His diploma is signed by the Dean of Santa Clauses and everything. <br/><br/>“So what do you learn in Santa School?” I asked. <br/><br/>“Mostly how to deal with kids’ questions. A lot of them don’t have anyone to talk to,” he answered. “What do you tell them if they say ‘I want my parents to stop fighting’ or ‘I want my uncle to stop touching me?”<br/><br/>Well fuck. How did we wind up with mall Santas as an essential part of our social safety net? 2024-12-31T04:06:28Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqs0vkyedkpgvvnxzjl4tjt6jru36a3cfn0z9g5h0362qaeh3myrc0czyp9fltzrfr4lzmt04qa8cqr8w5ewwwh5c3fch5yp4l78ka3xkqxlk60mjy2 Just thinking about the time a university decided not to hire me because they didn&#39;t think distributed systems were an important area.<br/><br/>...and then my dad said &#34;yeah, they also decided not to hire me 40 years ago because they said this new-fangled &#39;angioplasty&#39; thing wasn&#39;t going anywhere&#34;.<br/><br/>You can draw your own conclusions about academia and its ability to identify important future research areas. 2024-12-30T03:50:02Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqszyc43s89zalp03hmdupujj5cezv5j8lymzrd7ul9l0zwqjndm7fczyp9fltzrfr4lzmt04qa8cqr8w5ewwwh5c3fch5yp4l78ka3xkqxlk6yj842 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs9n7770yqa82cqx2t8rqssk3udnvsx2dqwrwss384n3lrm4zvtt7c0uj9ey'>nevent1q…j9ey</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>If your NIC winds up with a sufficiently long interface name, like enp8s0f0npf0vf1, and your vlan id is high enough, you&#39;ll be unable to bring up a vlan interface like enp8s0f0npf0vf1.1024 because that exceeds the maximum interface name length (IFNAMSIZ = 16) 2024-12-30T00:48:36Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqszww5w3xs96ruqfzrnerev4cve0wl0y90xnlac34am454ppzjn6kgzyp9fltzrfr4lzmt04qa8cqr8w5ewwwh5c3fch5yp4l78ka3xkqxlkug5y3a Miso’s attorney has advised me that technically he is not on the kitchen counter and he will fight any unjust accusations. <br/><br/>#cats #catsofmastodon<br/> <img src="https://fd.discuss.systems/media_attachments/files/113/682/954/306/774/117/original/9f332c60a64d87b9.jpeg"> <br/> 2024-12-20T03:10:23Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsgydtmszapmxxu0weapsn2yta5kw2rd02fjk5ztkvmslpzkr9zxvczyp9fltzrfr4lzmt04qa8cqr8w5ewwwh5c3fch5yp4l78ka3xkqxlk3k34w2 How my Teams calls today have been going<br/> <img src="https://fd.discuss.systems/media_attachments/files/113/664/954/854/687/330/original/56a741bbb375d669.jpeg"> <br/> 2024-12-16T22:52:53Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsy8y6zmc8nz2fs0myppjtfxa9tgt4v8rrfwvnqw3l39s72fu2easczyp9fltzrfr4lzmt04qa8cqr8w5ewwwh5c3fch5yp4l78ka3xkqxlkd0f592 Please meet Muffin, one of <span itemprop="mentions" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a itemprop="url" href="/npub1ekj56drhf4mh9u36qecmp5hh6magh8v9yd67fzgfv0zdr7wvzj4slf79v2" class="bg-lavender dark:prose:text-neutral-50 dark:text-neutral-50 dark:bg-garnet px-1"><span>Elba</span> (<span class="italic">npub1ekj…79v2</span>)</a></span>’s unwellness calicos. <br/><br/>Muffin had to be shaved recently to have some mats removed and she is indignant about it. <br/><br/>#cats #catsofmastodon<br/> <img src="https://fd.discuss.systems/media_attachments/files/113/649/000/561/683/212/original/fdd5cc35316abe0f.jpeg"> <br/> <img src="https://fd.discuss.systems/media_attachments/files/113/649/001/372/130/436/original/670802220fcb2afe.jpeg"> <br/> <img src="https://fd.discuss.systems/media_attachments/files/113/649/002/277/472/339/original/85d92be1a761d837.jpeg"> <br/> 