Ha! The Display unit for the Legion Z2 GO is running Ubuntu in the background instead of SteamOS. Lol. Can't really click on the interface though so I don't know which version it runs.

Honestly I would call it a right of passage to get a CVE. It means you are being taken seriously when it come to the kernel.
This is a good ready if you want yo understand what Rust's first CVE means.

Nothing like a Friday night emergency service call for one of our towers that decided to give us the middle finger! Our primary link decided to go down and so did our backup link. Hurray!
Well, I'm gonna give you the middle finger right back because you ruined my Friday night date!

Next batch of stickers to be converted to magnets. These were from the Tri-City Comic Con in Pasco WA a couple months back. Just now getting around to doing this. Plus the our local renaissance fair is happening tomorrow, so I will probably have another batch of stickers to do as well.

This was fun indeed. It solved a problem I had with LM Studio. I honestly thought implementation MCP modules would be difficult, but it was pretty painless. Also Warp is an amazing tool for terminal use.

I just finished watching a good classic called "Hook". Gosh... They don't make then like they used to. Plus watching it as an adult really puts things into perspective. Anyways watch it if you have the time where ever you get your movies. 😉

Went to a small Comic Con over in Pasco, WA. It felt like LFNW. It was big enough, but low key enough to actually talk to the Artist and Vendors. I had a budget and got plenty of stickers, posters and a few Books non the less. Definitely worth going to next year.

Awesome! Nextcloud displays README files at the root of their folders. This led me to have Warp Terminal create an index of the folder's contents, allowing me to have a summery of what's inside. This will definitely improve my file organization.

I'm starting warming up to using LLMs for admin tasks. For instance, Warp Terminal can help me plan, run searches, and reference docs I provide. It even organizes my work into notes for future use. Pretty cool if I say so.
Idk, what does everyone else in the admin/dev world think about this?

My ended up watching K-pop Demon Hunters and now I understand why that movie is so popular. Why are K-pop songs so catchy?
