  • I’m not much of wine drinker myself, but I once did a chef menu with the wine pairing. Every two dishes, they’d bring out a new glass of wine. It was kind blowing how the would taste one way with the first dish and a completely different way with the second dish. I’m not sure I can tell the difference between a $12 bottle and $40 bottle, but in that one meal i understood two things: first, if you know what your doing, wine and food pairings can be magical and, second, I don’t know what I’m doing.











  • This article has a hard paywall, so I found another source.

    According to this article it seems the impact was limited because it only effected the most recent Debian server release. So the issue was limited, discovered quickly, and easily fixed.

    The recent windows issues was extensive for all windows machines, discovered after massive outages, and difficult to fix.

    I’m not sure this is a win for Linux, but there a number of decisions that CrowdStrike made that failed to live up to the trust issue by WHQL certification.

    I think that this didn’t have the same extent for Linux is pure luck.







  • Talk to him straight without being cruel. Below is an example and not a script.

    “Hey, I really appreciate you and our friendship. G/f and I are happy to be your friend. We also happy together. Please be respectful of that. I really hope we can continue growing our friendship.”

    He’ll be embarrassed. You can choose the level of connection and space to hold after that. Immediate disconnection will feel awkward for him. But so will holding space. Only in holding space can he even begin to remember that being friends with you is a safe place.

    Its not easy to reach out to a friend with low self esteem. But its something they crave for.
