Eventually, Elrond's account of the One Ring ended, overruning the meeting time by 20mins. Despite his lengthy discourse on the subject, everyone later noted that, in the minutes, Elrond had avoided giving himself any actions related to actually dealing with the One Ring problem.

Migrated 100GB EBS rootfs volume to 25GB EBS root plus 25GB data volume plus S3 for the rest of the data, on a live server in production and had a total of 5 minutes of downtime. Very pleased with mysef (and with Claude for the assist).

Opal apples are back for the season. October is the best.

Ok it took a while across all my systems but I’ve finally updates all my keys and passwords to “4”. Oh wait. I think I might have misread the memo.

Meanwhile somehow bun check, which is faster on my large project than tsrs, hasn’t been mentioned anywhere that I’ve seen.

Imagine choosing security by obscurity

I guess there's a gulf between Gulfs and Oceans.

Never go to a secondary location. At least, not for only $100.

Having utraque in place to let subscription Claude Agent() out to deepseek from within Claude code when it starts security refusals to have DS handle the parts that Claude refuses is handy.

Imagine being these idiots.

What %age of github outages for the next few days are because of everyone's CI rebuilding everything with new eMudhra-less cert stores after updating rust, go, etc, etc, etc.

Sometimes, even when you lose, you win. metro.co.uk/2026/10/21/p...

"I'm pretty sure PHP is secure now. I'll believe it still has problems when pigs fly!" - some PHP dev, probably Meanwhile: www.fox13news.com/news/florida...

Cert revocations and venvs and uv and conda and all that jazz just completely fucking breaking reminds me once again that Life Is Too Short For Python.

Did Trump write this? Why does it have Random Capitalization? Carr doesn’t normally do that too does he?

The key was *supposed* to be zero but because of a typo one bit was set and so it’s 4 by accident.

🚨 Six WebPKI Intermediate CAs are compromised. This is bigger than Heartbleed, but a client-side issue. Anything that verifies certificates against public roots, like most TLS clients, is/was affected. Details, live test, patched versions and workarounds at emudhra.we-have-a-problem.com Act now.

I wonder how many people were in the chain from Elon saying "add this speed throttle which will cause the death of civilians in Ukraine" and the throttle actually being deployed, each one of whom was like "yeah, fuck those kids".

For everyone close to the emerging situation, **please** document every single cyber guardrails refusal you get from a western frontier lab. It's important.

Note that it's not just "update go", it's "update go and then rebuild and reinstall every binary using the new go version". Revocation is a shitshow.

All these ports to rust etc have “been done” now. I want to see more projects ported from rust to typescript. Or to brainfuck.

So like 50 people in one shot, over what time period? Like if I killed 40 last week does my quota reset and I get a new 40? And OpenAI sometimes gives you free resets midweek because they had downtime on the killing floor?

So wait. You’re telling me the whole shtick is that the guy on first base is actually *named* “Who”?

Friday afternoon 3:15 showing of “Evreything” is packed.

Do White House press secretaries get pensions? How long do you need to remain employed to be elligible?

Google calling the model ἀργός which literally means "not work" is very reminiscent of the old saw about the Chevy Nova in spanish speaking countries.

Can 2.8x10^10 - 2x10⁻¹⁸⁷ neurons suffer?

Kinda makes you wonder why she was standing in a field somewhere asking random people who don’t understand what a lawyers is to answer this question.

Imagine consciously choosing to sweat when you get hot.

I wanted plot data for ErisMaps, so now ErisGIS is happening. I am going through every county's weird GIS system and having Haikus write adapters for ALL of them. Fuck every service that makes you pay for a standard thing. Will extend to other data types like local election results! ErisData.

When Claude Code tells you that it has an update available and you need to restart - how long do you let the current task keep running and how crazy does it make you staring at the "YOU SHOULD RESTART" notice? These 4-6 hour tasks and my ADHD are making that notification super annoying.

I always pick 1 just to throw off the curve. Also people HATE it when you pick 1.

Someone forgot to read “Reflections on trusting trust”

New euphamism just dropped for "Oh shit the robot swarm did what??"

Asked Claude to try and make stryker-bun-runner faster. Version 1.6.0 is now about 25-40% faster than 1.5.2 npmx.dev/package/@hug...

Now that it's getting a little chillier in the evenings, it's nice that my sub-agents and dynamic workflows are fanning out like I had to use my quota reset button with only a day left until the regularly-scheduled reset. 27% of weekly quota burned so far since this morning and accelerating!

Upright: ingenuity, curiosity, refusing to accept “that’s just how it works.” Reversed: it worked before you touched it.

Sounds like someone needs to get sued for incurring a debt they didn't pay.

I gotta say sonnet driving a browser is FAST!

This smile is why. Same smile.
