Dave Hall 🌻 @skwashd.wtf · 03/10/2026Money in the late 80s was crazy. I remember my parents mortgage was capped by the federal government at low double digits. 000
Dave Hall 🌻 @skwashd.wtf · 03/10/2026Yup. That’s a good thing. For a lot of my systems sessions are hard capped at an hour. 000

Dave Hall 🌻 @skwashd.wtf · 24/09/2026Has anyone noticed that’s it’s no longer the sophisticated state actors doing all the hacking? It’s always AI. Maybe, just maybe, none of this was ever very hard. Could it be organisations have always been bad at security? 1197

Dave Hall 🌻 @skwashd.wtf · 19/09/2026Everyone should be very careful using an LLM while sitting on the toilet. 130
Dave Hall 🌻 @skwashd.wtf · 13/09/2026Don’t forget “GA” models that require you to contact sales only be told GFY. 000
Dave Hall 🌻 @skwashd.wtf · 12/09/2026Doesn’t that load up the context window with the full session? Wouldn’t /resume do the same thing? I prefer to use @mattpocock.com’s handoff skill and use that as the starting point. Am I missing something? 100
Dave Hall 🌻 @skwashd.wtf · 12/09/2026With 0% of the votes counted this race is too close to call. We’re not seeing a clear winner emerge. It could be a long night ahead. 000
Dave Hall 🌻 @skwashd.wtf · 12/09/2026If you haven’t been hacked by an agent swarm, do you really operate a load bearing component in the modern software stack? 032
Dave Hall 🌻 @skwashd.wtf · 12/09/2026I’ll check it out. Your post made realise the 80s Australia business world was pretty dodgy, but it’s nothing compared to 2020s America. 000
Dave Hall 🌻 @skwashd.wtf · 11/09/2026I don’t like the majors, but IGA in Castlemaine abused their monopoly to rip the town off for decades. When we lived in Newstead it was cheaper to drive to Scarybrough for the weekly shop, even after accounting for the petrol and extra time. 010
Dave Hall 🌻 @skwashd.wtf · 11/09/2026Let's see in a few years. A bunch of those who opposed the Woolies in Castlemaine now do their weekly shop there. 111
Dave Hall 🌻 @skwashd.wtf · 10/09/2026All of a sudden Matt Mullenweg has a whole lot of free time.

Dave Hall 🌻 @skwashd.wtf · 09/09/2026Interface endpoints, NAT Gateways and Firewall give you great security, at a massive cost. I get that Jeff likes his rockets, but should us doing things properly fund that? 010
Dave Hall 🌻 @skwashd.wtf · 01/09/2026Woman from my bank asks if I want to learn more about the new credit card interest rates coming next month. I decline and say it is a cash grab for shareholders. Some how that’s now a formal complaint with the bank about them being greedy bastards. I look forward to a boilerplate response in 6 weeks 000
Dave Hall 🌻 @skwashd.wtf · 31/08/2026Good luck if you’re using the bucket to server web content. There are companies that maintain lists of buckets used on the web. You delete it, their script will grab it. I know about this from experience. 000

Dave Hall 🌻 @skwashd.wtf · 29/08/2026The joys of travel. I don’t know what it is about me, but every second trip some bloke at the airport wants to fondle my nuts. 030
Dave Hall 🌻 @skwashd.wtf · 28/08/2026If you’re lucky the TSA take you to special little room where you can give them a while presentation on what’s in your bag and how it works. 110
Dave Hall 🌻 @skwashd.wtf · 27/08/2026In 2026 posting malware on GitHub is considered “sophisticated cybercrime”? 001
Dave Hall 🌻 @skwashd.wtf · 25/08/2026Reminds me of this Bill Gates quote: “Most people overestimate what they can do in one year and underestimate what they can do in ten years” 010
Dave Hall 🌻 @skwashd.wtf · 25/08/2026Aren’t we supposed to be calling it North North Dakota or something now? 110
Dave Hall 🌻 @skwashd.wtf · 23/08/2026I’ll make a note to try it when I go to China later this year. 110
Dave Hall 🌻 @skwashd.wtf · 21/08/2026I haven’t been there this decade, but last time I was there it was one of the saddest Myers I’ve ever seen. Ballarat is pretty crap too. Unlike Bendigo their last reno was done in the 90s, not the 80s. 011
Dave Hall 🌻 @skwashd.wtf · 21/08/2026Bring MECCA, renovate Myer, modernise a few more shops, close the road again, get a nice restaurant or cafe and you have a great space. 110
Dave Hall 🌻 @skwashd.wtf · 21/08/2026I try to avoid sitting by a road. I don’t want the noise and fumes. They need more retail that connects with Hargreaves Street. Not a huge glass shopfront and a tiny door. Look at the Bourke Street mall. All those shops invite you in. Council should offer rates concessions for improvements. 132
