Emma has been successfully deployed to the new house

a while ago I made a bunch of unhinged requests to Amazon's shopping AI about things like "the best conceal carry holster for my dog" and I'm pleased to announce it's paid off

amazon's AI has some good bonesmashing product recommendations

I should tell it that the dog was trained under a project with the code name "WARHOUND" I hear that word around a lot, but am not familiar with the material it references.

does anyone have that one tiktok brainrot thing about networking where it has "my network never breaks because i only use static routing" and something about ipv6 being a witch's spell

Does anyone want a free Oracle/Sun StorageTek SL3000 tape library? It currently has 10x T10000C tape drives to be able to take 5TB StorageTek T2 tapes, but can be swapped to take modern LTO drives. Equipped with an HP StorageWorks 8/40 SAN Switch. Free, near Seattle. Will need a liftgate truck.

Thanks @alyx.sh! Maybe one of these will show up “working” at a local event full of schenanigans. Also, holy fuck it took me until 7pm to unload these with the tractor, myself… 😅

Do you want to tinker with a Redbox machine? We are imminently moving and need three of them to not be in our garage because we won't have room for all of them. Free. You'll need a truck. Please come adopt one. Must go by September 13th or will be recycled. Located near Bellevue, WA.

they should do a showing of End of Evangelion where they replace the crowd scene with live video of the theater

has anyone made GDPR exports available as physical media rather than digital download?

Replying to @alyx.sh

some of you may remember last year when I recreated a fake website that showed up in several seconds of S1E5 of H2O: Just Add Water (2006) I did it again, this time with greekmythicalcreatures.com, which appears for 188 frames in the series pilot, S1E1 "Metamorphosis"

ah perfect I turned my 401 megabyte copy of the first episode of H2O: Just Add Water into a much more manageable 45 gigabytes of PNGs

hey hold my laptop's bitlocker key 186956-451550-347666-599093-573980-664763-662299-188595

shout-out to the Seattle Police Department East Precinct officer who literally threw this bottle of mouthwash into the air last night, ultimately leaving it laying in the bike lane rather than properly disposing of it, while cleaning his patrol car while parked out in front of the precinct

this is truly a symbol of their commitment to their mission of "...delivering respectful, professional, and dependable police services."

does anyone have any suggestions for unhinged units to measure volumes of water? I'm going to be adding liquid measurement to our water dispenser at the hackersapce and want to have it rotate through insane measurements

e-scooters are fucking deathtraps and both Washington State and Lime are complict for not requiring helmets
