A quotation from Douglas Adams
“So what’s the point of showing me something I can’t see?”
“So that you understand that just because you see something, it doesn’t mean to say it’s there. And if you don’t see something, it doesn’t mean to say it’s not there. It’s only what your senses bring to your attention.”Douglas Adams (1952-2001) English author, humorist, screenwriter

A quotation from Douglas Adams
“Oh, all right,” said the old man. “Here’s a prayer for you. Got a pencil?”
“Yes,” said Arthur.
“It goes like this. Let’s see now: ‘Protect me from knowing what I don’t need to know. Protect me from even knowing that there are things to know that I don’t know. Protect me from knowing that I decided not to know about the things that I decided not to know about. Amen.’ That’s it. It’s what you say silently inside yourself anyway, so you may as well have it out in the open.”
“Hmmmm,” said Arthur. “Well, thank you –”
“There’s another prayer that goes with it that’s very important,” continued the old man, “so you’d better jot this down, too.”
“Okay.”
“It goes, ‘Lord, lord, lord …’ It’s best to put that bit in, just in case. You can never be too sure. ‘Lord, lord, lord. Protect me from the consequences of the above prayer. Amen.’ And that’s it. Most of the trouble people get into in life comes form leaving out that last part.”Douglas Adams (1952-2001) English author, humorist, screenwriter

I couldn't get a #Zabbix 6.4 server process restarted on NetBSD after pulling down new pkgsrc files. 6.0 is in pkgsrc, 6.4 is wip, and the install didnt like my pgsql version either. Flailed a while before puting a 7.0 server on a Pi and connecting it to the NetBSD database.

My fave 5-book trilogy. Earth:mostly harmless. Deep Thought explains 42 in the movie at 42m. Agrajag is reincarnated in different forms eg petunias & killed each time by Dent. When the Infinite Improbability Drive interacts with 2 missiles they become a whale & bowl of petunias; odds were 8767128:1.
