  Ok question for fellow oldies: my #CNews active file has gotten corrupt, how do I rebuild it? I can write a script to do it, if I have to, but I'd prefer not to rebuild a hexagonal wheel...

  Cached US Kindle giveaway: 10 copies of A Drifting Sun (Exiles Trilogy Book 1) by Ashley Capes, which I now have, but haven't read, so if you read it please let me know what you think. It was on sale and I have to say, the description did sound interesting, and it had a 4.4 rating on amazon stars! See how much those reviews matter? Please claim one if it sounds interesting. You can also tell someone else about the giveaway!

  Cached US Kindle giveaway: 10 copies of Shadow of a Dead God (Mennik Thorn Book 1) by @patricksamphire, which TO THE AMAZEMENT OF ALL, I not only have but have read! (Just recently.) I enjoyed it quite a bit; it was very reminiscent of early Taltos and Dresden books, which is a good thing. I have at least one of the sequels, so I should get around to that at some point. As always, feel free to claim one, tell other people about the giveaway, or tell a fascist to fuck off, or any/all of those!

  Yet Another #Siri "eccentricity": my #HomePod told me a joke last night, about a photon checking into a hotel. But it pronounced the word "phu-tawn." As in pho, the Vietnamese food.

  I really like #Tailscale, but I keep running into issues on my mac with it. First, it hates that some of my hostnames resolve to 192.168.0.0/16, and new right now... it's removed my router's IP address from the list of DNS hosts. Which means my *.internal names don't resolve.

  My #Apple Watch updated itself last night, and in the process, deleted almost all of my reminders. Just... gone. Good job, Apple. Good job.
