Went to go do some additional clean-up on what's left of my Twitter/X accounts and GOOD FREAKING $DIETY is it awful over there. So much garbage nonesense being shoved in your feed you didn't follow / track / anything.

This might not be perfect, but good lord it's about infinitely better than that.

Here's a can of worm to open: does anyone have an HTML linter they don't want to light on fire, stab, and yeet off a cliff into the sun?

You know, asking for a friend...

No. No systemd-resolved IS NOT THE SOLUTION

good freaking grief, it's caused me so much stupid of late it's almost as bad as systemd-timesyncd.

I don't mind the idea of having frameworks, but I sure as heck have problems with assuming they know what's what and then introducing something that breaks so hard it's a mess.

Well, on the lookout for a new place for the doggo butt to go for his weekly dog day care. Turns out the place we've been with is hemorrhaging staff due to the new owner's boyfriend literally abusing the dogs (and lets be frank, we know where that ends with people). Cops have been involved, and lots of badness all around, and the staff (which we DO trust) literally was handing out recommendations on places to go that aren't them, which you know is a good sign...

Couple of test dates setup sighs not what I had on my 2025 bingo card

It's a somewhat tireless / unloved job of running infrastructure.

Doubly so when it's the kid's Palworld server that's wandered off into a crash loop and he keeps asking every, literally, 10 seconds if it's fixed yet like you can just flick a switch and it all gets fixed/better.

sighs

It's always amusing when I point out that kernel developers are/were far more forgiving users than my own kiddo ;-)

Reminder: doing a major software release that likely has compatibility breaking changes in it between ~ December 24th and ~ January 6th: seriously jerk move.

Bonus points: the breaking change, while technically more spec compliant, was completely unannounced.

This reminder brought to you by me having to work on a, thankfully trivial, patch on something I shouldn't need to be working on RIGHT NOW

I REALLY wish we could get the "ignore mirror" re-added back to yum/dnf in Fedora. I've a couple of mirrors that are STUPIDLY slow and just cause problems. No idea why, kinda don't care but for the record:

is the problem entity, and that mirrorlist operation has a whole slew of fcix mirrors in it that I KNOW are infinitely faster than sub 1kbps

Long shot: do I know anyone working on @Blender ? Mirrors are acting all kinds of wonky, and wondering if they could possibly use some mirror.fcix.net fun

Going to try this on a couple of places: So I've got Sketchup, I generally like it for my 3D modeling needs, it works well enough. Few gotchas here and there but, solid.

Biggest problem is I'm on the last version before it went all wonky pricing wise, and it's starting to show it's age sigh

I was hoping for an obvious open source version, but I'm not really seeing it. Blender is infinitely too complicated for my quick needs, FreeCad might work out but I haven't tried to make something new in it.

What's out there, should I just accept I'm paying Sketchup even though I'd rather take that money and give it to an FOSS code base?

Sadness my Shiit Hel's USB interface seems to have given up the ghost. So I guess that's on the stack of "see if I can fix it" things.

This means I got myself a Christmas present of a Shiit Gunnr.

Have to see how it fits when it gets here but it seems slightly nicer for many reasons.

Google Authenticator now REQUIRES you to use an account

AND clearly pre-uploads all your codes and wipes them if you don't want to play that game?!

When you can mash / plead / beat the templating engine into doing what you want in #HomeAssistant it is incredibly powerful.

Good freaking grief it took far too much effort to make an average of a dynamic set of sensors (Air Quality sensors inside my house).

goes and installs chrony to have time stop being stupid

Not many will say it but I will: Optane was/is amazing for the use cases it's good for, which is mostly high write traffic things like caches and swap space, etc. If it had been marketed better into those kinds of spaces, heck even actively put on spinning rust drives or other nvme drives as intermediate storage, it would have done better.

Pity really, was just pondering shared swap space drives for VMs and the obvious choice would be a ~2TB Optane drive and just put them all on there (yeah, yeah, single point of failure, etc but lets be honest this is for my home setup recovering the shared swap isn't that hard)
