It’s the last #FursuitFriday of 2024. Good riddance. While a lot of good changes have happened and I did things n went to places I had never been to before, it’s been a really rough road to get here and this summer was a heavy low point in my life. I still have a lot of healing to do. Hopefully 2025 goes better? 🤷

SNERRR. SO MUCH SNERRRRRR.

Actually it's rain now, I think. Snow will probably be gone well before morning.
the funniest thing I've seen all morning is when I typed "linguistic prescriptivists are..." my spellcheck highlighted "prescriptivists" as not-a-word.
THE CALL IS COMING FROM INSIDE THE HOUSE!
So this happened to me today while on a Xmas eve Bushwalk.
I was 6km into a walk and decided to sit down on a rock at the crest of a hill and have a coffee while looking over the valley below, and enjoying the late afternoon sun, soon a Kangaroo comes bounding up from below, getting closer and closer, I'm thinking shit he hasn't seen me. He was about 3 meters away when he did and he craps himself, then launched at me feet first and knocked me backwards, next thing I know he was on top of me kicking and scratching. I threw him off and rolled to get away then he kicked me in the back and sent me flying, I grabbed my daypack and got it between us, which to be honest just pissed him off and he promptly ripped it out of my grasp. I managed to get to a tree a few metres away, while he’s kicking away, then we spent the next 5 minutes with him chasing me around it and me trying to keep it between us, all while he was making a cross between a growl and bark noise while doing the skippy tongue clicking. A couple of times he bounded away and I thought it was over only for him to stop and I swear I could see him thinking “nah stuff that” and he would come hurtling back for another crack at me, eventually he left with a few stops and glances back as if to say “you wants some more mate?”
Here’s the funny bit, when he was on top of me he smashed my clip belt and I was wearing my hiking pants that had lost it’s top button, but I hadn’t got around to sewing it back on, so as I'm running round the tree my pants kept falling down around my ankles and every time I tried to pull them up it gave him an opening to launch another attack, all while the Benny Hill tune was running through my head. All I could think was if he kills me how will this be explained to my family.
Anyway I survived, some long scratches on arms, legs and back, one scratch close to my left eye and three huge bruises on my chest, side and back in the shape of a kangaroos footpad. No broken bones, slight concussion and a 2km hike/limp back to car armed with a big stick, luckily I made it before the adrenaline wore off and the aches and pains showed up, I admit it was terrifying and Those claws are quite scary up close. I have a new found respect and wariness for them now.
Getting pantsed by a kangaroo was not on my Xmas list.
Still not as bad as the year I got shingles for Xmas. 😂
Pique wakes up in the morning directly to the tree, and as the little bunny unwraps his gift, he discovers a shiny new drum set. With no hesitation, Pique starts banging away, creating a chaotic symphony of noise. His dad, with a tender smile and his ears discreetly covered, watches his son, happy to see him happy, worried for the upcoming loud days.
Gift from Rabid Rabbit to Pique.
Merry Christmas!!

If you watch one thing this Christmas. It should be this:-
Me, this morning. I thought I'd try to have a break before I had to get working. #twoFeet

Despite the urge, remember the following are all none of your business to ask about:
Their size, weight, or any other body changes
When they’re going to get a partner
When they’re getting married
When they’re having a baby
Why they’re not drinking
Unless they’ve opened up to you about it first.
>Why they’re not drinking
Everyone claims there's no pressure to drink, but still keep asking that question.
@quad "ah come on, just one drink won't kill you"
"Ooh, why do you have to be so Boring? Everyone drinking."
"Hmm, i couldnt do that, what you're doing"
All stuff i've had to hear. And quite a lot more.
I mean, she's our ride, so if she leaves early we have to leave early... maybe give her half

Just on the off-chance, anyone know of an example of an otherwise-normal public x509 certificate that doesn't have an OCSP responder URI in it? I'd construct one myself, but (a) I'm not sure I can face slogging through writing yet more openssl commands, and (b) I'd like to have one that I didn't create, so I can use it to test something I did create. Don't test your own assumptions against your own assumptions, kids.
Reason: I have a bunch of stuff that manages my web front-end and ensures every HTTPS response has a stapled OCSP response. With Let's Encrypt (and presumably later others) deprecating OCSP and about to stop serving it entirely within a few months, I want to make my management scripts able to recognise OCSP-less certificates and not (a) wasting their time trying to get responses from them, and (b) marking them unusable due to not having a valid OCSP response to staple.
Thank you. :>

The ASD is high lol. You won't get everything off non post quantum algorithms/protocols by 2030.
I mean, moving to post quantum stuff is a good idea but no way will you get everything in use onto it by then.

One of the great things about *knowing* you're autistic is, instead of feeling shame for being "weird", you can just go..
Nah chief, that's how our brain just is, can't do nothing. We autistic AF.

Yep. Every individual is their own separate bag of physics, chemistry and biology and the only reason there are similarities at all is because natural selection needs offspring to be somewhat like their parents in order to meaningfully naturally-select. And too many people think that evolution tries to produce perfection, when the costs/incentives more often produce something that just barely works. There's no such thing, in the real world, as a species — that's just an abstraction to make it more convenient to talk about the common characteristics of a load of individuals. Even "male" and "female" are abstractions.
…Actually, this makes me think of the Man In The Shack. I suspect he might have better insights into this kind of thing.
In the last year, I’ve spent about 200,000 words on a kind of personal journey where I’ve tried again and again to work out why everything digital feels so broken, and why it seems to keep getting worse, despite what tech’s “brightest” minds might pr…Edward Zitron (Ed Zitron's Where's Your Ed At)

Thank you for your post.
A valid point. However, even referring to them as Christian is likely a misnomer.
Peace
