I couldn’t think of anyone better to interview me on my podcast about my new data center book than @lifewinning.com — someone who’s been making the infrastructures of the internet visible for far longer than I have. Check out our conversation — and grab our books!

Next small obsession: Sega Game Gear repair. This beauty was packaged with The Lion King and use to be blue. Screen turns on and off immediately, indicative of the capacitor failures most common for this device. No battery acid, yay

ok, blood magic haters. say you got your wish and blood magic went away tomorrow. would you be able to get through your day without spells like Blood to Soup? Power Word: Aquacide? Raise Fuckable Skeleton?

ok, yes. i used a little blood magic to make this potion. but in my defense, it's hard NOT to use blood magic these days. all the tomes and orbs are powered by it. blood magic is really a systemic issue. in a way i'm a hero for admitting i use it

Another day, another group of actual Republican Nazis exposed. “It wasn’t a couple of crazies. The popular sentiment was, ‘Yes, slavery should be legal,’” a former member of Nevada Republican congressional candidate Marty O’Donnell's Discord says. Lots of Hitler fandom as well:

It’s so funny how these AI guys think every person who plays video games wants to make games instead, every person who enjoys music wants to make it instead. Like no dude, I wanna sit down and enjoy someone else’s work. I’m fuckin tired dawg, I’m tired from making stuff all day.

Imagine installing an Apple HomeView in your 400sqft apartment. Embarrassing as fuck

“It’s only fascism if they manipulate elections!” “It’s only fascism if they disappear people off the street!” “It’s only fascism if they take over the media!” “It’s only fascism if they jail their political opponents!” Is there even anything left?

Solid bets

it’s always “separate the art from the artist” and never “separate the murder from the murderer”

My wonderful colleague @dinalab.bsky.social was on the @opencv.bsky.social weekly webinar today. Andy builds the Mothbox, an @oshwassociation.bsky.social certified open hardware project, that automates biodiversity monitoring for flying insects. Absolutely worth a watch.

Latest Apple products make them seem pretty fuckin washed tbh

To be clear the Fucking Around was pretty awesome. I can’t say I recommend it given the Finding Out, but, I did enjoy it quite a bit at the time.

OOPS GOP ad buyer mixes up Portlands, spends money meant to help Maine Sen. Susan Collins in Oregon The PAC boosting Collins is "absolutely furious" at the "ridiculous error" made by the buyer, which takes blame and has refunded the money. www.nbcnews.com/politics/202...

The administration's goal, openly stated, is to consolidate police power in the country and create a huge, well-funded, extremely aggrieved, pro-MAGA, anti-immigrant, anti-protestor police force the likes of which we have never seen in this country.
