I should say not ME specifically, but pedestrians in general. Like I have no idea what the heck they are expecting. I just worry someone will end up getting hurt.

I really wish parents around here would teach their kids that when on a sidewalk with an electric scooter or bicycle to at least slow down and/or go around me when walking Korb. Every time, they just charge at us at speed and have to stop them. Korb does not like it when they do that at all.

I forgot that I'm an adult and have a deep frier, and can make mozzarella sticks of my own any time I want to. I'm making mozzarella sticks tonight, dammit. Can't believe I hadn't done this yet..

Haven't posted this yet, been too crazy busy with crap.. But got a wonderful commission from @remywolf.bsky.social fairly recently! Of course it must contain paws, among other things!

Zelus von Lila @german-shepherd.net · 10/09/2026

At least I know now it was stupid and everything is fine.. The biggest 'gripe' is the fact that I apologize too much for bothering people that need to be bothered in high-priority cases where it's very much warranted. My first words were, "I'm sorry.." x.x

Had my annual review today, something I always worry about for some reason. It's been a stressful year for sure, and with all the new challenges and trying to keep up, I feel as though I've been failing.

Zelus von Lila @german-shepherd.net · 07/09/2026

The side effects are not pleasant right now, and I'm just sitting in a state of just.. blank. I know it'll take time. This is why I've been quiet for a while now, so please have some patience with me.

The past year, and especially the past few weeks, I've been in not a great place mentally. I've been waiting months to see a psych and finally did on Thursday. They put me on a med that I've previous tried long ago, but they want me to start from scratch.

"What directory are the files being sent to on the vendor site? They need to know this for their migration." Watching as he screenshares and shows the logs I send to them every time a file is transferred, with the directory RIGHT THERE and he even points out! Just.. wha?? I'm tired, boss.

Zelus von Lila @german-shepherd.net · 02/09/2026

But what I see, is all these different orgs all doing different methods of mitigation without actually looking to see what other threads, apps or other businesses it impacts is now starting to cause major issues and breaking other things. This is the new norm. -.-

Zelus von Lila @german-shepherd.net · 02/09/2026

Security and keeping things up to date is a very noble and necessary thing, especially in this post-AI IT landscape with new exploits being released into the wild quicker than any time in history by at least an order of magnitude.

110

Zelus von Lila @german-shepherd.net · 01/09/2026

Now a security update fubar'd email so I can't issue shit as the clock keeps ticking.. Waiting for a P1 hotfix from vendor on our appliances. The past two weeks have just been absolute dogshit, non-stop pressure. -.-

Zelus von Lila @german-shepherd.net · 01/09/2026

My fuggin' DOG. Can I just get a round of wildcards updated already??! First spending 2 weeks planning how to do this manual rotation until we get automation in place. Then CAA issues in every fuggin' domain/SAN due to needing international checks from geoblocked places..

I highly recommend the sex museum! And I don't remember the name of it, but there's also a very interesting kink shop around there too..

Zelus von Lila @german-shepherd.net · 29/08/2026

Apologize if I've been kinda quiet lately. I love doing what I do for a living, but also will say working in critical systems, pressure can very much be a thing. Still dealing with a situation on a now short clock, and if it doesn't get resolved soon, lets just say is keeping me up at night. -.-

Zelus von Lila @german-shepherd.net · 25/08/2026

Learned after meeting with rep today it didn't start because the project order piece wasn't filled out, due to the AI recording being disabled. "WHAT THE HELL ARE WE PAYING FOR?" is what I scream internally. I really am starting to hate this future.

020

Zelus von Lila @german-shepherd.net · 25/08/2026

It's been a day. I love the vendor call we had last week where we told them to turn of AI recording, as our security policy doesn't allow that. Waiting to work with their professional services to automate this whole project, but have been waiting on a date to start.

Zelus von Lila @german-shepherd.net · 25/08/2026

2nd ticket in a month where a high-profile person does the absolute minimum of logging into a web portal, and instantly opens a priority ticket because things "aren't working". Instead of yaknow, using your fuggin' brain and clicking on the glowing folder "SHARED WITH ME". Goddamn..

NOOOO.. Not Dolly.. Not yet.. :(

I have it on emulator, but it just doesn't hit the same without the buttons, wheel and pedal.. Was happy to complete SmashTV though on it though even without the joysticks, as jeezus I don't even know how many credits were popped in. At least $50 worth.. :D

Zelus von Lila @german-shepherd.net · 23/08/2026

This was a staple at almost any arcade/bowling alley I would frequent.. Hearing the intro music now.. I loved that game, but dang it was hard. You also had to ram/shoot the criminals vehicle to get to the confession part, along with all the citation quotas, donuts.. It was actually a lot of fun.

Zelus von Lila @german-shepherd.net · 21/08/2026

After seeing this today, I just was like.. I need this. And just like our Star Trek booze collection, I very badly want a whole set of all the Nuka flavours. Would muchly need a lighted base, but damn it'd be awesome. This better glow! www.jonessoda.com/products/jon...

