There’s smart, and then there’s NASA engineer smart and a code change that traveled over 15 billion miles in over 22 hours. NASA’s Voyager 1 Resumes Sending Updates to Earth.
Trying out FreshRSS on a PikaPod since i cannot figure out how to get auto-refreshing work with my shared hosting’s cron tab. Downside is PikaPods only refresh twice an hour. Still waiting to see if it actually works.
Played around with Zorin OS and really liked it. Booted from a USB stick and played around for a bit. Very modern UI. Maybe I will find some time and replace Mint on my Mintbook.
This Notorious B.I.G. tifo is amazing.
I spent way too much time creating stream link files to add content from streaming services to Channels only to find out the Virtual Channels feature doesn’t support stream links. I use Virtual Channels almost exclusively and that may be a deal breaker for renewing my subscription. Disappointed.
Now Playing: Vampire Weekend - Only God Was Above Us. 🎵
I must watch Empire Records tonight in celebration of Rex Manning Day.
I was looking for an easy way to sync Google Drive and/or OneDrive to my Mintbook and found Insync. It kind of sucks that it’s $40 per account, but it seems to work pretty well so far. Going to give it the full 7 day trial.
I just backed How Comics Were Made: a Visual History of Printing Cartoons on Kickstarter. History of print media is so fascinating.
Currently reading: Criminal Deluxe Edition Volume 1 by Ed Brubaker 📚
This conversation with Mathew McConaughey on Men in Blazers about Austin FC and soccer in America is great.
I migrated my media servers off my 2012 Mac Mini and onto a cheap Windows 11 mini pc. The migration was relatively smooth. I did have to manually tag a bunch of TV shows in Channels for some reason. I’m not sure why that data didn’t come over in the backup.
Carl Weathers was a huge part of the Saturday and Sunday movie matinees on the local TV stations. RIP.
Received my Logitech ergonomic keyboard today. So far, I don’t like it nearly as much as the Sculpt, but it will have to do for now. I really don’t like having a number pad attached. My mouse feels too far away now.
Gary Gulman is on today’s Never Not Funny. I love listening to him talk comedy shop. One of the funniest in the business.
After Midnight is good. I really did miss the format. Definitely added to my DVR.
If the Cardinals really can get their stuff together and start a service this season, so long DirecTV.
Time to upgrade my Mintbook Pro. Linux Mint 21.3 “Virginia” has been released.
