My revenue-generation suggestion would have been to make the experience of going to the movie theater less of a filthy horrible nightmare, but if you can't do that I guess you need to find some other plan

@european_alternatives Is there a way to suggest changes to the "properties" of a product? Specifically trying to change the "DNSSEC Available" for Bunny DNS. Have tried looking through the dashboard / suggestions interface and can't find those properties.

I continue to bleed off my tech infrastructure from US companies: this morning it was DNS from Cloudflare to Bunny. I wanted to use Hetzner but they don't support DNSSEC. Relatively smooth transition as my records were already in OctoDNS, but I did have to futz with certbot a bit to get the Bunny plugin working.

Searching for why my Bazzite install was taking 2+ minutes to boot and found a Github issue response speaking portentously about "phantom USB devices".

The supposed ritual to sort it? Turning off my computer, holding the power button for ten seconds, then plugging it back in and turning it on.

And it actually worked. The old magicks are evidently still the strongest.

Thank you IAmTheBorb: https://github.com/ublue-os/bazzite/issues/3650#issuecomment-3671176634

Bootup takes around 2 minutes · Issue #3650 · ublue-os/bazzite

My bazzite setup suddenly takes ages to boot up (stuck fairly long on the spinner icon) … I've been fiddling with getting bluetooth controllers to work in a dual-boot setup (fairly unsuccessfully)....

I'm fastidious when it comes to backing up my various web projects but not really organising those backups. What's in the backup for a database called "kagutsuchi" (Japanese god of fire and the hearth)? Oh right my blog. I'm sure that made sense at the time, but it sure makes searching for a specific thing tricky.

Oh I watched mono as well. It really didn't capitalise on the photography hook from the first episode, but was a pleasant side dish to Laid Back Camp.

With Covid back in September and this beast of a cold I have right now, I've been catching up on anime. Kowloon Generic Romance felt like a five episode concept stretched across thirteen. Ruri Rocks was a cute show about geology, and weirdly well animated. Odd Taxi was as superb as others have said it is. Started on In/Spectre, Zombieland Saga, and Rock Is A Lady's Modesty today

Pausing for thought, and looking quite delightful, whilst scampering through the woodland.

Really impressed with Parsec (https://parsec.app/). Was playing Satisfactory remotely and it was close to playing it locally: really low latency and great video quality.
