My new laptop needs new stickers. What should I get? If I like it and you want one, I will buy you one as a thank you (you have to provide me your mailing info).

I remembered to bring my sticker album with me to #OSSSummit for trades! I might also still have a few dumpster fire challenge coins left...

The man in the seat in front of me reclined it all the way immediately on takeoff. Into and through my knees. Picture shows where they were before (touching the seat). He then left it reclined for the next six hours. SIX HOURS.

Reminder: be incredibly skeptical of anyone who claims to have an Open Source AI. 2 reasons: 1. There is no definition (yet) for an "Open Source AI", because an AI model is data+ code 2. Even absent a formal definition, nothing with commercial use restrictions is open source.

Hi friends, if you need an invite to Bluesky, DM me, I have one. If I don't know you, you're not getting it, sorry random people.

I'm really excited to announce that our Redis fork both has a new name (Valkey) and was accepted into the Linux foundation, linuxfoundation.org/press/linux-fo…. This has been such an amazing effort by my fellow co-creators of the project and the linux foundation.
