software engineer @ a big cloud. some techposting, some shitposting, videos james, taylor swift, you know, the usual smorgasbord @doubleyewdee or @wd many places (discord/reddit/elsewhere) periodic blogging @ https://etc.teleri.net

young Goku from Dragomball riding his cloud, Kinto-un, next to a smiling excited slime flying along on a shaded blue background. there’s lots of fine shading and color work, in the style of manga cover art

a mostly white ragdoll kitten at 12 weeks old jumping towards a dangling cat toy with signifcant motion blur on the body but a clear shot of her face and eyes which are very focused and intent looking
a pixelated-yet-blurry capture of the winking face emoji. the head is tilted, the left eye is closed in a winking gesture, the right eye and mouth seem *extremely* open, with the bottom of the open eye slightly obscured by the ... cheek? of the emoji? do emoji have cheeks? i guess they would? sorry for getting off topic in the alt text
the default discord "winking face" emoji with emoji-yellow skin tone. the image is somehow both pixelated and marred by image compression artifacts

Becky (I guess a cartoon dog? who knows) from the animated series T.U.F.F. Puppy who, through no fault of her own, was drawn with a face where somehow her mouth is right below her eyes but then she also has an enormous dog nose with... no mouth? i don't know how to describe this. imagine if you touched a dog's face and it had a mouth like sort of back where the jawbone is and then the whole rest of the nose had no mouth but also it was, idk, like a pitbull or something with a BIG SNOOT. this is really challenging to alt text because it is visually such a disaster.

a Bluesky notification reading "Taylor Swift followed you". It will live in my heart forever.

Vegeta from Dragonball Z crushing his scouter with meme text “IT’S OVER 9000” which is, like, both what the graph above shows and also extremely cool to see
screenshot of C# code with a LOT of boilerplate to mock a basic interaction. I tried to paste the full code here, but it won't fit. it's 19 lines to stub out the 'ListNamespacedConfigMapAsync' method, except you have to stub the one that returns a body from their Autorest implementation. it is farcically bad
picture of a macbook pro display which is very cracked, cracks radiating out from the top right corner it landed on when it fell out of my bag at a brewery. display replacements are close to $1000
invocation of winget install git at powershell command line produces several lines of output saying "multiple packges found matching input criteria" with two irrelevant packages and the actual thing you'd want, 'git', in the middle. in the name column it is called 'Git', but the id column is 'Git.Git'

a siberian husky laying on my leg in bed and giving me some serious side eye because i am using the glowing rectangle instead of petting her
a box with a logo that seems to read "trust", however the letters look wrong at first glance. they are both upside-down, but also each letter is individually mirrored left to right. if you rotate the logo 180 degrees it says "TURST", but if you attempt to mirror it, it says "TRUST" but the R and S are backwards-facing someone should pay for this.
a screenshot of evan replying to me "where can i find this" where he is clearly labeled a "Bluesky Elder" this dumb mf invited me to the site to begin with

a view of a very prominent aurora borealis over trees around a house with dim lighting. the aurora is fading from deep purple through magenta and into greens. it’s very strong
final fantasy xiv branded toenail clippers straight from the land of the rising sun. these really shouldn’t exist
chat session with copilot where i sent it a picture of a peculiar tiny light bulb i was holding in my hands and asked what kind it was. copilot responded with a correct and helpful answer (G9), as well as how you identify the bulbs

the (extremely cursed and distressing) child/dog chimera from Fullmetal Alchemist
“A dark-themed screenshot of a Twitter conversation where a user named ‘Troyneilous Q.’ comments on engineers’ responses to non-experts arguing about a bridge collapse. The tweet reads, ‘What makes this even funnier (and sadder), is the engineers are saying “y’all don’t even really need us for this one. Something REALLY big hit something else” and the idiots are like “nah, it CANT just be that”. We’re cooked.’ Below is a quoted tweet from ‘Dear Ashley…’ stating, ‘Ppl with no formal education are arguing with engineers on this app about a bridge collapsing.’”
