Good news: I feel less stressed out about the pandemic after powering off my devices for a day or two.

Bad news: I'm tempted to declare inbox bankruptcy, people have been blowing up my phone with notifications. If you're waiting for a response from me, please be patient :-)

Quarantining for 14 days because I came into contact with someone believed to have COVID-19, although it's hard to tell without testing. Very stressed out, powering off my devices for the day.

It turns out that if your #ssh #keys are in the wrong directory or named incorrectly, SSH won't find them and use them. Thanks for the tip, Github: https://help.github.com/en/github/authenticating-to-github/error-permission-denied-publickey#getting-more-details

I recently realized that the USA's litigious culture is probably a direct result of people not having reliable healthcare or a social safety net. When you need money to survive, or to save your loved ones, of course you'll sue anyone you can.

Failing an open firmware+hardware mouse, what is the most #sustainable + #repairable mouse?

Browsing iFixit, the only mouse I can find with a repairability score is the Magic Mouse 2, which is a pathetic 2/10: https://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/Magic+Mouse+2+Teardown/51058

Does anyone know of an open hardware / open source #mouse?

The closest I've found is this one-shot open firmware + hardware mouse which appears to be made from obsolete unsourceable parts: https://github.com/biomurph/Mouse

I hope it gets updated someday!

I was just introduced to Zapier today. It appears to be a more complex, business-oriented version of IFTTT, for gathering + processing data by connecting various web services.

I hope there isn't too much brain-melting complexity hidden behind its friendly-looking UI!

Biked out to Morris Arboretum yesterday, 30 miles round trip. Our reward for making it there was to visit this giant bird nest. Thankfully we escaped before we could be devoured by an enormous robin!

Let's say you are #traveling, and you want to bring your own #food and eat it indoors (assume bad weather). What options are there? What sorts of places should you look for?

The first idea that occurs to me is food courts, since the space isn't exclusive to one food business.

#Sunshine and a #mug of #tea!

If you're trying to preserve your music collection for posterity, which should you purchase: vinyl LPs, which last indefinitely if unused but wear out if played, or CDs, which can decay in as little as 10 years, but can be used to make perfect digital copies?

It seems like the answer may partly depend on whether you expect the collection to actively maintained, or if you expect it to be forgotten and rediscovered many years later.

It's too bad about Client Hints, they seem useful: https://www.smashingmagazine.com/2016/01/leaner-responsive-images-client-hints/

But they aren't implemented in Firefox or Safari. If they were more broadly adopted, it would make it easier to automatically serve responsive images without HTML markup.
