Got #debian installed on my wife&#39;s computer. Been running #Xubuntu for years, but / ran out of space and I couldn&#39;t upgrade; could barely update. And, I am not a fan of snaps at all. Anyhow, back with Debian after about 20 years or so --- after #Gentoo and #MandrakeLinux (yeah, it was a while ago), Debian was one of my go-tos. Often one of the first I would recommend. Problem now is: I set up #Japanese input for my wife years ago. No idea what I did. Need to figure out again.

Final week of summer break for me. Finishing up my final #CyberSecurity course also. And, need to prep for next #AdultESOL term --- need to redo some stuff and update the workbook (again). Lots of other things still to do: want to get #SolarExpats beta published; need to update #2076SengokuAmerica to beta 2; and have a bunch of other smaller apps and whatnot to publish before school starts. It is going to be a busy and very fun week.

spent much of the day working on my #CyberSecurity presentation about #CopyFail #Linux #kernel vulnerability. About 20 slides; I have 7 minutes. No problem. Tomorrow, I need to finish the other homework for the class.

Working on Week 11 lab write up. Need to add all the citations and references to my #CopyFail presentation slides (when did bibtex become biber???? God, I&#39;m old.) Also finishing up the course reflection for this, my final #CyberSecurity course. Five courses, 20 credit hours of master&#39;s level graduate courses over about 15 months. So, ofc, I&#39;m going to start a practicum for Orten Gillingham #reading instruction from next week. OG+#EnglishLearners = great? #K12 #K12Educ...

submitted final assignment for my final #CyberSecurity course. Decided not to continue to finish the MS because the 5 courses I did are enough for me to teach for #Ohio #CollegeCreditPlus program. Not planning to leave #education anytime soon. I suspect that cybersec training could use a dose of #k12 real-world pedagogy, though, and I will be doing some projects to help with that. Hope to start with school staff.

I want to see a show that is a mash up of Continuum's "corporations are the problem" and Person of Interest's "AI + surveillance" dystopia. Oh, wait, I seem to be living it. Never mind. Yes, I'm working on my "2nd American Civil War" game. (Second civil war, not my second civil war game, to be clear.) Why do you ask? #SengokuAmerica (the game) is in progress. I'll probably finish #SolarExpats first, though. That one is less depressing. #games #U...

Just realized that PAM was allowing #SSH to fall back to #passwords even though I thought I had password #authentication turned off in the config. Fixed, but annoying. Makes me wonder what other issues might be lurking in my other /etc configs.

Don&#39;t have the pics yet, but we tried two new recipes tonight in #YoshikosKitchen. Super busy week because #k12 school year is winding down, #AdultESOL / #AdultESL is at the writing test part of the term, and this is the final week of the current #CyberSecurity course. Oh, and because so many #USA Americans lack #CriticalThinking skills and / or don&#39;t have time to rest, much less watch (increasingly unhelpful) news, daily life is even more stressful than the usual background s...

I think I&#39;m done with #Ubuntu. I need to build a new computer for my wife this summer (if I can afford it!) and will probably put #Debian on it. Language support (for Japanese) has been there since forever (literally!), and I am totally done with the snap BS on Ubuntu. Why don&#39;t they automagically remove old versions? Is there some variable or setting to auto-keep x versions? I have to go in by hand and remove huge, obsolete snaps from months ago just to be able to update the s...
