Pfft, that’s nothing! My strings is twelvety three


This reminded me of an anecdote from maybe 6 years ago. I was setting up and testing a small network and a couple devices to install for a customer, let’s say the subnet was 192.168.2.0/24.
Weird things were happening, I was being lazy and wasn’t directly connected to the network, may have setup a VPN between devices somewhere; can’t really remember. But pings would sometimes drop or blow out to 100’s ms.
I eventually ended up disconnecting that network entirely, then the pings continued and got more stable?? WTF! I need we didn’t have that subnet in use, even checked before setting it up. In the time between checking and the issues happening, someone in Sydney somewhere had stuffed up on their router and exposed there LAN to the internet without any Firewalls, just available.
Scanned and found all the IPs in use and in them found a printer. Connected to it and printed a page saying I’m from company XYZ and found all these devices available, and to either contact their IT and resolve it ASAP or my company to help. About an hour later it seemed to be resolved.
It was an interesting day.


But, but, splosion make line go up. Splosion good…?

My response to Real Men® statements is “Real men don’t need their masculinity defined by others.”


Yeah, it seems not many people know the last bit. I say it everytime after a slight pause “… oftentimes better than master of one.” And then watch the little look of confusion. Some people will stop and think about it, and comment something like, I guess that’s true, but not as often.
Have you tried turning your phone upside down?


I wish you’d get outta my life and shut up.


Ahh but you see, if the world’s leaders sit idly by for another few years until there aren’t any Palestinian people left, they’ll be able to say “look the genocide has ended, we did it!”. All without having to even lift a finger to write a mildly worded letter.
This first iteration is only capable of identifying serif fonts, still impressive though.


Sure, once, but that… Was a long time ago

But then how would I look at my phone while using my Desktop.
I’ll need a dummy phone to doom scroll on.
This is correct. As a grown arse-man, this is a fantastic movie. Number is great too, and there’s not many movie I am actually looking forward, but the 3rd Incredibles movie makes the cut.
