 California has a few wildfires going on, in case you have heard. The biggest has already burned almost 400,000 acres of land. That is 625 square miles (or 1,600 km²), or a square of 25 miles (or 40 km) on one side. The active fire line they are trying to defend is apparently 200 miles (320km) long. It's only 24% contained. The magnitude of these numbers is really hard to comprehend. I've been around long enough that I never expect my software to work. (Well, I don't expect other people's software to work either.) It's such a nice gift when it actually does work, on the first try.

 @lmorchard I am actually convinced this was intentional...(I encountered it signing up for Kofi...)  @lmorchard those tigers all look like someone has done tiger face painting on them at a children's party. Interesting how some map apps give you a choice of 1) fastest route vs 2) fewer turns and such, but I have never seen things such as 3) produces less noise for people living along the road or 4) most scenic route, or very importantly 5) least energy spent for the trip. CrowdStrike is being sued by shareholders who claim its inadequate testing and rollout processes defrauded them as the stock price has now since tanked 32% since their disastrous update. Someone is channeling @matt_levine “inadequate testing is securities fraud”  @carnage4life @matt_levine I wish them all the best in trying to tame the tech industry's shoddy work practices. Why do websites make you fill in your e-mail address again when asking for a password reset, after you just typed it in attempting to log in? Moving accounts from one Mastodon instance to another is actually surprisingly straightforward. The largest time consumer? DNS setup with a new domain, as always.  Not having swap space from the get-go for this server ... that was a mistake! Fixed ... much better! |
