https://github.com/lwthiker/curl-impersonate added support for Edge and Safari a while ago and I didn’t realize. Very cool!
Finally broke down and installed Pipewire. Bare ALSA is only good if you only use one physical sound card ever. Don’t even try Bluetooth.
BunsenLabs is just a delightful distribution.
Playing with Wireguard and network namespaces today. Resisting the urge to redo my server.

Since install, Flexo has saved ~417 MiB of bandwidth, or 21.7% of my total package downloads in that time.
TRIM on Btrfs on LUKS on a sparse disk image served with NBD actually works. I love free software.
Spring cleaning came early at McKinley Labs. I just removed 475 unnecessary packages from my laptop totaling ~3GiB. Not bad.

Zoom (2001) is Jeff Lynne’s ELO before ELO was “Jeff Lynne’s”. There are some great songs on there. It’s a shame the sound is so awful.
A word of advice: Never swing and grind at the same time.

We’ll make our own driver! With blackjack, and hookers! https://www.collabora.com/news-and-blog/news-and-events/nvk-holiday-update.html
I didn’t realize what I was doing with a command and now my entire music library is tagged as hip-hop. It’s time to stop for the night.

If you’re reading this, this is my first automated twt. I added a line to twtxt.txt, typed ‘make’, and everything else was automatic.
The Ladybird XHTML bug is fixed. index.xhtml and blog/index.xhtml are now generated with a Makefile, XSLT, and a bit of Python. Feels good!
RIP Terry.
