Buttered Jorts

Nothing quite like poking at a GitHub repo, then checking out the author's profile and finding a Mastodon account.
Related, if I seem to suddenly be following you out of the blue without prior interaction, that may be why xD

Am I bored enough to try learning Pester for testing PowerShell again?

I say this because we have too many damn comfy towels, and still a bunch of uncomfy ones, because they’re too bad to donate, too good to throw away, and more than we could reasonably use.
And yet we still run out because they end up becoming a laundry backlog that we can’t keep up with.

I might not root for the animal beforehand, but certainly good for them, and I won’t shed a tear on the outcome.

look man, I grew up hunting, and reading the romanticized accounts of Africa from Bell, Taylor, and Capstick. I can’t honestly say that if I ever had the opportunity to go on a safari I wouldn’t. But as far as I’m concerned them’s the breaks. If you decided to go hunt things that could kill you, you inherently deserve it when those things kill you. That’s the bargain you made.

ours isn’t open, but also not that restricted. Too many partner orgs who use Teams and need to collaborate.
It’s the tight integration, Microsoft stack sucks but beats G Suite+Slack+Zoom any day. Unfortunately as an org we Reyn all of the above, and more besides…

oh, the former. There could be something better, but it happens to be my flavor of least-bad-bad-option.

may I introduce you to the idea of the shirtless sleeve? Imagine if you will, a pair of long sleeves connected by nothing but that stretchy cotton/elastic webbing used in jockstraps.

tangent: I’ve got nothing to say yet, but between watching you blog and some other stuff, I’ve been convinced to start my own.

how is this not just externalizing your costs on the Internet Archive?
I do mean that in the nicest way possible, I legitimately want to understand.

So then you think maybe I should set up a blog. And then you remember that all your resources are hosted through one reverse proxy, and one of your domains is your ham call sign. So then you think maybe I should get a new domain, and a new host, and then a blog, and then write my blog post.

When you have thoughts on something and want to explore them with a blog post, but you don’t have a blog…

more importantly, normalize using TOR so that the people who need it for serious reasons are lost in the noise of the folks who do it just cause.

I was gonna ask why you thought “Egyptian God of Darkness” vs “Annoying online gamer laugh” but looking up the etymology I see those two collided and metastasized… news to me.

Anybody have a preferred way to deduplicate files in Linux?
For context, what I’m working with is ~2TB of backups from external drives with the largely the same set of users. I would not trust that identical names are identical files, and I’m sure that identical files live under multiple names. Lots of pictures, some music, etc., and the desired end state is reclaiming space and making the directory structure more usable without losing information from the current directory structure.
For the pictures, maybe that means adding EXIF tags that contain the current path, then consolidating EXIF data from identical files, then a second path through something that can pick up duplicates of e.g. different resolutions? Or is my best path creating a working copy of everything and trying to manually rearrange it one bite at a time?
