Spent the day making future food. Kimchi on the left, saukraut on the right and in the middle an experiment combining pickled and Mayak eggs. I should probably be shunned by both cultures for this. Not shown 24h sous vide ham hock, and some cabbage soup which is only a few minutes hence future…

Three jars. Left to right a kilner with dark almost reddish cabbage, a standard screwtop with mirky brown liquid through wich you can just see eggs, and another kilner with quite ordinary looking cabbage.

Put some extra stir fried vegetables into my charred corn chowder to up its 5aday quotient. Not the worst choice I have ever made cooking.

A white bowl filled with a creamy brown liquid. Floating in this is much corn, some carrot, pak choi, and a spoon.

From the beginning of the home computer age there has always been one or two kids at every scholl who knew more about the things than anyone on staff.

Post from Angus McIntyre @angusm@mastodon.social
The UK government's plan to teach 10 million British children how to use VPNs may be one of the most ambitious IT education projects ever launched. Experts have praised the scheme, saying that a deft combination of incentives and peer education make it more likely to succeed than other, comparable initiatives.

"With the rise of autocratic governments worldwide, VPN-literacy is more essential than ever.” said one expert, “This bold project definitely comes at the right time.”

The contents of this graphic is a lie. Actually it is long, overblown process, that is subtly broken on mobile (irony meter looks worried). Also the payment process is arse-about-face and takes 3 times longer than it should.

Today in images found on the internet that I really hope are real…

Screenshot of an email from Limestone Digital
Thanks for taking the time to apply. We're not moving forward, but I want to be specific about why - because generic rejections are useless and you deserve better than "we decided to pursue other candidates."
Three things flagged during review:
1. The cover letter read as Al-generated. We asked for 3 sentences about a hard bug you fixed.
We got four paragraphs about your "holistic approach to software craftsmanship." | stopped reading after "I'm thrilled to bring my innovative mindset to your cutting-edge team."
2. The take-home submission used temp1, temp2, temp3 as variable names with no comments and no tests. The logic worked, but if this is your best-foot-forward code, it raises questions about production work.
3. Our company name was misspelled as "Limeston Digital" - twice, same paragraph — in a cover letter that listed "attention to detail" as a core strength.
None of this is unfixable. If you reapply with something that shows you wrote it and read it before sending, we'll review it again. No cooldown period, no hard feelings.

I am a spiteful little shit not a diplomat or a military strategist but my first response to this would be: "if you don't want to be an active part of NATO any more, you don't get to use bases in Europe" given that as we have seen they are a key part of US force projection.
