I really don't know how to wrap my mind around yet another mass shooting here in the US. Feeling heartbroken and overwhelmed.
All the pro-gun people say that if more people were armed we wouldn't have this type of violence, but isn't Texas heavily armed already?
Praying for every family and individual affected by this tragedy.

"The FBI searched emails, texts and other electronic communications of as many as 3.4 million U.S. residents without a warrant over a year, the nation’s top spy chief said in a report."

I'm not Catholic, but I'm real proud of what Our Lady Undoer of Knots is doing here in Baltimore.

Sometimes the perfect Friday night is an Imperial Stout at a farm brewery and reading blogs from Hacker News with no distractions.

I appreciate all the professional appliance repair and parts companies that produce high quality videos and make them available online. Much respect, as they've made maintaining my appliances much cheaper. I'd think about making similar videos, but I'd be that one schmuck with that one dryer that keeps breaking, and nobody needs every video to be me cussing cuz I keep dropping the same bolts each time.
I'm not a huge Verizon fan, but they just rolled out 5G home internet service to Baltimore, and I just signed up. This weekend I will be saying good-bye and good riddance to Comcast.

I laughed, then promptly lost, at passWordle. Unfortunately only has a Tweet button, else you'd get to see my score

This is infuriating. Yet another reason to distrust law enforcement. A person has a right to a level of privacy by submitting their DNA as a result of being a victim of rape.

Affordable medications should be available to everyone. I love that Mark Cuban is part of the solution.

I wish this made me happy, but I do not see it as the start of a trend.

Recently switched to Manjaro Gnome on my work laptop, and have not enjoyed the polish of a GNU/Linux desktop this much since Foresight Linux. Still using POP!_OS on my home laptop, as I still love the installer and how it can refresh a system (even encrypted) and still leave user data intact without fiddling.
Looks like Zimbra OSE has been forked, and Carbonio CE has been released.

So it seems BackupPC has issues with samba 4.13, and no matter how much searching I did, I never found this bug report until Tuesday. Had to completely rebuild my backup server, as I was having trouble tracking down all the proper packages to let me downgrade to samba 4.11.

Oh, I just found out that the Free Bible Version was released under a Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike (BY-SA) 4.0 International license. That's awesome, and now my preferred translation.

This is frightening. I can honestly say I would never send a device in for service without wiping it.

In the US it's Drinksgiving if you are visiting family for the Thanksgiving holiday. I'm drinking plenty of Peabody Heights dark beers (Aluna stout, Black Astrodon black IPA, Mount Clare porter). What's everyone else having for Drinksgiving?
Been drinking all afternoon. Recorded my out of office message on the first try.
