mastodon 4.7.1Greetings, #comrades. I’m an IT manager for a regional #MSP and active #sysadmin, a #PowerShell developer, fiction #writer, #hacker, #APRS enthusiast (W1DNS), and I’m sure I have other talents, too.
I admit I’m a reply guy, but that’s how I interact here. I’m not trying to be a jerk. Just trying to meet and chat with new and interesting people.
Workers of the world, unite! If you’re not woke, you’re asleep.

New hams, do you have mic fright? Key up on the Worldwide talkgroup. You might wind up in a pileup and… okay, maybe that’s not the best advice. Effective, but not the best.
There’s a special place in hell for the person who thought up the security theatre of putting the username, password, and MFA fields on different pages.
I’m getting my Christmas wish in two days: for Christmas to be over.
Posting this before the #basketball #FinalFour is over. Know what I hate about #basketball and #football? The best teams get one game to prove their worth at each level.
Baseball and hockey have #playoffs. You get a best-of-N to prove that you’re worthy. One bad game probably won’t end your season. In pro sports, you can try again next year. In college sports, sorry, you graduated; have fun working in insurance. And yes, I’ll say it: single-elimination is why the #SuperBowl sucks. It’s either luck or actual talent.
The Final Four should be fewer teams, more games; let the dominant teams earn an off-day. Let the college seniors with one bad game hope they don’t have two bad games. To the GenX-ers, let the winners win two and prove just how good they are.
The #BlueJays played the best seven games I’ve ever seen (and this is coming from a Yankees fan!). Let the Final Four force teams to prove their worth rather the ride a hot streak.
Four minutes left. Go Huskies.
I think I speak for all middle-aged hetero cis white males when I say why does he call himself Bad Bunny? Is that wordplay in Spanish? Will the halftime show have subtitles? When will Puerto Rico tire of being a colony, remove the yoke of the imperialists, and vote for either statehood or independence?

True dat.

Some guy fixes a 50-year-old bug. This is basically when computers were lights and switches instead of screens and keyboards.
It’s been thirty years since you so tragically left us, Susan. Gone but never forgotten. #seinfeld #OnThisDay
