I think it might finally be time for me to migrate my old TrueCrypt disk encryption drives to a new solution. Anyone got experience with Veracrypt? #TrueCrypt #VeraCrypt #DiskEncryption #IT #Technology

Holy moly. My new intern that joined our team to help us with a laptop deployment project has already deployed 34 laptops in her first 4 days. Wow. I've been in IT for over 25 years, it's been a while since I've been this impressed with a new hire.

I had to share these today because @spottedgiraffe.bsky.social just posted this Lower Decks cosplay she rocked at STLV in 2023. Our first real hang, I think? Awww 🫶🏻 @bradd.bsky.social was so thrilled to see her dressed as Invicta that he wanted her to rough him up! 😂

Ugh. I had my bi-weekly status update with my CFO and at the end of the meeting when I stood up, my ankle gave out and twisted sideways and I fell to the floor knocking over both his desk chairs. Now I can barely put weight on my ankle. Damn does my ankle hurt.

Tired of the Prompt Thieves in the Al art community.
Seriously, the moment a great prompt is public, someone immediately copies it, shares it, and pretends it's their own genius work.
It's not about gatekeeping, it's about
giving credit where it's due. Stop stealing and start creating! #PromptStealer 1/2

When I used to be the Friday resident DJ at Luna Night Club in Royal Oak Michigan back in the mid 2000's, I would play Prodigy Firestarter, pack my dance floor, and one of our bartenders would blow fire. Epic memories. Now I'm just a boring Director of IT.

As the parent of a type-I diabetic, I would like to invite the ignorant piece of shit currently directing the FDA to kiss my ass.

“Maybe we need to treat more diabetes with cooking classes, not just throwing insulin at people,” FDA Commissioner Marty Makary said on Fox News’ Sunday Futures. “You know, scientists have been waving the flag for years, saying you’ve got to look at this body of scientific data, and the modern medical establishment really has been disconnected.”
