At hotel cancer for a routine follow up

I used to look at P/O Barton's photo and biography at RAF Elvington when I volunteered there. It was always a bit weird, we were the same age and It used to make me think how different times were. I was a typically hedonistic 22yr old, he flew back on his own from Nuremberg and died in the grimy yard of some coal mine in the darkness.

The crypto get-rich-quick schemes have started a lot of advertising this last month. One born every minute I guess.

@claudiom@mastodon.sdf.org @fikran @stsp@bsd.network Yes, it is a matter of aptitude. I see it all (work at a university) and I can tell you some very smart people don't do computers well at all. It's all about experience and personal interest.

I get this is selling a book, but it's a good read.

Work is having a 'booster event' on a couple of days this month. Hopefully I can get my vax booster, as opposed to being sent into space.

This is a testament to the Whimsy of marketing people being siloed from operations, because they ask to do totally silly things like a bunch of redirects that make no bloody sense.

Someone has left a comment in this htaccess file that says "I am probably going to regret this". The file has 60 lines; I am already regretting reading it.

'Wanting it easy' is what got us into this fucking mess

No, it is not. The world is full of people that don't know the tool, refuse to learn the tool, and blame the tool for those shortcomings. .

I remember watching the air conditioning condenser fans chewing up big blocks of snow in a shower of flakes when it started melting on top of the fan casing.

Throwback to December 2010 in Southampton; a place that very seldom saw much snow (Geography tended to spare it from all but a dusting) but that year it got caked in it. I took this as I was called into work at 10am as I was the only person that lived locally, FML

The problem is you get one thing working for them when they've fucked up something obvious, then they bring every little thing because they don't care about minutae they just want their thing to work with no effort on their part. Tough fucking shit, it's the same for all of us.

Our job is basically security and maintenance, fix your own fucking app

The same researcher that Chmod'd / to 777 now wants help getting his LEMP stack working.

FFS get a DBA, how many times does this shit happen, I know about as much as they do about why their fucking database doesn't work.
