@the_tower_power_ failure in designing for scale. See also forced centralization.

@Gina Caty is waiting for the snow verrrrry impatiently right now

@Gina hmm I did tropical already or I would be in for sure.

@kyle probably both, but at the same time almost all of the “special” features have direct equivalents in other cloud providers. I’d wager the migration difficulties are likely compounded by failing to have a sufficiently generic interface that can use any service’s flavor of backend.

@Gina I read this as “To Give A F*** Advanced” training just fyi 😂🤷🏻‍♂️

This violin journey has been an interesting one to be sure. One that has, on occasion, made me question my own sanity. Many of the challenges stem from 30+ years of playing guitar. There is very little that translates between instruments, and decades of deeply entrenched habits that serve me well on one while making simple things very difficult on the other. When it all comes together the feeling is pretty great.

Phosh Overview

"phosh is graphical shell for mobile, touch based devices like smart phones. It’s the default graphical shell on Purism’s Librem 5 (and that’s where it came to life) but projects like Postmarket OS, Mobian and Debian have picked it up putting it into use on other devices as well and contributing patches."

@kyle the first few times I did it was a real eye opener. The only time I keep it around is during hurricane season, or when someone’s in the hospital.

And now I’ve got 3 skeins of this BFL. The most recent is 176m/112g. Has a fairly consistent weight and twist compared with the second skein. The first was my first experience on a wheel at all and isn’t nearly as consistent but I’ll still use it in whatever project this goes into.

@kyle these are all the reasons I never got a smart watch and never plan to. I’ve spent the last two years trying pretty hard to reduce the amount of time I spend looking at any kind of screen. At the same time I want to maximize the potential for being able to solve challenging problems from ALL of my devices.

Here’s an interesting one to try: charge your phone in a different room while you sleep.

On to another bobbin of this BFL. Once I’ve got the new one done, I’ll ply it to the one I just finished and then make skeins out of the two plied bobbins and start again. I still have about 250g of this roving to go so this is going to take a while!

@Gina yeah I did not get much sleep. Basically everyone at work today has asked about the situation at home.

Friendly reminder to the if you’re running and you split sys-net in two so you can have wireless and ethernet on two entirely different networks do yourself a favor and modify your update proxy settings so you can update your TemplateVMs.
