👍 Hey! 👋🏼

✨ Hemming and hawing

I’ve never felt freer to follow new people and favorite posts as I have on Mastodon.:mastodon:

👀 Converting one of my Pi4 to the 64bit OS.

✨ Updated my omg.lol page! I took some inspiration from a design I did for my main site about a decade ago. I'm always nostalgic for that era of the web, before most websites ended up looking pretty much the same 🙇

🥳 Mac turns 7 today. Happy Birthday to my Baby Boy.

Thanks to SMG at the Linux Mint forum I now have this workaround which prevents the trackpad from always being borked after sleeping the Asus laptop:

😀 I’ve wired up status.lol to my about page on my blog. Neat!

Today I got Winlink froms working with VARA HF on Linux Mint via the pat software. I'm now all set for mobile emergency comms with this cheap laptop.

I've been using ProtonVPN (from the ProtonMail folks) for years but the past few months it takes forever to connect on iPadOS. I'd appreciate non-spammy suggestions for an alternative with good throughput. I don't need the highest level of privacy. Linux support a plus

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. 🤷‍♂️

❄ 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.

📡 Houston, do you read me?
