  Noted that the morning sunrise is VERY orange and red this morning. Thought that I should check to see if there is a local forest fire causing a bit of smoke in the air. I made the mistake of ZOOMING OUT.

  Talked with my pharmacist today while getting 1/2 of my shingles vaccine about my father having shingles in the 80s and how awful it was for him. She relayed that her parents were hesitant to get it and I sympathized. It’s getting harder for people to trust things but HOLY COW! You do NOT want shingles.

  A nice "back to school" hiccup with email this weekend. Unsurprisingly, the authentication bits from #Thunderbird to #Firefox don't work with #Librewolf because the entire OAuth thing is insane but whatever. Anywho ... installing Firefox for the ONETIME auth to get thunderbird to resume pulling IMAP email is something that makes me grind my teeth at night and want to throw all of civilization into the sea.

  I cannot believe what a relationship improvement I gained when I got a cheapy set of blutooth earbuds for listening to my bullshit on my computer so my spouse didn't have to listen to it. I realized this was an improvement when I didn't put my headset on before playing some morning music and my spouse asked who the "yelling man" was. #music

  This feels like a good weekend to power down and take a deep breath before the plunge into the Fall semester.

  *sigh* ... #Plex linux container stuff that I paid for, apparently, needs an INTERNET connection to import new files. PLEX itself is having issues, therefore, new files cannot be ingested. Yet another reason to use #jellyfin https://forums.plex.tv/t/music-library-says-internet-connection-required-but-server-is-online/940899

  It’s not my fault that some hasn’t read a 3000 year old pillar of western fantasy fiction and then overhears us talking about it.

  I really need to get a bench power supply so I don’t have to wait a week to realize that I need to diagnose a power issue that is just a stupid fuse problem. #commodore #retrocomputing

  You ever had some give you home made pickle slices so good that you treat them like mad kings of old when introduced to pepper and cinnamon? #food

  Can some remind people that the idea of chemically stimming your military and populace is supposed to be a dystopian idea that should be discouraged not a mainstream idea that is backed by every part of our leaders?

  https://www.amd.com/en/products/software/adaptive-socs-and-fpgas/vivado/vivado-licensing-options.html I'm being told that this years update removes Linux Desktop support from the free-tier. It also creates a new tier "GOLD" that is the only tier that doesn't enforce mandatory telemetry! 🤦‍♀️ 🤦 🤦‍♂️ Important: All subscription tiers of AMD Vivado™ and the AMD Vivado™ Enterprise edition includes tools telemetry turned on by default.

  These #commodore plus/4 things are wild. Windowed editing while spreadsheeting in 1984. I love the form factor and the keyboard on it. #retrocomputing
