My #kids were hungry before dinner was ready and kept grabbing snacks. They weren't hungry once dinner was ready. They didn't really eat any of it.

Now that I've cleaned the table, my kids are hungry again.

Happy Day of the Third Indictment, for all those who observe.

Anyone know what this thing is? #nature #SpottedLanternFly It doesn’t look like the guide for spotted lantern flies though. I’ve got a bunch of these things running up the side of my pine tree.

@davidseidl I worked with a John John John single person.

I haven't had time to troubleshoot. Is #DisneyNow no longer supported (on #AndroidTV) or is #PiHole blocking the necessary dns?

(Related, #PBSKids is the best TV app for kids. Just fantastic.)

Is ChatGPT getting worse over time? Study claims yes, but others aren’t sure

Either way, experts think OpenAI should be less opaque about its AI model architecture.

Looking at network activity on my very very open network via #Zeek. We see a lot of client SSH-2.0-Go. I see Emerging Threats has "ET INFO SSH-2.0-Go version string Observed in Network Traffic - Inbound" / 2038967.

Are there legitimate SSH-2.0-Go users or is primarily scanners?

@Cadmus @mainframed767 @bsidespgh We have the large scale systems museum in Pittsburgh. Now yinz have me wondering the logistics of getting a system moved across the city.

Foot long hotdogs are at Giant Eagle. Hehehehe. We’ll see if the kids love them.

3 year old is a real #yinzer. We’re trying to get him to wear a dress shirt and he ran into his room, coming out wearing a Steelers jersey.

Upgraded to #IOS17 beta. So far, so good.

While reviewing some network traffic, noticed my employer has their own MAC OUI. We use it for virtualization nowadays, but it looks like it was initially for Andrew File System way way back in the day.

@nuintari I'd argue NAT is more of a firewall than a hardware firewall with an any-any rule.
