Added a zoom level to the Category page on the Exocortex-Log app. Can make the graphs look a lot cleaner now.
Looking back over the last 100 months here, we can see in general my social life is quite seasonal -- Festivals are a lot of social all weekend long and a couple of them in a month really bumps up the hours from my usual habit of sitting alone in a dark room pressing buttons.
The peak in 2019 is a summer filled with Glasto and Noisily and another festival or camping trip I don’t seem to have recorded the name of.
Then clearly visible is the drop-off in social activity as the COVID pandemic hit. Virtual-Social (IE zoom meetings and the like) picked up quite a bit around there but had died back to almost nothing way before the hours spent with actual people started to tick up.
Annoyingly, I have my biggest gap in data right on top of the pandemic there, where I failed to back up for months and then data became corrupted.
When the data-hole is over we see social life still not really returning until the middle of 2021 and not really getting back into stride until summer 2022.
It remains much lower now on average with lower peaks than before the pandemic too. Multiple reasons.
Work is pretty constant all the way though other than the data-hole. Dipping when I take time off for social mostly.
That data-hole is annoying. Back up your data kids.

Getting closer to the weekend

As many of you know, I very much enjoy classical music. I have many favorites. One of those is the William Tell Overture by Gioachino Rossini – a portion of which was used at the as the theme music for the TV series “The Lone Ranger” in the 50’s and 60’s.
Recently I encountered a concert hall version of this piece that took a very entertaining approach to that classical work. For those of you who remember The Lone Ranger (and everyone else as well) I encourage you to click on the embedded link – to both enjoy the music as well as the humor.

And please, tell me what you think about this performance. 😄

I just searched “anarcho-syndicalism” on Shitter and holy hell, I cannot fucking believe what I’m seeing. People are talking straight out of their asses. They treat it like a meme, like it’s some chaotic buzzword, when it means workers taking control of their own labor, seizing their workplaces, organizing through federations, striking, sabotaging, and tearing down every hierarchy built to crush them.
These people have zero historical sense. Anarcho-syndicalists fought, bled, and died …

find and / or report old and interesting GPO-markers, man hole covers etc in the UK. with interactive map, photos.

Things I have learned over the last two days consolidating all the VMs in the homelab to the same OS:
- Plex is absolutely horrible and hates NFS. It also hates you.
- Docker volumes are annoying as hell, but easy to deal with if you know how to get the data out of the volumes. If you're rocking a lot of them it will be a pain to move them to another server.
- Forgejo actions are also a pain in the ass.
- Moving my `step-ca` information from one server to another wa…

Yay, first shot of Auto Encrypt¹ running a HTTPS web server at a Web Number (IP address).

Next step: find out why some of the tests are failing on the Linux box, fix, and implement Web Numbers support in Kitten² and Catalyst³.
