I thought the ravages of time might have claimed my HP 100LX, but then it booted up fine after I removed the CF Card adapter I had installed. Very odd 🤔

We did a cold weather road trip with our EV and forgot to turn the heat down. We made it home with 20 something miles of range left 😅

I’m surprised that there doesn’t seem to be a maintained graphical git client on Android. Thank goodness for Termux 🤷🏻‍♂️

Do they do any quality control on modern smoke detectors?! I swear we’ve gone through like 6 in the past 3 years

Having a great time customizing my Arch install. Seeing how much / little it takes to get to the point of being able to do my usual stuff with it

Put in my bid for work this fall, kind of dreading to see which of my 7 choices I end up with 😅

Omg it seriously took 6 tries but I finally have a booting Arch install
