@davepl1968 Buffer Overflow? Or just a consequence of tightly-coupled systems? I’ll see myself out…

@AccidentalCISO I’ve been happy enough with iCloud custom domains. Previously used my domain registrar (Gandi). Only issue is that it seems to be borderline impossible to use multiple domains if you’re not using Apple Mail. I have ~10 for different things.

Happy writing the wrong date on official documents until April day, to all those who celebrate.

@ZachWarunek Got a Creality Ender-3 V3 SE about a week ago. Any recommendations for fun prints now I’m a bit more confident?

@lauriewired I remember working on an old AT PC and forgetting it didn’t have “soft” power. I wasn’t badly hurt, but there was a *lot* of swearing.

People walking around with their phone torch on full are the modern day version of that friend you had in the 80s/90s whose “check engine” light was always on.

@g_bonfiglio @donkersgood Finally gave in and subscribed, despite trying to go cold turkey on AWS announcements. @donkersgood it’s pretty damn good. Well done! :)

[Dave Barton @GoFasterCloud]

@0xdabbad00 Interestingly I had the exact opposite thought; “They must be getting all of these awesome announcements out to clear space for GenAI at re:Invent!”. Either way, this has been the best pre:Invent ever.

@SharpNetwork 5) Oh…it was DNS.

@AletheDenis I asked a question about a product on the website chat, they answered it, I placed my order, and the next day they replied IN THE SAME CHAT with a 30% discount code.

@RhysSullivan https://t.co/klDUNgxxR2 - met my (now) wife, got married, had two kids, and moved to Australia since I backed this one.

@chrismunns No one is talking about how much better an AGI could do the CEO’s job…

[Dave Barton @GoFasterCloud]

@QuinnyPig As long as they are using Physical VLANs it should be good, right?

[Dave Barton @GoFasterCloud]

@cnakazawa Safari all the way; even the Devtools are decent-ish now.

@ranman Palisade, and specifically Palisade while on PTO.

@tmclaughbos I’ve been told before that I should stick to Metallica songs at karaoke, specifically Orion and Call of K’tulu.

@QuinnyPig Dark Age of Camelot (old-school MMO) castle names; Albion for Windows, Midgard for Linux, Hibernia for network devices.

Okay. I started off with a plan for a classy, minimalist desk setup. Mission failed successfully! Any improvement tips for me? #battlestation
