Found a letter from dad [phoneboy.me] in my personal things. Confirmed a few recent thoughts I've had on various fronts..

@sloanb Crossville is very different from anything I experienced in the PNW.

@sloanb Been a crazy couple years having divorced and moved across the country to Tennessee from the Pacific Northwest, but things are...really good, actually.

@sloanb My ex, who had them several times, told me that it's the closest a man can get to experiencing the pain of childbirth.

The dark times [phoneboy.me] in my childhood shaped a lot of decisions in my adult life. Of course, having to confront some adult things well before you’re supposed to will do that to ya.

My ex is starting some new shit and my divorce lawyer has noped out. Somehow, I suspect this will work to my advantage…

Loaded OpenWRT on my Belkin RT3200 because their stock firmware decided my WiFi password I used prior to my factory wasn't secure enough with spaces and repeating characters. Not the first time I've used non-stock firmware, but first time on OpenWRT.

At some point, some middle manager at Belkin thought it was perfectly rational to block the use of spaces in a WiFi password. Problem is, earlier version of the firmware allowed it.

Funny, I no longer have space for Belkin or Linksys products in my life.

The one thing I appreciate about Number Portability is not having to talk to anyone at Comcast about cancelling their shitty service. That plus eSIM made switching to Visible…pretty easy, actually.

I have two friends who work at Comcast. One of them even helped me with a business matter in the early part of my divorce. There are competent people there…despite an organization that is largely run by incompetent people.

@Wife yes.

Comcast decided, despite having excellent credit, that I was a credit risk and wouldn’t let me add a new line for my new Apple Watch. So, in the next day or so, they will have no lines active. I’d take the Internet elsewhere as well if it was an option.

@Wife here’s my coffee contraption. I have two of them on different floors, actually.

@joe I’ve only been working with a vendor of firewalls my entire career. Most of them suck independent of how they’re managed…

@thrrgilag my Linux machines are mostly using Mint and I’m fairly happy with it. I do have Umbrel installed on an old laptop and a Raspberry Pi that I plan to use for a Bitcoin node at some point…
1215829
@joe what kind of firewalls we talking about here?
1215787
@thrrgilag wow it’s been years since I’ve loaded up Fedora on anything.

Now it seems to me some fine things
Have been laid upon your table
But you only want the ones that you can't get

@33MHz I ordered a new Apple Watch…mostly because my existing one was four years old and I wanted a cellular model. It’ll be interesting to see if I use the double tap feature I saw press mentions of.

You gave up too much to turn back now.
