Probably the 72 year old Ferguson tractor I own, new parts are so easy to find and usually very reasonably priced. It’s also designed to be easily user serviceable and user repairable.

It feels like it to me.

At a small company I used to work for we agreed to take over the management system for someone trading physical resources. The guy that originally wrote it was self taught. We did a hand over with him where he took us through the code base. It was written in dotnet but it was a huge mess, he had blended multiple different dotnet paradigms, there was mixed business and UI code all over the place, large chunks of html were stored in the db, db code was just scattered through the application. We took it over briefly but it was a nightmare to work on and we found a SQL injection vulnerability. So as kindly as possible we told the client that his software was a piece of shit and the dev he hired had no idea what he was doing.

Not that I would have worked for that scummy company to begin with but that would be a huge deal breaker.

Have you informed the elders of the internet about this?

I use Technitium, for that purpose. You can set up DNS records easily and it still has blocking like pi-hole. You can log DNS requests if you need to track down where certain requests are coming from or which devices are making lots of requests. It has quite a few features but I only need a couple.

Hmm, let’s work shop this. Slice out the island bit and let’s make that into its own move.

• Get rid of the cannibals, let’s make the island deserted, there’s no one left for the unlimited chess games, so let’s have him just go a bit nuts for a few years.
• Exchange the baboon with a volleyball.
• Let’s get Tom Hanks back.

Oh wait…

Nah, power off the oligarchs too

Jurassic Park 3 when I was 9 for a friend’s birthday. I had nightmares about dinosaurs for weeks. I’m not really haunted by it any more but the scene where the skeleton in the parachute swings out of the tree is seared into my brain.

With blackjack and hookers?

Kangaroo has to be done right. A good kangaroo roast can be better than lamb or pork.

The good old milky milk.

C# because I used to work for a company building asp.net web apps and now I know it too well that it’s just easier.

I also really like kotlin and that’s what most of my professional development is in now, but I find the kotlin coroutine library no match for dotnet’s Task API, so I’m not sure I could switch for my private projects.

It’s irrelevant because I’m never buying anything that piece of shit touches.

I feel like this is the perfect time for the return of a certain Fawkcian group.

Disco music intensifies

Everybody wants a rock to wind their CEOs around.

I’m not sure you could exactly call it brainwashing but Josefina Rivera was able to gain the trust of her abductor enough that he let her visit her family. As soon as she was free she called the police which led to his arrest and the freeing of the other abductees.

Visual Studio. But VSCodium mostly makes up for it.

It causes so much dawizard.
