Status: Doing stuff with LXC. Not my pick. For some reason,
lxc-attach
forwards output from some commands but inhibits it from others. No rhyme or reason to be found and google is not helpful.

so where does the free will come from?
It's possibly just an illusion, or maybe it is because of quantum mechanical uncertainty, or possibly chaos theory. Don't worry about it. Either you have it or it is inevitable for you to think that you have it. The difference isn't really observable.

@dkf I love when people start reading in the middle of conversation and their reply just repeats what was said in the half they skipped.

What have you got for voltage deregulatory equipment? Want two more?

She's always doing that, though. It's just her way. I suppose it had to do with upbringing, although there's nothing gentle about midnight in the Sahara.

I just place it at the end of my driveway with a "FREE!" sign. It's gone in 5 minutes.

You think I'm going to read to the end before replying?!

Of course YouTube is also unhelpful ( ) to link to that, apparently unless you speak French.

@Zenith And...not having a number pad is making data entry for my diet tracking program a pain. I didn't say I wouldn't miss the number pad but I didn't expect to miss it much so whoever said I would gets half a point.

I expected you to but knew that it would soften the blow to prime you for it. I claim the full point, plus a bonus, for my inaction.

No, no, no. Place it in the drive way, but with a sign that says "FOR SALE, ASK INSIDE FOR PRICE" and then it will be gone in 5 minutes.

It's gone that quickly? So how many "FREE!" signs have you made by now to get rid of that one TV?

Must have been 1 or 2 reams of paper when I was getting rid of my 34" flat screen CRT (400#s!).
(actually, I just made sure the delivery people took it away - thank you Video Only!)

A special lady friend is taking me out to dinner for my birthday... nearly a month after my birthday?
Oh well, date tomorrow.

Status: Trying to write a simple bot to automatically make videos public on YouTube on a schedule, because the built-in YouTube scheduler forces them private (I want them to remain "unlisted", not private).
Apparently, in order to update videos through the API, you need to re-submit the entirety of the metadata for that video (i.e. can't just say "Set Status: Public").
What the shit.
So, I have to download all of a video's metadata and modify a piece of it, and then update it all. Why?
I'm pretty fucking sure the YouTube website doesn't do this...
-
@Tsaukpaetra because stupid goddamn API can't figure out sensical PUT or PATCH semantics even though Google has fucking standards for that.
HashiCorp Vault vanilla CLI does the same bullshit. Hopes of releasing config to the owners, dashed.

that's a kind of dessert. The word for perfect is distinct, the spelling is the same but it's followed by a low pitched yet nasal laugh and some hand gestures. Learn to read.

- have overpriced optical gaming mouse
- mouse has weird jitter problems for months
- try everything from reinstalling drivers to mouse firmware to recalibration
- start shopping for replacement mouse
- comparable model costs ~$100
- jitter gets worse
- try blowing on the optical sensor (like a NES cartridge)
- works like new again

Status: My Facebook account has apparently been hacked as of 7 hours ago. Fun.
It seems my SMS messages (on actual phone, since my normal VoIP number is usually denied access to such things for raisins) are being intercepted. Or that Facebook has insufficiently random code generation.
Whatever the case, they successfully added a OTP-whatever to the account, and now I need to send in government ID to verify my account. Which will be interesting because I don't use my full name online for almost anything.
We'll see what happens when they get back to me in a few weeks...

To be fair, they often do.
