I've got defederated from the power grid yesterday. Again! For the fifth time in a week or so 
Unfortunately this time was different — tiny ARM machine I am using as VPN box/proxy started having issues with built-in storage, it looks odd as I can even write to it, but after I've read about 3 gigabytes, the controller goes nuts, kernel log gets littered with messages like "Oh noes, we don't support UltraDMA anymore" — after that I can't even read anything from it.
Maybe it wasn't the outage, this machine is over 15 years old and might start showing its age, especially its storage.
Fortunately for me, unlike machines of this kind of today, Efika MX NetTop turned out very serviceable. It looks like the controller is located on the same daughter board as the flash chips. Got the ribbon cable re-seated — didn't help, the connector it gets plugged into is labelled 99FLB (fscking logic board?
). These machines are supposed to have eMMC for SSD — and it's likely what this interface is, shouldn't be something custom, but I don't know much about this stuff. Does this look familiar to anyone? Maybe I can just replace the whole board and be done with it.
I still need a dedicated VPN box/proxy as I don't want to use VPN on every individual device in my home and I don't want it on router either as I have a few things hosted like my Plenormer instance and those have to respond from my "real" external IP.
It already had very few moving parts on the root partition, its /var was on a separate SD card. I suspect that this problem started showing even earlier, but I didn't pay attention — it boots and works even in its current state. Anyway, I have moved the rest of volatile/mutable dirs to SD card and it works for now, but it might just bork at unpredictable moment so I will have to reboot it, but I might not even be at home when this happens, I'd really like to have a more proper, reliable fix for it.

Can we get back to your being dramatic a bit later? Trying to get some sleep here! 😾

Damn, my cats are unsuitable for artistic enactments — they look the same 😹
Alas, my darling, the flowers of our love have withered and fallen 😼

People on both sides of the coin take issue with my stance on FOSS and my insistence about daily driving Linux, BSD and a Linux phone.
Normies think I'm weird, stupid or insane, and militant autists think I'm not edgy enough because I don't care about their pet/rabbithole causes like wayland or GNU licenses or firmware disputes. I just want to be free man, and I want to be in control. I DJ, do audio, graphic design, video editing, learning, entertainment, social media, ebooks, all with free software and it's based. If you want to call me a poorfag for not shelling out $1000s of Federal Reserve funny bucks to Silicon Valley like a good little slave, then so be it.
Real wealth is in knowledge and wisdom, not in material, memey reddit coonsoomerism. Sure Macbooks have good resale value, but at the end of the day, I'd rather enjoy the freedoms that Stallman was originally all about.

And of course it ends in this 😩
Remember how it all started? It was puppies and kittens — kinda fun, and for hCAPTCHA it still is, it's just that kittens are now NN-generated, sometimes it's teapots — still, in a way, pleasant objects, not something they would use for self-driving cars.
Fuck bicycles! And fuck motor cycles! But first of all, fuck ReCAPTCHA — I've just filled about 40 of them except for those two damn things, I'm pretty sure I did so correctly, and it still won't let me in! I think it just uses me to train its NN using those things as an excuse 🤬
My plans for recuperating from being hung over didn't include replacing this thing, but okay.
At least this has happened while I was at home and family living below didn't get flooded with steamy hot water 😄
I have accidentally cleared my notifications and now I don't remember whom I interacted with yesterday 😭
I like tut the, but I hate how commands are sorted alphabetically instead of being prioritized: "close-pane" looks like a command that is going to be used more often than "clear-notifications", yet the latter is what comes up if you type "cl", I've always been careful about it, but not today, I just did "cl"-tab-^M and here we go — of course there is no prompt for a dectructive operation 😡

Cat-cat, I'm just a #cat ! 😸
I'm lying here, do you like that?
I find it interesting how the absence of all this "AI" shit makes it obvious that you have to put extra effort into making a photo look good.
This phone has a sensor and lens that are probably not too bad, at least not worse than in my previous phone from 2015 and yet it focuses on some weird things, like cat's fur or flowers in the background, but not cat's face! And I don't even see it, despite display also being not that bad.

I am afraid I've been left no other option and I have decided to conduct a special potato operation. Whatever tries to interfere with me, or even more so to create threats to my satiation will face such consequences that everyone has probably already experienced in his/her life at some point (probably a side dish of pickles and some fried meat). I hope I have been heard.

Well… maybe he still has a cat in this battle 😹
