Smoking right next to the gas pump as you fill up your massive truck that’s clearly never seen a spec of dirt in its existence…I’m starting to think natural selection might be a thing. 🤔😔
Finished reading: Hell Difficulty Tutorial 2 by Cerim 📚
★★★☆☆
The 2nd book of the series, it gives some backstory using flashbacks, which explains a great deal about the actions of the main character. Another sequel (been reading a lot of those lately) that I just couldn’t put down.
It’s becoming rapidly apparent that my Synology DS3617xs is not long for this world or even my network set up. Just had to forcibly restart it, the second time in just two weeks. I can no longer trust this to be the backbone of my home infrastructure. 😭😤
Ah, the US Post office…once again a package came halfway across the country, stopped in my city and then continued onto the other side of the county and is now “in transit to next facility." Please excuse me while I scream into the void. 😱

★★★☆☆
The 4th book of the series, I couldn’t put this one down, it was absolutely fantastic.
Well…wide awake again, might as well get to work. 😵💫
Insomnia sucks. 🥱
Once again, the difference between equals() and == in .Net vs Java has tripped me up. 🤣
I was listening to the latest @atpfm podcast, about the dust up between Apple / Creators / Patreon and I’m in agreement with the hosts: it’s just yuck. I love their hardware but with the focus on squeezing more revenue out small devs / creators, it’s getting harder to justify giving Apple money.
@UndamnedOne of course, why would they play fair? They don’t win when they play fair, so why start now. 😱
Our old one kicked the bucket, so yesterday I bought a new lawnmower…and today, when I opened it up, the mower came out but one of the wheels didn’t. 😮💨 I’m sure I could have filled out a bunch of paperwork to get a new wheel and attachment but honestly, I was so pissed, I just took it back. 🫠
Finished reading: Order of Architects: Book 2 by Oleg Sapphire & Yuri Vinokuroff 📚
★★★☆☆
The second book of the series, is a great follow-up…and now I have to wait for the third book. 🤣 😭
Forcing me to give you my phone number to buy something online when you already have my email address means I will not be buying from you. 😱😤🤬
@Burk ohhhh, I want one!
I’ve been setting up my new Raspberry Pi to be an always-on, lightweight server but I was running into the oddest issue when trying to get memory data out of Docker. As it turns out, adding “cgroup_memory=1 cgroup_enable=memory” to my “/boot/cmdline.txt” file fixed the issue. 🎉 Link
Insomnia sucks 😵💫
My father just bought a Mac with no input from me and set it up without my help…and now can’t remember the password; trying to remotely help him was painfully frustrating. 😮💨 Oh the joys of being tech support. 🤣
Irony: he has a computer science degree and used to write SQL for a living. 🤣
The weather was so lovely over lunch, I went for a walk. 🚶🏼♂️
Whilst walking, I stumbled across the cutest flowers. 😊 🌿 📷
@numericcitizen Personally, I hope they don't bring touch support to the Mac, especially if it increases the weight / cost to the system; maybe I'm just the rare person who thinks the Mac Air has achieved near-perfection. 🤣
@stupendousman amazing photo, wow! 🤩
Does anyone out there know how to scrub your number from all of the political texting lists? …asking for a friend… 😮💨
The irony of a company that both profits off the (free) labor of other’s work, and who shut down all 3rd party API integration because of the “high costs” associated with supporting it complaining about other companies taking their “work” for free and costing them money by scraping their site (and by-passing their APIs).
Love the comment section at Ars…and 100% agree with that comment. 😆
Finished reading: The Healer: Book 1 by Roman Romanovich 📚
★★☆☆☆
Another one of those “I died and was reborn in another world” books, it was interesting but a little hard to read at times.
Someone once said “hell is other people." I would like to modify that: hell is Costco on a Saturday afternoon.
@jamiemchale awww, what a cutie!
@hollie oh my, those are some beautiful photos 🤩
@heyloura so so very sorry for your loss...it's so rough to loose a close family member and I know it's trite to say it...but it will get easier with time; I lost my Grandma in the Autumn of this last year and I'm only just now getting to the point where the good memories are outweighing the pain of loosing her. Eventually you'll be able to think about him and smile without feeling sorrow.
@jayeless oh no...good luck! It's going around in my region, a friend just caught it for the first time. 😔
Met up with some friends tonight for dinner at our favorite Thai restaurant. Nine times out of ten, I get the same dish…why mess with perfection. 😋 📷

@esamecar I hope you're enjoying Zelda! I remember that coming out on the Game Boy, it was the first game I played through without my father's help. The remake it amazing. 💕

@jean wow...very pretty! 🤩
I’m so damn sick of unsolicited text messages about politics and upcoming elections. Yes, I’m going to show up and vote…you know that already so why are you bothering me with this crap?! 😱😡🤬
@manton I still find the entire situation bizarre...seems like they want to become a walled garden but wouldn't that also reduce their traffic and (in theory), their profitability... Cutting off their nose to spite their face, or something like that. 🤷🏼
