be the cat you wish to see in the world

this rings eerily familiar; one of my servers (from before i got my hands on actual servers) is ancient HP laptop which was already the lowest of the low end when i got it 12 years ago. i still have yet to get around to moving the last few tiny things off of it, so it's just sitting there chugging along (with no fan) running a version of Ubuntu Server which stopped getting updates a few years ago. still works though ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

this is either uptime porn or uptime gore

d'aww, it's two cuties :3

give your little fluffball some headscratches from me!

there is never enough time, and then when there is time there always seem to be more interesting things to take care of first :/

i've been putting off "figure out how the hell i'm gonna deal with backing all this shit up" for like 5 years now and it just keeps becoming more and more daunting since all that gosh darn data just won't stop increasing

cutie :3
congrats on the new gf!

my thesis is due in two days and i have so much more work to do, been running on empty all week (only pulled through so far thanks to copious amounts of sugar and adhd meds) and don't think i'm gonna manage to find any time for sleep within the next 48h... aaaaaaaaaaa

if they are unaware of, or able to ignore, the fact that their decisions affect real people's livelihoods, that makes them ideal candidates for HR positions. the entire purpose of HR is to protect the company, not its employees.

weather around here (central switzerland) is normally pretty mild, but a few years ago there was this extremely localized burst of intense hail that went through my town. the hailstones were maybe 7cm across, on my entire street every single solar panel/skylight/south-facing window without overhang/car windshield was completely smashed to bits. nearer the village center the hail wasn't as big, but there was so much of it that there was a mountain of hail sitting outside the train station for a week in midsummer heat.

they were roommates

scoliosis :3

agreed, any larger article of latex with closed feet (or hands) is quite awkward to move around in, especially long-term since both the dressing aid and your own sweat will start pooling at the bottom so your feet start sliding around inside if you try to put any weight on them.

i'm sure there are other techniques, but after much trial and error the best strategy i've found is simply to not get things with closed feet. all my latex stockings/leggings/catsuits have foot stirrups, so there's still some material which goes around the foot to keep it pulled tight, while any liquids can harmlessly leak out. bonus technique: you can wear ankle-high socks (made from chlorinated latex, so you don't need lube) and then put the stockings or whatever on over top of it. that way you still get the same "fully enclosed" sensation without anywhere near as much slipperiness, any liquids can be drained out with significantly less effort, and if the sock gets ripped by your toenails or whatever you don't have to replace your expensive stockings entirely :)
