Toots are ephemeral, subject to deletion on a whim.

Born at 323 ppm. Living at the crossroads of the Butlerian Jihad and Idiocracy.

I've been terminally online for ~40 years, long before the big endless scroll. I've seen things some people wouldn't believe. 1200 baud modems on fire from Usenet flame wars. I watched c-news servers stutter at the mere mention of Kibo. All those moments will be lost in AI slop, like tears in rain. Time to deshittify.

Ordered Chinese last night. Delivery driver (from the actual restaurant, not a separate service) pulled up in a tiny car.

I always thought all the houses with flags on them were weird in the states. Recently I see a fair number of new flags in of either the provincial Alberta or Canadian. Never both together.

I will ass-u-me that these are separatists and non-separatists respectively. Sad that it's come to this Yankee Doodle Dandy style of virtue signalling.

Also some idjits at the camper sewer dump site waving big Alberta flags at the cars on Mayor Magrath (major road here) today. Maybe they crawled other of the sewer.

They say that Apple's AI initiative and overhaul of Siri is late and has less far less budget than the front runners. That it is dead in the water.

I beg to differ.

Me: Hey Siri, play BBC world news
Siri: Now playing AC/DC Highway to Hell

Me: (Not what I asked for, but accurate...)

Time representation is easy, just use one from the standard(s).

Article Headline: "Getting over the fear of shooting strangers on the streets."

This photography term, ripe for misunderstanding, will never get old.

Boot froze at that stage so I guess itโ€™ll be the hard disk imaging maneuver.

Photos or it didn't happen. It's very very very slow to boot, I'm not holding out much hope it will complete. Best I plan on extracting the hard disk data to an image tomorrow and see what I can do with that.

I thought the loud noises from this little server were from the power supply fan, chassis fan, or maybe the hard disk. Nope, it's the cpu cooler. Sounds a bit like a two stroke chain saw.

Shuffled ram around, no joy. There are a bunch of caps nearby that look like they're leaking a bit. Hmm. Diagnostics sometimes pass, sometimes not.

Maybe I'll just pop the ide drive out and find my ide-to-usb thing, copy to an image and see if a vm can deal with the zfs inside that. Might have to install a Solaris x86 vm.

I haven't worked with solaris or physical sun hardware in a looooong time, but I do have Solaris 10 optical media for sparc and intel here somewhere, and I know I used it to create a vm in the past.

Trying to boot up a Sun V100 thatโ€™s sat disconnected in the basement since we moved 12 years ago.

First I had to find where packrat me stored the sun rj45 to db9 console dongles, and then the old ibm 3151 terminal and its null modem cable and some gender benders andโ€ฆ I can see the LOM. (lights out management)

No go for boot. Diags say bad dimm0. I think thereโ€™s more than one dimm though, as it shows 1500 mb total.

I'm about half way into a novel which I've exited from a reading session with 'meh' several times now.

Can't relate to any of the characters at all, and because of that I don't care about them nor have any interest in finding out how their predicaments resolve.

Good thing it's an e-book and there are dozens of other new-to-me e-books on the device. No shelf space taken up, no book to get rid of via second hand means.

Left my wife at home and went downtown to let another woman grope my butt.

The massage was great!

One of the benefits of having a doorbell camera is seeing the local wildlife making their door to door rounds.
