Spent three hours across two sessions this weekend reading documentation, experimenting, and searching the web for a programming solution that in the end only required a single line of code to change.
I often wonder if a formal education in computer science would alleiviate those long periods of hunt and peck learning.
Drive wasn't great. The desktop client ran at 100% CPU on MacOS even when idle.

Gentoo complaints
I'm done with Gentoo. Constantly getting manifest verification mismatches when syncing. When that does work, simple emerge -p world breaks i3/X, creates circular dependencies, and the list goes on.
It's a shame because Gentoo is a great lightweight option for older hardware like i386 and PPC. (Not sure there are any other 32-bit PPC options left.) Used to be rock solid back in the day. Not sure what's happened the last several years. 😞
The most surprising thing about eating fresh veggies straight from the garden is always how warm they are when taking that first bite. #gardening
It can't be overstated how many hours web developers spent trying to bend IE to some semblance of standards compliance. The years in which IE6-9 reigned were rife with frustration across the community of developers championing web standards. .
Still can't believe IE is really officially sunset. It's been a non-issue for several years, but seeing that news yesterday was such a relief. https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2022/06/remembering-internet-explorer-the-now-dead-browser-that-once-powered-the-internet/
I'm writing about Yoshi Sodeoka, a contemporary artist considered to be one of the earliest artists to merge art and the internet. He art directed Word Magazine back in the mid 1990s. https://sodeoka.com/
On the upside, this SSD is super fast. Can’t believe I lived with that slow old hard drive for so long. KDE Neon looks great. Lots of nice little touches. This is my first time using KDE in 10+ years. It’s completely different. https://mastodon.technology/media/yc8S-H04HRuDZjJzbew https://mastodon.technology/media/6iALThGRpjoZ79QiD2Y
This Ventless gas log unit is 23 years old. 😬 Today I disconnected, disassembled, and deep cleaned the unit and walls. Also scrubbed layers and layers of soot off the logs. We’ve lived in the house for 4 years. Prior to cleaning, running this thing stunk and caused my eyes to burn. Now it seems to be good as new! https://mastodon.technology/media/7_OrNmkJs6p4dqp4gIA
