Finished book one of The Three Body Problem today. Meh.

Met a cool person from the Fedi in real life today.

Been testing a computer that mounts NFS shares on a NAS for the users home directories and was planning on building these in all over the new house. In practice, it definitely shifts everything to a single point of failure.

Our church flooded again😟
100 year floods 7 years apart…

I wonder if there is a convention for people associated with memes. They could get up and tell stories of how people recognize them, or how their meme images came to be. They could have lines of people paying to get a selfie with them.

[holding the Librem 5 out to Frodo after building Lagrange]

Gandalf:
Hold out your hand, Frodo. It's quite cool.
[Drops the phone into Frodo's palm]

Gandalf:
What do you see? Can you see anything?
Frodo:
Nothing. There's nothing.
[Gandalf sighs in relief]

Frodo:
Wait... there are markings. It's some form of Nerdish, I can't read it.
Gandalf:
There are few who can. The language is the that of Stdout, which I will not utter here.

Oh boy, getting ready to take Heidi to Waffle House for the first time. She’s excited!

A couple systems, one a Librem 5, listening on UDP for an audio stream. A fun multi-speaker audio system!

You know, BitTorrent is actually pretty cool. It is probably used for piracy mostly, but it is a tool that can be used for good. BitTorrent is able to share all kinds of information to friends, family, or the public without going through a middle man or setting up a server. I think most people don't know this, but they should.

Heard about PineNote, but hadn't seen one. Looks pretty cool!

Just found an old iPhone 4 in the basement. Runs a softphone app, XMPP client, OpenVPN, terminal emulator, and media player just fine. Super computers...collecting dust.

Made some NC red slaw with purple cabbage….pretty good! Would be better with some BBQ.
