Yesterday I made an appreciation post. This morning it was gone. Not sure if snac decided to do a thing on its own or if I accidentally pressed the delete post button when trying to turn off the alarm on my phone this morning or whatever, but here it is again, slightly expanded and modified. No “AI” was used in the crafting of this message:

Finally Friday! Well, now Saturday!

I’ve been boosting and posting some negative content lately, and I really don’t want to be a Debbie Downer, so I’ve decided to focus more on stuff I like. So here it goes:

I really really like #OpenBSD, #Slackware and #9front. They do what I want from them, never complain and never break on me. If they break, I can easily find information on how to fix them, or a member of the community will come to my aid.

I really like #herbstluftwm. Cool sounding name, easy to customize and handles my windows really well. What more could I ask for in a window manager?

I really like #zathura. Easy to customize and blends well with my color themes.

I really like #mpv. It does what it’s supposed to do.

I also really like #anonradio and #hackerpublicradio (#hpr). Thanks for keeping me entertained.

Also, @[email protected] : Thanks for constant content.

An honorable mention to #wife, #kids, and #cat. I enjoy your company.

At 19z00, or in about half an hour from this posting, tune in to #aNONradio for my weekly show A STEP FARTHER OUT, in which I discuss the world situation, technology (but mostly not computers) and the future of humanity, and especially atomic energy and space travel.

Is it Friday yet? Hmm unfortunately not quite. However, this does mean FLUX is on today at 2000 UTC if you point ears to aNONradio, SDF's not radio station. That is some 2 hours 20 minutes from posting.

Head to http://anonradio.net for ways to get my tones into those ears of yours.

@Paulatics

I'm on mastodon.sdf.org

SDF is a nerdy place that suits nerdy people like me. I joined SDF to listen to #aNONradio (shoutout to @snowdusk and #InterGalacticWasabiMix!) and don't donate nearly enough for the services I'm using (aNONradio, the COM chat program, sometimes the VoIP and e-mail, and Mastodon of course)

The instance is a bit out-of-date and particularly slow lately, but #SysAdmin is hard. Upgrades are in the works!

Gatlinburg!

I have a book entitled "Gatlinburg II", which is the record of a nuclear-energy conference held there in 1979. It was for many years the favored site for conferences associated with Oak Ridge National Laboratory, including those organized by the Oak Ridge Associated Universities.

Another book that I have, "Abundant Nuclear Energy", is the record of such a conference held there. Pretty sure I've read some of both on my #aNONradio shows.

FLUX is on tonight at 2000 UTC, on aNONradio, SDF's non-radio. That is just less than 1 hour from posting. Sorry, long work day!

Coming up SOON! today, Tuesday, 23:00 UTC (that's *6:00* PM Wisconsin and *7:00* PM Eastern now!) - Praise Then Darkness Ep. 200: Happy Snake Day! Like 50 unfathomably horrible things happen before breakfast, so just join me for some tunes (and a little other stuff), kind of a... electronica / jazzy / trip / trip-hop kind of mix, more or less.

On anonradio.net of sdf.org !
