Gay or straight. Republican or Democrat. Cis or trans. Black or white. Pro-Windows or Pro-Linux. It doesn't matter. You're His and he loves you just the way you are.
Today I was setting up a #Windows 11 laptop. Plugged in an old HP Laserjet printer via USB for reasons and... it just worked. No popups. No drivers to download. Apparently even a blind, half-lame squirrel can find an acorn once in a while. Count me shocked.

DEFCON: jailbreaking a John Deere and exposing the outdated Linux /windows CE it runs on. Also, possible violation of GPL compliance #linux #kernel #gpl3 #foss #floss #freesoftware

Awesome lunch with my family and my folks at Perkins followed by a tour at a local museum. I'm not a history guy, but hometown history is quite interesting.
A view from a back road on my way to a client yesterday. I don't know about you, but I love windmills. I also learned yesterday how stupid huge they are. Checked later on and discovered it was a pretty well-composed shot, too. #photography

The world would be a much better place if we could just appreciate each other's ideas. We don't all have to agree on everything, just appreciate each other.
Got a call from the local prison about a job today. Yes, in IT in case you're wondering. This could be interesting. 😏

"What if instead of an application, we had humans do the driving for you?"
You just invited chauffeurs.
"No, I mean like as an on demand thing."
You just invented cabs.
"No, I mean let's share it so you only need to go to easily identified pickup points."
Like public transit?
"No! I mean for long distances without all the agony of airports."
So, high speed rail.
".....why do you hate innovation?"
I literally didn't know anything about CONIKS until today.
I'm sitting here at my laptop, utterly shocked. I just finished reading about CONIKS, an identity system devised as part of a Master's thesis at Princeton. It's scarily similar to the identity system used by #Mensago.
I'm a self-taught programmer with a bachelor's degree in Music Education. I had no idea I was working on a post-grad-level computer science project. Knock me over with a feather.

Cost Plus Drugs: Mark Cuban's New Company Sells Ultra-Cheap Prescriptions https://www.cnet.com/science/biology/how-mark-cubans-new-drug-company-sells-medications-with-huge-discounts/
Yeah, I know, Mark Cuban. But if you’re having a hard time affording prescriptions, check out his site. The price for some of the meds I looked at was less than the copay for the same meds at our pharmacy.
TIL that Mastodon converts GIFs to MP4. Interesting. ✨
Happy #sysadminday to all my fellow admins! Powered by caffeine, we keep running the software held together with chewing gum and duct tape! LOL
