A heron at my folk’s house has switched from fish to chipmunk.

I enjoy watching Clarkson's Farm. He could have just retired and relaxed, but instead decided to jump into something brand new to him. It seems pretty obvious that he just wants to create something good and pleasing to himself and share the journey with others. I have a hard time understanding the haters' point of view. He employs a lot of people, raises environmental awareness, tries to make a profit, and makes it entertaining. Endless bureaucracy. I wish I could say the USA was better.

So I thought I might have a GPU problem, but it turns out that it was just a bad stick of RAM!

Just started reading Designing Your Perfect House: Lessons from an Architect and I think I’m going to like it. I’ve always had a deep love for architecture, but was always against approaching it formally until I had formed my own opinions firsthand. I kinda like observing buildings to see how they make me feel, then try to figure out why.

I'm not super excited about first person shooters, or gaming in general, but I had a fun thought. We could have something like a LAN party after work, (beer and pizza) with all of the levels being different buildings we've built in the past. We already have most of the models, but they're in Autodesk formats. I remember pulling some stuff into OpenSimulator once, but something like Red Eclipse would be better. Anyone done anything like this?

AI designed ITX cases...NICE!

He has been found and is safe!

One of my coworker’s sons(13) has been missing since Sunday in Golden. Prayers and watchfulness needed.

Am I the only one who liked the Wilfred(American version) series? I wouldn’t call it super wholesome, or for kids, but it struck a chord with me.

Think I’m going to take the saw on a stroll, it needs a nap.

Ok, got it working…that was tough.

~$ sudo apt install inetutils-talk inetutils-talkd inetutils-inetd

remove the "#<off>#" in front of the "talk dgram..." line in the /etc/inetd,conf file.

~$ sudo mv /bin/inetutils-talk /bin/talk

~$ sudo /etc/init.d/inetutils-inetd restart

Ta'Da, working, at least on the same box.

Thought it would be fun to get the old talk program working in Linux…no luck. It really shouldn’t be that hard. The live typing feature was memorable.

We didn't forget you John. Real hit at parties that one.😂

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...
