what does it look like to work in dysfunctional IT? How about retrocomputing or video games?

also offering up some hot takes on programming despite discovering decades ago that being a programmer is best left to others.

liberal user of CWs; trying to atone for over a decade of Twitter ruin.

The country flags above show which countries in the world I've been to.

NO LONGER yakkoj on Twitter.

Dictation just heard "MarioDB" instead of "MariaDB" and I cannot get the mental image out

@fasterthanlime it needs to make that "Pipe Warp" noise when a DELETE or DROP is done ;o)

I wonder how hard it is to make a fake USB printer.
Like, a printer that takes any printout and goes "yep, that printed just fine" but nothing ever comes out anywhere

@foone hell, that seems like it'd be easy: have a thing that looks like a printer and accepts the print job, then does nothing with it!

I'm gonna see if I can get my raspi to boot from a spinning rust drive. Why not?

@foone it worked for me when I added the firmware to make RasPi 3 boot USB. Booted off WD's 3.14GB drive fine!

Bad idea that could still make a lot of money:
A small desk-size washing machine, with proprietary soap packets, designed to clean keyboard keycaps.

@foone all it needs is built-in wi-fi and firmware update requirement out-of-box, and it's a viable product!
