But what a place to go, eh?
Also, the surrounding neighborhood is charming, with great old architecture.

If you find yourself in Stockholm this year, run (carefully, there are cobblestone streets in this part of town) do not walk to the Pharmarium.
I have dry, bare spots in my uncovered driveway... next to three-foot snow drifts. I can see most of the passenger side of my car, except for the front door, which is blocked up to the window.
I have icicles sticking out snow drifts hanging off my gutter.
The city plow couldn't find the border between the sidewalk and the road and unintentionally plowed almost my entire front sidewalk. (Thanks!)
We didn't get nearly as much snow as folks feared. I'd say we got maybe 12 inches, on the low end of what was predicted for this area. But wow, the winds were insane and created the areas of snow feast and famine across my property.

@duncandahusky It’s a cute place with a moderate amount of seating and an attractive collection of tasty pastries on display. If this place was closer than 20 minutes away, I’d be so fucked. 🤤
Went in on the cardamom custard bun and a chai latte.
Day off Friday! What to do?
Spent nearly all of the day yesterday at our office north of Boston helping a colleague from Cali move the network room, for my part firewalls and DNS appliances.
At dinner it was suggested that we try out this hot pot/KBBQ place in So Nashua. You order ingredients on a tablet and they bring it to your table. It was a little loud and hectic but also Friday night. Still, I would go back there again.
Got home just as the clock struck midnight. And I have two remote changes this weekend from other projects. Thinking I’ll take a day or two off this week to compensate myself.

@tilton I'm kicking myself a little bit for not leaving enough time to take a ferry from Helsinki to Tallinn when I was there in early 2025.
Then again, I got to spend a week in Finland, and that's not so bad, either.
My husband is an amazing cook. 🧑🍳🐯

@janusfox Is that a bottle of Advil in your pocket or are you really happy to see me? :blobfoxsmirk:

I upgraded the two set-top Fedora boxes (running atomic Kinoite) with no issues, AND the MacBook (running Asahi Remix) is also running smooth as silk.
Only my main desktop is not upgraded yet because I’m running ZFS-on-root and believe I need to wait for updated binaries, which are likely coming out later this week after the official F44 release on Tuesday.

@duncandahusky It was! I’d definitely make the 20 minute trip up the highway time and time again. I’m glad I went yesterday, and they’re not open on Sundays and Mondays.
I'm fairly sure that Google is punishing me for using uBlock Origin by refusing to let me successfully complete any captcha even though I've unblocked all the correct third party sites.
Holy shit I got 5 ⭐️ on Numble #45. 🤩

@duncandahusky I wish I saw this before I headed down to LSBR this morning, but there’s always Saturday and Sunday!

@roninotter@furries.club Wow, that's quite cool! So it's been hiding there all the time? :O
SciShow has partnered up with Maya Higa, from Alveus Sanctuary, to tell an uncharacteristically long-form[1] story about the 1925 Nome Diptheria outbreak and why the Nome Serum run was so improbable. It also features interviews with Blair Braverman, herself an Iditarod musher, and Dr. Heather Huson, who worked with sled dogs and became an animal genetecist. It tells the story of some of the mushers as well as some very good boys and girls.
[1]: for a SciShow episode that isn't a compilation, clocking in at almost 45 minutes
It started rainin' around here a short while ago, with the threat of severe thunderstorms, but for now it's a gentle rain, comfortably cool (not cold) ... and I'm just sitting at the open window.

@keirFox No, I'm not. I'm just saying the screen-dead after dock issue is not unique to Linux.

@Chiaroscuro@mastodon.social @Vanvidum@tiggi.es Fortunately, we only had to clear by the back door just for emergency purposes. The car is parked at the head of the driveway, to minimize the amount of shoveling required to get going tomorrow, so we'll be using the front door.

@CyrikCroc@dragonchat.org For me when I run it on a VM with F44 the su prompts for a password as usual and then fails. It doesn’t bypass.
Oh, #OnePiece, how I've missed you these past three months! The Great Hiatus is over. :D
This is what I do to shoes in the course of a year. On the right is what I walked into the store wearing. On the left is the bottom of a new shoe of the same model.
I’m surprised they lasted this long.
I wonder if I just don’t walk properly.

@tilton How many offers do you get for jobs you would not want in a hundred years? I eventually sent all LI emails to junk. :3
Walked around the Crossroads of the World. My left leg would like to not do that now for a while. Good thing my reservation is in 20 minutes.

Going to bed a bit early tonight in order to make up for waking up early last night.

So far I don't notice any differences in the way the laptop functions between F43 and F44. Even after replacing SDDM with Plasma Login Manager (PLM) it all looks and behaves the same on the surface.

4:04. Time not found. 
Gee, preparing for a fun week off has never been so stressful. I’m trying my best to tie up a bunch of loose ends at work, but people keep bringing Weird Shit to me for triage. 😩
Son of a fucking bitch.
Solved a non-critical routing problem at work that had been plaguing me for at least a week.
And it was something so stupid.
Also, policy based routing with NAT is the devil.

If you're running an updated version of a supported Fedora release, you ought to be safe. The fix was introduced in 6.19.12, and f42, f43 and f44 are all above that now. (If you're running f42, that support runs out in mid-May.)
