have a friendly reminder to do your backups 😇
My kids playing a game with me:
Them: 1+1 is? Me: 2
Them: 2+2 is? Me: 4
4+4 is? 8
8+8 is? 16...
Ooooh, they don't realize I can go on and on and on... They gave up eventually :)

Wired beats wireless, always.
"solved it" by restarting the Wifi by a timer every 5min, a software equivalent of https://xkcd.com/1495/

how to talk to your child about hosting a fediverse instance
USB WiFi dongles are so unreliable, to the point of locking up the Linux kernel needing a restart to resolve.
Back online finally, thunderstorm and brownout caused my router with all custom setup to factory reset.
Have a rourer config backup! I didn't and learned my lesson.

@fribbledom never not use mosh!
"ZFS has very simple administration, you need exactly 2 commands to manage your entire storage configuration".
Well, technically, my entire OS has a single command to do *everything* - busybox 😁

@sotolf @hund People seem to have forgotten the principle of progressive enhancement. Build your website so simple that it works with a console based browser. Then ask yourself where you need to add Javascript in order to functionally enhance your website. But at the same time remember that your website should not break or display a white page if someone has blocked your sparsely added Javascript.
Thanks for coming to my #webdev101 Ted Talk. :)

ffplay -i /dev/video0 -vf 'lagfun=decay=0.98[tmp]; [tmp] hue=180*sin(t)' # Kids bored on a rainy day, put this on and watch them play. Hook this up to a TV with a computer with a webcam and they can watch the effects live. /dev/video0 needs to be changed to whatever your cam is.

I don't usually dream, but when I do, it's.... something. Today I was a male mermaid, being shot like an arrow from a bow, while sitting in a car across a river, not reaching all the way and falling into the river. Being a mermaid I swam to the bottom, found a teleport to a space station and there had to dodge lasers, game arcade style.
