Most everything in the house is cleaned so I'd don't have any ugly surprises when I get back from Texas. Still got several loads of dishes to do, but hopefully it'll all be done by tomorrow.

The carbon in my DNA was forged in the heart of a star. The iron in my blood was made in a supernova explosion. The microplastics in my brain are from used condoms made out of ancient plankton corpse goop. Everything is one.

While we may not all agree on wether the Cowboy Bebop live action show was good or not (I'm squarely in the It Was Good camp), I think we can all agree the music was FANTASTIC.

Just read a headline that Myst is 30 years old and I have disintegrated into dust

In retrospect, the most unrealistic part of V for Vendetta was it showed people rioting for better protection after only 80,000 people died of a virus

help I accidentally ran tartx instead of startx and now my display server is all sour. anyone know how to fix this

In a grocery store on Saturday morning, I overheard two women with a small child talking about how a US government shutdown would mean that the WIC program, which helps to ensure that children have enough food to eat, is immediately suspended.

It turns out that almost exactly a decade after writing about donating to food banks during such a shutdown, I am still incandescently furious about this.

This sucks so much. I kept telling numerous people " #discord is NOT a forum, it is an IRC app, stop building your communities in it around stuff that needs to be found with a search engine and archived, it's a bad idea for numerous reasons including the overpopulation of server topics in an app that has a 100 server limit" but nobody listened. I hate being right.

We're about to have yet ANOTHER internet library of alexandria situation assuming this shit retroactively applies to existing stuff.

Where the heck are the wrestlers

So, for my trip to Texas, I plan to leave my PC on so I can connect back to it as needed via VPN. I THINK I've got everything set up on it.

If the power goes out, the UPS runs to keep it running, and even if it runs out, once the power comes back up, the PC should as well. My main concern is if my IP changes over the course of a power outage. It shouldn't. I've never had an IP change before, but I've also never paid for a static IP.

I think my setup should work if the IP changes. My router actually has an app that will tell me my global IP on my phone from anywhere. But the VPN software is set to the global IP I have right now. I'm not sure it'll work if it changes. (I mean, my IP on the PC itself is my local IP, the router should handle the traffic no matter what IP it switches to).

Hopefully, there won't be a problem there and I'll have access to my network no matter where I am.

Thoughts Before Bed

"'Let me help.' A hundred years or so from now, I believe, a famous novelist will write a classic using that theme. He'll recommend those three words even over 'I love you.'"
