Today's project: Put 2 failing hard drives in RAID 0 and boot from it. What could go wrong?

Since install, Flexo has saved ~417 MiB of bandwidth, or 21.7% of my total package downloads in that time.

Zoom (2001) is Jeff Lynne's ELO before ELO was "Jeff Lynne's". There are some great songs on there. It's a shame the sound is so awful.

A 21 year old bug in Firefox just wasted half an hour of my life.

I was going to say it was the second greatest, but the Epic Games GitHub Mail Disaster of 2022 was a pull request.

Great blog post. I've been thinking about this, just couldn't put it into words. https://seirdy.one/posts/2022/06/25/two-types-of-privacy/

It's amazing that Framework, a company that designed its own laptop, can't avoid breaking its RSS feed every 2 weeks. Unsubscribed!

YouTube has stopped youtube-dl from circumventing age restriction. https://github.com/ytdl-org/youtube-dl/issues/28578

Almost been 24 hours. I don't have control of my domain. GoDaddy shows it for sale. $5000 instead of $16. Contacting support in the morning.

Okay, IN MY DEFENSE: It is rare (and becoming more rare) to find a 2+2 letter domain that you don't have to pay hundreds of dollars for.

I am now the proud owner of the domain 'mck.cx'. This is only the 2nd domain I've bought without a purpose, but I'm still part of the club.

My 9.5KB plain text feed is also getting up there. I've been thinking about adding a feed with only recent posts. Last 25 or 30, probably.

Live.js is neat, but I don't know why you would include it in the document. I just put it in a userscript for 127.0.0.1. https://livejs.com/

"72% of people feel that almost all of what they do online is being tracked by advertisers" Wow Google, I wonder why they feel that way.

The 1.17 update to Minecraft will have some interesting features, but I don't really see myself playing a lot of anything newer than 1.12.2.
