#geezer — Public Fediverse posts

Since today is my 65th #birthday, I am now, officially, a #Geezer. Or, as we say in my family, an #altacocker.

Easter in Nashville, 1977. I wasn't always a Curmudgeonly Old Hermit. #hermit #hermitting #curmudgeon #hermits #curmudgeons #grump #grumps #coot #geezer #nashville #tennessee #southern #southernstates #travel #vacation #holiday #vacations #usatravel #unitedstates #1970s #visit

A year or two ago I discovered white hairs GROWING IN MY EYEBROWS. It was not a welcome discovery.

Today I found white hairs GROWING INSIDE MY NOSE

My vision has been especially blurry and full of floaters for the last couple days. I keep rubbing my eyes as if that will make it better... #Geezer

@NanoRaptor My first apple ][+ had a cassette drive before adding floppies. 😭 #Geezer

We are Abhorrence.

And by we I mean me, for now.
Trying to keep this as the only social media platform for the band. Mostly run by the vocalist Jukka, again, for now.

Feel free to ask anything related to the band. I'll answer anything I want, at which point all opinions are personal and reflect the sarcasm or deliberate confusion deemed appropriate at that precise moment.

Found this random memory from six years ago. I'd just like to say that my 3 mile time is lower now and I'm about to hit sixty. #geezer #runner

Why do I see #rock #music as such a #geezer genre?

Well, for one, we're still giving #TheBeatles major music awards instead of newer bands over 50 years after they broke up! 😆

I'm in my 2nd day of a brain fart that...like the air they pump in you to do abdominal surgery...is taking its sweet time to resolve itself.

So please help me with what I should remember: what is the name of the scientific society that was founded by Latinx and Indigenous scientists but is open to others? I like the work they do and if I can't remember the acronym, I can't even find them in my bookmarks. #Geezer

Even if this is a staged photo, it makes a legit point that generational differences exist in socmed and productivity apps. #ThrowbackThurday #apps #geezer

Note to people bitching about #studentProtests ...

#Trump won't fix it. However, #Biden isn't fixing it, either.

Yes, #oct7, /and/ Yes, outsized retaliation.

It's May. Oct 7 is in the rearview. Protesting can't fix that. However, the Israelis are still killing Palestinians en masse. That /can/ stop at any time Israel chooses.

Any of y'all who are #parents know that kids act up for a reason, and, sure, you can give them time out and maybe they'll stop. But figuring out /why/ they're acting up and having a conversation is vastly more effective at stopping the acting out.

I'm an old #geezer who remembers other students at my school chanting in 1968. I remember #KentState. Apparently, not enough #campus #admins do.

linuxmafia.com is my site.

I really don't care about SSL (on my site), because there's no compelling use-case for https for anything the site does. (I could remove the current self-signed cert with no functional loss.)

The whole CA thing is notorious security theatre as implemented. (See Schneier's entire chapter on that in Secrets and Lies.)

Yes, I'll probably eventually upgrade to a serious SSL implementation using something less hopeless than OpenSSL (looking at wolfSSL and MatrixSSL in addition to the obvious LibreSSL [edit: add Rustls and possibly others; would have to check my records]), and I'll probably accomodate the unthinking masses with a Let's Encrypt cert the way MIchael Orlitzky eventually did, but think it's a well-meaning solution (from excellent and righteous people who are cherished friends) to the wrong problem, for the same reason MIchael Orlitzky does.

@willowpillow That gives me some flashbacks. The first time I tried to compile gentoo, it was on a Pentium2. The first emerge took about 2 1/2 days. Then I realized I hadn't emerged openoffice yet.....

I went on a Friday night shopping trip to pick up a few things, been doing that every 2-3 weeks lately. "A few things" sure has gotten expensive. Over $100 and I could carry it all in from the car in 2 trips.

Why, I remember when bread was a nickel!

Joint "Geezer" process update and Clip Studio feature request post.

#Geezer penciling and inking is moving along at a steady (slow) pace. We're halfway through the Kickstarter funding so there's still time to get on this! https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/offregisterpress/geezer-2

ALSO - I'm using Clip Studio Ex for drawing, and I just found this option to render the book in 3D and flip through and zoom in on the pages. Looks AMAZING! But there's NO WAY TO EXPORT IT! old skool static screenshots added.

Geezer#2 page 14 progress. Geezer singer Martin and drummer Jess. I was rather pleased with Martin's hand in particular. Bottle label and Jess' '93 contemporary tshirt design to come - any suggestions, comics Mastodon?
