Eschatology is Scatology with a prepended “e.”

Hey, any #Imax #projectionists out there slinging actual film for Nolan's latest?

Wonder what % of remaining film projectors he's got running it.

Here’s what I want my all hearing AI to do: when I start shouting “Just stop” I want it to neutralize all “forward movement” in every UX around me. Whether that’s a big diesel engine (fella can dream) or the UX of the fucking AppleTV.

Wait wait wait hold on. This snow stuff MELTS?! AND IT TURNS INTO WATER?!

IS that headline inflaming you?

STOP. Don;t share it! Find out how true it is.

"Technically" true in headlines means objectively false. There's always a deeper story.

A lot of my "About me..." is past stuff.
Here's what I might be doing now:
Fumbling to learn bass guitar and piano.
Practicing conversational Spanish
Being retired and trying not to sweat the future because humans can't predict diddly-squat. Economists do not meet the minimum qualification (human) for that assertion.
Accepting who I am (a couch potato)
Changing what I can (stop speaking like an old, cishet white guy.)
Being less reactive.
Living up to my wife and daughter's standards.

Can I open a backup's .tar.gz and edit all the files with a text editor?

I want to change my Main router backup from 192.168.1.x to 192.168.2.x

Then I can load that new backup onto my spare, and test out new configs.

(Naturally, going back from the spare to Main, I'll reverse the edit.)

In case you were wondering what "large format" or "15x70mm" refer to:

Site Reliability Engineering is a lovely euphemism for "Culture Change Maker."

The folks who are truly good SREs don't even look like they're doing what they're actually doing.

The bad ones bash up against that illusion, calling out what's really going on. Admitting the reality is one sure way to get nerds to resist. Called "protective cognition" there are ways to overcome it.

I know this because I was a bad one who worked with good ones.

I didn't retire soon enough. Sorry.

3rd front is a carburetor synchronozer.
4th f is a film-notcher for negatives, so you cab find a particular spot inside the dark bag.
5th f is an elevator release "key" a parting gift from my friend Foley.
Last is a MacSE with a rare SE30 accelerator card inside.

My background photo is a tiny part of my old tech collection.
From left:
Hidden behind my icon is the last remnant of the Spitz Space Transit System planetarium that I worked with. It’s a remote control box for the Moon and Sun projectors, both PTZ.

2nd: the world’s only imax film frame counter. Capable of rates up to 3k RPM or 6k frames per minute.

3rd(back) is a Xerox fax machine HeNe tube laser. An absolute pleasure to run with the cover removed.

Why did I not accept someone’s generous offer to follow me?

Because I couldn’t find enough ORIGINAL posts on their timeline to reassure me that they’re someone I wouldn’t follow back.

If someone prefers to boost instead of write their own, that’s fine! But I prefer your words and want to boost from the source when possible. And, I mutually follow.

We’re a network, a society.

My icon photo is of my father & his friend in their Stearman. This model was pre-NACA cowling, I think it was the 150hp engine? It was sold in the late 50’s to an aerial circus.

Interests:
15x70 film (aka Imax/Omnimax)
Network engineering
Things that store/release large amounts of energy.
The quality of the light.
Unique or odd PoVs.
Infinite depth of field. (I'd love to join the F90 Club.)
Computers, sadly.
Motorcycles, gladly.

As an older cishet white male, I recognize that I belong to the demographic that's caused most of the problems.

Intersectionality is power. Monocultures suck.
