Lawful neutral. Definitely not a cat in a hat. Opinions are of Cthulhu. what/why.
Don't throw away your browser tab when you are done with it, only to reach for a new one! Keep it aside, and reuse it when you need to browse some sites. Just follow these simple steps:
- Open the tab you set aside.
- Activate the address bar (Ctrl+L can do that quickly for you!).
- Delete the content of the address bar, and type the new address, or a search query.
- Hit Enter! Continue with your browsing as if it were a fresh tab!
If you closed a tab by accident, it's not too late! Press Ctrl+Shift+T to restore the most recently closed tab. (Consult your local IT expert for instructions on your specific case, terms and conditions apply).
Be responsible! Recycle tabs! ♲
Nothing good can be called "CrowdStrike".

as a "computers person" i do not know how to solve the problem correctly the first time, what i do have is an endless list of strange tactical maneuvers that might solve a problem and an ability to prioritise them
Am I the only one who often puts the headphones on without any music just because they keep my ears warm?

Almost all blogs put “next page” URLs at /2, /3, … /n. These are *bad URLs*, since they’re constantly changing. Instead, do the following: choose how many posts you want per page (p), as usual. But make an exception for the main page, which waits to hit 2*p posts before dumping p posts to the next page all at once. Now your “next pages” won’t change, so they can have persistent URLs! So, number your URLs in *decreasing* order: /n, /n-1, … /1. As a bonus, “/1” conveniently has your first posts!

got laid off in the big dropbox layoffs today.
if anybody is looking for a staff-level engineer who loves mentoring and who is an expert in web security, email security, TLS/PKI, key and secrets management, and general defense security stuff, please feel free to hit me up.

You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy than geopolitics.
Ok, Reddit 
You’ve just lost your push notifications privileges. Why the fuck would I ever care about this bullshit?! Stupid engagement optimizers.

Accidentally discovered a productivity trick: if you make Wednesday the last day of your vacation, everyone assumes you are still out as you were for the first three days of the week. And you get two undistracted, productive days.

Here you go, folks – the first image from last night's Mercury flyby by BepiColombo, ESA & JAXA's mission to our innermost planet.
The south pole is near the top of the image, right at the terminator between night & day, where there a some craters that never see sunlight & may even hold ice.
This is just a first teaser image – we'll be publishing some very exciting images from the closest part of the flyby later on today 🙂👍
Wouldn't it be cool if YouTube showed "the most skipped" segment in addition to "the most replayed"?
I wish a pointy stick was the only weapon of war humanity ever needed.
I am pretty sure that if we spent all the ingenuity on technology that eliminated the need to compete over scarce resources, we'd already be able to provide a roof, food and comfort to anyone wanting it. Instead we waste time inventing ways of taking from the neighbor. So disappointing.

Didn't think I'd say it, but man do I miss dumb the dump routers of early 2010. Like, this is what I see within 5 minutes of setting up a fancy-ass ASUS router. Am I really supposed to trust my network to that? 
Fucking bloat.
I'd like to think their business-oriented hardware would be better, but something tells me it's programmed by the same dudes.
