Update 1: Secretary of State officially responded to NBC about this. No new answers, and pronises that further information will be shared via "other channels".

Original: Heads up for folk that were looking to get a passport - it looks like it's too late at this point for a gender marker change with what's being reported on Colorado Name Change Project and Reddit.
If you haven't changed the marker legally elsewhere you'd be able to get a passport still, from what I can see. If you've legally changed it.. Not sure of what actions to take. According to Them.us the press secretary stated that it just needs the gender marker that's on the birth certificate, but I can't validate anything.
For those with a current passport - hold onto it if it isn't expired/expiring. It looks like you do not want to change the gender marker at this point with the comments on the Reddit post saying their applications are showing rejected statuses. According to Them.us they're not making this retroactive so you should be okay with your current passport.
Feel free to boost this post.
If anyone has more sources or information, I'll edit it into this post.

Whelp, this is the first time I've had my desktop's graphics card have a issue in the entire time I've built computers. The middle fan bearing gave up the ghost and barely spins, and it's out of warranty.
Fortunately I found a replacement fan, and with how much I have to tear it apart I'll have to redo the thermal bonding. I'm seeing a lot of posts saying that replacing it all makes the card run ~15°C cooler, so it'll be a good thing. But I probably shouldn't play Satisfactory until then...

Coworkers are sending me bird memes and are probably going to learn far too much about me at this rate.

I don't think anything has made the stakes of the election more real than a trans friend sending a photo with what they'll celebrate in celebration if Harris wins, and the poison they're drinking if Trump wins.
I can only hope that tomorrow (and everything that follows from voting) goes the right way.

Got the talons all finished up! They have a bonus perk of working on capacitive touchscreens, so I won't have to take the gloves off for that.
Now I just have to design and make the gloves.

Decided to move my pihole onto the NAS since what I was asking out of the SBC I guess was too much for it.
Decided to give pure Debian a spin for the new VM, and..
I can't believe I now have a Linux Opinion™, but everything about the UX with Debian is awful. Now I get why there's so many branches fixing it.

Some of the photos from the Butterfly Pavilion today! Two from very old lens, and two with modern glass. Anything inside tanks didn't work out all that well, but I figured that'd be the case this time around. Just means I need another trip~

In my adventures of constantly poking at computer networking I don't understand, I've finally gotten some of the things to work properly.
So now I have a Tailscale VPN setup between all of my devices I can put it on. Along with that, I got a PiHole to be the exit node, completely bypassing Comcast's draconian 'you can't control your modem/router/DNS' rules. If I put an external VPN on top of this, I get to escape their grasp entirely~
This comes with the perk that I now have a working PiHole for my phone even away from home! It also comes with the curse that I've put Tailscale's and PiHole's names together and that's just going to be the exit node name forever now.
