  1. Is a repairable computer gaming mouse a thing? The switches and buttons on mine are getting a little ... fail-y and so I'm wondering if it's possible to repair it (which I'll look up) or, barring that, getting a new one which can be repaired easily in some fashion. Bonus points for easy to swap pieces and/or 3D printable parts.

  2. not all birds were so happy to be photographed, of course. To be fair, I saw the crow, and then basically whipped my camera around without having time to adjust much of anything, so I'm grateful I got a shot at all.

  3. A bird who was shockingly decent at being photographed while I tested out my new (old) Nikon lens. To be fair, I was on the ground, and they were not.

    Shot on a FujiFilm X-S10 w/ a Nikon Nikkor 200mm 1:4 (the lens is probably from the 70s or 80s, so I'm using an adapter)

  4. Hey Portland! Any guitar teachers looking for new students in the area? Virtual is okay, but I'm trying to integrate and help support the community, hence why I'm thinking local (and for occasional or in-person lessons, obviously).

  5. hey hey #Linux #FileSystem #ZFS #RAID #XFS entities! I'm looking for extremely opinionated discourses on alternatives to ZFS on Linux for slapping together a #JBOD ("Just a Bunch Of Disks", "Just a Buncha Old Disks", "Jesus! Buncha Old Disks!", etc) array.

    I like ZFS
    but the fact that it's not in tree in-kernel is an issue for me. What I need most is reliability and stability (specifically regarding parity) here; integrity is the need. Read/write don't have to be blazingly fast (not that I'm mad about it).

    I also have one
    #proxmox ZFS array where a raw disk image is stored for a #Qemu #VirtualMachine; in the VM, it's formatted to XFS. That "seems" fine in limited testing thus far (and seems fast?, so it does seem like the defaults got the striping correct) but I kind of hate how I have multiple levels of abstraction here.

    I don't think there's been any change on the
    #BTRFS front re: raid-like array stability (I like and use BTRFS for single disk filesystems but) although I would love for that to be different.

    I'm open to
    #LVM, etc, or whatever might help me stay in tree and up to date. Thank you! Boosts appreciated and welcome.

  6. getting back into Python is weird because like every time I do there's a new fresh hotness to theoretically end all hotnessess re: package installation

    and then the next time I get back in people are like, "that was such horseshit,
    this is the thing"

    "wheel is bad, but poetry: so good!"
    "poetry is
    shit, something something else is good (I dunno I kinda don't remember the name for this one)"
    "we don't need that old one, we have WHEEL!"

    motherfuckers

    (yes, these are real things)
