i let my child pick spices for lunch and they decided we need 10 and the list is as follows:
thyme
fenugreek leaf
sesame seed
laos
anise seed
yellow mustard seed
fennel seed
cardemom
cumin seed
sage

they're definitely my child 😂

Norwegian is my favourite Swedish airline

this is deeply embarrassing. I have lists of their duckduckgo and google searches for the programming problems they were having building this product.

no programmer should ever have that personal shame shared with the world. let alone included on every microSD card your company ships!

good lord. I pulled a microSD card out of a Raspi inside an IoT product and it appears they had some developer use a raspi to develop/test some software, and then they just yanked the SD card out of that machine and duped it on to all of their deployed products.

it's got .bash_history of the development process! there's git checkouts of private repos! WHY WOULD YOU DO THIS?

I think we were lucky with yesterday's global CrowdStrike bug incident that it merely caused a boot loop requiring manual intervention to fix. Can you imagine how bad it would've been if it had corrupted the disk? This was a basically a warning of how vulnerable we are.

I wonder if this is an Asian thing? Green onions truly are amazing tho

the news is dire, but i've put together a MUST-READ perspective over on my blog that is ABSOLUTELY ESSENTIAL for sanely navigating these TUMULTUOUS TIMES:

[links to a blog that shows the first three paragraphs and then the rest is paywalled]

With all these computers crashing, did anyone remember to check if the raptor fences were still up?

I remember taking the Christmas emergency contact shift years ago, when a script pretty much bricked an entire organisation. We decided with management to sort it on Boxing Day.

While I wasn't directly involved in fixing it, I was on site, ensuring folks were fed and caffeinated.

Those folks trying to sort everything out today will be focused on that at the expense of their energy levels.

I hope there are folks in their orgs keeping them going, reminding them to stop and eat.

If your conservative relatives minimize your queer relationships by calling your partner your ”friend“ start calling church their “little club”
This will only be funny and have zero negative consequences.

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you’re referring to as Windows is in fact Crowdstrike/Windows, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, Crowdstrike plus Windows. Windows is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another component of a fully non-functioning Crowdstrike system, made useless by the .SYS files, automated updates and blue screens comprising a full outage as defined by the news.
