This episodes diverges from our traditional fare. I've reviewed the 50 previous editions and picked (IMHO) the coolest code, best prose & my favorite podcast episode from each month!

I used to find tech stuff confusing and intimidating. Now, thanks to Mastodon, I still find it confusing and intimidating, but I also realize it’s SUPER boring, too. Thanks, Mastodon!
True story: my mum worked for the MoD. She was in the kitchen at Sandhurst once and Prince Andrew walked in. Everyone was surprised, no one reacted. He said. 'hm, let's try that again shall we?', then he left the kitchen and walked back in, just to make them all bow properly.
Prick.
Whenever I write a TIL (Today I Learnt) post, it’s because if I don’t, it’ll also be that Today I Forgot (TIF). I’ll still forget, but at least it’s written down somewhere I’ll never look.

Today was "upgrade my personal fleet of Alpine Linux systems to the latest (3.21) release" day 🥳
I upgraded 5 systems in about 30min! It was boring! 🎉
Upgrading to newer releases was always an annoying experience for me on other distros, but the #alpinelinux folks have done an incredible job making this Just Work twice per year, every year. I have a few silly system configs that always seem to survive release upgrades without needing changes, it's really amazing.
@alpinelinux@fosstodon.org crushed it!
The book that @sarna.dev and I co-authored on writing engineering blog posts is now published. And it’s flanked by the best imaginable “bookends”: a foreword by @bcantrill.bsky.social and an afterword by @scott.hanselman.com! Details and Amazon/Manning links at bit.ly/3AVPWn9.

“If she wants to know something specific, but doesn’t want people to notice her asking questions, she should simply make incorrect statements while in the company of experts. Her companions will correct her, especially if they're men.”

As far as manifestos go, this is pretty short and concise.
I think killing people is wrong, especially if it's premeditated, carefully planned, and carried out with cold detachment. There are no heroes in this story as far as I'm concerned; just one killer encountering a killer of a different stripe.
Still, news organizations suppressing this manifesto is a dereliction of duty. So, here you go.
And now, mastodon.social sends referrers!

In every job I've had before, I put in 100% effort, but ended up exhausted after a few months and hating work. Started a new job last year and consciously decided to only put ~50-60% effort from the off. Manager happy, no burnout and I don't hate work. 10/10, would recommend.
not a big fan of murder as a political tool, naturally, but i am a fan of big symbolic gestures, and shooting the CEO of an insurance company with bullets that have 'deny', 'defend', 'depose' written on them is... *respectful whistle*

fuck you if you're going to require me to allow you to remotely wipe my personal phone, what the fuck?
My trick for alt text is I use speech to text and I speak the description like I would describe it to someone over the phone

its so depressing that a man can't manage a system of precarity and excess mortality organized solely for shareholder wealth for 20 very profitable years without occasionally getting shot to death at 6:45am in midtown new york by a person dressed in a hooded jacket. what has become of this country?
