If you're having thread contention with `database.lock` just add a lock file to control access to the lock file. Use `database.lock.lock` to prevent any concurrency issues in the future.

There’s been a fucking Cybertruck parked in front of my house for five days. So annoying.

You have ruined my day. I might just take the week off to recover.

This weird fetish of AWS trying to trick customers into creating resources in Ohio has got to stop. Maybe I’ll create a browser extension that causes a kernel panic any time us-east-2 is seen on the page.

All I’ve ever wanted is for the Revolution to knock on my door in need of a weird cable.

Not to sow chaos or anything, but if Europe wanted to eliminate the orange menace, they could just announce that they will no longer enforce US patent, copyright, and intellectual property laws. Want to operate a bootleg Star Wars streaming service in France? Go for it. Want to make counterfeit Nike shoes in Denmark? Have at it. Start selling Oracle for $199 and Bloomberg terminal proxy access for free. See how long regime change takes.

Related advice I give to anybody who will listen: create a unique email address for each vendor with whom you do business, preferably using a syntax that allows for data leak detection and a random token, such as `pornhub-rksufi837@domain.tld`. This allows easy rejection of junk when the vendor inevitably loses control of their database.

Until just recently, searching for “ventura county fair 2025 concerts” returned a fabricated lineup based on performers from previous years. So much innovation.

It took a couple tries to get the ball through the hoop on Liberapay, but I got it done. I've been interested to move some projects out of Microsoft® GitHub® for quite some time. Thanks for the call to action.

If my wheel suggested that I eat glue or that strawberry has two R’s, I’d be pretty fucking skeptical.
