When unloading laundry from the washing machine, normal people find random coins or keys or whatnot.

Techie types find random machine screws or connectors...

Dear Friends and #techie fiends,

- Due to #familiars/#family pressures I have made Zuckerburger bar my default messaging 'service' on my apple #spyware phone and data collection point.
I can not cut my family members off at the convenience store OR have them reported to the non existent Anarchist League of Rebels. Ah #well.

- Fortunately I will still be on #Mastodon due to its #robust and #mature #decentralised platform

- I will also be complying with all local laws that do not turn ordinary people into 'domestic terrorists' or servants/slaves terrorised by their lordships...

- I will be working unorthodox hours to improve my skill set. For example turning my desktop server into a working desktop instance/server. I have inadvertently already half completed this task. :ablobcatbongokeyboard:

This message or my brain will now self destruct :BlobCat_ThisIsFine: 🦞 :cyber_hacking: :0dd_verified:

🚀 Ah, the age-old tale where #techie #wonderkids deliver the holy grail of perfection, only for it to be politely shoved aside because, heaven forbid, "comfort" isn't synonymous with "correctness" in organizations. 🤦‍♂️ Take solace in knowing that your technical genius will be appreciated by exactly zero living souls until the #apocalypse. 🌍💥

🤖 Ah, the eternal struggle of the modern techie: choosing between being a #human or just a cog in the #AI #machine. 🤔 Fear not, for #AI #tools are here to hold your hand while you pretend to be a "better engineer," all while keeping you slightly terrified of your silicon overlords. 😱✍️

Ah, the thrilling saga of a #techie setting up a #FreeBSD home #NAS because apparently, Netflix wasn't entertaining enough 🤓. In a riveting tale of #RAID1 configurations and SSD slot descriptions, the author bravely sacrifices their social life to the gods of data redundancy 💾. Meanwhile, the rest of us are still trying to figure out how to connect our WiFi 📶.

@_elena @yunohost Very nice, wel written blogpost about #yunohost for #newbies

Even though I consider myself to be a #techie, I still feel a bit uncertain about selfhosting. Your post made me decide to finally go for it. Thanks!

I'm looking forward to the post about backup/restore. I do hope you are going to do a post about that.

Hi! I’m Stitch - very excited to find a new home here at Cortex Implant. I come from a small Mastodon island of techie goths and I'm a wearer of too many hats...
