@tanaki No, that was the special edition. This is unfortunately the new 2028 refresh for everyone.

How do Slack users live without quote reply? This seems like such a basic feature.

@tanaki If you were the most vain person on the planet, what would you do to the new passport design?

@tanaki Should be easy to guess

Well, I guess I’m renewing my passport a little early now…

I managed to set off fall detection on the Apple watch. Also learned that you can’t acknowledge it in water mode.

Well… if anyone has a FC room they don’t need, hit me up.

Once again, I don’t seem to know anyone who actually was selected for the FC room lottery.

@CursedSilicon The sunscreen is weird. Making soap from tallow is a practice that is thousands of years old, though.

There was decent visibility lower down. #PNW #hiking

View from the trail looking out into a valley. On the far aide, a rocky jagged ridge protrudes upwards from a slope covered in scree, evergreen trees, and shrubby vegetation. Dark green, light green, orange, red, brown, and yellow colors are visible in the vegetation.

The scramble gains about 600 ft over the last 0.6 miles. Foot and hand holds were not a problem, although there was a lot of loose rock. The route is climber’s right of the ridge. Falling would entail sliding along the rocky surface (“human cheese grater”) before a 1,000 ft drop. #PNW #hiking

View looking back down at the trail from above the main portion of the scramble. The ridge extends down to the left with the rocky scramble surface extending down to the left. The scramble ends where the ridge appears to level off. The trail continues into a forested section that disappears into the clouds. Only the scramble and a small area of trees is visible due to the cloud cover.

View looking up at the trail from below the main portion of the scramble. The ridge extends up to the right with the rocky scramble surface extending down to the right. The terrain disappears into the clouds.

View looking straight down along the main portion of the scramble surface. It appears as a steep and rocky but relatively flat surface that disappears into the clouds below. The ridge the trail sits on can be seen down below to the right.

View looking along the ridge up towards the butte from just above the main portion of the scramble. The remaining portion of the scramble is less uniform. The terrain disappears into the clouds in the distance.

McClellan Butte. 7 mi, 3,195 ft (from FR 9020). #PNW #hiking Finally cleared to hike again! Unfortunately, the peak was in the clouds the entire time I was up there. Still enjoyable, though. The class 3 scramble at the top was a nice feature.

Photo of the peak. It is covered in sharp chunks of rock of various sizes and sparse shrubby vegetation. Visibility is limited to about 200 ft due to clouds, so nothing else is visible.

View looking down the ridge off the northeast end of the butte. The ridge is like a narrow fin of rock that descends quickly out of sight through the clouds.

View looking north from the butte. The I90 corridor is visible about 3,600 ft below through gaps in the clouds.

View of the butte from the closest switchback before the scramble. It appears as a jagged rocky peak that disappears into the clouds. The terrain near the viewer is covered in moss and shrubby plants.

Classic PNW weather

Photo from the perspective of a person sitting on a rock ledge with their feet hanging over the edge. The rock ledge is visible at the bottom of frame, sparsely covered with lichen and moss. The person is wearing long, gray pants and leather boots with orange and black laces. The rest of the frame is simply gray due to fog.

Managed to fuck up my VPS networking with a wireguard config change so bad that I had to boot it using a recovery ISO to undo it.

I like how the Seattle area, an area known for rain, can not handle a little rain without drive times more than doubling.

CPB: “Are you [full name]”? “Yes” “Did you apply for ABTC?” “Yes” “Okay, talk with my CBSA partner” CBSA: “Yea, we don’t really have anything to do with ABTC” Could have been an email.

I made a drink called The Mastodon for a tiki party this evening and it was actually great.

View from the web dashboard. Kind of funny that you can easily spot the two periods.

Screenshot from the app.airgradient.com dashboard showing CO2 over the last 48 hours. The cycling from the periodic force air exchange the previous night and the spike from no air exchange the preceding night are clearly visible.

@zorrito.bsky.social I’m so happy to see you bridged to Mastodon!

Turns out, air changeover in bedrooms is important.

Screenshot of AirGradient’s app showing CO2 levels rising from under 900 ppm to over 1500 ppm in about two hours.

Screenshot of AirGradient’s app showing CO2 levels oscillating between around 600 to 700 ppm every half hour.

CBP website has incorrect information. If you have NEXUS, you can only go to a NEXUS enrollment center. There are very few NEXUS enrollment centers, in comparison with “any CBP Trusted Traveler enrollment center”, and they are basically only on the US-Canada border.

Screenshot from cbp.gov that reads:

If I am already a member of a CBP trusted traveler program, do I still have to visit an enrollment center to complete my U.S. APEC Business Travel Card application?

Yes, once CBP determines you are eligible to participate in the APEC program you must provide an electronic signature that will be printed on the APEC Business Travel Card. You can complete the interview/signature collection process via Enrollment on Arrival when returning to the U.S. from an international flight or at any CBP Trusted Traveler enrollment center, no appointment necessary.

@Apatapa It’s even better when it’s ambiguous if it is a unit of weight or volume.
