Small fix, big impact 🔧
Initial situation: The network card in my parents’ mini server (NUC5PHY, RealTek 8168/8111) wasn’t properly entering Wake-on-LAN mode during shutdown. The server powers down automatically after inactivity and is woken up on demand via cron (every 1 min) from their laptops. Without WoL, it just stays off → manual power-on required.
Solution: A patch for the NetBSD PCI network driver to hook it into the power management framework. On shutdown, the NIC is now correctly configured for WoL.
First tests: works as expected ✅

#Democrats are expected to propose a 3-month extension of current #funding, known as a continuing resolution or #CR, which #pragmatic #Republicans unwilling to #shutdown the #government support.
#Defense hawks had voiced worries that a 6-month spending bill would hamstring #NationalSecurity spending, preferring a shorter extension that would give #Congress more time to agree on new spending levels for the rest of the fiscal year.

Beyond the #trans/#cis #binary: introducing new #terms will enrich #gender #research.
We need new terms such as ‘#gendermodality’ that are #flexible enough to capture the #nuances of #human #experience but #pragmatic enough to serve #science.

@Insidevoice I'd go for #IntelligentRealist. Or the twofer of #Pragmatic #Realist. I owned my PPE years and years prior to the pandemic because I knew—KNEW—that something like this was only a matter of time; it was inevitable. The scope of the loss of life and scope of our failure was not.
We didn't learn from influenza, SARS, norovirus, … the Penny Arcade Expo the year after I went invented the term "#PAX plague", because *everyone* became ill. The first superspreader event in my memory.

So I'm sitting here in the dark, working on #Medium and trying to get my #profile, #website, and #theme adjusted. It's times like these where I enjoy the calm before the storm. I'm often reminded of how back and forth #life can be sometimes. From extreme #busy to extreme #silence.
Chapter 15 in the #Tao Te Ching that states:
"Who can be still
until their mud settles
and the water is cleared by itself?
Can you remain tranquil until right action occurs by itself?"Sometimes, when you allow situations to settle, the answer will arrise all by itself. You don't need to force the outcome or stress. You only need to remain #calm and #vigilant.
I struggle with this with my #children and #wife. At #work, I'm cool, collected, and #pragmatic. But with my #family I'm quick to #emotion and #stuburn in my understanding of the situation. I suppose work is my #yin and my family is my #yang.
Like a crane waiting for a fish. be still and you will be provided for.
