If you want to be more confident, practice being graciously embarrassed.

If you want to be smarter, admit when you don't know and ask questions.

If you want to be stronger, show your weakness and ask for help.

@durowrx @Atlassian How unorthodox for those two totally unprecedented events should occur for Atlassian.

@nixcraft I had to orphan the child, the parent was a zombie!

@scrumtuous Bold of you to assume I've learned anything.

[Colonel Panic @TopherIsSwell]

@ask_aubry I see a man that wants to do right, but can't justify it given his life experiences and social circle. I feel like he could've been a stand-up guy if he'd had different parents/friends/social programming. But this is the man our society builds.

@BigWhiteFireDog @ask_aubry Not buying it. You're telling me he cares enough about her to make her food? Nah.

[Colonel Panic @TopherIsSwell]

@ask_aubry I think she should add some sedatives to his food, not a lot, just enough to calm him down a little. It sounds like he's stressed and it would help his mental health. You wouldn't want to tell him though as that might set back his mental health.

@_SolomonRex @fuckyouiquit *could NOT run...

[Colonel Panic @TopherIsSwell]

@_SolomonRex @fuckyouiquit So much more than 2 billion. You could run a space program for 2 billions, and believe-it-or-not, a space program is peanuts compared to the cost of mass transit systems.

@FQStudiosLLC @fuckyouiquit @Leahgreenb Whatever you do, don't reply, you'll only encourage the algorithm--it can smell fear.

@nixcraft Meanwhile, Alsa, ReiserFS, Framebuffers, Lilo, and ASM be like:

@lazyb0y @rsyncnet They're priced about the same as s3 but with a ssh server interface for a server that you don't have to admin. Yes, I could set up my own VPS and zfs send to it, and back it with s3 with lifecycling for cheaper storage, but it's not going to economical until I hit petabyte scale.

@lazyb0y @dnaumov @rsyncnet If you know, you know.

You know that dream where they allow you to spend your unvested equity on food stamps eligible food?

Surely, that's not just me.

[Colonel Panic @TopherIsSwell]

@VestigialAcct @yourfriendpiper @MoiraDonegan Babying, pacifying, and exalting do not help increase self esteem IMO. It may make it worse, not that I blame the women who fell they have to give it.
What they need is enough failure and embarrassment to realize that it's not that bad and stop being afraid of it.

@encifer Never skip chest day.

@nixcraft scrollback on modern terminal emulators

@evacide The server probably got knocked over hashing 11 character passwords, so here we are.
