🐧 It’s Linux, On A Sega Megadrive
｢ The lowly 68000 in the Sega doesn’t have a memory management unit required for the full Linux experience, so what’s really running here is a kernel compiled with the -nommu option. That in itself is a feat, on this architecture. On it you get smolutils, a cut down coreutils, and that seems to be it ｣

I mean, really. #DogsOfMastodon
Stop posting pictures of your kids online. Just stop. Not for edutech, not for fun, and certainly not on *any* social media. It's really bad parenting. Data is never safe online and your kids aren't old enough to make informed consent for you to use their images.
What if the World Cup, but golden retriever puppies? #DogsOfMastodon
inspired by CLAUDE.md, I’ve started putting markdown files named after coworkers into work code repos so I can remind them to stop doing shit to the codebase that annoys me
for some reason they’re all mad at me now, which means ill be adding commands to JEREMY.md for an attitude adjustment
So Fediverse, last week I was laid off by my employer, Elastic, as part of a wider reorg that made my position redundant. 7% of the global workforce was impacted, so I'm not alone in this 😢
I would appreciate boosts as I'm now looking for my next job. Preferably in community open source, but with the crazy market, a mortage and a baby I appreciate any lead.
I'm a backend engineer with strong #cloudinfrastructure , #devops and #observability skills. I spent the last 5 years working with Golang, but have previous experience with Ruby, Python, PHP and JavaScript (that shows how old I am I guess).
I'm searching remotely from Italy.
Thank you!
I am, however, getting too old for this shit.
.... and with that, the last quarter end deal goes into DocuSign. 9:37pm. I started work today at 05:20am.
I've had better quarter ends, but I've had worse.
Tomorrow we saddle up and go again, but in the meantime ... wine. All the wine.
Also, some bloody insect 🦟 bit me on the arm last week and it’s *still* itching like mad.
Moan moan moan …
Can I just mention once again just how much I absolutely hate quarter ends? Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaargh….
*contemplates inbox in despair*
I have a small comp on Saturday, so I could really do with having some time to get some archery practice in this week.
Unfortunately, work has other ideas.
"'Rise'’s lyrics were inspired by the situation in South Africa, as Lydon explained in a contemporary interview in Smash Hits of all places: 'I read this manual on South African interrogation techniques, and 'Rise' is quotes from some of the victims.'"
John Lydon and Bill Laswell remember the making of 'Rise':
Reform U.K. is for people who have tattoos of their children but not custody of them.
Somebody lost a treasured item.
From Bsky:
Lost a very special Coraline Cat at the Kneecap Crystal Palace gig in London on Saturday night.
Incredibly long shot but means a lot.
Any and all help very welcome.
Pictured visiting Big Ben and at the gig.
Puppington is getting increasingly large. As puppies tend to do, I suppose. Just under 5 months old here. She's NOT going to be a small dog.
Karen came and battered me in the head at 4am. Based on the accompanying yowling and chirruping she clearly believes it to be breakfast time. That cat...
RAIN! Thunder and lightning and glorious, glorious RAIN!
Puppington is convinced she is a lapdog. This notwithstanding that (a) it is bloody hot, (b) she is 20kg at just under 5 months old and showing no signs of slowing down, and (c) she is FLOOFY
As a person who likes videogames, can I just register my extreme displeasure at the massive game drought precipitated by the imminent launch of a GTA game. I mean, commercially I get it - no game publisher wants to go up against that behemoth. But it means that, if you don't like GTA games, there is naff-all new to play instead.
