Superficial wipe down and it's come up very nicely. I think I will use this a lot.

no no no *you* can't freely scan through the collected works of humanity, that right is reserved for the large language models.

The news is putting kids on camera from the school shooting. That absolutely should not be happening and is incredibly irresponsible.

Using the Wazuh (formerly OSSEC) module in Puppet. Has the most breakage of any module I have worked with. I may just give up it is so frustrating. I like the reporting, but not that much.

It will do for now. i may pop a cheap 2.5" ssd in there, it is just one screw and it slides out which seems like a dream nowadays.

The replacement battery holds a charge and so far it is a very usable computer. 4GB is not quite enough for a desktop environment & browser, which is profoundly daft but the main bottleneck remains storage. One forgets how glacially slow 5200 rpm drives are.

@Mer__edith I just read the Wired article. So good to read something positive this week after all the negativity. The accompanying portrait is also wonderful.

Down into the 40s this morning; quite surprised how much it kicked off my SAD. Strong November vibes.

Rescued an x201 from the scrap heap. Bought a new battery for it and it plays nice. They do have a distinct smell when they get warm.

Went to the North Shore to have a look at LST-325 on its seasonal visit along the river. Wanted to get onboard but queues were crazy. It's a lot bigger than I'd imagined. they look compact on all the old wartime photos. Backlit, but what can you do.

I made it very clear on Friday nobody would be working today. I still get email from Faculty asking for stuff. Drives me nuts.
