What do you do with people who ignore emails because they're busy doing "more important" things" and then complain that they didn't know about what you mailed them and have now checked in broken code based on their ignorance?
Holy shit! I didnt realise that a fire in in the mid-north coast of NSW had been burning for 7 months. Apparently it was in dehydrated wetlands, and they had to pump seawater into the area to control it. The latest heavy rains finally extinguished it.

Ouch! I'm in this [picture] and I don't like it!
#DevOps and a bit of #infosec.
I was supposed to have a dental check up this morning. Overnight, a change blew in and I awoke to find the air filled with smoke, so I've rescheduled my appointment.
@pzmyers not from me. I have been worried on and off about where cancel culture is going and Natalie pinpoints the problems, although not as succinctly as usual. There is definitely elements of virtue signalling and tribalism in how accountability has been twisted out of shape 😢
Merry Christmas, everyone. I may not be a very active member of the Fediverse but I appreciate you, each and every one for all your contributions
Seattle Police officers recorded running into pedestrians with their bikes on crowded sidewalks and then arresting the victims for assault.
I watched The Godfather last night. This Coppola fellow has some talent and I hope Hollywood gets behind him so he can make more good movies
