One place where #FreeBSD jails definitely blow away Docker:

The Amazon "New Releases in Virtualization" best-seller list. :flan_cheer: :flan_blush:

The same talk that introduced "information wants to be free" also introduced "information wants to be expensive." But nobody remembers that last part.

I had half my thyroid out, and my whole metabolism has changed.

I want different foods.

I've lost a bunch of fatigue symptoms. I go straight from "hey, I'm fine" to "omg puke." But it takes longer to get there.

Losing fat, gaining muscle without really trying.

Which pisses me off. I've fought my weight my whole life, and it turns out my fucking thyroid was sabotaging me all along? Goddamn motherfucking son of a bitch!

Rage at what was won't help.

Still mad.

Important announcement! :flan_announcer: :flan_sign:

Remember, use all your Google Plus Points before April or lose them forever!

Whenever a web browser, operating system, or web site gains dominance among users, it stops being cool and starts becomes blatantly abusive.

This Chromium nonsense is just more of what we saw from Internet Explorer.

Every generation of geeks learns this anew, and acts all shocked. Learn some history, folks. Learn from those who came before.

Stop supporting only one platform. Variety is ESSENTIAL. Monocultures are death. #sysadmin

I followed ESR one time at Penguicon.

He'd had the audience move their chairs into a big circle. The projector table was moved out of his way so he could sit in that spot. The ripped-up taped-down power and video cables were now a wadded mess.

He ran over.

At two minutes before my slot, I had to say "Excuse me, time's up, could you put stuff back before next hour?"

ESR rolled his eyes & walked out.

I spent 15 minutes cleaning up.

Right-wing: I got mine, screw you.

If you're on Masto, you saw it here first: new book selfie! #af3e

If you bought #af3e direct from No Starch, check your account. You should have an electronic surprise.

I'm a homeless conservative.

Bank offered a $650K mortgage. We bought our home for $129K.

When the housing market bloated and all our coworkers tapped that sweet home equity for new cars and pools, we watched in horror.

In 2008 they lost their homes. We took advantage of the crash to buy a nicer home. Because we'd saved money.

We save for retirement.

We spend less than we make.

It's why I'm a full-time writer now.

I strongly encourage this kind of conservative.

(Subtooting a few terrible articles about terrible people threatening to quit Linux.)

What happens when the jerks & MRAs leave your project? Good people who were driven away by those cretins start to show.

There are MANY more good people repelled by these idiots than there are idiots.

Assholes are not valuable. You'll get more done, produce better work, and have more fun without them.

"Those of us who were on the internet back in the ’80s remember when we treated it as a private playground. We could say whatever we wanted, to
whomever we wanted. After all, it was purely ephemeral. Nobody was keeping this stuff; like CB radio, you could be a total jackass and get away with it.

All those early Usenet discussions? Yeah, Google recovered them and put them online. Our beliefs were the exact opposite of true." - #af3e

And I'm out of the dealership.

They're still down.

I could have installed an #OpenBSD box from scratch, including downloading media over cellular and setting up IPSEC, during their outage.

Dude. Please. Use a search engine. Type in the firewall brand and "update trust root."

Please. I'm begging you.

Heck, just flash the new OS image. Anything.

Outsourced firewall management is the worst.

The preliminary interplanetary internet designs are based on UUCP.

Seriously.

The trick for me is to time my UUCP book to cut off the next edition of the O'Reilly book. If I do it right, I'm gonna make a fortune!

I could totally do this.

It would be evil, but I could.

And amusing, yes. But evil.

Evil... amusing... evil... amusing... #thestruggleisreal

'Any time you hear the phrase “should work,” immediately ask, “How can I verify that it *does* work?”' #sysadmin #af3e

It took me far too many years to learn this.

Oh, great. Now @phessler @xpac @aag @kurtm @florian and @benno are convincing me that I *should* write an SNMP book. As a public service, like the PAM book.
