I've been terminally online for ~40 years, long before the big endless scroll. I've seen things some people wouldn't believe. 1200 baud modems on fire from Usenet flame wars. I watched c-news servers stutter at the mere mention of Kibo. All those moments will be lost in AI slop, like tears in rain. Time to deshittify.

If you can still see the surface of the toast, there isn't enough peanut butter and jam on it.

Contemplating moving the mailbox to the end of the driveway, and getting a morning newspaper subscription, so I have an excuse to wander out in public in my bath robe with coffee in hand.

So the movie is set 30 years before it was filmed, and we watched it 40 years after and ... time flows.

Finally go around to watching Clue (1985) for the first time. What a hoot full of running sight gags, double entendres, and other word play.

Bricked my Solar P1 by doing ota update to alternate firmware yesterday.

Got the ladder out today and connected directly over usb. It had flashed ok but wanted a new admin password set and a change from Hungary radio settings back to Canada, then a reboot. All good now.

Meshcore RF Service has resumed from my back yard tree top antenna.

@chris You can check the size of the directory (and all it's sub contents) from the shell,

Reindex all the databases, concurrently? Sure, why not.

@pinhman @chris Fuck it, nationalize all the energy things. I say this as a born, raised, and always lived here Albertan. (Maybe wait for this separatist referendum to fizzle out first)

Back from a 21 km bike ride to check some of the previous boundaries of reach, I see some improvement there. Little wismesh tag dangling from the handlebars.

Got my repeater antenna relocated to the top of this tree in the back yard. It is now 50 feet above ground level and I can make outbound (and bidirectional) connections to the rest of the mesh now.

Especially to the south of Lethbridge into the rural mesh net there. Strongest and shortest direct link to that mesh is travelling about 29 kilometres.

(EDIT: Formatting, and to note that there is an arborist in the top of that tree in the first picture, but you can't see them because... branches from the down below angle obscured him.)

Wish there was a read-books-in-order option on my Kobo. Had to go look up a series for the recommended reading order, then scroll back and forth on Kobo to figure out where I'd left off and if I'd skipped any, before picking the next one to start.

@hauntedhideaway @kimsiever Yes, except Alberta does not (to my knowledge) have a law saying you can not own more than 5 dildos.

@nigel I suspect you were using a fountain pen and postcards being coarser than writing paper . . . blobs and spreading lines and such happen.

@heyheymomo I like the item placements better in polished (plants, etc) but prefer the scribbly lines more than straight ones.

LOL no idea why I can't make my fauxtographer account name behave like the other account tags in that message. Whatever, some oddity in ice shrimp I guess, or maybe how it interacts with vernissage to check validity.
