At this point, it could still go either way. Make no mistake, we’ve already done, and will continue to do, profound damage to the environment and global climate that will take generations to reverse (if that’s even possible). That said, I think it’s going to need to get seriously worse before the world’s largest polluters have no choice but to go against the monied interests in fossil fuels and plastics. Like many very wealthy people are going to have to be directly affected by this is always that can’t be disingenuously explained away.

Often when tenants lose keys to a deadbolt, a shady landlord or superintendent will say the knob lock is “good enough” to avoid paying to have the deadbolt replaced. Consequently, tenants might install their own deadbolts.

You might ask, why not just replace the existing lock!? Well, the super is going to call a locksmith to do that, and the locksmith can charge more for installing a new lock rather than replacing the old one. Plus, an extra lock when everyone’s is home for the evening == extra security.

Thanks, it is. TBH, I’ve known it was coming. We took him to a neurologist today and she was getting red-eyed talking to us. Rough day all around.

American here. I am numb, and profoundly sad for my country.

ETA, I also learned today that I’m probably going to be putting my dog down in a week or two. That will be the second one this year.

My week could be better.

The US in 3-days: “Hold my beer.”

My wife and I increasingly wish we lived overseas!

I didn’t think about that. I’ve only ever used it for 2 things, and only one of them was a new number. That was over 10-years ago.

Honestly, I’ve been using GVoice for a long time as a replacement for my land line. It doesn’t even ring anywhere. It’s the number we give for things like gas rewards and such. It’s been great. I’m actually amazed Google hasn’t killed or enshitified it yet.

Lately I’ve been seeing a lot of people just throwing trash out their car windows. It’s become disturbingly common and I really want to scream at the that the world is not their trashcan. I don’t, because I really think I would get shot.

… in bed?

I have similar leanings. Every election cycle there’s a growing part of my brain that just wants to vote for the craziest people on the ballot in hopes that they will succeed in burning it all down.

Since ,my company are such sticklers about not going over our daily meal limit while on travel, and have as yet ignored our requests to just do per diem or use the total from the trip, I often purchase gift cards to fill out an underspent day on travel. An Apple Card or something for some restaurant where my wife likes to get lunch.

A wake-up call that will be, once again, acknowledged with the snooze button.

Serves me right for typing w/o my glasses on! I guess there could be a fun answer to what “raging a post” might entail, but I can’t think of one. Corrected.

I don’t see it mentioned, so maybe it’s not a popular thing, but the ability to tag a post. Often time this can be annoying, but it can help in filtering posts in certain types of communities.

I don’t. I usually search for, e.g., nmcli bridge setup

Handy primer, but also out of date, especially for RHEL and RHEL-adjacent. For one thing, they’re all in on NetworkManager. The commands outlined in the article aren’t permanent, and it doesn’t go over ways to make them permanent. Secondly, teaming is deprecated by RH since the guy who maintained the driver quit.

Too quickly! I have to travel for work next week, and the following week, and I’m liking being home!

It is the world’s wealthiest third world country.
