I have so many drafts on my blog (https://blogs.linux.pizza/), that I dont know what to do with anymore.
It felt like a good think to do when I started writing the posts, but then I always gets stuck in some details and start taking breaks lol

"I deleted my second brain" by Joan Westenberg is very worth reading. I am on a similar path right now, removing a lot of digital cruft and structures I had applied to my life in the belief that I could gain more control.

So farewell then Pinetime Watch 🪦.
It isn't showing any signs of charging. even after a completely-flat battery reset. Last hope gone.
Now nobody at all is running my custom software I think, and I have no way to fix the bugs.
Could replace it, but I'm not really paying any attention to the things it measures anyway. Heartrate is too unreliable to be useful and steps seems likely to be counting my leg-jiggles since I tend to hit 10,000 most days without trying or leaving the flat.
The software which tracks my time and mood is probably better running on the phone really. Easier to add notes and detail. Can't really input text from a watch. Location data can be added in ways the watch couldn't.
So back to not wearing a watch at all I think. Who needs it now we all carry pocket watches with internet and telephony.

I maintain a heterogeneous MSP environment for backup which consists of a collection of sh scripts (they mostly run on FreeBSD) with (c) notes dating back to 2004, with 5 authors, 4 of whom are no longer my cow-orkers. As the unfortunate 5th, I am still doing tweaks to catch edge & corner cases >20y after the 1st author had the idea that rsync, shell, mt, & standard POSIX tools could be assembled into a decent free backup world.

It's ridic how much #f1 formula1.com media people love Albon. I play this game with myself for their Power Rankings article where I guess who they are going to rank and where after each race. My notes for Albon say he should be #2 but since f1.com people are in love with him, he will be ranked #1. Sure enough. And a whole 1 point higher than Piastri, ridiculous and funny.

My substitution for the Pocket read-it-later app has become Inoreader. As a mix of RSS Reader and read-it-later and archiving (with notes and tags function) app I think it's worth the pro plan.

I’d rate myself an #AI skeptic to agnostic. I hadn’t used the tools at all, because I had problems w/ creation of the models: resource usage, & IP theft, were top of mind. Hallucinations a big issue too.

As some of you know, the first digital interactive fiction I created was a bot. That was in 2002.
I was just going through some old pages on my website and found an article I wrote for the (unfortunately no-longer online) site that Mark Marino, Jeremy Douglass and I ran in the early 2000s: Writer Response Theory.
Anyway, I found this piece I had copied for some reason and thought I would share it. It's on another historical angle people explored bots through. :)

The Python library "YFinance" decided to force an upgrade. They did this by making the old version report a rate-limit error on every request.
Confusing.
Would have been better if they reported a "old version not supported" error or something instead. So that wasted some time.
That upgrade had dependencies which have dependencies upon a newer version of Python, so needed a whole OS upgrade really.
Which failed. Bricking the Rasp PI it was running on.
Oh well, complete rebuild of the whole machine and software it runs from scratch then.
That took all day yesterday. At the end I notice that the touch-screen doesn't touch. Needs drivers.
The drivers haven't been upgraded in six years. They brick the machine again when trying to install them on Debian Trixie.
Luckily, I kept good notes and could rebuild it all again much faster with no mistakes and knowing what to do and all the required custom software changes already made and saved.
So now I spent a whole day on annoying upgrade work because a single Python library decided to break the old version, and my Rasp Pi has no touch-screen. Which isn't ideal for a machine mostly operating as a fancy light switch for all the LED strips in the house.
This happens all the time in software. Millions of man hours wasted, so much hardware dumped because the drivers get abandoned.
In other news: Microsoft abandons Windows 10 any day now. Good luck to everyone faced with doing that lap on the upgrade treadmill.
I still have more work to do to bring up this RaspPi's software to where it was, but it'll have to wait, other things to do. At least it's back to sending me the nightly finance report and controlling the LED strips. If without a touch screen now.
