  • I got me some new devices recently. Researching and adding privacy/security add ons to Firefox was surprisingly enjoyable.

    The idea that I have some measure of control over what I experience - and what I give in return - is novel to me.

    The -10 or so extensions work well enough. It’s still the internet, but it’s an earlier version. Better than what currently exists.












  • Fo sho. Temporary things can and should be low cost/quick. Getting a hammer drill and tap-cons that aren’t required for the end product may just serve to degrade the existing structure in the long run.

    Also- we just had our steep ass roof reshingled and were getting water in the attic along the chimney after installation. The 30 year warranty got us two dudes back on the roof with three tubes of caulk… 30 year caulk?

    We called a manager back over to inspect the work. He gave us a quote on siding, because he believed that was the issue. There is no siding between the roof and chimney… Can’t quite afford the lawyer without a guarantee we would win and get our money back.

    I try not to think about it. We’ll live in this house until we die because dishing it off to some other unsuspecting fool would haunt me afterwards. That - and the black mold will probably speed things up a bit.

    Hard to say what is what these days.

    Enough darkness. Hope y’all enjoy some quality time with loved ones (or whatever works for you) this weekend!




  • I get that folks are engaged for various reasons, but Wikipedia isn’t at it’s best when it comes to current events. I feel like that battle will slow as time passes.

    Still - a big thank you to those who strive to combat misinformation.

    *And you make a great point. Make the edits to Trump’s page after the dust settles and there is no argument about the facts.
