Have any of you folks realized/figured out a fix for USB3.0 in Linux? It is incredibly slow.
Last night's data transfer:
"received 61.1G stream in 37893 seconds (1.65M/sec)"
I think I would have been better off with USB2.0.
My fairly new desktop keeps cutting off, not sure what's up. It's not overheating. Scrolling through a specific video file will do it. Trying to zfs send/receive to a USB flash drive did it a couple of times. Happened while booted on a live disk too. A couple times seemingly randomly. Weird that another desktop died this week too. I don't think Heidi's been pouring chocolate milk in my cases...
Merry Christmas!

3 weeks ago, i felt a strong prompting to go spend time with my family. I did, and events led to me and my father sitting and talking alone for about an hour and a half. As it was happening, I had a very strong sense that this moment was very precious, so I tried to pay attention.
As i was driving home I was trying to make sense of what I had experienced. I wasn't quite sure what it meant, but it felt like things were about to change. One week later, all of his systems just suddenly started shutting down. Heart, liver, kidneys, brain, everything.
They rushed him to the hospital, but by all appearances he was gone. They couldn't figure out why his systems were shutting down.
I realized how precious that time had been. I entrusted the outcome to God, and began thinking about how I could support my family.
But a few nights later, there was a very dark, heavy weight in the air. It was a crushing weight of death and sadness. It pissed me off.
So I pushed back on it, and started praying. At that moment, a random song from Youtube suddenly started playing on my computer. It was a Celtic Hymn. I listened to that hymn on repeat for the entire night. Didn't sleep, and I kept praying. By the time the morning came, things felt different. I felt a very real possibility that my Dad might survive.
I learned later that many people who knew him had experienced something similar. A pretty large group of them even met up one night just to pray for him. They next day, his condition changed. If you knew him, and the impact he has had on many peoples lives, you would understand why so many people would meet together like that.
I spend two nights with him in the hospital. These were very weird nights. He was not really there. He would fall asleep for 30 minutes, then wake up and start physically trying to push something off of him. He didn't even know who I was. At one point he took a swing at me. But it wasn't me he was fighting. He was fighting something else. He was fighting whatever that darkness was that I felt that night. He was fighting for life.
After those nights, I started asking God directly, to bring him home by Christmas. This was, of course. impossible. According to the doctors, there was still a chance he wouldn't make it. I didn't care. I was asking, and I meant it.
Tonight, my Dad came home, and tomorrow is Christmas Eve.
So listen up... I don't know why some make it, and some don't. All I can tell you is this.... Fight. Believe. Believe in the Goodness of God, and His willingness to hear you. And don't stop. Do not be intimidated by mountains. Or as Neo would say, "There is no spoon." Risk believing, and you may see a miracle.

Turned some pan-grilled redfish, crab, dirty rice, with brown butter wine sauce into the best nachos when @mary brought some chips and queso home!
@mary has a friend nearby who thought she could make a frozen family wardrobe…success!
Just used nostr with nostr console and it was quite nice. Feels a lot like Usenet. The lightness of the protocol makes it pretty powerful, though I wonder how spam will play out. I don't really see the same benefits of running a relay like I do with a Mastodon instance. I kinda like the ownership aspect. Other than altruistic reasons, what motivation would someone have to pay for a nostr relay that everyone else takes advantage of?
Our world is so full of wonder and it is wrong to not stop and appreciate it from time to time. I just downloaded a few dozen books in a couple of seconds. Modern cookware, running water, clothing, etc...I am very grateful for these conveniences.

Welcome back to the 90's!
This one's from September 1991.

Wandering around in my digital storage and stumbled into a folder containing ~170K midi files. A lot of them are pretty good!
My buddy Bruce started with my company this week back in 1977. He’s a sharp cowboy who could’ve retired years ago, but loves his work. He’ll probably hang on another year or two. Congratulations on 45 years!
We’ve been whining about these newfangled hard hats for a bit, but won’t be after this week. One of my friends and coworkers was involved in a serious accident on Tuesday when a tower crane somehow swung and caught a column form he was on top of. The whole 1000lb mess fell over on him and his body is badly broken. He is expected to make a full recovery, but that probably wouldn’t be true if he had an old hard hat on and fell the way he did 14’. They cost $500, but worth every penny.
I have a few hours to myself today. Getting some work done without distraction is amazing!
I think awk is the best tool for a project I’m working on, but I’ve never really learned it. Mostly I’ve just copied what others have done. It looks like the sort of thing that I’ll be able to wrap my head around in about an hour, but will have to re-learn in a year because I will have forgotten everything.
Well the new Willow show isn't very good. Gotta keep pushing "the agenda" rather than focusing on writing something good.
