And it freezes well.

B: was nice for copying things onto a second floppy.

It also tastes like soap to me, but apparently I like the taste. (I don’t know if I have the cilantro soap gene, just that cilantro is super tasty and tastes like soap)

Mine are nested, because the old desktop folder lives on the desktop. I haven’t yet hit a limit for how many characters Windows allows in a directory structure. (I know there was one on previous versions of Windows, not sure about the current one)

yes, but how do I compare my resting heartrate to someone else’s without someone borrowing someone else’s sandglass? Is 130 beats per glass high or low?

A basis for comparison is very useful.

My library has a quiet floor, but the rest are good places for students to get together to study and do group projects.

There’s also study rooms you can borrow if you need a door between you and the world.

no, no, kissing leads to dancing which leads to babies

Minutes are a useful concept when I’m measuring my heartrate. Otherwise, I wouldn’t know how many beats per … something … I was hitting.

I appreciate the suggestions, but last I heard we were looking at the sort of basic battery-operated doorbell you install using 3m strips at your 1890s triple-decker college apartment, no camera or anything half as fancy. I’d be happy with a door knocker (low tech and reliable) if the HOA wouldn’t have kittens.

(I know, I know, HOA, but the condo is so much cheaper than renting, and shared governance makes sense when you share a roof.)

I have a ring camera. It came with the townhouse and it sucks. We’re considering replacing it because it doesn’t even consistently work as a door bell because either we keep needing to charge it or it’s on too crowded a wireless band, not sure which.

Did you know you have to subscribe to even record videos? Screw that.

Also the privacy concerns, but that ship has sailed in my particular case because both my nextdoor neighbors have ring cameras, as well as at least 3 units across the street.

My pup was shivering, upset, very in pain. Got him to the vet. He was howling, making noises I’ve never heard him make before. I literally thought he was dying.

Turns out he had gas. Vet had us pick up baby gasx. One big poop later and he was fine.

Oh yeah, I was teasing about the php. From what I’ve read it’s wicked hard to real-world implement an attack using it.

Scrapers, I’d believe. They’ve been fierce lately.

So you’re saying this might all be because of AI (which found the security flaw in PHP, which caused the maintenance, which happened sometime around when the server went down). Sounds fair to me.

💕 Seriously, thanks for the update and I know sysadmining can be a stressy job. Take care of yourself.

Well, I was thinking of moving to Linux full-time anyway now that my Windows install is obsolete. Any reason to avoid this distro? Past experience is with Ubuntu, Gentoo, and SuSE. I mostly game.

About 18x8 inches. Not to worry, I have a classroom-sized whiteboard as a backup.

I have a whiteboard on my desk. It’s the only effective “to do” list I’ve found, for me. It’s covered in chicken scratching. I erase stuff as I do them.
