Lazy Saturday

Didn't do much today. Chatted online and listened to the radio. Made progress on my website's TLS troubles. Ate healthy food. Saw beautiful views of Norway.

Morning

Had a dream that I was working on a file, didn't save it to disk, came back, and the computer closed the program I had the file open on. I lost the file! So today, I'm hitting Save quite a bit.

10:30. Got up, got dressed, went downstairs. Combed hair and beard and used some mouth wash. Poured a cup of coffee with soy milk. Checked email: More progress on my TLS troubles. Logged into Farnsworth (my home server), SDF, and IRCNow. Listened to 101 The Fox classic rock FM radio station.

11:00. Discussed Tauri and Snikket on Fedora Chat. Tauri is like Electron, which runs web apps as desktop apps, but is written in Rust and does not use Google Chromium code, and is lighter on system resources. Snikket's desktop app will likely use Tauri around its web app that is currently in development. Discussed mobile backups in Soprani.ca Project Discussion: It's hard, because apps have to be backed up individually, and desktop GNU/Linux apps like Authenticator have to have this treatment, as well. It's annoying! Listened to Ozzy Osbourne's song Mr. Crowley and can't believe Ozzy mispronounces the name of a famous figure from his own country.

News: China renames Tibet to Xizang.

Why does Ozzy mispronounce Aleister Crowley's name?

Afternoon

12:00. Made progress on figuring out why I can't view attachments from xabber.de. Switched my DNS to Quad9. Spectrum (my ISP) blocks xabber.de as a suspicious site and asks me to open the Spectrum app on my mobile device, which I don't have, to change security settings. Friend from Norway sent some beautiful photos. Now my laptop won't see the hostname farnsworth on the local network; I had to type the local IP address.

13:00. Chatted more in Fedora Social on Fedora Chat (Matrix). Got a bowl of shredded wheat with mangoes and soy milk, topped with hemp seeds. Stuffed!

14:00. The television is on now.

15:00. Published the day's diary entry. Learned on Fedora Chat that MatH is vegetarian and doesn't drive cars. I guess I'm not the only one! Grabbed another can of Bubly sparkling water.

16:00. Checked Geminispace BBS: People said to transition my site to Gemini already. I'm not sure if I want to anymore. Grabbed a piece of chocolate from the fridge, because someone on XMPP mentioned chocolate. My chocolate bar is Tony's Chocolonely Dark Almond Sea Salt; it's my favorite.

17:00. Today I laerned that New York City is getting a mayor that said globalize the Intifada. I'm worried about what impact this will have on the protection of Jewish places of worship and other Jewish community spaces. I also learned that the AppImage author is a fascist who hates LGBTQ people.

Evening

18:00. Looking into writing GNOME apps with Rust. Ate half a family sized vegan pizza marinara from Papa Murphey's (Groumet Vegetarian). Got into an argument in Snikket Project Chat that began to boil down to GNOME vs. KDE. Apparently people don't like the design of GNOME at all.

20:00. Getting tired. No activity on Fedora Chat. No real activity on Snikket and IRC. Exited out of my SSH sessions.

21:40. Went to bed.

23:17. Went to sleep.
