I love concert day. The anticipation of preparing to play is as enjoyable as playing and having played.

@thomasareed@infosec.exchange yeah. Hard pass on that part of town. Congrats to your family on their new doctors!!
@thomasareed@infosec.exchange Get out of the Downtown Core if you can! Come up to Brookland (to the Monastery, or the Basilica!) or to Adams Morgan (and get out of the car and walk around).
@chrisatzinger@mastodon.social Not sure exactly how this rolls with Apple Business! Is there a Managed Apple Account signed into the Mac?
Is there an Apple Business policy for Activation Lock?
@ebooksyearn@thepit.social I've used Thermacells a lot: https://www.thermacell.com
They're very good at Mosquitoes, but it's inadvisable to run them all the time because they'll do any flying insect like bees.
I'm a DC Resident, and today I paid a big check to the Feds for my taxes, like I do every year. Each of the last 16 years, I've not had anyone I can call who has my back on the Hill. DC's 700,000 residents are disenfranchised.
It sucks, and it's bullshit, but it's also fixable. Admit DC as a State. It's just that simple.
This video goes out to @marcoarment@mastodon.social and @caseyliss@mastodon.social and all the rest of the UniFi-Switches-Are-Cool gang...

@gruber@mastodon.social The APFS bell following @siracusa@mastodon.social to The Talk Show made me laugh aloud in my office this morning. Strong pull.
Really enjoying the Count of Monte Cristo on PBS. It's an all-timer of a revenge story that I'm definitely not thinking about for a lot of current cultural reasons.
@thomasfuchs@hachyderm.io LLMs aren't knowledge engines.
Did my annual physical this week and my docs ran a standard blood panel. My tests are all "normal" or "good" results.
It feels like I got an A+ on blood tests.
Yes I am totally a normal human being and not at all type A.
Today we're celebrating 10 years of the Mac Admins Podcast! We've done more than 450 shows, countless guests & topics, and a whole bunch more.

@gedeonm@mastodon.social pretty sure they're both 1-2 on worst years of the century so far.

@gedeonm@mastodon.social for me, 2025 felt worse because we saw it all coming and let it happen (or had it happen) anyway. 2020 was bad, but it felt like it was all happening TO us.
