Noticed ssh was taking a long time to connect to a remote #Debian13 machine... checked dmesg and many errors.

Anyway seeing a core file in / I found that #systemd blew itself up. systemctl wasn't working enough to start/stop anything. Also couldn't cleanly reboot. I reboot -f and it is back to normal.

systemd dying on its own is lame. #linux #Debian

Really annoyed I need to add
:set mouse=
to my ~/.vimrc on #Debian 13.

Actually I think probably best to add it as a system default… sigh. 😮‍💨

I can’t believe this isn’t an onion article. Like I hope I’m wrong and this isn’t just a massive waste of resources…

Seems like total insanity though. #google

Wife and I were in the mood for some roast beef sandwiches so we bought some round roast, salted, and cooked tonight. Should be great tomorrow.

Resell value of wireless routers is pretty bad. I’m auctioning off on eBay an eero Pro 6. Right now the bidding has reached $16.50! I think it was $199 when I bought it in 2020? I can’t find the receipt - it was cheaper to purchase on a Black Friday special from Best Buy…

On #Instagram the comment section on this tired video uploaded hundreds of times from many accounts is always a treat: people discovering how #mayonnaise is made.

I sometimes will watch food and restaurant themed reels on Instagram. Often browsing #Oahu or #Hawaii to find new local places.

But about 90% of the restaurant “sponsored links,” aka advertisements, are for places like New Jersey, Utah, Michigan, Arizona, Boston, etc. I’ve never even visited most of these places!

So many ads on Instagram are extremely poorly targeted. Just setting money on fire. 🔥 I kind of feel bad for all these small businesses but 🤷🏼‍♂️

I would totally be onboard with #Neo doing chores poorly in my apartment. Vacuum, dishes, laundry, maybe making bed, fetching me a drink, etc? Heck yeah! Living with a first gen #autonomous #robot? 🫨

Privacy obviously a nightmare.

When I was a student at Cal State LA (2001?), I took an English class where we had to pick a new book and basically write an essay about something new we learned.

I chose “Stupid White Men” by Michael Moore. I still to this day am enraged over the chapter about recycling. The performative BS in that industry and lack of actual recycling was maddening. It was cities literally giving themselves trophies and telling constituents they were saving the planet.

I feel so old talking about a book written ~25 years ago…

Really nice feature that #Tailscale is adding. Can run your own relay instead of depending on their relays that can be painfully slow.

Went to Apple Store today to try the Dual Knit Band. The fit is really fantastic. But I won’t be able to get one until December. The demand is way too high? Was not expecting that…

The #PayPal app on my iPhone has to be the most annoying trash app I have on my phone. It can sometimes take up to 3 minutes to log in. It’s set up with faceid and it will just spin, spin, spin loading of what looks like some embedded webpage at login. Entire UI is either not showing or unresponsive until this landing page loads. Such a total piece of garbage. I hate that app so much, and I’m glad I barely use it once a month.

How is it possible eBay isn’t dead from all this nonsense? Unbelievable.

Was getting irritated about not seeing how I could vote NO to Musk’s pay package of $1,000,000,000,000… then I remembered I don’t own any shares of #Tesla… 😂

I think #mastodon should limit the number of #hashtags per post. Every once in awhile I run across a post that is a solid block of hashtags. Maybe 3 hashtags is a good limit? #fedidev

Recall for #Linux
(Was unable to test on my #macOS)
From the developers:
Are you forced to work with Linux?
Do you miss the convenience of #Microsoft spying on you and keeping track of everything?

Fear not! This amazing tool will bring back all those great Windows Recall features that you have been missing:

🌲 Stores all you sensitive data in an convenient, easily accessible database
⏲️ 24/7 screencaptures of everything you do
🥳 Image to text conversion with OCR
😇 Index and store everything your friends tell you over chat apps or e-mail; if it's on your screen we've got you covered!
Did a friend once share confident information with you, but has since forgotten all about the shamefull details? No worries, you got that info!

Forgot about that website you visited 3 weeks ago, late in the evening while drunk? Yup, we stored that!

Remember life before we all had digital mapping systems in our cars and phones?

Thomas Guide and small maps from #AAA. I kept 3 in my car: Inland Empire, Los Angeles County, and Orange County. When I was headed to San Diego, I’d make a mental note to borrow someone’s or stop at AAA for a map of the grid I needed.

I also had a laminated map of the entire freeway system in Southern California. It would fold up into a (maybe) small 3x5 card. It was one of the free maps AAA would provide if you knew to ask for it.
