@hannah Fun fact: systemd (the daemon program for starting up the subprocesses of a linux system, not unlike launchd or the init script, which many other distributions refuse to use because in their opinion it does too many things) was actually named that as a pun on the French concept of Système D(ebruiller), (I.e., skill of improvisation).

Knitting is classical music. Crochet is jazz. Cross-stitch is techno. Machine weaving is a Jack Antonoff production and handloom is Steve Albini. Latch hook is GarageBand. Lacemaking is a 17th century harpsichord

@hannah so if I crochet lace is it jazz played on a 17th century harpsicord?

Jeneric

@hannah I am not a knitter, but my wife sure is. For her, knitting is not classical music, but a DJ series on YouTube called 'My Analogue Journal'.
I do get your list for the most part, except for the Steve Albini.

This is by far the most D&D thing i've seen in a regular book

@hannah All these infusions and diet light. I only accept heavy water!

@hannah
I hope this is better than that "water with extra oxygen" crap. That stuff was awful.

Between CVE and SCP i always forget which one is about weird incomprehensible scary shit and which is a guy with a skull head

@hannah my job would be a lot more fun if I was dealing with SCP-2023-6246.

@hannah Stop using CVSS language!

Instead of saying "This is a 9.8/10 severity vulnerability exploitable remotely over the network.", say
"This is a keter-class CVE, threatening an XK-class end of business scenario. MTF Rho-11 'Daemon Hunters' have been dispatched to reestablish containment".

@hannah This thread might get my SCP-obsessed son to join Mastodon.

If only there was a better way to show the inside of a fridge

One of the lcd screen fridges is broken so there’s a taped up sign

Chilling at the airport and noticed there was a perfectly hexagonal pond nearby.. i was thinking maybe it was related to some kind of industrial thing, and i was right, but i didnt expect it to be 1900 years old

@hannah Trajan: I am entering my hexagon phase

@hannah Trajan seems to have been a prolific builder. I live next to the (party restored) ruins of the Colonia Ulpia Traiana and it's quite impressive.

@hannah Microsoft has you read strings about that long, out loud, to a phone system in order to verify Windows authenticity without internet access. It's horrible.

It’s cool that you can just pick up and read a book from 100 years ago with no special tools or procedures or conversion software

Its both etymologically valid and extremely confusing to refer to same sex marriages as cis and straight ones as trans

@hannah related; chemists must be getting a lot of confused hate mail right now.

Amichai

@hannah@posts.rat.pictures my husband and I are both trans masc, can I say it's a cis trans marriage or do I only get to pick one?

kindly shopkeeper

I'm not exactly sure what it means to win at trans visibility but I'm happy to accept the honor

an sf chronicle article about me with the headline "Winning in trivia - and in trans visibility"

(in fairness: the interviewer, joshua kosman, did a really lovely job with the piece and I don't think he's responsible for the headline)

The photo they used for the online version is a really nice pic of me but it also kind of looks like im about to lose a presidential debate to a talking dog
