reducto$ echo "ref: refs/heads/main" > ~/.config/git/template/HEAD
reducto$ mkdir newRepo
reducto$ cd newRepo/

Gente hay un bot con varias cuentas en varias instancias spameando algo como "mira a estas feministas fallar", lleva a un enlace malicioso, no lo abran y reportenmelos para bloquearlos!
subtoot: I am so very tired of people who insist that only actions that are literally illegal are sufficient cause for negative social consequences.

elder days story time (2/2)
so Elizabeth Sandifer's running a Tori Amos retrospective on her blog, and she just covered "Crucify": http://www.eruditorumpress.com/blog/an-empty-cage-girl-crucify/
and so I thought maybe I should give that album another try, it's been 25 years...
and now I have a whole new theory for why I hated it back then. It wasn't $DRIVER's obsession at all. It was his car. Specifically, its shitty sound system. You couldn't tell when he was playing Kurt Cobain, but Amos demands clean treble.
elder days story time (1/2)
I went to high school in Los Angeles in the early 1990s, at a school halfway across the San Fernando Valley from my parents' house. Hour-long commute each way, with an older kid who had a car.
That dude was obsessed with Tori Amos' album "Little Earthquakes". One time he played "Crucify" at least three times in a row.
I hated every one of those songs, and if you'd asked me I would've said it was nothing to do with Amos, it was that dude and his obsession.
I wish Python had an actual sockaddr type

what you're referring to as illumos is really illumos+gnu+pkgsrc, illumos is not an operating system onto itself but rather a weird attempt to create a framework for reviving something that was shot in the back 3 times by larry ellison

Genie: You have ONE WISH.
Me: Alright, I have one, but it's very detailed.
Genie: As long as it is only one wish, you're allowed to spend as much time as you want detailing it.
Me: Alright, here we go. *Grabs notebook and takes a deep breath* The key words MUST, MUST NOT, REQUIRED, SHALL, SHALL NOT, SHOULD, SHOULD NOT, RECOMMENDED, MAY, and OPTIONAL are to be interpreted as described in [RFC2119].
Genie: Wait, is that...?
Me: *Flips notebook* Chapter 1. Preamble.
