Gonna try to get it to the table, seems playable

This is why I still don't know sed and awk syntax lol. I eventually get the data in the shape I need and then move on, and never imprint how they actually work. Still feel like a script kiddie every time I use them (so once every few years).

I would say corporations are the vultures of society, but at least vultures don't actively poison their own ecosystems.

I didn't realize it until after she died, but I mourned my relationship with my mom for years before she actually kicked the bucket. I had long since accepted that she didn't want to have any kind of relationship with me and that I would almost certainly never have any meaningful relationship with her, unless she had a serious change of heart. So I just assumed that I would never speak to her again. Then when she actually died, it just kinda... ticked from 0.1% chance to 0.0% chance. Still felt shitty to have it finally close on that note, but I hadn't really expected anything different. I still sometimes wonder if I could have had some kind of breakthrough conversation with her but the reality is that she made her choices and there was nothing I could do to change her mind.

it's an extra hurdle, but it's far from a guaranteed barrier. There's a whole class of exploits called container escapes (or hypervisor escapes if you're dealing with old-school VMs) that specifically focus on escalating an attack from a compromised container into whatever machine is hosting the container.

Sometimes minor league ball is a more interesting game.

I don't think we have one. I think we're all just players, and we make up the game as we go along.

Thanks ❤️ I really wish I knew what to do, because I still have relatives on both sides that are deep in the cult. Not to mention my inlaws 🤦 They occupy a spectrum of dangerous / crazy and some of them I don't talk to at all, some I still talk to occasionally but it's hard to figure out where the cutoff line is. I think I've had some productive conversations around how dangerous Trump / MAGA are, but it's hard to tell because I think the effects only manifest in the long term really and it's hard to tell whether I'm helping or just pushing them away. I don't think anyone suddenly has a lightbulb and thinks "Oh god, I'm in a cult", at least not in my experience. It's more gradual and requires sustained conversations, which incidentally is why cults generally encourage victims to cut off family members who aren't also in the groupthink. So, I just try to meet the ones I don't think would likely try to kill me for being trans where they are and do my best to be a good influence in the sphere of influence I have.

As for the reroll, lol I hear ya, but as a wise wizard once said, "so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us."

My parents were both... medium-core republicans. Didn't go to rallies or buy swag, but they weren't interested in non-R candidates or ideas. Dad died of covid before the vaccine was available. Pre-existing immune deficiencies. He was one of the ones they couldn't fit in the morgues because they were all full. My mom watched all this happen, still refused to get vaccinated, got covid twice (that she told me of) and died of "complications from asthma" two years after the vaccines were generally available. IDK what role covid played in her death but I doubt it helped much. I really don't know what I could have said to her if watching dad pass in isolation wasn't enough. I think about it a lot though.

I looked into it after the 24 election, Canada and a few European countries. The big impetus was RFK jr talking about how he was going to put the autists in labor camps, because my partner and I both have ASD diagnoses. Also genderfluid but fortunately there's no paper trail for that. But 1) it's a lot of work, 2) for better or for worse my skin color protects me from the worst of it and 3) my family is here, my friends are here, my farm animals are here, and I'll be god-damned if I'm gonna abandon them without a fight. Liberty or death ain't just a bumper sticker removed.

Speaking of, I am a little familiar with this group https://generalstrikeus.com/

I don't see it discussed much in fediverse channels, and I don't really know why. Curious to hear what people think of them. But they're the only group pushing for a general strike that I can think of off the top of my head.

I'm glad it's not just me lol every so often I'll think "I haven't done a python project in a while I'll try FastAPI" or something and I have so many issues just getting the env set up.
