I very much remember this, from when I was ten or so.

In the same vein, is the "The Adventure of the Dancing Men" [1]

This is great, because the one problem I have with the cyberpunk dystopian future we live in, is the disappointing lack of neon.

This looks like a pretty good resource.

I'd like to add the following, which I continually reference and has led to repeatable success:

And as far as confirming it works, I continually rely on sending to a gmail address.

Under the three dots is "view original" which gives you

SPF, DKIM, and DMARC results.

Brent Chapman, author of "Incident Management for DevOps and SRE", just got back from his annual "not exactly a vacation" trip to Burning Man, where he's worked as a "Dispatch Supervisor" since 2012.[1]

I as able to hear him at BayLISA giving his talk on incident command and what we can learn from the fire department[2][3], an excellent talk.

just remember: despite they would have you believe they are are a united front... they are better thought of as a "loose federation of warring tribes".

Someone probably set it to "magic", when everyone knows its supposed to be set to "more magic".

One of the greatest stories of all time, is the story of "Boatmurdered".

A long read, but makes me laugh every time.

I contend people will be willing, even eager, to pay a premium for content provably produced by humans.

Are you an artist? A woodworker? Metalsmith? ... start recording your work and post it to youtube. I guarantee people will be willing to pay extra for the thing you built (I certainly would).

buredoranna — Mon, 03 Aug 2026 22:02:39 +0000

I get the sentiment, but providing an actual number stretches the word "hidden" beyond its breaking point.

Now if the number was ?? and labeled "undisclosed"... that would present a more serious problem.

I feel like "BEWARE"... is, given the context, what we would now likely call "load-bearing"
