I have a 2012 Mac Mini that was my media server. I have a newer mini PC handling that now. I’m thinking about installing Linux on the Mac Mini while I have some time off later this week but not sure what I’d use it for yet.

Kumail Nanjiani’s new special Night Thoughs, on Hulu, is great. I’m glad he’s back to doing some standup.

Updated the firmware on my Meshtastic radio today. New firmware is nice and updating the Heltec v3 was a breeze. I’m hearing the v4 firmware updates are a pain.

I did enjoy playing with other Linux distros, especially Zorin 18, but it’s nice to be back to the stability and performance of Linux Mint. Fedora Plasma was the worst. Of course, it could be the hardware I was running it on, but it was really slow and buggy. Plasma would crash constantly on me.

Heartbreaking. The University of Nebraska will terminate its entire Earth science department.
One of the country's most successful and respected geology & climate programs: gone.
When ideologues & politicians are threatened by the very act of studying climate change, I wonder: who of us is next?

It's over.
Despite the fact that the academic council recommended against it, despite the fact that the program brought in more tuition than it cost, and despite the fact that Nebraskans need & deserve this expertise, Earth & Atmospheric Sciences will be cut.

Picked up a Dream Router 7 during the Black Friday sale. So far, I love this thing. So much geeky stuff to play with. Also upgraded the OS on my Pi Hole and set it up from scratch. Set up conditional forwarding so I can get device names too. Last step was setting up Tailscale to use the Pi Hole too.

Fedora KDE Plasma was not for me. Decided to go back to the trusty Mint for now. Zorin 18 had too many bugs that were annoying me.

I decided to give Fedora KDE Plasma a chance. Wiped my Zorin OS install and am test driving the latest Fedora for a bit. You can customize so much more in KDE than Gnome.

I picked up a new phone today. T-Mobile, in their infinite wisdom, thinks it’s a smart idea to text the phone number you’re activating in order to approve the activation. What a cluster fuck that was.

The YouTube app just started downloading videos without me asking. I have never used the feature. I never watch without internet access. Had to drill into setting to turn off settings that were turned on by default including auto downloading suggested content.

The YouTube iPad app keeps getting worse. Now, navigation buttons don’t even work half the time. Click Home, nothing happens. Click Shorts, a short’s audio start playing but black screen. Have to force quit the app.

Attempting to upgrade the OS on my Raspberry Pi. I’ve never done this before. Hopefully Pi Hole and Unbound come out fine on the other side.
