I'm not caught up on today's games (so shhh!), but I really enjoyed yesterday's Latvia-Germany match, especially the third period.

28.9 kWh generation today, another new record by quite a significant margin. The days are getting longer and the sun is getting higher. Generation peaked at 6.3 kW instantaneous output.
Still nowhere near meeting my entire daily power demand (the day isn't over so I don't have full figures for today but I burned 176.7 kWh yesterday). But it's definitely putting a decent dent in.
DTE just added 24 hours to my ETR
Since yesterday when they first stated an ETR, it was 11:45PM tonight, but at some point in the last hour the day changed to tomorrow.
I am not coping.
Here's the last portrait with the trees from yesterday, I will be heading out to get more later today!

I asked for her name, she asked for my number, we exchanged.
Now what? 😊

…public transport (specifically, a tram) to go where they wanted to go.
For the past few weeks, I've been prowling around CachyOS like a hungry lion around a grazing herd of antelope. I even installed it once, only to return to my usual distribution a few hours later.
But it gnawed at me deep down—also because, after many years of abstinence, I wanted to install my old Steam library again and play a game or two. And according to all the enthusiastic reports, CachyOS is the perfect Linux for gaming. That's why I did it again yesterday and gave Cachy…
OK, so yesterday I wrote that abductions were still continuing to happen in Minneapolis despite the big announcement, but today…abductions are also still continuing to happen.
I have ripped the CDs I purchased yesterday to one of my external drives. It’s an older USB Hard Drive, so not fast, but it’s fast enough for audio playback. I have two connected. This one for audio and photographs is 16TB, and the other, where I keep documents and other stuff, is 14TB.
Yesterday, got a sticky caliper in my car, and the heat off of the one wheel was close to 300°F. Yikes. Luckily, just got home, but I know this is gonna cost me. #saabStory
The normal operating temperature for rotors is 120 to 150°F.
60 years ago yesterday, the watts acid test, one of the more unhinged events of the dead’s era with the merry pranksters & the night the electric kool-aid got its name, a story well-told elsewhere. weird vibes & one of the most acid test-y of the acid test tapes, 15 hard-tripping minutes & not much music, tracks 6-9: https://
Yesterday, I ordered a replacement for my favorite shorts, was annoyed that they were that expensive, and then checked when I had bought the original. That would be the reason why they are so expensive, I guess.
Last week I made GF cardamom buns as part of my Easter dinner. But I had a first pass where I put the psyllium husk into the dry ingredients instead of the proofed yeast & milk (where it would gel). I held onto that batch of dry ingredients and salvaged it yesterday.
The buns came out well, but spread quite a lot. They still had a good texture and density, so I don’t know how much my psyllium oops was a factor.
Still learning GF yeasted baking.

Gasoline hit over $6.50/gallon in my part of California yesterday evening.
I anticipate it going higher today.

Yesterday I installed the duckduckgo browser on my fairphone with /e/os, an got a bit of a surprise today when I got an notification from the OS that the duckduckgo browser was topping the list of apps trying to contact tracker endpoints.

More solar number crunching.
Yesterday: higher overall output, relatively wide variation in panel-to-panel output within a single array, but one array to another is surprisingly close - other than the east which gets a lot of shade from the house this time of year, the arrays mostly made about the same amount of power.
Consistent with most of their generation being from diffuse illumination off clouds.
By comparison, today the south and flat mounted (on the south side of th…
Remember that drama laptop? Last night I installed TileOS on it. A very interesting project, with River, Sway, Niri, Qtile etc. available. I opted for Qtile, version 2 (that version is now in testing, 1.3 is production). A quick glance yesterday showed a lot straight up working ootb. And great ricing also. Worth a check ✔️

So I joined a gym, the local YMCA, for the 1st time in my life. Yesterday I participated in my 1st drop-in exercise class and discovered I'm not as fit as I thought I was. I'm now committed to attending at least one exercise session each week. I might need my wife to drag me there occasionally.

Yesterday on our bike ride we almost got a sun burn and two weeks ago I was snowshoeing in the mountains! It's wild 😉
Today we have light rain, so I'm not sure if I want to get out for some activity or let it be a true #silentSunday .
Some background and video of the snowshoe-day can be found here:
Yesterday I took a closer look at Matrix as a Discord replacement.
I like it. It's more bare bone and less complex to use.
The whiteboard (Neoboard) is better than the Discord one (although you still cannot "lock" an element in place)
My only issue is Webhooks. I use them a lot and for Matrix, it's a bit more complicated.
I was in a rush changing spools when #3dprinting yesterday and didn't notice the difference in colour. I don't hate it though.
My daughter broke her upper arm yesterday and ultimately had to have surgery today. The worry I carry for this precious person felt like it would crush my bones as well. 💀
Wish I didn’t know this but also glad I do! ❤️
And for not being cryptic: Surgery went well so far. Her bone is screwed into the correct position and now the healing starts.

After the success of the first node replacement, I'm now also replacing the other one, with the same M920q Tiny ThinkCentre. After running load tests (read stitching some big minimaps) for a day, I did the final reimaging yesterday.
Also installing an active P1 splitter so HA can run on both these nodes. This has been a very long-term item on the list. (For science!)

So I saw a new primary care doctor yesterday, had a really good in-person experience there.
I looked at the visit notes in the patient portal and it mentions (all the way at the bottom) that it uses some AI tool to generate the notes.

My daughter had her second complete game pitched yesterday, and a win. Our practice work is showing up on the field for sure now. Her weakness now is still too many balls thrown. The pitches that are in the strike zone come in fast and are hard to hit, or if hit they go nowhere. But yeah, getting there. We just keep on working on keeping her form the same. Super proud of her progress!

A collegue and I have been doing a lot of testing with Opus 4.6 since yesterday. I spent $23 in a single prompt using /fast btw, insane! Anyway, the agent team functionality is cool to see, but I was underwhelmed by the quality.
Overall, I haven't noticed much improvement against Opus 4.5 at individual tasks. But when using agent teams, the quality is more like Sonnet 4.5's. It is not that smart.

Yesterday the Trump regime served warrants to a bunch of locals who were at that peaceful protest of the violent church where the regional ICE director preaches.
That protest is old news, the same event about which they’re trying to nail Don Lemon to the wall. Yesterday they came for both protestors and reporters, AIUI.
Light coverage here, which doesn't mention that they banged on people’s door at 4:30-6:30am with warrants and tossed them in federal detention all day. Just shameless, unalloyed harassment.

Reinstated Obelix Saigon yesterday. Whereas Asterix is the 'skinny immutable' Nixbook config, with flatpaks layered on top, Obelix is the 'fat' one, with a fully featured configuration.nix. No flakes, no flatpaks, just plain nix pkgs. Works brilliantly. The laptop will go encrypted VoidLinux. Can't go wrong with that either.

Watching Mixed team #curling was pretty awesome. Afterwards/Yesterday I have seen CAN-GER men teams compete and I have to say:
