Just updated a mail server over an SSH tunnel forwarded from my home desktop via #Tailscale while on my phone in the back of a #Lyft.

This is living in the future.

I rebooted and things seem ... Normal again?

I was only sitting on 4 days of uptime, tho. This was weird...

OK Braintrust, I need your help.

I have a Launch keyboard connected to my Thelio desktop shared with my Serval laptop using Synergy. Typing speed on the Serval is just fine - it keeps up with me perfectly.

But when I type on my primary machine (the desktop) the keys lag behind. Like a lot.

"The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog." -> the text editor is only to "j" when I stop typing.

Any thoughts on diagnosing/fixing the problem?

I was excited for a new Star Trek "film" but 20 minutes in and I have no idea what Section 31 is trying to be.

It's ... so generic. Too much needless exposition. I ... don't get it. I'm sure someone else might enjoy it, but not me. Moving on.

"What kind of husband goes shopping with his wife?"

Is ... is that really the critique anyone would want to offer? Isn't this the same person who claims "toxic masculinity" is a woke fiction?

SMH at anyone who still gives this guy airtime. He's so full of **** I can smell it from here.

Someone created a #PayPal account tied to a bogus/catchall email address I have set up. I feel bad for them. Especially since I can't get PayPal to close the account. 😞

Computers were a mistake ...

Once upon a time, the tax deductions for investing in a 529 savings plan incentivized planning for college. Then Ted Cruz pushed forward changes in how they could be used.

Now? No federal deduction. And my state deduction maxes out at $360.

The remaining incentive? I want my kids to have a quality education. But no tax benefits makes it harder than putting money elsewhere.

"the Office assessed that the admissible evidence was sufficient to obtain and sustain a conviction at trial."

This will come back to haunt us ...

Just watched a text conversation devolve into "you're a bot" "no you're a bot" then an actual "hey mods, I think this is an LLM" abuse report and ... wow ...

Never did I ever think I'd be subject to proving I can pass the Turing test just to have a conversation ...

If a product that was built on misappropriating private IP is being sold at an unsustainable price leading into a net loss for every new sign up ...

WTH would anyone in their right mind use it? How do you think they're subsidizing the losses?!?!?

I'm so sick of drama.

And there's so freaking much of it right now that, no, this isn't directed at any one person. The #dayjob has been a mess all week. This level of energy isn't sustainable.

I have memories of doing timed tests of multiplication tables in first grade. However, the math my second grader is being taught ... is nowhere near that rigorous.

Seriously? Subtracting 1 and 0 is as far as they've gotten so far? Multiplication will allegedly come later this spring...

Our kids deserve better than that.

Installing a package written in one language and, during the compilation step, it complains that I don't have support for an entirely different language on the machine.

Computers were a mistake.

https://www.manton.org/2024/12/21/i-support-the.html This is written far better than I could've managed but I think captures a lot of my thoughts quite well regardless.

My wife asked my mom (who was watching the kids) "didn't M tell you she lost her headbands?"

My daughter has gotten in trouble and taking away her new headbands was the punishment. She hadn't told that to Nana, just that "I lost them."

"No, but that's ok. I got her new ones."

'Lost' has two different meanings here. And neither party realized the misunderstanding until I stopped them both to explain it. Plain language is anything but unambiguous.

My daughter has been dreading going back to school next week. She's enjoyed her time off.

I showed her this video https://youtube.com/shorts/trGsFRV8HLM?si=dQ71GZcMJHbsWTJW explaining that she'll be able to learn about electricity and magnetism. Now she can't wait to go back 😉
