  1. For some reason this rock in Utah made me think about some guy in Nebraska.

  2. Okay, folks, gather 'round, because you are not going to believe this one. My friend who is working at NASA told me this confidential news , but i can finally spill the beans: NASA is officially running NetBSD.

    Yeah, you heard that right. Turns out, when you need an OS that can literally run on a potato *and* survive the vacuum of space without a hiccup, you do not mess around. They have been working under wraps with their deep space division on something they are calling "AstroBSD."

    Apparently, the Perseverance rover on Mars? Yeah, it is not just taking pretty pictures; it is crunching data with a custom NetBSD kernel.

    This just proves what foundation has been saying forever: "Of course it runs NetBSD!" From your ancient router to a rover on another planet.

  7. @ra6bit @soatok And lo, the number 42 arrived with wit from a very clever man. And from then on, we agreed our random seed would be 42 so that we too might be clever men. And the API key shall be checked into the public repo lest we lose it in our sticky notes ....

  12. 4077 for MFA, guess 2026 is going to be a mess

    Hopefully with hijinks and humor, but not so much meatball surgery

    On the Fediverse we know we'll get plenty of cross-dressing in a variety of forms

    Also protests against wars and inhumanity

  13. 16D6? Ouch! MFA's doing a lot of damage today!

    Hoping for a natural 20

    #GeekHumor #sysadmin #MFAshortStories

  14. Needed 4 random digits for my PIN, so chose left and right birds, right index and left pinky

    Not much entropy, but didn't want to have to take shoes off for MFA

  15. "ByTor" spelled just like it sounds if you're a Rush fan

    "I play bass" she said

    Some ISPs have good customer service :)

  20. Needed 4 random characters for my PIN, so chose Samwise Gamgee, Rose Tyler, Zoë Boutin-Perry and Hawkeye Pierce

    Had to replace Zoë with her mom Jane because the server couldn't handle umlauts

  21. "100W", today's MFA moved back to incandescent from LAD lightbulbs

    It could be an allegory about how wasteful computing resources have become

    Or maybe it's just 4 random characters

  22. 23D6, ugh, multi-factor authentication is doing a lot of damage today

  23. Ah, the classic tale of a tech bro transforming a bird-brained problem into a full-on geek fest! 🚀💻 Because nothing screams "simple solution" like a WiFi water gun and Python script to combat the terror of pigeon poop. Next step: AI-powered drone to mow the lawn. 🐦🔫

  24. Scott Laird spent a month 🤯 trying to synchronize his #Linux #clocks and wrote 3800 words 📚 on it — because apparently, nothing screams "gripping content" like the minutiae of time sync accuracy. Spoiler alert: it's as riveting as watching paint dry 🖌️.
