If I have something serious, I will set up automatic upgrades. If short downtimes are ok, also with automatic reboots when the kernel updates, but if they are not, with notifications that I should go reboot them.
If it’s not anything serious, whenever I remember to.
Upselling
It’s not bad if you don’t need historical backups. I kinda think I do, so I use https://github.com/rustic-rs/rustic becase rust
Restic (https://github.com/restic/restic) is probably a better choice if you’re not a rust-freak like me.
Ad money.
Appeasing Trump isn’t the thing you should be worried about. If you think he’s the Hitler of this history, you’re vastly misremembering what kind of a person Hitler was.
Vladimir Putin is the source of all of it. He’s the one who put Trump into power, now twice. He’s the one who’s creating all the trouble in Europe and USA. He removed UK from EU. He started a major land war in Europe and is alone playing with the idea of extending the war. I wouldn’t be surprised if he instigated the Gaza War. He’s the one you must not appease.
Trump is just his toy. We should be manipulating Trump, against his master.

Matrix seems to work well. I’m on a smallish non-profit server. I regard it as the premium open-source step forward from IRC.
The worst problem is that there are really no channels that I care to follow.
For the same reason it’s difficult to turn people away from communism. Phlegmatic ignorance.
How do you manipulate Bluesky?
The same way you manipulate Twitter, by tweaking the algorithm.
How do you algorithmically manipulate those 12M people with Mastodon? BTW, Bluesky has almost 40M users.
This will be an amazing gift to open-source devices. Android has been the elephant in the room, open and free enough and too huge to ignore.
When the elephant goes away, a lot of people will be free to innovate.
Yeah, I figured there would be a workaround. Also
>>> (10).years()
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<python-input-0>", line 1, in <module>
(10).years()
^^^^^^^^^^
AttributeError: 'int' object has no attribute 'years'
But the other thing is also: can you add methods to the int class so that they’re available everywhere? I suspect that you cannot in python, at least without significant hackery. And I also suspect that it’s probably something they decided to prevent knowingly.
Ruby is object-oriented, modelled after Smalltalk mostly. So
irb(main):001:0> 10.class
=> Integer
So you’ll just have implement the method “years” on the Integer (or something more generic like Numeric) class and then “ago” on whatever class the years method returned.
You might imagine that you can do something like 10.years().ago() in python but the parser prevents you:
>>> 10.years
File "<python-input-0>", line 1
10.years
^
SyntaxError: invalid decimal literal
Doesn’t seem like it would have to prevent it, back in ruby:
irb(main):001:0> 10.0.class
=> Float
Ruby is a pretty cute language in my opinion, and I find it sad that python kinda drove over it.
How many guards?
Never more than 20.
My NAS is a Raspberry Pi4 with a single consumer-level SSD. My backups sometimes complete.
Taper out, your body and brain will get used it it in about a week or two. If you’re like me life will stop having meaning as a side-effect. My longest time away from coffee was 3 months, and my mind did totally not get used to it in that time.
I have no doubt about coffee being a pretty hard (even if benevolent) drug.
The only way to completely avoid things developed by vibe coding will be to stop using computers of any kind. Go full Thoreau.
Rust is fearlessly upholding the whole thing even without touching it. Incredible!
I didn’t like Outer Wilds.
Canceled should be typed as canceled also in American English. Because the rule is that words with a stress at the end get a double consonant.
