Remember when USB mass storage sucked a butt?
Yeah, well it's still sucking today in some ways. The bad old days of USB 2.0 mass storage are still here, if some peripherals told their story via being shitpiles of fuck

Ooh, my new trimmer can be used in the shower, so it replaces the other two junky ones
I get drawer space back AND I don't have to deal with stuff that's barely working
-
before: write shopping list on paper.
today: try to find the app that lets you make a list without a bunch of ads, and without other enshittified intrusion.
outcome: you fail at that and keep writing your list on paper.

sitting here waiting for commands to dump from a bunch of routers
still faster than typing it manually
-
I'll further note that, at age 10 (about the time I had this lesson reinforced with the same behavior from "adults"), this kid learned that adults lie and can't be trusted.

OK, got NUT working on these RasPis that were having trouble before
Had to edit the UPS definition. Sometimes nut-scanner puts stuff out that should NOT be in the definition. The busport and device numbers should be left out, in my experience.

Oops... I take back what I said re: Philips keying the plug for USB
Turns out it was actually a good idea. The old stuff not only has reverse polarity, but it takes +15VDC in, which would give this new trimmer a hot supper, so it's protecting me from my own being an idiot
(can't blame me for thinking the old stuff was +5, though; they print the ratings in microscopic font with no contrast. It was only when the voltmeter lit up with "15" that I got the idea)

gl.inet's Comet Pro works better than the old Comet KVM I have (it at least doesn't make the web browser run the system out of RAM)
Good thing, too, cause I can't buy another JetKVM right now, which was what I was going to do (AMZN has it "unavailable")
At least these are inexpensive for KVMs that do IP
-
And YES, those rats keyed the new connector so the old brick doesn't fit my new trimmer
I'll be taking voltage measurements to see if they also reversed polarity, cause that's something they probably would do :oP

the glorious mess across the room from me

(the Ryzen used to be my mail server. It's been reimaged as a Debian test server, where I'll try to bang on Wayland with it; that is a better use than just monitoring a UPS ;o)
-
"pollonly = 1" in the nut.conf made the Ryzen stop dropping out, btw, but both this and sos are WAY overkill for a UPS monitor, so getting these Pis working will really be the solution.
-
This country needs more leaders like this who are willing to do the right things. He's leading, not preserving a political career.
-
Rrrrgh the NUT problem with RasPi was most likely USB interrupts (it did the disconnect/reconnect thing on these Pis and on this other new Ryzen mini PC)
So I'm going to jigger the jobs around and restore NUT to roll-chan and panel and put "pollonly = 1" in nut.conf and see if that stops the pigeon... er, the madness
-
if you let me actually buy one, I'll buy one (and have a good chance of using it as my ONLY vehicle: it'll fit me day-to-day, it'll fit my ALDI run in the passenger's seat, and I have a whole bed for hauling stuff! I just need tie-downs and a good tarp for the rainy days.)
I've spotted RHD kei vans in donut hole, KS. I'd consider one of those, too (first OEM to make them to USA specs and sell them in USA will be a winner!)

The hits just keep on coming with this dietary change
Dental cleaning no longer feels like they're scraping my gums off.

Those who get company vehicles are no better off -- they STILL have to spend their time in traffic
But at least the vehicle (and apparently the fuel) is an employer cost
-
I think if employers really want us to return to their prisons without bars, they should at least subsidize the cost of our travel.
They're fine with us spending time in traffic, spending our own money on fuel and vehicle maintenance, spending daily on public transit (IF that is even available to us), and pissing away hours every day in transit, but the moment someone suggests the employer should pay some of these costs, oh no!

It just dawned on me... 1992's Germany was vastly different to what's most likely happening today. In 1992, we mostly drove our USA market cars there. (Germany also sold LEADED fuel back then, though they were phasing that out)
Today, I'm pretty sure artificially-cheap fuel is still rationed by the likes of AAFES, but the service members are tearing around there in their ridiculous monster trucks and SUVs they can't really afford.
What a way to treat our hosts. :o(

Free software isn't "failing" because people can't modify the code. The rest of the system is failing free software because it's trying to hide complexity behind enshittification, and gatekeeping the knowledge of the software craft.
I once wanted to be a programmer, but quickly discovered that I just had no mental capacity for putting up with what looked like intentionally manufactured barriers and other bullshit. (And then I discovered that's how employment is; it's been a slog since)
-
If I really need my fuel price to be lower, I can again make the correct decisions (I'll just assume the price won't go down; it helps me make the correct decision) and not drive as much (if I can get away with that), and trade up to a vehicle that uses less fuel if I absolutely need to drive.
Requires effort, might require some money, but is relatively straight-forward. No bitching and moaning required (though I will miss my current car, ngl)
-
As an American, I've been here before. Fuel was "cheap" back in 1992 when I went to Germany because it was rationed on military installations. Then later, back in USA, I did the right thing when fuel prices rose (traded up to a small car)
I've paid current prices for fuel with my current car before. It's "high" because we've been conditioned to accept ~$0.50/l as a "normal" price when large parts of the world pay over $2 for that liter.

it's kind of hard to believe MS could once make software that not only didn't use ALL of your RAM, it was properly optimized (you had 512k in this system, and Excel ran in that, and you could actually make a spreadsheet with Excel and System software running!)
Excel and the rest of Office today is a greasy pig covered in AI slop lipstick. The Office old guard is disappointed.

praying that the tram station gets extended again. Because.

yet another ordering system that's stuck in 1988 and doesn't properly support ZIP+4
66209 is in a DIFFERENT CITY than 66209-2013

I remember running a SSG5. ScreenOS was a step up from the iptables thing I was running. It got replaced with a Cisco ASA, and that was replaced with an SRX
#opnsense replaced the SRX300 I still have. This is a massive upgrade in some ways, but I miss things about JunOS (taking forever to boot on the SRX210 and SRX300 is not one of them)
Overall, OPNsense is a big firewall improvement.
