Aiden is a sophomore at Bolingbrook High School! He made the JV1 soccer team this year, and he and his teammates are fundraising to support their season. Some of you have already donated - thank you! For those who haven’t, consider this your peer pressure. 😂⚽ raise-365.com/ft/ou6d-rrgo...

This is the sign of a good vacation. Learning new things, new experiences, seeking discomfort are all transformational to being human.

Please note most federal grants *required* information on how the grants would benefit underserved or understudied groups. If you applied for a grant, you *had to* include something that would speak to diversity and equity.

Let how exhausted I look here give you a window into how hard mutual aid organizers have been pushing to keep our neighbors safe and housed when no one else will. Please write to your councilmembers and the mayor and urge them to pass Pause Evictions, Save Lives!

Hard agree, spice adds a different dimension! My family has differing levels of tolerance so we keep spice dusts and sauces convenient as condiments on the table. Homemade Prik Nam Pla or Chili Crisp go well on literally everything from eggs, pizza, to ice cream! (trust me)

Bob Florian @bobflorian.bsky.social · 07/02/2026

Yes, I enjoy the experience, not always the taste. I've bought and done the Hot Ones sauce lineup, and it was tough, but a fun party trick to share with others. Growing really spicy peppers to ferment and make sauce is a good learning path too

Bob Florian @bobflorian.bsky.social · 05/02/2026

I've gone down this same path, and it's wonderful. I have several hundred thousand lines of code in production now developed this way (python). and a lot more in ideation!

HOLY FUCKING SHIT I AM IN THE FUCKING EPSTEIN FILES Specifically, my essay "Straight White Male: The Lowest Difficulty Setting" is referenced in a 2013 Rachel Sklar article about Muriel Siebert. Why is it in the Epstein files at all? You got me. What a wild fucking discovery. I am literally agog.

Variation on the XKCD 2347 graphic of software building on each other, showing very unstable tower, featuring sharks biting undewater cables, unpaid opensource developers, AWS, Cloudflare, AI, Microsoft, left-pad, v8, WASM and it is all almost falling apart, but not actually.

There's a cool place like this in Kentucky, US ; they have zip lines (some in completely darkness which is amazing), rope course, bmx trails. A while ago they used to host an "underground 5k" which was awesome, but I don't think they do it anymore

Today's a fantastic day to make no configuration changes to your production environments. If something goes wonky, you'll go mad trying to figure out if it's the AWS issue (possibly reflected through a vendor of yours who uses them) vs. your own shitty, shitty code.

The President of the United States is threatening to go to war with an American city. This is not a joke. This is not normal. Donald Trump isn't a strongman, he's a scared man. Illinois won’t be intimidated by a wannabe dictator.

Depending on your network setup, you can run it on various devices (Pi not always needed!). I'm running it on my Ubiquiti Router directly as a docker container.

Bob Florian @bobflorian.bsky.social · 20/07/2025

PiHole is a fun thing to tinker with instead, and arguably better for your network since it does every device for you with monitoring. Not for everyone though, kind of technical.

I run a tech CMS site for non profits that has to offer conference apps as part of our services and wholly agree with this sentiment. The stigma from leadership and boards is that they feel left behind or not technical enough that demands they always have an app to be modern for their users.

Anytime someone talks about the Epstein Files and says something like "think of all the Democrats it's going to expose too" I'm like "fuck yes, expose ALL of those pedos, prosecute them, and get them out of positions where they can victimize others." This is the only acceptable position.
