From a dare, I did a #Cybertruck test drive in #Portland. My wife didn’t think I’d go through with it, so she said she’d come along. On the test drive, she’d duck underneath the door so no one would see her. I had so many glares. So many looking at me in contempt. A couple of fingers.

If it’s not clear, I didn’t buy one. They offered my wife a turn to do a drive, and she refused. 😂

Pardon me…? But #1Password is backed by Ryan Reynolds, Matthew McConaughey and Scarlett Johansson?

“AI innovation has accelerated demand for better cybersecurity tools to counteract sophisticated and complex cyberattacks” so $400M in ARR?

Books are being cooked somewhere… right?

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

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…

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 🤷🏼‍♂️

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…

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.
