#BlackLivesMatter
In no particular order, I wanna give a huge shoutout and thanks to @FirstProgenitor, @heyheather, and @Marbles for these commissions of the lost Linux Fox mascot! (pictures are in order of credit and have alt text)
I think they came out awesome, and I'm really glad they all reached out to me!!

"Dark Lego, show me the forbidden connection techniques":
http://bramlambrecht.com/tmp/jamieberard-brickstress-bf06.pdf
a leaked PDF of a Lego internal corporate document describing "illegal" connections that must not be used in official kit-building instructions
Much has been written on the analogy between lego connections and programming language syntax; that would make this illegal connection PDF the equivalent of, like, undocumented compiler features or something.
decided to make an iced americano this morning to combat this little heat wave we're having ☕ ❄️

STAFFcirc remixes a bunch of Windows sample MIDI songs!

current plan is: new switch on the way + openwrt. the att router will be attached to the third nic on my server and get auth packets forwarded to it. bye bye double NAT
I tried pfSense but it turns out there's no solutions to forward auth packets to the att router that work with freebsd. that and my cisco router for not take well to becoming a switch
so naturally I've been messing around with the setup. I've got a server that happens to have four gigabit nics so the plan is to have that be the router
thanks to AT&T our network is in a double NAT 😕 they require their router to be connected for authentication and our current cisco router sits behind that
