I'm not going to use Ghostty as my terminal until the energy usage is addressed. I don't use Quick Terminal and don't know how to enable/disable it.

I upgraded my monitor since tariffs were going to set in. No idea what tech will cost in the near future. Anyway, this isn't about the monitor or the tariffs, but the amount of stuff I pulled off my desk.

BEHOLD!

My David Lynch tribute beans from Brandywine Coffee Roasters was delivered earlier today. Looking forward to a damn fine cup of coffee tomorrow morning.

Then there’s the folks who don’t understand that 100% CPU utilization is, in fact, utilizing your resources at-capacity.

Brought to you by the same people who think a load value of 4 on a 56-core host is high.

Thankfully I took a larger picture! It was posted in a hallway at Lombardino’s, an Italian restaurant in Madison, WI.

My parents had the clear version of these coasters when I was growing up. I forgot about them, then discovered a perfect condition set at a thrift store earlier this year.

If anyone has good info on “Designworks, Ltd. NYC” and “Marc Barnett”, would love more history about them.

Coffee is Isley, out of Door County. Such great coffee and wish other folks knew what a delight it is. I would call it a sleeper hit.

Morning coffee update. It’s definitely a co-ferment in taste and smell, but not my favorite. However Brandywine can’t do anything wrong, so still glad I got this one.

I thought it was funnier to take a real picture. Anyway, who actually uses telnet these days for “modern” systems? Especially with Nix?

I love this! Most engineering teams prematurely optimize without focusing on the problems they are solving.

Y’all are here for unhinged skeets. I’m here to share pictures of plants and projects… along unhinged skeets.

Anyway, check out my refinished and repaired dining room table. There’s even some actual woodworking, including bowties to fix a couple cracks.

I don’t know if all Yubikey USB-C connectors are trash, but I had issues with mine being able to sustain normal keychain use. Unless they’ve addressed it, I might switch to something else that’s a bit hardier.

Look at it!
