Been a while so I have some updates:
1. Pluribus is FANTASTIC. Best show I've seen in a while now.
2. The Diddy documentary was pretty good.
3. The New Yorker 100 years documentary was great!
4. California and Arizona were cold at night.
5. Costa Rica and Nicaragua are not cold at night.
That is all.
To battle test our #OpenSource routing engine Rotonda, we are in dire need of a bare metal server. Can you help us?
We have several offers for #BGP feeds and in-kind rack space, but no capable server to continually run our tests on.
We realise this is a big ask, because it would have to be quite a beefy server with a lot of RAM (128GB+). If you are decommissioning old servers, or know of any way to help our #NonProfit foundation, please reach out.
Sharing is caring. 🧡
If there's one thing I learned by living in Latin America for so long it's this...
Miss Universe pageant is a very big deal.
I imagine it's similar in Asia and Africa as well.
I wasn't affected by the #Cloudflare outage because I don't have any websites popular enough to need that service.
I keep staying one step ahead.
I will never forget having to edit Jamal’s final, posthumous piece for the Washington Post, after he was murdered.
He was calling for free expression in the Arab world. You can read it here :

I continue to strive to make my mom proud of me. For instance, yesterday I finally added multi font support to my terminal. I can now see more emoji's and icons and powerline smoothness.
The next time someone tells you that America isn’t a sick & racist country, just remind them that this nation is willing to accept treason, rape, and child abuse from a white president but not healthcare from a Black one.

What the actual f*ck?!?
@nilix Weird. It seems to happen more often than not for me lately but that wasn't the case before. Not sure what could have changed. Anyway thanks for the reply
#honk team - am I the only one that constantly has issues with common servers? Ie, I follow a few users on hachyderm.io but I just tried to follow dalias and I get a 401. I get these most of the time now when trying to follow.
I also notice some users no longer are updating even though when I go to their page (always a Mastodon instance) there is recent activity. I unsub and resub (usually this works) and the updates begin again.
Anyone else seeing this?
Inside you are two LLMs
@icy @novalis @tedu @knapjack Sadly no. Though while I didn't really like book 2 I am hoping to read book 3 of the King Killer Chronicles at some point.
As for this Book of Dust trilogy, so far this book 3 is not disappointing me. I'm enjoying the story so far.
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Yamamoto show.
Wow!

One thing that always pissed me off is this.
$2100 can be said as twenty-one hundred but...
$2000 can't be said as twenty hundred.
English majors... WHY???
Update from the original honk over a year ago...
Took 6 years but today the final book in this trilogy was released!

Keep on waiting for your books friends @novalis @icy @tedu @knapjack
This is wild! We got NBA players/coaches, Poker, and 4 of the 5 NY mafia families. Movie of the week material.

@tedu Take the wind right out of my sails why don't ya.
@smlavine DHH has many fans. I was wondering why I'd seen quite a few YouTube suggestions about this and I was like, wtf is Omarchy Linux?
First Cinci, then Philly and now Milwaukee.
Watching the

@nomdeb Yea I also liked Peaky Blinders. At least the first 3-4 seasons (I did eventually get bored of it and never finished the series). But HoG was just boring in basically all aspects to me.

God these people are f'n gross.
Was a rainy day yesterday so we decided to chill and watch a movie.
We watched Perfect Days on #Netflix. Japanese movie that has maybe 20 words the first hour. Seriously a beautiful movie and not many words are needed to tell this story.
Not gonna lie there was a bit of onion cutting going on at a few points in the movie. I kind of want to watch it again just because I enjoyed it so much. Highly recommend it!

@jerome Let me know how far you make it. I'm curious if I'm just being a twerp or not.
@nomdeb Yea I usually go at least 2 episodes because the pilot can be a total wash. But I won't continue after 4 episodes. So boring and so many different drama scenarios that feel totally forced in.
Anyone actually enjoying House of Guinness? I'm 4 episodes deep and I think I'll jump ship. I just don't care to watch another episode. #netflix
@zev I mean Casey Neistat published a video about it pretty much immediately. Not sure if it's part of the marketing push because he wasn't that keen on it but it did feel like a video showing off it's abilities. Anyway, I sure hope it goes away but I really doubt it.
Oh sweet, now I'm seeing all this #Sora slop in my IG feed. God what have we become?
A pretty cool thing about the Fediverse:
It will still be around in a decade. Even two decades.
Usenet still exists. IRC still exists. Email still exists. When you build platforms on open protocols and standards, it doesn't actually matter what corporations try and do to enshittify it. So long as there are people who are still willing to run instances, and users who still want to talk to one another without going through some corporation's platform, it'll still be here.
@teleclimber @ash Hah cool! I think the last time I used Windows as a daily driver was Windows 95 so, nice blast from the past.

I've seen the news of a successful treatment of Huntington's described as "a miracle" and it really, really annoys me to see the work of years described as "a miracle". It's not a miracle. People busted their ass for ages, possibly overworked, possibly underpaid. Undergrads and grads toiled in labs at unholy hours on weekends. It's not a miracle. I don't even want to say "It's science" because it's not about the scientific method (ok, it is in this case, but), it's about the very hard work.
@smlavine @thomasfuchs @can We still use AnyHow (shameless plug) but we built it to avoid BaseCamp, and the like, over a decade ago for other reasons (pre DHH nazi phase).
I feel like I've only been honking to throw shade lately but I've got some more shade to throw...
Anyone up on Black Rabbit yet? I watched 3 episodes so far and it's pretty meh. I had such high hopes, though not sure why.
Had to do this ID verification thing for Stripe now (twice) and it involves taking 3 selfies to verify my face matches that of my ID.
The selfies confirm. I'm old and ugly. Thanks for that #Stripe.
I heard a recent podcast where a developer was saying that AI apps today are like web apps from 10 years ago (yes, 2015), where you had to learn to not mix customers data or leak customers data. He claimed it was a new concept in 2015. And this is the state of the average developer today.
@teleclimber And it keeps getting worse...
