I’m trapped in the slowest Taco Bell drive thru line on the planet. Send help.

I don’t have a ton of rules for my kids to follow.

But not watching their shows on my streaming profiles is one.

And they just. Can’t. Do. It.

I had to run an errand this morning near Micro Center, so I dropped in around opening. Stumbled upon a fresh shipment of Nvidia RTX 3070 cards so I bought one (they limit you) — but I don’t know what to do with it now.

Siri just tried to auto correct “come vacuum” to “coke vaccine” 💉 I was not aware that was something you could do. 🤨

Your regular reminder that it’s not necessary to have an opinion (shared or not) on everything.

I almost forgot how much of a joy planning holiday events with extended family was.

Any possible way we could go back into lockdown this weekend?

Random Person: Me: Rando: You know what? I think these masks are all about government control. I don’t even wear them. And, I’d like to see who’s really died from this, who brought this, minorities, people in inner cities. Me: … You know this the line for the Chinese restaurant?

AirTags work. Had my kids hide one in the house three times and was able to find it within a few minutes. It’s complicated a bit by having a multi-level home.

There are some phrases that when I do a GIPHY search, that accidentally return soft-core porn, and I have no idea why.

Dear IOT device manufacturers, can we please make it so the only way to change the Wifi password to a device is NOT to perform a factory reset?

I rearranged my desk a few weeks ago, it was perfect.

I rearranged my desk a few minutes ago, it’s now perfect.

I’ll rearrange my desk in a few weeks, it’ll be perfect.

The only thing I really need to know about this European Super League is if it has any impact on the next season of Ted Lasso.

Anyone who’s had their second Covid vax in a different arm have a tingling sensation in their original injection site?

My wife thinks I’m imagining it. I’m pretty sure it’s for real.

Gravity Updated

Just under a year ago I started working on a side project, which I talked about here, called Gravity Sync.The basic premise was to create a script that would synchronize two Pi-hole 5.0 instances. What started out as a few lines of bash code though has grown into something kind of crazy, and has been a fun experiment in (re)learning how to code. echo 'Copying gravity.db from HA primary' rsync -e 'ssh -p 22' ubuntu@192.

Being vaccinated does not mean you should make changes to prod at 5pm on a Friday.

We’ve now reserved two different Airbnb/FRBO for this summer, big house in remote location with a pool for us and our COVID Pod family to vacation at.

They’ve both been sold and cancelled on us. 🙄

I’ve reached the point in maintaining my Gravity Sync script where even though I’m the sole maintainer and have written 98% of the code, there are things that I assume the script works in a specific way but when I go look at it, realize “nope, it doesn’t do that at all.”

I updated my iPad Pro to the latest iOS beta last week, and it killed my Magic Keyboard. I’ve tried reupgrading, restoring, downgrading to stable iOS to no success.

Going to see about getting it swapped out tomorrow. The iPad is so much less useful for me without this accessory.

I love this — “You don’t know what’s going on in people’s lives” kottke.org/21/03/you-dont…

I haven’t had a reason to wear a collared shirt, nice pants, or put product in my hair for over a year. But I think going out to get my #fauciouchie is a good enough of a reason as any.
