[sigh] Called the healthfinder customer support again, to seek clarification on how badly I've screwed things up. Was told I can use the medicaid I'm enrolled in for this month. Suspicious of that. Tried to get clarification on how I should be declaring my now-entirely-past income. Eventually […]

A musician I discovered via tt, whose music I quite enjoyed, fell off the internet for a while, left her manager, went broke, found love, lost a lot of weight, etc etc life changing stuff... is back and making music again... and I hate it. I feel bad, but, yeah, I don't like any of the new stuff […]

Very annoyed with my brain. The other day it occurred me that there was something for which I needed a specifically sized rubber band. While cleaning yesterday, I found a rubber band that was exactly the right size. But now I can’t remember what it was I needed it for.

Took a nice leisurely drive down to Stanwood, bought six cupcakes and a cookie, came back home via Wendy’s. Nice weather.

Decided I don't want to go to the bakery I was planning to try, but DO want to go to another one, down in Stanwood, but having difficulty getting my ambition moving.

Was reminded a couple weeks ago of my Killian’s Irish Red pint mug, and switched to using that as my primary drinking vessel. Yesterday I rediscovered my 1L Erlenmeyer flask, and switched to that. I may be slightly overhydrated.

I logged in to LinkedIn to see a page full of people praising DHH, got mad, and wrote this. Less than 12 hours later I got an email telling me "Your post doesn’t comply with our Professional Community Policies on bullying and harassment. It’s been removed […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

A LinkedIn post from me that reads "DHH is openly a Nazi. You should not promote anything he is doing or relay his opinions on software development. It is shocking to me when I open this app and see people casually discussing his opinions on AI or interface design or whatever, as if he were a "thought leader". He is an open advocate for mass murder. It doesn't matter what else he thinks, do not promote his ideas." followed by the text "Only you can see this post because this content goes against our Professional Community Policies."

Just learned my ex-employer is switching insurance AND pbm.. Cigna and OptumRX. So, uh, yeah, I think using COBRA would be a bad idea, given that last time I was on Cigna, they declared I was using too much insulin and they weren't going to pay for it anymore.

I remembered what it was I meant to do yesterday: there’s a bakery I wanted to check out. So I set a reminder to do it today. [looks outside] Maybe I’ll wait until tomorrow.

Good and proper rain this morning. Not hard, but real. And most of the night, too, based on listening to it while desperately trying to fall asleep until 4 AM.

Gave Vikunja another chance. Figured I could transform the json Trello will export into the csv Vik will import. Except it ignores the Project field and doesn't support a List field, so there's no way to retain the kanban structure AT ALL. What completely shit software. I have one more trick up […]

I feel like I had something planned for tomorrow. Or something I needed to do, or was going to do, or wanted to do? I've since put in a grocery order, so picking that up is on the list now, but that wasn't it, because I was trying to remember while I was putting the order in. Does anybody […]

The HuggingFace hack is like the most overt, offensive example of this pattern. "We did a bunch of federal crimes. Oops I mean A ROBOT did a bunch of federal crimes, I'm touching my nose, you can't put me in jail for a premeditated CFAAA violation"

Replaced the signing key for my APT server. The old one was from 2009, oof. The hardest part was creating the new one, actually installing it on all the servers is merely tedious (I'm doing each one semi-manually for paranoia's sake)

As the book progresses, I’m having what I can only describe as flash-forwards. I’m thinking either I have, in fact, read it before, and simply don’t remember, or I’ve read significant chunks near the end, as a result of them being referenced by other materials.

I’m trying to figure out if I have any hope to spend today. Put another way, do I go out and buy lottery tickets and dinner, or continue to vegetate? I got my severance pay today. I suspect that may be the source of the mood poisoning.

So, it looks like the GPD Micropc 2 is now adequately supported by Linux, and I’ve verified I can get at least a couple distros to boot on Ilos. But I need to hook it up to an external monitor before I commit to installing anything; the tiny vertical screen is painful to try to use. I may end […]

I've got two alarms about to go off to remind me to do things I wanted to do today. I don't even want to get out of bed. Or continue breathing, particularly. Some of it's just poor sleep. Some of it isn't.
