By night, I'm a maker, a father, a husband and a Seattle Kraken fan.

This is bad UI
In the Sound settings in Windows 11 - you can disable a sound device that you don't want apps to be able to use
However, when you open the UI to do that you are faces with a button that says "Don't Allow" or "Allow" - Which really doesn't tell you what the current state is

I'm working remotely in a hotel room, and I just had to break down and get a couple of those cheap portable external monitors.
However, I feel like @bitcrazed.bsky.social is judging me.

Meh, what can go wrong?
Seriously tho' ... I discovered an actual viable reason to check the second box
Docker desktop is A BIT DISK INTENSIVE ... so I moved the vhdx files for that to an otherwise unused drive
It's for test/dev work only, so I don't care about the contents

About a year ago, I started my weight loss journey.
I've lost 100 lbs so far. I feel better, look better and I'm still going.
What a difference a year can make.

If they want Canada to become part of the US, I have a list of non-negotiable conditions.
If the US can agree to 100% of these conditions, I'm on board.

My hydroponic garden is exploding!
My basil is HUGE
The tomato plants have doubled in size in a week
And the new strawberry roots I planted are all sprouting massive leaves in just six days

I've recently gotten into printing some hydroponic grow towers and growing some vegetables (and now strawberries!)
The image is a bit purple because I have a UV light in there to encourage growth
I had some basil plants in a pot that were on the verge of dying so I replanted them in my grow tower
