Sorry for the late thread. We just had a quick grandma visit here. There were a couple projects yesterday that turned into long drawn out messes and my time got sucked away to who knows where. Happy Weekend however! Today is Fortune Cookie day. What's your funniest or most memorable fortune? I want to hear more about this yuge snake @dixiebandit69 relocated. Are snakes super docile after eating a big meal? I'm interested in hearing more about this crowdstrike debacle. Is everything still broken? Happy Saturday, idiots. I had a productive day and got a nap in, too. The duck area was super gross but is now nice and fresh. I cut some soap too. Stay hydrated this weekend.
We played our second of three music festivals this past weekend and I got to see some old friends I don’t see often. Our Friday set was good but yesterday’s was even better resulting in our first demand for an encore at a music festival and a quandary for me.
The fix for it appears to be deleting a single file. I'm glad I'm on PTO because we have thousands of VMs with Windows and CS on it and I know our engineering team had to work through the entire weekend on it. So happy it's not my problem.
Awesome. Glad you aren't on the hook for that. Somebody post a link of their CEO crying please. I was being goofy and somewhat embarrassing to my kid by dancing silly to a song that was on and got told, "Go make some soap mom." I guess that's the new "fuck off." My house smells awesome because I have a carrot cake in the oven up here and made a citrus soap downstairs. It's a good day to have a nose.
We had several hundred but were able to mitigate it reasonably well. I fully expect we'll have a couple dozen more tomorrow. The biggest pain in the ass was having to type in the 48 character recovery key for Bitlocker early in the day. We were at least lucky enough to have the PINs in two different places so we were well covered there. About mid-day someone figured out a way to get around it with some code on a PXE boot USB which should be helpful for servers at least or if you have a PXE server that's generally accessible. There's also apparently a zero-day to get around Bitlocker altogether. Anyone aware of a tool like a Yubikey that can store a Bitlocker PIN and type it out like the OTP on the Yubikey?
In my experience: once you get “You will be successful at everything,” you stop caring about the fortune cookies.
The day before I left Virginia to sail St Maarten, I got one that said, "You will be showered with riches". I bought a lottery ticket, whichever one had the highest jackpot, and we left. I arrived in St Maarten to find I had not won the lottery. And, you have to conserve water, so I wasn't showered with anything over that 13 day period.
Today is the day the kids from the local children's home come to the neighborhood for a day of watersports. I made 84 cupcakes last night, going to frost them in a bit. It's going to be kinda cold, about 79 degrees, but clearing up after a morning rain.
@Rush-O-Matic you might be interested to know that if you search for "Transparent Try-On Hauls" on YouTube, you get stuff like this:
Latina Hooker tries on hooker clothes. I’ll allow it. Im guessing it’ll be yanked quicker than educational nude yoga videos.
I appreciate you thinking of me, but the video has been removed. And, I'm not sure I want to search that: is it "Transparent" or is it "trans-parent"?
I will say, Hawk Tuah girl is doing a nice job cashing in on her 15 minutes. https://www.tiktok.com/@jaxwritessongs/video/7394584646685609258
I didn't look to verify, but I saw a comment that she's been posting dogs from shelters on her Instagram and it's helping get a significant number of dogs adpoted
The new despicable me fart gun that uses scented smoke oil to produce fart rings, will set off your smoke alarms if you fire it at them repeatedly.
