Crap. Was fooling around with a new laptop, one thing led to another, I cloned some repos, did some builds, and before I knew it, I fixed a bug. But I don't have the commit keys on this laptop.

People actually write sentences using the phrase "if you have a quantum computer" in the same tone of voice as "you can clean your windows if you have some white vinegar".

S3E4 may have been the best WOT yet.

Like living in the Wild West.

Proposal to recognize the rube as a currency. As in, I'm a nutrition substacker and I live on a 1000 rube salary.

Well, this is interesting. I have a mercurial repo on many of my laptops, with no apparent upstream. I went to clone it to a new system, and I can't find a source in any of the usual places on the servers where I typically keep such things. I guess I've been cloning directly between laptops all this time? The guerilla repo, avoids authority and centralization.

How's your morning going, ntp friends? Are your peers valid? Is your clock synced? What's your stratum?

I haven't actually used honk on a thinkpad running openbsd for a while, and switched to firefox, so the note in the manual no longer seems accurate.

honk is designed to work with most browsers, but for optimal results it is recommended to use a 2015 or later Thinkpad X1 Carbon with 2560x1440 screen running OpenBSD and chromium at 150% scaling with the dwm window manager. This will enable the main menu to line up just right.

Well, it's possible it's still accurate, but I didn't bother installing chrome before leaving the house, and Firefox appears to scale slightly different, or maybe dpi changed because why wouldn't it be constantly changing, and now the menu isn't perfect.

It's called a laptop because it sits on my lap and runs top.

Include paths dreamed up by the utterly deranged.

The village elders used to tell us stories of how the ancients responded to rising costs with something called prices. We should investigate this lost science.

I need a mural of the honknet team, ala severed.

Okay, so check this out. I decided to play with copilot and uploaded the EBT warning to test transcription. I upload the image and copilot immediately replies with its thoughts on the matter. Then I ask what's it say, and now it insists that it can't read images. This is what the paperclip maxiphobes are so scared of?

Apparently bacon is a basic human right. Unlike toasted bread.

Parking lot treasures. Somebody had quite the night.

All the laptops at Best Buy have e-ink price tags. I have not observed the prices changing as I walk around, but I have observed the screens are low res and the smaller text is completely illegible.

On my way to the buy of best to responsibly dispose of the zenbook when I realize I didn't wipe the hard drive, so now I'm carrying it down the sidewalk wide open while that runs. Yes, that's right folks, very important work going on here, excuse me, excuse me, clear a path, urgent tasks in progress.

Well crap, I'm looking at my other (newer) thinkpad, with a missing key cap, and thinking it's long overdue for me to fix that, but also not that long, right? It was two years ago.

Two days until I find out if this magical doodad actually works. The juice must flow.

I think tomorrow I will take the 2015 X1 carbon out for a walk. It could use some fresh air for its tenth birthday.

In light of last night's adventure with the swollen battery, I'm now going through the house and finding all the old laptops and either bringing them up to date and giving them a full charge health assessment, complete with openbsd reinstall, or putting them in the danger pile.

The city of Philadelphia could really use an ejunk dropoff that's not out in the borderlands.

Making good progress on curing my laptop acquisition addiction. The zenbook is now cooked, with a swollen battery, and I soft bricked my pixelbook trying to install openbsd. So that's two down, but so many more to go.

Found a new germ tv show to watch: The Island. Lord of the flies with a cool soundtrack. Keine Eltern, keine Regeln.

Dusted off an old zenbook and discovered it's been hitting the gym. The battery is quite swole, as the kids would say.
