Another day, another day I'm not going to get around to updating my servers. I don't want to let my Mastodon/PeerTube/Gitea/Nextcloud installs get too far behind the latest releases but I've got too many other things that need attention right now and it's not like I've got a lot of users to support on those servers.

Just got a completely non-credible bomb threat by email telling me the bomb won't go off if I send bitcoin. Let me be clear. Even if I believed that there was a bomb (and I don't), I would not pay them. The last line is particularly amusing.

Throwing the baby out with the bathwater is supposed to be an obvious mistake but sometimes you're a time travelling nanny, the baby is hitler, and maybe it's fine to throw out that baby with the bathwater.

Cat wants to hang out.

Cat was very interested in the groceries, but I didn't get anything for her.

Short work day tomorrow due to funeral. Need to remember to bring a suit.

I still think it's mildly insane that Amazon doesn't combine the payments for video royalties from different regions. They could have done a single 82 cent transfer instead of a 74 cent transfer, a 7 cent transfer, and a 1 cent transfer. Of course, if Amazon can afford to do that, what's Alphabet/Google's excuse with YouTube?

more orders, more roasting #coffee

Cat mug. There are 5 more cats on the other side.

Cat has a hot head.

The cat disapproves of my dinner choice and so do I, but I didn't want to shop after work.

Does anybody have a recommendation for a good home WiFi AP? Mine is failing at about 5PM almost every evening in such a way that everything comes back if I just unplug/replug the Ethernet cable going to the modem, but it's obnoxious to have to do that nearly every day.

I wonder how much beer you get out of 6 pounds of coffee.

Time to roast some coffee.

At the hardware store I saw a product called OdoBan. Sadly not intended to counter the changeling infestation.
