๐ The International Pajeet: The World's Penultimate Problem.
A treatise.
My Standing: A consulting programmer / software engineer for >20 years. I have many colleagues in IT from programmers, architects, network engineers, directors, recruiters, etc...

Now is it the case that people doctor-up, lie, or fabricate parts of their resume?
Yes, it has happened since the invention of the resume. But pajeets do it more frequently than most.
But it is worse.

We used Ivanti ( Pulse Secure ) for years along with Cisco for VPN/Web portal tasks. Ivanti had one zero day after another, but it was very popular with some executives so it was kept around. It had some advantages over cisco anyconnect and I preferred it until it was obvious that it was a bad product that we shouldn't use. And Anyconnect got better, some.

source: was Eagle Scout, knew the DeMolay kids (some were in both), and they were goofy "patriotic 'Mericans"--they'd be dented skull MAGA kids today, just as their dads were goofy beta beergut MAGA tough-talker types. One kid had a dad that was a Freemason (their Charter... leader?--whatever it's called). None of the kids except that kid went onward to join Freemasonry. I'm saying Massie could be like those kids. They do try to get everyone ๐ฉ
I'm not dismissing it as a nothingburger, but a "Senior DeMolay" is nearly akin to saying "Eagle Scout." The oldest you're allowed to be in DeMolay is 18-21 (depending on the state) and then you're out. They use DeMolay like Scouts in some areas. Each chapter IS led by a Freemason (not good), but I'd say Scouts are just as bad of a fraternity *of kids* as DeMolay (but not as bad as Freemasonry, the adult fraternity).
If he did move up and joined Freemasonry, instead of staying at the "kiddie table" as essentially a Scoutleader (he could have been 19 and stayed for a few months, and DeMolay would post this for clout, like universities do for their famous), then yeah a brow raised is very reasonable.
(I don't see a political solution anyway, so I'm not rooting for Massie as some workable angle or needing protection. I just like when he pisses them off, so I'd like him to stay in Congress for that reason alone ๐)

CONGRATULATIONS AMERICA! The June Border Statistics are in and, once again, they are the LOWEST RECORDED NUMBERS IN UNITED STATES HISTORY. The U.S. Border Patrol reported ZERO releases of Illegal Aliens into the Country. In addition, Customs and Border Protection only had 25,243 โNationwide Encountersโ throughout the entire month, which is absolutely STAGGERING, considering the Biden Administration was โencounteringโ tens of thousands of people every single DAY. Americaโs Borders are Safe and Secure, and the entire World knows it. All we need to do is keep it this way, which is exactly why Republicans need to pass โTHE ONE, BIG, BEAUTIFUL BILL.โ We still have Radical Left Judges trying to open the Border, and defy the Supreme Court, which is why Republicans must be smart, strong, and never let these Crazed Judges turn us into a Third World Country. The Men and Women of Border Patrol, ICE, and CBP are doing an amazing job but, they need more help and, they are counting on Republicans to, GET IT DONE!
Picked some cherry tomatoes from the community garden.
Thinking of what Thich Nhat Hahn said about a flower. You can see the sunlight, the soil, the cloud, the insects - all within this cherry tomato. You can see the people and the librarians that maintain the seed library from which the seeds came from and the harvested seeds will go back to. You can see the folks that will eat it and live another day. You can see the people that those folks can help by their actions after being fueled by these tomatoes.

Very rich of @KathyHochul to criticize Republicans for stopping taxpayer funded healthcare for illegals when her corrupt CDPAP overhaul just stripped Medicaid home healthcare from 100,000 New Yorkers in a rigged bidding process.