2024-12-14T03:15:56Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsg4k5mwqvn4srlyg7t3nqg77xnp763yuy72t05g654uva7ghju82gzyp9fltzrfr4lzmt04qa8cqr8w5ewwwh5c3fch5yp4l78ka3xkqxlkdk67r0 <span itemprop="mentions" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a itemprop="url" href="/npub1uvkea4euhqhmv26d4hj2m79exkxaafqygmet6h0ngqd622778mjq4mcjyf" class="bg-lavender dark:prose:text-neutral-50 dark:text-neutral-50 dark:bg-garnet px-1"><span>Irene Zhang</span> (<span class="italic">npub1uvk…cjyf</span>)</a></span> posted earlier about the controversy about the UW CSE grad student skit being cancelled for criticizing the administration (<a href="https://discuss.systems/@irene/113600301389320679">https://discuss.systems/@irene/113600301389320679</a>) and then reinstated, but I thought I would share the actual storyline behind it because it is great:<br/><br/>The new art installation in the CSE building, a creepy robot, becomes sentient and starts eating students. Students express concern to the administration, but it brushes them off and refers them to the Title 404 office, which handles robot-related complaints. The department refuses to ban the robots from the building because they threaten to sue, and instead says &#34;let&#39;s let this play out in the Title 404 office. Students always have the option to work from home if they want to reduce the risk of being eaten by a robot.&#34; The department refuses to hold a training on how to deactivate robots until the Title 404 investigation concludes. Instead, the students have to organize themselves to fight back against student-eating robots. 2024-12-10T02:43:39Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsze3lga8v67nd3w2g6383wqa307gfcnrp0xh9sj829p36z2r59hdszyp9fltzrfr4lzmt04qa8cqr8w5ewwwh5c3fch5yp4l78ka3xkqxlkllxmcw OMG, <span itemprop="mentions" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a itemprop="url" href="/npub1uvkea4euhqhmv26d4hj2m79exkxaafqygmet6h0ngqd622778mjq4mcjyf" class="bg-lavender dark:prose:text-neutral-50 dark:text-neutral-50 dark:bg-garnet px-1"><span>Irene Zhang</span> (<span class="italic">npub1uvk…cjyf</span>)</a></span> and I were just sitting by the beach on vacation when…<br/><br/>#capybara<br/> <img src="https://fd.discuss.systems/media_attachments/files/113/591/186/216/567/929/original/a0b62ca8cefee93f.jpeg"> <br/> <img src="https://fd.discuss.systems/media_attachments/files/113/591/186/683/966/876/original/4c95c9b068a8add3.jpeg"> <br/> <img src="https://fd.discuss.systems/media_attachments/files/113/591/187/075/398/318/original/5aa5743f71c949a7.jpeg"> <br/> <img src="https://fd.discuss.systems/media_attachments/files/113/591/188/078/296/411/original/19d40bb93115594a.jpeg"> <br/> 2024-12-03T22:13:02Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsythy4jk5py30eh6cu0vggelp00dfdwm5ent664ktg2a7sq6pqvfczyp9fltzrfr4lzmt04qa8cqr8w5ewwwh5c3fch5yp4l78ka3xkqxlkxy9mtx Miso longs for the days when consumer electronics were all transparent. <br/><br/>#cats #catsofmastodon #mac<br/> <img src="https://fd.discuss.systems/media_attachments/files/113/545/006/630/233/889/original/53a5e93b564e2e3c.jpeg"> <br/> 2024-11-25T18:28:29Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsffg4cqhen7cslwad5u0f6auyhtaujjf09e85gtwxzt200gt47umczyp9fltzrfr4lzmt04qa8cqr8w5ewwwh5c3fch5yp4l78ka3xkqxlkn8anyk In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs9r0vv3j4hl6lxukpfz5ynxmj2patvya2zd4nhunkcr8uuevc7qkgsew5mk'>nevent1q…w5mk</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>I did once have someone try to argue with me about how Postgres serializable transactions work and demand to know what my source was. &#34;me.
