I am surprised at all that our local NBC affiliate hasn't completed an OTA subchannel reassignment this morning. Days ago, they notified viewers to rescan their networks for the change. They changed the original ABC channel they took over, but the new NBC subchannel still doesn't show up. 😠

I definitely don't eat as healthy as I should, and Lort knows I love my candy, but I just ate a honeycrisp apple and it was delicious. I need to start building more fresh fruit and veggies into my diet - even if just weekdays. Who knows, I might turn this slippery slope I'm on weight-wise around.

We've been using SunRun solar for years, but over the past 2 months the electricity bills have increased. October $100+ & November $200+ with no clear change in usage. It's normal to see a bill in the winter, but not like this! Time to contact customer service. Will install their monitoring app.

ALWAYS request and keep a copy of any chat conversations with companies. Back in October I chatted with Amazon regarding an empty package. I requested a refund but could not send back the item I never received. Now, I get an email telling me I'll be charged if no return by 12/3! WTF?!

Did I fix it? Looking at the system logs back to 1/1/25, the earliest alert was 3:31am 10/16 and the latest was 3:07pm 11/26, so I have several hours before I'll know if the alerts have stopped following the network settings changes I made.

Trump and his minions can continue to lie about gasoline being under $2 and food prices being down, but the reality is very different. Regular gas yesterday was $3.049 and I paid a discounted $4.059 for premium. That's a far cry from the delusional $2 per gallon. All lies.

Made the STP/RSTP network spanning tree protocol priority changes. Very easy and quick using increments of 4096. Let's see if the network is more stable now with a root bridge switch identified. Plus I have space for 12 more switches which seems very unlikely.

After watching a YT video I may have a fix for the STP Flapping issue. 1) Disable Global Settings, 2) Set USW24POE to RSTP, priority 0, 3) Set each of my 3 USWFLEX8 to priority 4096, 8192 & 12288 respectively. This is a tomorrow project, afterwards the network should not struggle to route traffic.

Has the overall number of notifications (calls, email & text) gone up dramatically? I get a stream of calls & texts from healthcare providers, usually involving some level of automation & usually being woefully inefficient; especially when the system hangs up after encountering Google Call Assist.

Today is my last day of work until Monday. Sweet Jebus, I need this break even if tomorrow will be anything but restful.

Good quality sleep is elusive. On average 6+ hours lately with last day over 7 was 11/14 and last day just under 9 was 11/4. I'm starting to feel like David Bowie's character John in The Hunger. It's all Miriam's fault.

Another mystery solved. The "rogue AP" alert in my network OS turned out to be a new Wi-Fi enabled pedestal fan. The lightbulb went on when it was suddenly disconnected from Wi-Fi and wouldn't shut off this morning. Glad it's not anything nefarious.

Today I got a very specific network error, "STP State Flapping". I had no idea what that meant, but after looking it up online it apparently involves a switch port, the ethernet cable or a link setting. This seems to be what's causing the network disconnects. Now to figure out how to fix it.

The fast food of today is nothing like back in the day. The speed and efficiency are long gone. Dumb it down with digital ordering.

At Mom's cardiac surgery follow-up for a checkup on her recent ablation. The doctor is running about 15 minutes behind, which isn't terribly unusual in US healthcare these days. I guess I won't be at work before noon.
I still need to drop paperwork off at my PCP's office and stop at the bank. 😵💫🤷

I get block notifications from a Bluesky list. None of these folks are known to me. I suspect they stumble on my account and block me after disliking something I've posted. No skin off my ass. Maybe if Bluesky had a private account option this wouldn't happen.

2 more internet disconnects overnight (3:38am). These were longer (~7 mins), but also seemed to use 0 bytes of LTE backup data. Others in a reddit forum posting about similar issues. Need to explore changing WAN port, replacing Ethernet and a focus on Docker containers as a possible cause.

The cardiologist's office called to let me know it's safe to keep taking Aleve and Eplerenone because the dose of the latter is considered low. That's good news as my legs were aching tonight; presumably after any Aleve in my system from yesterday is now gone.

I survived Monday at work. Just 2 more days then 4 days off.

I'm absolutely stuffed with Chinese food. That dinner combo meal was too much. Definitely could've satisfied my craving with the small standard combo. Either way, I'm good for a month or two.

Just turned off the super annoying #SimiliarShots in #GooglePhotos. I already get enough unnecessary notifications, emails and text messages! Personally, I don't take enough photos and I almost never share them.

I would really love to know why my MMI keeps telling me to use the configuration wizard. Who else is logged in? There are no other authorized users. I think a password reset is in order.
