Finally got around to messing with cryptocurrencies this week, despite reading the Bitcoin white paper not long after it was published. Here's my 2 cents. This is a pretty revolutionary and cool technology despite its cult-like following and I think it has staying power. The mining process uses a lot of power which some consider waste. What I consider most interesting is that a government's reaction to crytocurrency seems to be good gauge of a given society's freedom. I recommend trying it out.

I don't like conatiners but I should probably learn them before I diss them any more.
If only there was a book or something that just had everything.

oh my god: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07NWT5745

> 1700 pages: holy crap it's basically the Red Hat Bible.
> kindle-only (i.e. DRM)
> 2019 (already outdated im guessing)

and we haven't even hit kubevirt+ovirt yet (hello VMs, everything old is new again), which is probably another 1700 pages of its own.
yeah im sticking to bare metal, no containers/vms if I can help it. It's like learning webdev in $CURRENT_YEAR.

I feel like the challenge isn't learning everything, it's deciding what *not* to learn.

Sooooo, I got a puppy...
I've waited 16 years after my last dog passed away. I named her Sally Jane after my best friend who died when I was 8 years old. She is a chihuahua rat terrier mix. Tiny little girl! I love her so much already!

Taco Bell 

Crispix is better than Chex. A bowl is like a time machine to the 80’s for me.

I just ran across an old picture of a custom order back when my wife had a tack/leather shop.The preacher's daughter was an employee and didn't understand pop culture reference, so my wife showed her the scene and had her make it 😂!

#Fedivision announcement!

The Fedivision Song Contest (#FSC) will accept entries until Friday, 28th midnight CEST, so we have enough time to find collaborators if needed (#FedivisionCollab), come up with beautiful songs for the fictional country or faction you would like to represent.
Also, we won't run into scheduling troubles with this other music contest named #ESC.
\o/
Spread the word, have fun! I'm looking forward to the weekend of the 29th/30th when voting will take place!

DOUZE POINTS!

Just re-watched Bicentennial Man with the Misses and it got so much right! I spent a fair bit of my childhood in the upper part of a movie theatre being an assistant projectionist and, even though the place is torn down now, my love of movies remains. Some movies have this re-watchable quality and power about them and they seem to be able to shape and improve lives. Out of the absolute sea of media that we have today, what movies would you save and consider a benefit to posterity?

A gentle Quaker, hearing a strange noise in his house one night, got up and discovered a burglar busily at work. He went and got his gun, came back and stood quietly in the doorway. “Friend,” he said, “I would do thee no harm for the world, but thou standest where I am about to shoot.”