(as personally meaningful as it was for me to experience the Cubs winning the 2016 world series) I absolutely hate this fucking timeline, must keep trusting (& working for) it being the last gasp of kyriarchy before we usher in the next chapter of better things, may it come speedily and in our days.
(the Cubs thing was a joke, sort of, don't say you don't also secretly believe it opened the gate to Hellmouth) There's a quote many of us know from Ursula K. Le Guin (about the divine right of kings) that feels really apt to me these days. I'll share it below in a sec.
I will note that what people do not always know is that she gave that speech accepting The National Book Foundation Medal for Distinguished Contribution to American Letters. And that it was part of a larger callout to the book industry. This matters. I'm going to make a point in a second.
So, the quote-- Think about where we are in history. โWe live in capitalism. Its power seems inescapable. So did the divine right of kings. Any human power can be resisted and changed by human beings. Resistance and change often begin in art, and very often in our art, the art of words.โ
The divine right of kings ended because human beings did things. In a bunch of places. Because things got so bad that that's what had to happen. How that happened, how that change happened, went differently in different places. There's not one answer.
(OK,a lot of monarchies ended via bloody revolution.) But we also have data on some things now that might be useful. Just saying: What is now is not what must be. And we can be the people that bring that into being. I don't know what the next chapter is, but we could be the ones to make it up.
We could be the people to bring into being the next chapter of whatever happens, which could be better than the one in which we are currently. This is possible. If we organize and bring it into being. I believe this. Do you? Another world is possible.
In any case, back to the great Ms. Le Guin. It's 2014. She was accepting a lifetime achievement award from one of the major organizations-- this was a bfd -- & she used it to call out the industry, to remind them that the work was about art, not profit.
"Hard times are coming, when weโll be wanting voices of writers who can see alternatives to how we live now, can see through our fear-stricken society and its obsessive technologies to other ways of being, & imagine grounds for hope." She went AT them for focusing on the bottom line.
You can read the whole thing here. โค๏ธโ๐ฅ NOTE: at a moment when everyone was comfortable, when she could have said thank you and had everyone feel great about her, she said the hard thing. She was willing to be unpopular, to be the buzzkill, to tell them that THEY, THE CAPITALISTS, COULD BE TOPPLED--
Because she knew, as Heschel would put it, that the "hour called for moral grandeur and spiritual audacity. Because sometimes you gotta do the hard thing even if it's gonna make you unpopular, if people are gonna get mad at you, if you're gonna lose some clout or favors or whatever as a result.
Because it matters what we say, how we spend our opportunities, what stands we take. Because of that quote--how many times have you heard it repeated? How many of us can envision something on the other side of now as a result? Because of those words, that speech? That stand?
And more to the point: How many people actually heard her, for real, that night? If it was one, she did her job. If one publishing industry professional with any ounce of influence, current or future, *heard* her in that room? It was worth it for that. And even if not? Better she said it, no?
We must be brave. Those of us with any anything to spend, we gotta spend it NOW. The hour is now. How can we leverage our time, our talents, our access, opportunities, skills? What's your role in meeting this moment? Because while everyone's answer will be different, nobody's can be "nothing."
This isn't -- can you hear the people sing? OK. A lot of people are going to suffer now. A lot of people are going to die because Trump & these goons are opening literal concentration camps now, pulling healthcare, actively persecuting. Never again is now.
And I'm not saying I think I personally am gonna see what's on the other side or what, right? None of us know what is to come or when or anything. But what I'm saying is that I think we're at that time when history is pushing against us and we, us, now, can be the ones to push back.
I don't know what that looks like, exactly, except that the same things are always true-- relationships are the core unite of changemaking, as @zteutsch.bsky.social puts it. grassroots organizing is always the way. We gotta build coalitions, build movements, build things that grow and last.
This "we're all gonna come out that one time to that march that one day" is not going to free us from this. But that many people, engaged in sustained discipline of some sort over time? That many people with the bravery of Ms. Ursula Le Guin? And the more people, the less brave you have to be.

Why is Redis just the absolute best glue between processes? Surely Linux/Unix has something just as good? But in my experience, there's literally nothing better for communicating between processes.
Don't get me wrong, I love Redis, but I just wonder why the best solution ended up being a memory based database and not something in the operating system itself.

When Microsoft locked an ICC prosecutor out of their email, it proved just how easily U.S. power can reach across borders and into the heart of global justice, writes Paul Budde.
THE RECENT INCIDENT involving Microsoft and the International Criminal Court (ICC) should send a chill down the spine of every democratic nation. Following a sanctions order from White House, Microsoft locked ICC Prosecutor Karim Khan out of his enterprise-level Office 365 account. That account wasnโt personal โ it was part of the ICCโs institutional infrastructure.
And just like that, an American tech giant disabled access to a key international legal actor.
...
Whatโs worse is the normalisation of it all. We scroll past headlines like โMicrosoft cuts #ICC accessโ and carry on with our day. The sociologist Alexei Yurchak coined a term for this: hypernormalisation โ the idea that everyone knows the system is broken, but we all pretend things are normal because no one can imagine how to change them..."
