Howls relentlessly at the moon.

Fireworks are damned expensive. We didn’t buy any this year because I’m not about to spend $200 to shoot off five fountains.

Those who say, “I love God,” and hate a brother or sister are liars, for those who do not love a brother or sister, whom they have seen, cannot love God, whom they have not seen.

1 John 4:20

That is absolutely glorious.

I have a rule that “Nothing will be automated that cannot be manually overridden.”

Well, actually it’s my wife’s rule but it’s a good rule nonetheless. As a result, there’s a big panel full of relays in the basement that is the “last mile” for anything climate control or security related.

There have been a few times when it’s been handy. Like when the exhaust fan isn’t working and I don’t want to debug the ESP32 controller today so I just flip it over to “Manual”.

Scratch the beer and the vape, add a single malt scotch, and take my money.

Honestly, you knew it was a child’s birthday party and yet you didn’t bring enough to share? That was pretty inconsiderate.

Highly location dependent. We have useable cell service in our house but Internet over 5G is slow.

Corporate America over here committing piracy en masse.

In my neighborhood you get a choice between coax or nothing.

But seriously, it’s a naive person who doesn’t understand that every single day, somewhere in the world, the most horrible shit you can imagine is going down at any given moment. That’s just a fact. Our job is to help when we can and deal with it when we can’t. One of the way we have or dealing with it when we can’t is through humor and there’s not a damned thing wrong with that.

And Hamas.

The actual question I’m reading from this is “are components that I build myself more secure than those provided by a third party library?”

You should correct me if that’s not what your asking.

The short answer is “probably not.” You can and will introduce bugs and vulnerabilities into your own software.

The main downsides of third party libraries are that they can have dependencies that you may not know about and vulnerabilities in third party libraries mean that a given vulnerability is just as widespread as a the library that it exists in.

Most “bad actors” are opportunists so a specific vulnerability being wide spread tends to work in their favor by increasing opportunities.

That said, I wouldn’t waste your time rewriting functionality that already exists in other libraries unless you have a very compelling reason for it.

High school/college grads during the great recession:

“First time?”

being exposed to too much AC

“AC” as in Air Conditioning??

My wife can spend all day in the sun and turn a nice shade of brown.

Not me. There is no “tan” for me. It’s either pasty white or lobster with no middle ground whatsoever.

“Well it’s not MY fault they shot some Vietnamese kid in the face and now have nightmares and a paralyzing fear of fireworks. Guess they should have thought about that before getting drafted.”

I’m fine with blatant corruption and flagrant violations of the law but I draw the line at saying “fuck”.
