Mr. Nay and the kids are on their way to Kauai and I don't join them for a week. What should I do with my free time?
Witchcraft
Construct a lair in the back yard
Stare longingly out any west-facing window
Subsist on a diet of Cheez Wiz and prosecco
Binge drinking but with iced tea
Alphabetize everything in the house
Beeramid
Organize the garage, which will irritate Mr. Nay
Lay around like an Elizabethan-era woman
Start a quest
Poll ends at .

*takes notes* yep, still looks easier than using dating apps

Maddie’s secret sunny spot

#Caturday #CatsOfMastodon #Maddie

Almost 25 years ago, I wrote a blog post with the title ‘jumping ship slowly’ about leaving Windows (XP was awful, it was mind boggling to me that Vista managed to make people nostalgic for XP). My advice remains the same:

Don’t try switching OS first. The OS is the most easily replaceable bit in the stack. Switch applications first. Most ‘Linux’ apps are cross platform. They’ll run on Windows, and the few that don’t will run in WSL2. You can switch out apps one at a time, and take the time to get comfortable with the alternatives.

Once you’re comfortable not using any Windows-only apps, changing the OS but using all of the same applications is very easy to do. Changing OS and application stack at the same time is an enormous obstacle.

I believe this is also why a lot of corporate and government Linux migrations fail: they try to change everything at the same time and that’s too steep a learning curve.

Going to be another rough weekend. I’m seeing intel that it’s more than 36 packages.

Wishing Time Machine gave better diagnostic output than “The backup disk is not available.” Clearly a lie since I can mount the backup disk and even create new folders on it.

Moving the old .sparsebundle out of the way allowed me to start a new backup, but meh…

HEY. GAY NERDS (affectionate). I've got at least 8 days left until my workshop has internet and also I need money for groceries and stuff ;-;

Would YOU like a Pride Finder for your Mac? I'm still doing them for a whopping *five dollars* via Ko-Fi.

You get a transparent PNG of Finder with your flag choice that you can drop into your Mac and replace the default Finder icon with.

You also get the PSD file just in case you wanna tinker with it after the fact.

Hit me up via Ko-Fi <3

Boosts *greatly* appreciated as well!

EDIT: To clarify. YES I can do any pride flag you want. Just lemme know which one in the Ko-Fi post <3