Not sure why, but husburb made a post earlier today that somehow went hot.. But it didn't show up in my TL at all after multiple refreshes and cache clears. Even showed the TL to him and we're just buh? He mentioned it coming home, and I'm like, "What post?". Sure enough, it's just not showing.

Zelus von Lila @german-shepherd.net · 21/08/2026

Ah nothin' to be sorry or shy about, I'm pretty much the same way online these days. Very good with the art of the lurk! Got some similar interests, and more than welcome to ever drop a hello! Just may be slow to respond! :D

Zelus von Lila @german-shepherd.net · 19/08/2026

Today he stood there doing his sniffin's, and I'm noticing a few flying things around me, nothing unusual normally. Glancing right less than 3' from my face is a GIANT hornets nest. I nearly shat myself and moved as slowfast outta there.

Zelus von Lila @german-shepherd.net · 19/08/2026

Also, I have no idea how I made it through without incident on our afternoon walk either today, it's been a strange one.. There's a tree a few houses down that's on city property (drainage creek easement) I typically walk past and Korb likes to do his thing.

100

Zelus von Lila @german-shepherd.net · 19/08/2026

On the way back, it actually started walking TOWARDS us multiple times and didn't respond to trying to scare it off. Just acted in defiance so went around em'. Kept following us back to the house at a distance, but damn, never seen that before here.

110

Zelus von Lila @german-shepherd.net · 19/08/2026

In over 12 years of living here, I've seen all kinds of fauna around the area. Tonight on taking Korb out was the first time I've seen, and been stalked by a pair of foxes. Separated by half a block, the 'lead' one just kept following us.

Woah! I got that shirt too! :D

I just got TLS rugpulled today on my home router VPN, that I'm about to do to all SSH/TLS connections I'm gonna be doing at work to everyone next week. At least it was a simple (and final-supported) firmware update I was lazy about. I really need to get my rack up and running, stupid brainfreeze..

Zelus von Lila @german-shepherd.net · 13/08/2026

Been just a craptastic week of stuff so far with planning. Anniversary cabin that I was looking forward to got cancelled. Electrician ghosted me waiting since 2pm for estimate 20A circuits. Work, security and the election this week.. Some reason made chili tonight that came out awesome at least!

010

Zelus von Lila @german-shepherd.net · 12/08/2026

I will say the primary results tonight are both surprising, and not at the same time. No matter who wins for the run in Nov, it's still a very easy choice.

000

Zelus von Lila @german-shepherd.net · 10/08/2026

Guess I'll do it myself, just is very specific. Replacing all the fans and may as well refresh the 3090. At least I have the EVGA specs for pad sizes (3 different!) Also got a new bigger case (Y70), new fans, & updated AIO cooler.

Zelus von Lila @german-shepherd.net · 10/08/2026

Actually am a little surprised local residential PC repair places haven't started offering cleaning/repasting/repadding of video cards given their value. I've hit up around 5 known places around Madison, and all were not doing them. One even asked me if others were!

Zelus von Lila @german-shepherd.net · 08/08/2026

I misspelled a word on an official email that went out to over 15k users. I have no idea how I didn't catch it, nor how it didn't get flagged in any of the apps I used to compose/send it. I feel like I committed a mortal sin. -.-

Gotta wish the @skyyhusky.bsky.social a Happy Birthday with a good steppy! Happy Birthday lil' bro! Art by @rooc.bsky.social !

Apparently, he had not. Even I was shocked. Those things were fuggin' everywhere where I grew up, and I'm not even from the South.

Zelus von Lila @german-shepherd.net · 03/08/2026

I got included in an email chain with one of them where they're showing the expected dataset as X number of characters in the code. I instantly flashed back to 10th Grade the moment I saw "PIC X(49)" Was not expected to see COBOL as part of this kind of transfer.

000

Zelus von Lila @german-shepherd.net · 03/08/2026

In what I do, I make it a point to only have basic knowledge of the data I manage and transfer. I don't really care that your process does all these things. I just care about getting the data from A -> B as securely as possible.

Zelus von Lila @german-shepherd.net · 31/07/2026

Got another arts! This time from the outstandingly awesome artist, @tatujapa.bsky.social ! ( www.furaffinity.net/user/tatujapa/ ) Sometimes, one has those needs to be bred and filled.. Can't say I don't enjoy bottoming at all! Is nice being versatile!

I'm getting to be pretty alright at the damn game, and even won a few first level decks now. Then I get to yellow, and every time I get in the groove, it'll throw a curveball to bone me. Here, it's like.. "You think you're cute with your build, well, FUCK YOU then!" (Face card stack build)

After watching a SGDQ run of Balatro, and putting it off forever decided to try it out finally. 4 hours later, I have made a grave error. It really is addicting. -.-

Zelus von Lila @german-shepherd.net · 18/07/2026

Wow, I actually was on the receiving end of an Amazon lottery shipment instead of getting an open box or something.. Of course not something crazy, but was rather surprised to have 16 nozzles AND hose for the Gecko's cage instead of the 4 nozzles I ordered.
