What the fuck is that picture? Jesus Christ. I didn’t know body horror applied to robots too.

I think it’s time California stops paying federal taxes, if this is how the federal government treats it.

Forget New Years Resolutions, how is the New Years Revolution coming along?

I’m not a service worker, but I work for myself and so far haven’t made a profit. I just finished the code for a task that’s taken about a month. Over the next couple weeks I’ll be running migrations and testing. Then maybe I’ll finally be happy.

Some backstory if you’re interested:

I run an email service called https://port87.com/

When I was young an naive (two years ago), I used an email parser that basically gives me the entire hierarchy of an email (emails are laid out hierarchically, if you didn’t know), and saved that into the database in a JSON structure. That’s bad for a few reasons:

• It’s not searchable, so I had to store a searchable text string as well, doubling the storage requirement.
• It’s complicated to parse, so displaying emails takes a lot of code.
• The parse I used doesn’t understand emails that aren’t text or HTML (like gmails DMARC reports are XML).
• The parser also only considers something an attachment if it’s transferred with base64 encoding, so anything transferred as quoted-printable is actually stored in the DB right now, instead of blob storage. In other words, I have PDFs wasting space in my Postgres DB.

So this task involved implementing a new, smarter email parser and rewriting the email body storage to be a more flat representation of just text, HTML, and attachments. I also store the original email message in blob storage (and I wrote a new blob storage system, because S3 sucks). I need to rebuild the original message for every email that’s currently stored, and then rewrite their body storage into this new format.

All this for no pay! (But hopefully this will make it easier to build the features that will eventually be paid features.)

We’re way past the early warning signs.

Well if you don’t like black rectangle, you can have silver rectangle.

Parker, usually. But Pilot is also good. Depends if I want a nice pen or a cheap pen. Kawecos are really nice, but I don’t currently own one.

The more androgynous the better, please. Thank you.

Being a 6’2” broad shouldered wide rib caged big hands big feet hairy person who can’t shave or wax is probably someone else’s dream body, so maybe we could even trade.

You want some of mine? I’m a size 12 and it’s hard to find shoes in 12. Most places carry a smaller selection, so I can usually find shoes, just not shoes I want.

I mean we already all believe they were at least in on it, so… not at all.

As a developer and sysadmin, I welcome you.

They’ve already had US sanctions since the start of the war. The thing that would actually help is continuing to aid Ukraine. Since he stopped that, his motivations are pretty fucking clear.

That doesn’t mean he’s not deep in their pockets.

He’s bought and paid for by the oil barons.

What’s the point of a thinner phone if the camera bump is the same size?

Cool, so, boring ass games with just straight white men and bimbos, because that’s not politics, that’s the default.

I can’t wait until companies realize that they’re scared of the biggest pussies on earth, conservative white men.
