LXC is garbage too - containers plus all the pain of package management and no proper version control. If you want containers then use OCI, end of story.

Amazon blocked the right click menu to open pages in a new tab on mobile. Now I have to learn what they did and hack around it. What a waste of time just to force a sinister UI pattern on customers.

Music for the Jilted Generation is 30 years old this year - the new classic rock? Fuck 'em and their law

Listening to a talk about packaging security and realised that I remember the switch from insecure to secure apt in Debian cos I did the update manually ahead of the Debian deadline. Must have been around 2003-2005.

So much happier and healthier 6 months after leaving #dell. No more artificial deadlines and pointless meetings. I'm sleeping better and feeling great!

Lunching at Borough Market for the first time in ages. Decided to treat myself and go for almond croissant from @BreadAhead and coffee from Monmouth. Delicious!
