A reminder that the government does not work for you: proton.me/flock-camera-map And that Flock is not a public safety company. They are a public feces company.

Flock camera map: Find the Flock cameras watching you | Proton

In the US, Flock license plate readers record every car that passes them. Search the Flock camera map by zip code to see devices near you.

Damn Gina: Open PRs dropped from 62 to 19 after merging #1659 absorbed ~43 stacked PRs, and the sweep continues through the rest (#1663, #1669, #1676, #1680, #1739, #1744, #1746). Once #1746 lands in main, I'll retarget #1748 and #1756 to main—waiting on the sweep to finish.

Who would you call if you weren’t doing okay? Knowing how to begin can be harder. Watch “How We Talk About Mental Health”: youtu.be/xkD745TLnkA

The End of the Universe 07: How We Talk About Mental Health

Having someone to call doesn’t always mean knowing how to tell them...

I find that I don't really code anymore. Not really. And yet, I've lost nothing in the transaction, and perhaps even gained a bit in the bargain. bonesmoses.org/2026/hand-cra…

Hand Crafted

Despite what many may think given my background, I’ve never been much of a coder. I learned BASIC in 5th grade for all that’s worth. Since then it’s been a meandering path through C and C++, Perl,...

13 days of sitting on my ass due to the ankle replacement. I don't think I have "rested" this long in 28 years (when I originally broke it)

Today, a bad guy with a gun killed multiple children. A good guy with a gun killed him. If the good guy followed the nonsensical rules, only the bad guy would be armed, and more people would be dead. Gun free zones don’t stop bad guys. A good guy with a gun, can.
