This fine gentleman is Elonzo. He joined our family tonight!
Please adopt a critter today, if you can - there are so, so many in need of homes, and you'll get a friend for life!
I feel like this should go in a CW because the episode's nearly six hours long, lol. Heavy stuff but it's not hard to listen to and I've never been disappointed in anything I've heard from him. #HardcoreHistory with #DanCarlin
If you're living on planet Earth, I highly recommend you listen to this podcast episode from Hardcore History. This guy makes history relatable and moralizing. This episode is specifically about the Cuban Missile Crisis, which seems like it's hardly acknowledged anymore despite being a potentially world ending event (only time to date the US entered DEFCON 2).

Also listen to the other episodes because they're just as good.
showing somebody your slack highlight words is like telling somebody your True Name
it gives them power over you; they can summon you at will and use your abilities for their own gain or to hex those they dislike
hold your slack highlight words as one of your closest secrets
> "nobody will use your code if it's GPL, make it permissive" is the open source version of "we won't pay you, but you'll get exposure"

I'm somewhere between desiring to be a respectable member of society and wanting to start a meme page titled "Glue Lives Matter"
It only promotes us v them mentalities on all sides of the fence. Ignoring it won't make it go away. Bias runs through generations and many of the words we say and choices we make are affected by it. We inherit it from our upbringers and it's important to expose it and teach our own offspring about bias. Time alone can't heal wounds or scars.
When we think about or discuss issues of class, race, or gender equality, it is vital to try to find any implicit bias we may have. It's easy to try to personalize and exclude people by what we observe, but it's our own implicit bias versus the centuries of emotional oppression imposed by society.
Listening to people's experiences and respecting their perspectives is half of the way in fighting the social injustice prevelant across the world. Ignoring it only internalizes and amplifies emotions
Now that the server seems to be fully functioning (cert renewal and all), it may be a fun project to pick up. It also would be nice to have a decent-sized project that is outside of work. I'll start building the docu over the next week.
Thinking about overhauling https://github.com/kjhoerr/risk and trying again. I learned so much about programming and SQL since then that I'm kind of ashamed it even exists

So many summer releases, it's hard to keep up: Alt-J, Fleet Foxes, Arcade Fire, Moonchild, Lorde, Phoenix, and probably some others I'm forgetting
Five years ago I wrote about the problem that women are harassed and pushed out of the free/open source community: https://www.reddit.com/r/Ubuntu/comments/lsv0d/hey_slut_take_your_left_wing_socialist_idealogy/
Judging from this new article, and the reaction it gets on Reddit, we are no closer to a sollution today, we might even be going in the wrong direction https://www.reddit.com/r/opensource/comments/6ex4p0/diversity_in_open_source_is_even_worse_than_in/
Well, if I move from an RHEL instance to an Ubuntu instance, it has newer versions of OpenSSL and Apache anyways. I could get the features I wanted. So, yay? As long as it works, but if it doesn't it's not like I'm at a loss.
Tried to set up letsencrypt for renewal today (something I've been putting off), but apparently it doesn't like manually upgraded OpenSSL.
I reverted Apache and OpenSSL and it still gives the same error. So, copy all configs, data, and keys and try to put it on a "fresh" instance, I guess?
