or so. Therefore, I'm going to need some input. Advice on which BSD for desktop use. Will I be screwed in terms of gaming (my laptop has a 5070) via Steam/wine/Proton? #FreeBSD :freebsd: #OpenBSD :openbsd: #NetBSD :netbsd: #BastilleBSD #UNIX #LazyWeb #LazyFedi

  One of my great sources of anxiety is that I never know what I'm supposed to be doing with my tongue. When my dentist is at work. Why, what were you thinking?

  I caught up on the recent BBC #Brexit documentary. Apart from all the usual takeaways about the Leave campaign's lies (and they didn't mention the campaign's law-breaking), again and again, I found myself thinking one thing: How has nobody ever just told Jeremy #Corbyn to grow up? #politics #UKPolitics

  A certain crisp brand has an advertising campaign featuring several retired footballers (and Messi because he works for Beckham) as well as Steve Carrel for some reason. In it, they have run out of crisps and Beckham, because he now lives in Miami, where the ad is set, knows where to get some. They go to the supermarket but, despite having more money than the people there could see in their lifetimes, they get them to share their crisps rather than just buying some.

  I am in general boycotting Trump's #WorldCup. I might get up for the #PrideMatch though.

  Much of my internal monologue is in the voice of "Well, since you ask me..." Finnemore.

  Listening to a podcast. Aaron Burr shooting a guy (duel with Alexander Hamilton) is mentioned. I immediately stop it and watch Stirred. #WestWing

  It seems it could have been a lot worse. The actual underlying numbers (grateful to Peter Kellner here) suggest the air is already going out of the #ReformUK balloon, they seem significantly down on last year's results in terms of proportion of seats won. Only two (so far) councils have been won by them - people are seeing their record in power and starting to turn against them. As it was with the BNP before, so it is with #Reform. #politics #UKPolitics #LocalElections

  No #LocalElections where I am this week but if you do have one, the top priority is to stop #ReformUK so vote for the other candidate most likely to win if you're somewhere where #Farage's hard right scum have a chance. Second priority is to get/keep the #Tories out so same process applies. #politics #UKPolitics

  If you say "folder" instead of "directory", you don't play at my level. Many of my actual colleagues, I'm looking at you. #UNIX #Linux #SysAdmin #DevOps

  If you have production systems where the system clock is set to local time not UTC, you are a sociopath. If you also have it adjust with Daylight Savings, you should just be locked up for the good of society. #SysAdmin #DevOps

  1. The tshirt cannon task is one of the best tasks in all 21 seasons so far. 2. The final task was hands-down the best stage task ever. 3. If you're going to fuck with one contestant, Dommett is the guy to fuck with. 4. A great lineup who seem to have bonded. 5. He's so famous! #Taskmaster

  Sometimes I do pub quizzes solo and when I do, I use the "team" name One Man, No Drum Machine, No Trumpet. Is that way too niche?

  Tonight, with the exception of the place that doesn't have an alcohol license, I have completed my personal project to sample every South Asian restaurant in town. I have not had a single bad meal. I am currently drinking a very good cocktail. I have a good life.
