Hot take: If you are eligible to vote in the US elections and simply choose not to you are partially responsible for the state of the country right now. You chose to ignore the single time every 2 years where your opinion mattered and you didn’t even show up. Fuck you.

There are people deadass just smoking weed outside of my office at 9:00 in the morning.

I am not having a very good day... No one in IT/CyberSec is having a good day.

Any mutuals want to come join me over on Matrix? I host the combust.ing homeserver and I'd be happy to have more people join us over there. Open source, E2EE by default, decentralized, and an ecosystem of clients/homeservers to choose from if you fancy something else.

combust.ingcombust.ingcombust.ing is a Matrix homeserver for personal and friends use.

I will add pressure to this by saying that any company that claims to not hold onto your personal data after verifying you? They're lying. Ive been nitro free since the first time they tried this, voice how you feel with your wallet people. Make them really feel that squeeze.

I’ve been asked a couple of times by people why I am so against Fluxer/FluxFur. Let me clear that up, I’m not. I just don’t care for yet another centralized communication platform. Once they support federation I’ll likely be joining everyone over there on my own self-hosted instance.

In my opinion, voting in the United States should be compulsory for all able-bodied people. Jury duty and taxes are mandatory, why not voting?

I’m so over being drowsy from this new medication. I’m actively fighting sleep at my desk and I’m due for my next dose now. 😭

I really hate what's going on with Call of Duty. I just want a decent arcady FPS that is actually fun to play. The MW4 beta was not it...

I can’t fix your problems, I can barely get through my own struggles. This constant negativity from people is the reason why I don’t want to wake up in the morning anymore. I’m tired of repeating this cycle every day. I can’t fucking take it anymore.

Everyone who got waitlisted for the Frame seeing their friends post their reservation queue emails.

I will never hate anyone more than I hate Sam Altman. My main hobby has gone from expensive to prohibitively expensive in the span of 1 year.

I’ve had an infuriating sequence of events where A/V equipment was missing from an area, I found the missing equipment in a closet (not where it was supposed to be), setup it up while there was a presenter waiting, and found that it was broken by a previous user and they never reported it… Why???

Might finally pick up a new Apple Watch. I’m still happy with my iPhone 16 Pro so I don’t feel the need to upgrade but my 1st generation Apple Watch SE could definitely do with one.

Approximately billions of cubes are reportedly killed in blender viewport annually. People should be concerned about this serious endangerment.

Very grateful to the friends that put up with my rant tonight. I appreciate it but also I apologize you had to hear me go off.

I’m really trying to get together a group to play Black Ops 2 zombies on PC. The game is currently on sale for $30 with the season pass on Steam and I really wanna check out the port of the leaked DLC 5.

Apologies to friends if I’ve seemed off this week. It has not been a very good week for me mentally.

Hello Streamers!, Twitch decided it was a good idea to include training for AI and to auto opt in everyone for it, so to turn this setting off, go to www.twitch.tv/settings/sec... and scroll all the way to the very bottom before clicking on the "Training for generative AI" slider.

I fell asleep almost immediately when I got home yesterday and I’m really not looking forward to going into work today.

Today has been an excruciatingly boring day work. I feel like I’ve been twiddling my thumbs for the majority of the day.

⚠️ An important announcement regarding the cancellation of the 2026 Fursuit Parade and Block Party due to the extreme heat and severe weather situation in the Pittsburgh forecast.

Update again: The suit has a few issues but it is back in one piece and I will be bringing it to Anthrocon. It’s probably time to consider making V2 and retiring Finton V1.

Update: I’m getting some help fixing this. I’m currently in the process of printing a new lower jaw and we will have to re-fur the lower jaw portion of the head.

At some point during the last day of FWA my fursuit head was crushed and the damage is beyond my abilities to repair.
