My Asus laptop is all set up with #linuxmint with a bunch #hamradio apps. Everything is golden except the touchpad doesn’t work after a suspend. Research in progress.

I’ve been on mastodon 4 years. At first it felt “meh” but I dove in again a couple months ago and, especially after moving to fosstodon, find it engaging and I love being able to moderate my own timeline (mutes, filters, blocks and so on). It also feels better for microblogging and I don’t have to rely on someone else moderating.

😁 Newly set up this site! ^^ How do you like it?

After getting this cheap Asus dual booting Linux things got weird. The Asus charger no longer works when the lid is open. However MacBook Pro and Chromebook chargers do. Seems an odd coincidence so I suspect it may not be the charger. 🤷‍♂️ #linuxmint

❄ I just saw some snowflakes!!

I managed to get Linux Mint installed on my cheapo Asus laptop. It’s pretty snappy. I’m now trying to figure out why 2 apps can’t connect locally via XML-RPC. Tis a journey. #linuxmint

📡 Houston, do you read me?

My attempt to install Linux Mint on my $100 Asus laptop has not gone well. The install stops saying it can’t unmount the cdrom to re-partition. But of course there is no cdrom so ? #linuxmint

Content warning: Weather comment

This morning is 30F cooler than yesterday’s 77F and falling. Temps are going to fall all day. Combined with the rain it is feeling like fall again 🍁

I have a number of Aqara devices for home automation but this week all of the sensors (motion, doors) stopped working. Seemed to be the hub so this morning I switched to a newer M2 hub. Tedious process but everything is working now. #homeautomation #homekit

Mastodon question: Is there a way to avoid seeing boosted toots that I’ve already seen (because I follow the original)? Kind of annoying seeing duplicates, triplicates and so forth.

Ground is more heavily covered in leaves this morning. Tomorrow’s low will be 40F less than today’s high with a storm expected so I expect a substantial increase soon. It’s fun kicking through them.
