I’m a little surprised they didn’t got with 1488 soldiers.

There are so many flags right now it’s just a sea of red undulations. Done by design, so that we don’t notice the death of democracy.

Married couples often start looking alike over time.

Yes, but in the end I spent all this time disabling notifications, when I bought the thing to show me them… I just realized I don’t need that alert immediately and in fact led to me ignoring them since they became just another annoyance (phone, computer and watch all told me the same thing). It became a negative productivity tool.

I was so excited about Apple Watch. Thought how great it would be to not have to take my phone out of my pocket anymore; less screen time, right?

No, it’s just this bullshit. More noise, more alerts, more digital cruft. I put the thing on the charger a couple years ago, been there since.

Been thinking I might replay Fallout 3, for some reason been thinking about Operation: Anchorage lately.

First, I love you for this joke. Second, I don’t want to risk pissing off Ron Swanson.

I know right. And the motherfucking cultists in my own family are telling me it’s my fault for trusting the stock market. But these same fucks have told me that’s my only option for retirement because Soc. Sec. Is a “Ponzi scheme”.

We’re setup to fail, we’re only here to produce value that can be stolen.

it’s already done for, the us government that is. I don’t believe we can come back from this, it’s calvinball from here on. rules don’t apply anymore, it’s just vibes and whims of a ketamine fueled nazi and his geriatric anger sycophant.

I’m building services out for my family as things enshittify. Moved the family over to an immich instance, run a family blog on Wordpress (working on rolling my own since it’s over complicated and with all the Wordpress shenanigans…), plex (lifetime account, works for now). I have a number of self-built projects as well, a “momboard” like system that is integrated with my Wordpress blog for access and control, a pi based backup server that lives at my friends house and nails a VPN connection to my router and I’m playing with Meshtastic as an offline communication system for my kids scout troop when we’re camping without cell signal. Lots of home automation with home assistant as well.

I host it all on Debian servers, raspberry pi’s and esp32 devices (Meshtastic and home automation). I used to run kubernoodles but it was more complicated than needed and for my use case, docker, ansible and bash scripts manage it all just fine.

For plain text, either nano on CLI or whatever built in basic text editor comes with LMDE.

Windows I used notepad, from now on I’ll add ++ :)

vscodium fixes the privacy anyway. It’s always open so startup times are no issue for me.

I still prefer to keep a stripped down, basic text editor though. Ah well, I’m not on windows so no big deal.
