Replying to @SeanWrightSec
And then,there are some people like @amingilani,who not only will fail the phishing test, but will go extra mile, querying the mail server,get as much details as possible & write up about the whole thing while folks at security holding their head and saying:”WTF just happened” πŸ˜‚

I spent this afternoon moving video content from clares.ca to an object store, and writing forwarding rules. Took me an hour or so but imagine not being a developer. This stuff would have taken me weeks.

A few years ago a friend asked me how he could batch rename files. I wrote him a one-liner. Turns out a colleague of his had allocated 3 weeks + overtime to manually rename each file by hand. πŸ’€

Remember when we were told children were being killed in Gaza because Hamas was using them as human shields? Now we know the real reason. When Israel wanted to kill someone, they waited till he went home, then dropped a bomb on the building, killing the whole family.

Today we demand that we separate the lies from the truth and shed light on the very words in 295-C that have created terror and horror in the name of a man who taught us mercy and compassion #talkabout295C

For an hour today our Python tests just randomly broke. I had no idea why and then they just worked? Dove down the rabbit hole and realized that Django changed a naive datestamp 2:55 AM 2024-03-10 to Eastern Time. But due to the daylight savings, that time doesn’t exist. πŸ˜‚

The sheer luck of me running tests after work hours, during one of the twice/year hour-long windows, and catching this event at all makes it so funny πŸ˜‚

Thinking aloud: Why was this system standardized on local time? If we from EDT to EST, we repeat an hour. I have an hour long window to add records that are sequenced differently in our DB than chronologically. And why standardize at UTC with its leap seconds when UT1 exists?

I love using VoicOver on macOS as an audio aid when reading. But I'm very annoyed by its assumption that "MST" (minimum spanning treeβ€”in the context of the material) should be read aloud as "Mountain Standard Time". "Edges X are part of some Mountain Standard Time T..."

I keep thinking about the PIA employee I encountered 10 years ago. He said he had to take a β€œselfie” of my ID before laying it on the table and taking a photo from his phone’s back camera. Hope he’s doing better.

Nothing like spending 3 hours searching the internet for an answer and finding it in a book that’s been chilling on yourself for a year.
