Rockstar parking at the Portland Pickles game! #Arcimoto #PortlandPicklesBaseball

LOLOLOL!

I've had a tab open for an item for about a month now that I just haven't gotten around to ordering.

A month ago, it was "regular price $169.99, sale price $119.99"

The week of Thanksgiving, it was "pre-Black Friday sale! $119.99"

On Black Friday "Black Friday sale! $119.99."

Monday it was "Cyber Monday sale! $119.99"

Today? "regular price $169.99, sale price $119.99."

FFS...

Do I happen to know anyone near Cleveland (Ohio) willing to pick up an online purchase and mail it to me? It's an eBay auction for local pickup only. It would require good packing to ensure it arrives okay, so I'm of course willing to compensate for your time in addition to packing+shipping cost.

In honor of six years, my first Toot. Thankfully, it has held true.

I'm seeing reports that Israel is going to put Gaza "under complete siege" - WTF? Gaza has BEEN under "complete siege" since 1967!

Petition to badge everything that currently says "45" in relation to DJT to instead say "P01135809"

Dammit, I’ve been a bad CoSoer. Sorry, most of my former BirdSite connections have moved to Mastodon, so I’ve been far more active there.

But now I’m at #HackerSummerCamp, and really should be posting here!

Anyone up for a #CoSoDEFCON #DEFCON #DEFCON31 meet up?

Just got back from our 5 hour Barbieheimer screening. I must say, the most unexpected part of the movie was the out of nowhere exhibitionist explicit sex scene...

Yeah, sorry, former coworker. I'm looking for jobs too, I'm not going to send any leads your way.

You wore a MAGA hat to a company event. In a famously-liberal city, with company founders who promoted very-liberal things.

(Former cow-orker was a sales engineer for the federal space. For some reason, he didn't stick around very long after Jan 20, 2021.)

Looks like I'll be looking for work soon. If anyone has any leads on Pacific Northwest or full-remote InfoSec "experienced customer facing technical person" (Technical Account Manager, Sales Engineer, etc.) I'd appreciate some leads.

Alright, just content-wiped my Reddit account then deleted it.

As I did with Twitter last year.

And Facebook (99%) in 2019. (My FB account is technically still active with a message saying so so no family members can have someone impersonate me.)

Formula E in Portland.

So…. Anyone have any good Lemmy instances for retrocomputing, Pacific-Northwest-US/Canada, InfoSec, role-playing-games (D&D/Pathfinder) or electric vehicles?

I know there's infosec.pub but it doesn't seem to be working accepting new users at the moment.

Related…. praise be unto `export TMPDIR=`

Oddest Linux oddity of the day: customer apparently has a /tmp that you can't execute from.

Dang, my pressure washer has died.

Plugged it in, turned it on, heard "motor whine" without any pressure, then the internal circuit breaker tripped.

Tried to reset, wouldn't. Looks like the motor burned itself out.

Not bad for a low-end unit I've had for 10 years that was already at least 10 years old when I got it free from a roadside "free" pile.

Yeah, because you are still technically employed at one WFH $100k+ job for a couple more days of paid PTO while you start your new WFH $100k+ job *REALLY* is what International Workers Day was rallying against…..

And not the single moms who have to work 2, 3, or even 4 part-time jobs *AND* hold "gig economy" "side hustles" to still live paycheck-to-paycheck because our crappy capitalist society that devalues blue-collar work and encourages companies to only hire part time without benefits...

*SIGH* Discussion on elephant-site about May Day and having to work on it. All the people involved are definitely "privileged" in high-paying IT roles. (Disclaimer: that includes me.)

One tooted "I'm not only starting my new job today, I'm still technically employed at my previous job, so I probably win some award for Most Employed Person on May Day"

FBI: Rent-a-Hitman site nabbed Air National Guardsman who was “excited” to kill - from Ars Technica:

"US authorities say a 21-year-old Air National Guardsman applied for hitman work on the satirical RentAHitman.com website and later agreed to kill a fictional person in exchange for $5,000"
