Perhaps the only thing worse than having the flu is cleaning up afterwards. Being sick while living alone really sucks.

I know it's a common tradition, but I still think one of the most criminal things you can do is a feature release in a forum thread.

Doing advent of code is very fun but I have two weeks of after-hour deploys and surgery that'll take me out for three days so I am going to have to tragically pass

When did people start saying casually that they're doing Netflix and chill? Is it acceptable now to say "Yeah, I'm fucking"? Do they expect me *not* to think that's what they're doing?

I wired home assistant into prometheus and grafana last night. Any good idea for graphs? I have state timelines for my lights and motion sensors, and time series for the temperature and humidity sensors.

I wish there was some way I could get the cool rendering of plantuml without the bizarre of their language and their shockingly out-of-date and anemic documentation. And let's not even get into how error messages get reported....

I really wish tool authors would tell me what format their config files are in so I can set my editor up and I don't end up reading the source and finding out that it's result=$(grep -E "^\s*$key\s*=\s*" "$config_path" | head | sed -e 's/^[^=]*= *//' -e 's/^[[:space:]]*//' -e 's/[[:space:]]*$//')

Absolutely crushed to hear about Juan Mendez (Silent Servant) and Luiz Vasquez (The Soft Moon) passing. Amazing artists with so much more to accomplish in life.

Ever watch two people you know moderately well, who don't presumably know each other, get into a fight online? Definitely a bizarre occurrence.

The desire to run Linux as desktop operating system follows a bell curve related to your knowledge about Linux; the desire is the least if know nothing or a lot about it.

Any idea why a pihole running in a VM on proxmox would have its network stack die every 24 hours or so? I can log back in and restart networking, but I would rather not have a critical network service go down.

has anyone been able to massage a Relax NG Compact schema into a RDBMS schema of any sort, or is this a fool's errand? I've already done some work with jing and trang. I feel like I'm speaking the Old Tongue here.

Feeling pretty great about getting my ubiquiti gear up and running but also feel a bit weird that it requires two small VMs to work effectively (controller, pihole). Next step is going to be a wireguard VPN and an even more complicated VM setup to replace my home assistant box.
