My Backup Cable Won't Work

2025-10-06

05:30. Woke up. Called in; didn't want to start the week yet, and wake up my mom at 06:00. Went back to sleep.

10:30. Got up, went downstairs, brushed my hair, grabbed a coconut pineapple Bubly sparkling water, took my meds. Debated taking a shower; decided not to. Made a cup of Yorkshire Gold tea.

Got on laptop. Borogove Demo froze my Firefox session. Someone called me; I like Borogove's ringtone. Browsed Mastodon. Chatted online.

13:00. Fixed notifications in Borogove Demo. Now, only mentions notify me in public chats. Did Ctrl+Shift+I and entered the following code.

xmppClient.getChats().filter(c => c.isPrivate && !c.isPrivate()).forEach(c => c.setNotifications(true, true, false))

It didn't work.

13:30. Ate two bananas. Made a bowl of oats. Made another cup of tea. Added pumpkin butter and walnuts to the oats and ate them.

14:30. Borogove Demo keeps crashing Firefox. I'll just keep chatting on my mobile device.

15:00. Went to the convenience store to get Hamm's beer.

15:45. Finally got Borogove Demo running smoothly alongside Mastodon and Fedora Chat. Changed forEach to map. It worked! I'm now getting pings only when mentioned!

xmppClient.getChats().filter(c => c.isPrivate && !c.isPrivate()).map(c => c.setNotifications(true, true, false))

16:00. Thinking about how I'm going to do backups now that I don't really have a server. I'm trying to connect my backup drive to my laptop, and the connection keeps breaking. I'm using a USB SATA cable; the drive is a SATA drive, not an external hard drive.

18:00. Put three beers in the fridge and one beer in the freezer. That's the last of my beer.

18:40. Ate two veggie burgers with mustard and dill pickle, and a banana.

19:52. Finished a beer. Watched the Chiefs game. Brushed teeth. Thinking of moving to Sway on Fedora.

21:30. Closed all my apps to get ready for bed. Chatted online for the rest of the night.

22:00. Went upstairs to bed.
