I love my people. xD

Me and the bois were talking about IT jokes and one of them remembered "McSquirrel". So I went to DuckDuckGo, then DuckDuckGo, and tried to find this funny message a server provider posted once - but, nowhere to be found, literally "lost". o.o

So instead I popped my old MySQL database from way back in the day, loaded up CLI and did a `... text LIKE "%McSquirrel%";` and... found it. :D So here it is, enjoy!

So like. Ok check this out. We have this big data center right? And this big data center is like really big and stuff, and it uses a lot of this power stuff. Well like ok so you know when you have really important stuff like I dunno your computer or your Xbox or something and if the power goes out you want to keep it from just suddenly turning off right? Cause there's nothing worse than when the power goes out during a game of Call of Duty and it's like "Oh Crap man I was just about to win and shit just got real and the hell?"

So you plug it in to this thing like a UPS or something kinda like the dudes that deliver packages and I always have to sign for shit. I mean it's no big deal anyways since I don't work during the day and deliver pizzas at night and the UPS guy is always here around 2:30 or so. Oh yeah. So ok About that.

So our really big data center is supposed to have a UPS which it does I think. But apparently like ok so some squirrel was like chewing on the wires again and it's like "stop it damnit", but anyways. So this squirrel is all up there omnomnoming the wires, and like zap! The squirrel is now like a McSquirrel or something which probably wouldn't taste good even with cheese and mayo, but like the power got all funny and the data center went pop and apparently the UPS was never plugged in cause Joe was like all like "Dude I'll do it tomorrow."

So now our customers like can't run their websites and stuff which sucks because now the world is all like "Omfg where's all the websites with cat pictures", and some 15-year-old can't see lolcats or something and kills himself and then it's like on the news abouthow we really fucked up and the headline is all like I Can has funeral and everyone laughs but it's a real dick move.

So we're trying to fix it, but it's like difficult and we think we got it so we want to apologize if your site wasn't working but it should work now so don't cancel your service. We promise this won't happen again. Until next week.

For some reason I thought he was not alive anymore... must've confused him with the Trololo guy? ... Either way, this is the proper way to start this year. Credit where credit is due, good booking BBC!

npub...@nostr.mail ?

I mean technically speaking, if we could find a way to:

- Have a dumb SMTP server listen on p25

- that sends each email to a script,

- the script figures out who this went to (npub),

- converts it into a DM, assigns it an nsec ("address book"),

- and sends it to the related npub.

... insert clamav or other antispam stuff in there, for good meassure. Buut probably possible. I faintly remember seing an SMTP server hostable as a library in NodeJS that can technically do that.

wat

But didnt it go like 46k or something? And the year isnt half a month old either O_o

Can't see myself using stock on my Pixel Fold.

I might be missing one or two QoL features, but otherwise, it's amazing, reliable (my phone has not crashed once, ever, so far) and does all the things it should... but, securely. :)

I hadn't realized GraphoneOS staff was here :O

So neat, hab a follow! ^^

Here in the EU, we have GDPR. I do /not/ want to be roped into a customer sueing us because a collegue used AI to fix a random issue and ended up punching something considered sensitive data into it.

Aside from that, we maintain a WordPress site and basically all the big plugins like Elementor advertise AI shenanigans now - usually OpenAI integrations.

Not a security thread "per se" ... but a thread never the less.

By running away from it and making sure my collegues don't end up dumping sensitive customer data into OpenAI's logs...

McDonnalds is cheaper. (:

I am home and the week is behind me.

New music on Spotify is making me happy as hell.

Time to enjoy the free time! ^_^

Never ;)

Feline companions are the best. ^-^

Decided to check global because of #slowstr

Even that is kinda dead. xD Well not really, but just a bunch of bitcoin price bots and news feeds... and a few japanese posts inbetween. o.o

Im too early... in time... literally. xD

It's a good logo, for sure. But I like the ostrich and the metaphor that those birds can go quite a distance, much like what the mentality is here; we are all early and working hard to #grownostr ^^

#slowstr at it's finest. Feels almost like im here alone vibing to some synthwave x)

What y'all up to?

I have met, and made friends with some, Bitcoiners who are super chill. They'd talk about the rise or dip like once or twice a month but be super relaxed about it. Like with many things, there are "good versions"...but a crapton of "bad versions", and usually those are also the loudest. :/

Found a playlist full of synthwave covers - this is one of them and its so nice ^.^ I want a #synthwave theme for a #nostr client, unironically.

So true.

Always nice to re-find this one.
