I thought hCaptcha was getting off the rails. Try making an X account using a VPN service!

Buy the dip on bcachefs!

We need prediction markets for Linux kernel development.

Syncthing is also as good as everyone says it is.

...while chasing the clouds away.

It's a crime that Slow Motion by Supertramp isn't available on any of the streaming services. It might even be the Crime of the Century.

hCaptcha is really getting off the rails these days. If you haven't run into one in a while, you're in for a trip.

Hello, IT, have you tried turning it off and back on again?

I finally gave in and tried out Caddy. It's about as great as everyone says it is.

Another minor inconvenience could have been avoided by reading the Arch Linux news feed before upgrading.

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

RIP LocalMonero. You will be missed.

The IBM PC110 (486 palmtop) hosting this website reached 3 years of uptime a couple weeks ago. Impressive! http://pc110.yyzkevin.com/

I'm starting to embrace containers on my PC for software I want to use once without littering my home folder with junk files. It's nice.

Come on guys, can't we just do Btrfs RAID5/6 already?

Come on guys, can't we just do IPv6 already?

https://github.com/lwthiker/curl-impersonate added support for Edge and Safari a while ago and I didn't realize. Very cool!

Finally broke down and installed Pipewire. Bare ALSA is only good if you only use one physical sound card ever. Don't even try Bluetooth.

BunsenLabs is just a delightful distribution.

Playing with Wireguard and network namespaces today. Resisting the urge to redo my server.

My hacky shell pipeline was flawed. Flexo actually saved ~689 MiB of bandwidth, or 35.7% of my total package downloads.

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

TRIM on Btrfs on LUKS on a sparse disk image served with NBD actually works. I love free software.

Spring cleaning came early at McKinley Labs. I just removed 475 unnecessary packages from my laptop totaling ~3GiB. Not bad.

Pro tip: Don't run out of space on Btrfs.

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 word of advice: Never swing and grind at the same time.

Great writeup on New Outlook, even though it's a biased source: https://proton.me/blog/outlook-is-microsofts-new-data-collection-service

I saw a Cybertruck earlier. I'm no fan of Tesla, but that thing is pretty cool.

This is the year of the GNU/Linux desktop

We'll make our own driver! With blackjack, and hookers! https://www.collabora.com/news-and-blog/news-and-events/nvk-holiday-update.html

I didn't realize what I was doing with a command and now my entire music library is tagged as hip-hop. It's time to stop for the night.

This is why people go full Kaczynski. https://weel.bike/

Note to self: Don't restart the NBD daemon while a computer has booted from it.

Another digital license plate sighting today. It's an epidemic!

I just lost 3/4 of a really good blog post by typing :q! without thinking and I'm having a really hard time rewriting it.

Love was changing the minds of pretenders...
