Hey @cloudflare, how come you're protecting beamed[.]st, the DDoS service that's attacking Ubuntu? It's an obvious criminal enterprise that literally advertises botnet access.

Enterprise Role Play (ERP), sometimes also Enterprise Resource Play: A unique form of fetish role play.

Unlike more popular fantasies such as boss/secretary focused on power relationships in an office environment, in ERP the business processes themselves are central to the scenario.

ERP participants can create elaborate scenarios involving fictional purchasing departments, legal teams, contract negotiations, and more. Large group ERP scenarios sometimes even extend to the point of renting out vacant space in an office park and acquiring demo licenses of SAP or a competing software package to make the fantasy more realistic, or even traveling to a remote ERP group's dungeon to roleplay a merger or acquisition.

As with more conventional roleplays in the S&M context, consent is critical in ERP. If participants are expected to invest significant real-world money in software licenses, make sure this is agreed upon by everyone in advance. The outcome of all merger scenarios should be pre-briefed; attempted hostile takeovers of another dungeon are extremely frowned upon and can result in participants being banned from future events.

I'm genuinely astonished how many defenses of LLM contributions are a flat "you can't enforce this and you can't actually stop us". Just completely steamrolling past consent and comfort and forcing themselves on people who don't want them. Feels like some serious masks-off kind of shit.

There's no Perth in Washington, nor is there a Seattle in Western Australia.

You'd think that would help, but today I found out a lot of scrape-and-slop websites (AI or not) hide their scraped origins by expanding "WA" to "Western Australia" regardless of context. Anyone want vacation homes in Seattle, Western Australia, United States?

One problem with following happenings all over the world is, when seeing the state abbreviation "WA," having to figure out whether it's the State of Washington or the State of Western Australia.

Your weary 'net denizen

An approach to maintaining legacy code 

Everything will be wrong about it. It is architected and implemented in confusing ways under conflicting demands you will likely not have insight into and, of course, too little time.

To reduce your frustration, you must accept these things. The prior developers did their best just as you will now do your best. Be at peace with that.

You will be tempted to throw up your hands and rewrite everything! That is folly. Despite all the apparent (to you) imperfections, the code or device now works as intended. Any changes must be done cautiously with an eye to only making necessary improvements or fixing bugs.

After all, if things stop working after one of your "improvements", it will now be *your* problem and it will reflect on you, not the people you inherited the project from.

There will be opportunity for new development, but you must choose your moments.

Add tests as you can! Automate builds! Document! Leave it better!

You are doing your best!
