Why does the SSH keygen not play cool chiptune music?

My problem. Is that I have the capacity to write my own open source replacement for any one single software program that goes bad. But if all the software goes bad at the same time. I do not have the capacity to rewrite all of them.

𓀨 he is making a computer chip
𓂐 bad airplane pilot
𓃰 elephant!!!
𓇰 robot gripper!
𓇴 snake attempting to steal a cymbal
𓈝 television!
𓈲 how are they balancing all that?
𓉪 the snakes have eaten the transistor.
𓋲 swingset!!
𓎃 bowling pin
𓎚 WRENCH!!!
𓏞 traffic light!

Many of you

I am austistic and my special interest is shopliiting. But unfortunately, we live in an ableist society where this is frowned upon. :(

observation. in programming / computing, there’s a hundred people who want to tell you that You’re Doing It Wrong even before you started, especially if you’re young (or glob forbid, queer!)

in videography (which I’m enjoying right now) you can show others an absolutely unhinged setup that looks like it may fall apart at any moment, and they’ll still be like “oh gosh, this is cool!”

i think that we, as IT people, have a lot to learn in not speaking up unless you have something nice to say

a very gaudy infographic using lots of Comic Sans and neon colours, titled “Trip Report: Ninji at Eurofurence 30” - 40 card transactions (averaging 15,24€), including 2€ for public bathrooms - 14 hot chocolates (2 on most days, 1 on Tuesday and Monday, 4 on Thursday) - nobody mentioned Animal Crossing to me (I’m finally free) - times I used my laptop after carting it to Germany: Zero - good dogs spotted: too many to count - panels attended: 1 (Fediverse meetup) - 37 rides on Voi vehicles, totalling 215 minutes (35 on e-bikes, 2 on scooters) - Snooze Stats: shortest sleep 3h42m (Monday AM), longest sleep 6h47m (Wednesday AM), average sleep 5h6m - a screenshot of my sleep stats shows that I went to bed around 4am most nights, except Sunday AM where I went to bed after 5am

I love hanging out and drawing with friends because it produces absolutely unhinged things like this:

Garfield (the cat), but with a *ahem* well endowed human body. She's leaning on a table next to a plate of lasagna, making eye contact with the camera, and saying "The only thing I love more than lasagna is my T4T polycule!" She's wearing a collar and a particularly low cut tank top with some pins on it: a trans flag, a lesbian pride flag pin with a piece of lasagna in the middle of it and text that says "les / agna", a doodle of Hatsune Miku, and a pride flag made of colors picked from a photograph of lasagna.

Cyclical bisexual who is constantly monitoring her own Kinsey number, and dyes her hair blue when she's feeling it for women and brown on months she's interested in men

but here i am, with asbestos in my walls, in my car brakes, in my oven gloves. i'm not comfortable with it, but the utility is just too great for me to take a principled stance here. i like it, and i want it, so i'm using it. maybe that's morally questionable, or worse. but, as i said: here i am

But here I am, with a Claude Max 5x subscription for the past year and a half. I’m not comfortable with it, but the utility is just too great for me to take a principled stance here. I like it, and I want it, so I’m using it. Maybe that’s morally questionable, or worse. But, as I said: here I am.
