@paul@oldfriends.live Mostly. I still have everything from the old server saved. I'm still missing some avatars and headers, but there's a tootctl one liner that should fix that.

@paul@oldfriends.live Thanks! I switched hosting companies and apparently not everything copied over correctly.

@ifixcoinops@retro.social As much as I'd love to taste blackcurrant, I understand the ban in the context of Himalayan Blackberry and other invasives that make delicious berries, but also can mess things up.
I'm wary of new berries.
Fuck printers. Fuck HP.
I wish birds had vertical stabilizers.
I spent most of today in bed. It was unusually comfortable. I alternated between listening to old radio shows and having exciting dreams. It was a pretty good day.
I periodically forget Zardoz exists, and it always pleases me when I remember it.
Finally got my sdr setup running again. Time to browse the waterfall.
The things I'm told I'm supposed to aspire to are horrifying to me.
If you have one of those heltec v3s and it keeps disconnecting from bluetooth, try soldering a 31mm piece to the coil next to where the power comes in. I just used a strand from a cat cable. It took 5 minutes and now my connection is solid. You want to short the coil parts. I just put a gob of solder in the coil and shoved the stripped end of the wire in there and that seemed to work. The surface tension of the solder filled up the coil part and it gives a solid mount for the wire.
I think I love this game, but I'm pretty sure I'm not supposed to be on fire at this stage of the tutorial.

@jonny@neuromatch.social To clarify, I don't mean engage with it on a human level. I have little interest in having a conversation with a machine.

@jonny@neuromatch.social I regard with deep suspicion anything that is rammed down my throat despite my expressed preference against it.
It's annoying because LLMs and other technology under the "AI" umbrella are pretty interesting, but I don't feel like there's a responsible way to play or engage with it.
This game has some jump scares. No idea why this popped up all the sudden.
Computers have been annoying me all day today.
3 spam phone calls
Login flows that don't end, including countless 2FA codes.
I paid my internet bill today and to even *log in* required 5(!) different page loads, and since my ISP is garbage, each page load takes like 15 seconds of spinning bullshit before I can do anything useful with it.
This could have been 3 text input fields and a button.

Take a fucking hint. I appreciate the sentiment, but Jesus.

I actually think it's kind of cool there's a culture around modifying cars. I just find it really unpleasant not being able to sleep with my windows open and being put in unnecessary danger on the road.
Well, my first ship raid went well...
I need a medbed apparently.
Found some ominous heavy machine breathing.

@paul@oldfriends.live Yeah, I don't have a local copy, but I still have a backup of the old server so I should be able to get it. Weird that it didn't copy over the first time. Frogdrool just had a brain transplant. I switched hosting companies and the transplantation has had some side effects.
Just annoyed I have to do a copying files over ssh thing, which is tedious to me for some reason.
Took a lot of self control to not buy this.
Trying to get a new gimmick account going, but email is being a pain.

It's the kind of thing that often happens to me. I'm weird, and my weirdness tends to trip up systems that don't have flexibility.
People of the fediverse. I present to you ceiling fan youtube drama.

For context, this feels almost exactly like a ream of 8.5 x 11.0 in paper because that's what it's printed on and it's 433 pages.

I'm obsessed with toi. It's like an entire piece of music in a single syllable.
I’m adding all the best Coast to Coast AM guest credentials to my bio.
My book full of secret shapes should be here Monday. And then I'll show them ALL.
I think I'll order some Indian food today. This will surely cause gastrointestinal distress, but screw that future guy anyway.

email is one of those things I thought would be a massive pita when setting frogdrool up, but it turned out to just work, and has worked for *shudder* a few years now, and now it just doesn't. *I* haven't changed anything, somebody else broke it.

I think it has spent most of its energy on the roots, which seem very strong and deep.
