I'm a sysadmin for @reddit

@TychoBrahe Today I thought back to your news post about 9/11. Didn't find it on the archive, but it is on https://t.co/4TNleVIXQw. Interesting to look back on: https://t.co/g87SUl4W9M

If you're curious what I've been up to at reddit, I did a podcast covering exactly this: https://t.co/vmpEbvy39Y

Damn, the Cookie Brigade, a volunteer group which sells cookies at PAX raising money for a charity, can no longer go around PAX selling cookies because the convention center caterer doesn't want them there: https://t.co/dOGYoYyAtc

@rossipedia Holy shit.. It's truly self-aware.

[Jason Harvey @alioth]

@rossipedia You're missing the new most-insufferable thing, hot off the presses:

"ChatGPT it".

@TychoBrahe I was perusing https://t.co/e78oDuL73S and found a couple of suspicious looking young men: https://t.co/dtmOMxuDVo

@rossipedia At least you're not procrastinating on keeping your diary up to date.

[Jason Harvey @alioth]

@rossipedia Just pretend that the universe in Star Wars has an intergalactic medium which refracts light and carries sound. This also conveniently takes care of the TIE fighter sound that you can hear in space battles.

@yishan A similar fun calc: Around 205000 tonnes of gold has been mined throughout all of history. The density of gold is 19.3 grams per cm3. That gives us around 10620 cubic meters of gold ever mined, which would be a cube roughly 22 meters per side. It'd fit in a large hangar.

The kernel (in concert with strongswan) transparently negotiates transport mode whenever traffic goes to/from known hosts. The IP addresses remain the same, as only the packet payloads are encrypted. I'm not aware of any non-ipsec approach that would do that transparently for me.

[Jason Harvey @alioth]

I really wish WireGuard had something akin to ipsec transport mode. I run transport mode at home to transparently encrypt traffic between my trusted hosts. It's great as it guarantees my trusted hosts aren't talking with any rogue devices in my home.

@rossipedia Right there with ya. Technical work is my leisure activity.

[Jason Harvey @alioth]

@rossipedia The good news is that wind chill doesn't affect machines, or anything else that operates at the ambient air temperature.

What I'm saying is you simply need become a machine.

@bassett_green One difference I can think of: When you learn the tricks yourself it sorta feels like you're getting one over on the system since they're kinda shortcuts. When you're forced to use them it probably feels like just more annoying homework.

[Jason Harvey @alioth]

@bassett_green Most adults I know do the same. I think the difference is we discovered the tricks ourselves to get through annoying homework. In this case, the tricks are being explicitly taught. I do wonder if that affects retention of the tricks, but it doesn't seem like a bad approach.

@rossipedia I do this at every restaurant / fast-food place I frequent. As far as I'm concerned, they all only serve 1 thing.

[Jason Harvey @alioth]

@gooeyblob The populace where go where the eyeballs are, so if Mastadon remained chill / neutral I suspect it'd never break into the mainstream. That's probably fine - fringe places should exist. It unfortunately won't help with the human problem of anger driving eyeballs.

[Jason Harvey @alioth]

@gooeyblob Sadly anger drives far more engagement than neutral, so it will usually be the more successful feed from a business growth perspective :(

@dhulser I implore you: Do not get used to coffee.

[Jason Harvey @alioth]

@rossipedia Could presumably set the same thing up on your router?
