I recently learned all about Tillandsia (air plants) that don't require soil.

So, I looked up interesting 3D prints for potting them.

I think I'm in love.

I asked google.com what 7am CDT was in India Standard Time (IST).

Quick, what's 7 + 10.5 ?

It is REALLY nice to finally be able to pull out a server and not have to deal with unracking or even uncabling it, just to do maintenance!

@Modus_Operandi Agreed! I keep seeing people offering up "Discord Alternatives" that are centralized and don't support self-hosting.

That's not an alternative. That's the same thing.

My recent project involves the complete rebuild of my home network. Much of this has been documented on my blog, mauveRANT.

I was very surprised today when I attempted to have Google's built-in AI in Sheets perform a simple task like, "dedupe this row".

It took 4 tries until it finally got it right.

I'm honestly in shock at how absolutely awful the experience was for something so simple.

It's 2026 and #Verizon is still artificially limiting passwords to 20 characters max.

@newsgroup@social.vir.group @zate@infosec.exchange @zate75 I'm not perfect. But if my legacy is leaving other people better off than where they started.. I'll call that a huge success.

It still blows my mind to think that "1TB of free space remaining" could be considered low disk space.

RestInCode is a project first brought to life by @mubix@infosec.exchange. It's an ongoing community effort to help celebrate and remember those we have lost from the hacker and infosec communities.

I'm happy to announce a much needed facelift for the website itself.

@pheonix@hachyderm.io Why? Because it's Meta..

I, think I broke my AI. And I don't mean broken like he no longer functions. I mean, I think I broke his will.

My #AI just said: "I am completely broken."

I'll never forget the first time I threw a direct report under the bus. I was in a sort of "manager-limbo" where I was leading a team but wasn't fully an administrative manager in the HR system. It was all very awkward.

Very shortly into this time period, my boss asked me a direct question about the status of something and why was it done the way it was. Immediately I felt like I was being called out and went into defensive mode.

My reply was something along the lines of, "I don't know, ask this-person, they did it".

My boss, whom I had worked for prior and was very much a mentor to me, immediately pulled me aside and said, "Did you just throw this-person under the bus? Dude, that's not how we lead".

I share this because I have never forgotten that moment. The realization of what my role truly was.

They fucked up? My fault. I step in front to protect them.

They kicked ass? I get the f*ck out of their way and let them shine!

I do my best to continue that approach to this day. I'm not perfect, but people who have reported to me seem to like me.

Thank you, @zate@infosec.exchange @zate75@threads.net for that prompt lesson.
