i think

tailscale might be good for a headache and little else

when i revisit in to reassess potential use cases for my desktop-turning-server, i am wholly unable to pull ipv4 from their internal dhcp. it appears to be an issue with an old nodekey file, which evidently doesn't get removed with -Rns, so i am currently on a wild goose chase to track down the problem key file that is apparently not just getting thrown out because of disuse

they sponsor every foss podcast under the sun, but this simple trick can make the whole env cake its metaphorical pants

i call them frank's red, hot commas

i put that shit on everything

i am rich in flash storage

a while back, costco had for sale at my local storefront, a pack of two 128GB Lexar USB 3.2 Gen 1 type-A/type-C flash drives, for $20 USD. to be clear, that's 256GB of USB 3.2 accessible flash storage for $20. they're had thick aluminum housings, and the type-C interface appeared well-reinforced to avoid any unfortunate beheading. i bought a couple of packs and opened one immediately to make a ventoy drive. the other functions as an ad hoc small-form data migration medium. both work flawlessly every time. they have that good-tool-weight feeling in the hand. not needlessly heavy, but solid. well-built

this was greater than a year ago, and until 20 minutes ago, i had assumed that i had only bought two packs total, with the second pack as a spare now gathering dust in a far-flung corner of an unattended desk cubby. well, i had to attend to that cubby this morning, and i found two spare packs gathering dust. i had apparently bought three packs, or six 128GB flash drives total. i now understand that i am somewhat inundated with flash drives that might make one feel like a rich person

i seldom get to appreciate past versions of myself, but i really pulled through on this one. good job, me
