A guy was having a phone conversation on the quiet carriage a few days ago. I just stared at home from a few seats away - we were pointed towards each other. He avoided eye contact, and then later noticed the "Quiet Carriage" signs, and went to the vestibule to make his next call.
You're welcome.

My home server (is that a thing) was shutdown for a few days, because one of the drives died, and I was psyching myself up to deal with it.
Since then, the VMs registered with DHCP as Unknown:de:ad:be:ef or whatever, rather than their hostnames. Which means the names don't work as DNS.

Sora AI slop generator places watermarks, so people know it's AI.
But competitors won't, to attract users. And Sora will remove theirs also, to get users back.
Just getting my prediction in early. I haven't used any of these tools, so no direct experience.

My openmediavault has once again died. The first time it was my mistake. This time, I think the disk reached 100% full, and went on corrupting files. Not entirely sure yet.
Hopefully I can get my files back.

Did a comedy gig last night. I used to do it fairly regularly, but the last few years I've only done 2 or 3 gigs.
It went super well, maybe one of my best ever. Makes me want to take it up again. Did some new material too, which went well.

My kids just made up a Novell Peace Prize, and I am the inaugural winner. They used their best crayons, so I'm pretty chuffed.

Not much content there, but I will aim to write consistently. It's ugly, but I've been battling with wordpress admin for a few days, and need a break from it. So it is what it is.

I am selling stuff on FB marketplace and I clearly state the location, multiple times. Still.
"Where are you located?"
"Gosford"
"Oh, that's too far. I'm on the 4th moon of Jupiter."

Compare and contrast. A couple of weeks ago I saw a random post on FB about a new album. I intentionally left the window open, with the intention of listening to the album when I was free. It randomly refresh of course, and was gone.

Couldn't get to sleep last night, and then woke at dawn. Walked for an hour, bike ride for 45 minutes, took daughter for a walk. Band rehearsal. Cleaned loungeroom preparing for wall painting. Aaaand, I'm tired.

One of the best photos I’ve ever taken and it was with an iPhone, five years ago. In Louisville. I never figured out the story behind this. And sadly the building was torn down.
