@mary was today years old when she learned that buttons on women's shirts are on the opposite side of men's shirts, lol. I know she's sewn a lot of buttons back on over the years.

@MisterRogersSnapped I started tree planting when I was 15. My first year resulted in 151 native tree plantings, in total I've planted 4,700 trees as of today.
Gradually I've been building an operation to germinate and plant trees at 0 cost. I've started with the Largest Flowering Tree; Eucalyptus Regnans this year after acquiring a steady supply of legal seeds at very low cost from a diverse population of parent trees.
Eucalyptus Regnans grows to 90 meters/300 feet at a rate of 1-3 meters a year. Roughly 2 meters a year for the first 20 years of its life.
My goal is to plant 500+ a year for the rest of my life in Australia, sinking approximately 80 tonnes of carbon per tree I plant. Plus more in soil bacteria and the ecosystems living in the tree's canopy.
If I can manage 500 of them next year, in addition to other native plants, I'll be trying for 1,000 the year after.

Most of these centers were only half finished for “future use” and had generators, fuel, and water in abundance. These places had serious fences and security too. If I had to build a bunker to ride out rough times in plain sight…that’s not a bad plan.

The current state of the world brought back a memory I had almost forgotten from the recession. At the time I was building data centers all over the country and I was finishing punch on one near DC. That day the owners were having a tour. Most of the time these were tech folks and management, but this time was weird because there were lots of families with small children and pets.

My little girl was accepted to university and after a tour today, decided to attend! She has an actual roadmap to what she wants to do, Lord willing, and has the ambition to pull it off. What a blessing!
I always forget, ifuse works so much better than gvfs. Moving data like a champ now.
Am I the only one who has problems rsyncing iPhone photos/videos to a NAS via usb? I always get I/O errors for some reason and after unplugging/plugging a hundred times, it eventually works.

It is something to be able to paint a particular picture, or to carve a
statue, and so to make a few objects beautiful; but it is far more glorious
to carve and paint the very atmosphere and medium through which we look,
which morally we can do. To affect the quality of the day, that is the
highest of arts. Every man is tasked to make his life, even in its details,
worthy of the contemplation of his most elevated and critical hour.
-- Henry David Thoreau, "Where I Live"
Alright, I just added some honey to the chili and I feel like I committed some kind of crime. It is excellent though, because it balanced out some of the spices and bitterness of the beer.
Kept watching this YouTube ad Operation Aurora | Hacking Google. It started off like an historic documentary about hacking and then proceeded to describe a major hacking event that affected Google in 2009. It was interesting, and of course it painted Google as the innovative hero at the end. They put human faces on Google and championed clever teamwork, but you shouldn't forget that these clever teams are building some of the most invasive and potentially freedom destroying tools in history.
Training and discipline are what a body needs.

As @mary and the pups were rolling around(playing) on the living room floor, it hit me that those two haven’t been apart a day since conception over five years ago.🐾
We’re having a chili cook-off at church this weekend and I think I’m going to enter an all veg recipe this time. Should prove a bit more challenging.
Sous vide on the cheap! Cooler, trough heater, thermostat. I need to do this again soon, but with solar panels.

So I have been using pass, the standard Unix password manager, together with PassFF and it is a working solution so far. I like that it is a simple program, and that it was easy to setup, but I wish it was even easier for normies. Qtpass works well for my wife because it has an easy password/username/url template.
