Author Albert Jack claimed in his 2008 book Pop Goes the Weasel: The Secret Meanings of Nursery Rhymes that there were two other verses supporting this claim. Elsewhere, he claimed to have found them in an "old dusty library, [in] an even older book", but did not state what the book was or where it was found.

Starting the weekend early by reinstalling windows. (Surface pro 4 I found in the parts closet.)

And now begins long term testing of the Amazon basics power strip. See you all in ten years (hopefully).
UPS (power supply) long term review Power outages prevented: 0 (Both incidents I'm aware of lasted far longer than the battery, so technically I did get another hour of time to snark about the outage, but really pretty inconsequential.) Power outages caused: 1 (It just died. Pushing power button causes it it start a power up count down, but when it hits zero it just resets back to 10.)

@EndlessMason the messages aren't too bad IF you special case them. They're signed by the deleted account, which the recipient has never heard of, so the first thing you do is go back to the origin to fetch the key, which is now gone. There's an old issue in the github whenever an admin tried a cleanup, they'd DOS their own server by all the recipients pinging back, because it sends it to every server it's ever heard, which is probably 100x the normal servers you'd normally push to. There's also an unfixed bug where delete messages get stuck in sidekiq and resent endlessly until the server is rebooted. Mostly it's the principle than the actual load. It doesn't bother me, but it's one of the factors that make running a server more expensive than it should be.
I appear to be averaging 0.03 qps (2500 hits per day) for flak; bots, scrapers, etc. included. Approximately 20% of that is mastodon telling me about every time a user deletes their account. So if mastodon fixed their software to be less stupid, I could cut 20% off my hosting bill. Or something, right?
I will never stop thinking revision control system whenever someone says RCS.
BTW, if you really need to serve dozens of requests per second, consider picking up a big iron server like a 300MHz ultra sparc and installing thttpd. http://www.acme.com/software/thttpd/benchmarks.html Also, don't forgot to tune your kernel properly.

Yet again, somebody at a security vendor - a different one this time - is phoning around my ex employers trying to find out where I work, presumably so they can complain about my toots.
Ok, full disclosure, I also complain about the golang proxy hammering my server at 0.0001 qps, but "that's different".

What's up with execs complaining that people are using their website at objectively low rates? We previously discussed the CTO & CEO of Discourse ($21M raised) getting mad at 0.5 QPS, calling this "an attack", etc. : https://mastodon.social/@danluu/111064835112616061. Now, the CEO of iFixit (supposedly ~$50M/yr revenue) calls 11 QPS, "abuse", saying "you're tying up our devops resources", implying it's reasonable for a $50M/yr regularly viral web property to need significant intervention if traffic increases by 11 QPS. Since discourse employees are now dropping in to inform me that the Bing thing is fixed, with the implication that Bing was at fault because Bing fixed the issue. I know. The thing about the Bing issue is that, in response to Bing crawling at 0.5 QPS, leadership banned Bing and, in response to comments that this would cause problems, said things like "No, the nuclear option is what we want here." The justifications were that 0.5 QPS of crawler traffic was causing discourse to lose customers

Hey @AnthropicAI

You're not only taking our content without paying, you're tying up our devops resources. Not cool.
If any of those requests accessed our terms of service, they would have told you that use of our content expressly forbidden. But don't ask me, ask Claude!

"12qps would be a significiant load for my RPI3B server" Lolwut, why did you select a rpi server to run a serious business? Maybe the problem lies with your provisioning process.
Woah, I was today years old when I learned people have strong thoughts about spelling it whoa.
All the outdoor shots in got ham are cloudy and overcast, but all the indoor shots have glorious god rays streaming through the window.
CrowdStrike announces every customer to receive a ten honkcoin credit at the #honkstore as compensation for the inconvenience.
Interesting artistic choice for house of the dragon to film some of their aerial dragon fights during the day instead of at night in a haze of clouds.
Started watching got ham on HBO. Turns out it's a crime drama, not a cooking show, but seems good so far.
