I consider this book foundational to success as any kind of computer toucher. When I bought my copy of the first edition Lucas told me he didn’t think I needed to read it. I actually learned a couple of useful ways to explain things to people from it. If you have reason to care about the state of IT you should consider supporting this endeavor. https://www.tiltedwindmillpress.com/product/n4sa2e-sponsor/

If you’ve been following the UHC saga you’ll enjoy the Beaks Bundle. ( Link to the ebook bundle but you can get the print books in time for any upcoming gift giving holidays. ) As always What Would Beaks Do? https://www.tiltedwindmillpress.com/product/beaks-3-book-bundle/

Me. “Being in community snd hyper local organizing is critical!” Also me. “Have you interacted with people? If so you may be entitled to compensation.”

Time to get myself blocked and reported. The Crow ( 1994 ) is, at best, a mediocre film. The soundtrack is a triumph of the human spirit.

Anybody know of any entry level web dev jobs remote or in the Austin area? #getfedihired

“Do you have Opinions on BGP?”

Looking for a routing switching architect. This is more or less remote in North America. We are just starting to look with an eye to hiring late fall. If you wanna chat let me know.

Some of y’all, looking at you here cloudstrike, didn’t read the “no catastrophic outages on Fridays” memo and it shows.

Soviet Texas forever. See @mwl 60 seconds of WIP for context.

Even though he’s mean to me ( accurately observes my behavior ) you should really go back @mwl Because it has turned into an amazing bundle. I have read all the books involved and can assure you that even if you’ve been doing this for way too long you’ll learn something that will help you. I did with every one of them. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/mwlucas/run-your-own-mail-server

If you are, and you should be, mad as hell about Gaza and the actions of the Likud lead government there but also don’t want to be antisemitic this is the post for you! Here’s the thing. Antisemitism ( In 2024 ) is just a fancy name for a specific form of racism.

Most people who will see this will have already spent a lot of time unpacking anti blackness. Same principles apply here. You, most likely, grew up in a fairly antisemitic environment and you have antisemitic behaviors. Same thing applies. When somebody points that out to you then you know better so do better. Just correct the behavior or speech and press on. Odds are very good the person pointing it out is mad at the exact same things you are and most Jewish people love to teach if asked in actual good faith and with a modicum of humanity. So ask instead of doubling down. Much of the time you’ll learn and be able to be even more effective in your anger.

I am listening to FLA to attempt to maintain some semblance of sanity. Related. You should buy and read Drums With Delusions of Godhood by @mwl

Dear #monsterson. It’s a Harryhausen joint at the peak of his powers. So, yes, it’s kind of the best on that front.

If you don’t like Christmas stories you should buy and read this one. It’s fantastic. https://www.tiltedwindmillpress.com/product/heart-of-coal As are most things by Lucas.

Every time I fire up the smoker I feel an urge to reread Drinking Heavy Water by @mwl

Hey. Anybody know after anyplace hiring for a project management scrum master type job? My brother in law is on the market.

Reminder. Today would be the first say to start reading A Night In The Lonesome October. @nnedi has a great new book out and @zzclaybourne has a new kickstarter. And honestly if you like either one of those odds of you liking the other is really high.

Do me a solid. Go hit "inform me" on this.
Once it hits a certain number there Kickstarter will put it on their front page.
I do think you should be interested but even if you aren't Claybourne is a great person and throwing a little support at a black voice in science fiction and fantasy is good praxis.
And if you like fun at all go buy The Brothers Jetstream.

Does anybody know of a black owned business that does custom tee shirts for a small order?
