My time at

Till then, I'll figure out
If you start the cinematic masterpiece "Dumb and Dumber" tonight at exactly 10:47:48, the Icelandic Snow Owl will go down when the clock strikes midnight.
Happy New Year, everyone!
Tonight I dusted off the

This morning a family in Gaston had a pet who fell down an underground drain pipe. About 4 feet underground.
When you don’t know who else to call the fire department shows up. In our department pets and livestock are family.
I am so proud of the Gaston crew!
If you host your domains with

They are now by default turning domain privacy on. Whether you ordered it or not.

Holy moly.

Can the

Can it handle the heat of the CPU compiling?
Can it run a smooth desktop?
Is it worth the price?

How small of a machine can you run

with? In this case, I got it running with 2GB of RAM and a single CPU thread (no GPU at all). This is the actual speed of operation. Slow, but functional.
Obviously, real-time stuff is out of the question. But there are things you

I took Scott’s endorsement of Nick’s advice and got the wheels. World of difference. It’s the little things.
I removed the chair from my office to do this because I thought replacement would be much more extensive than popping old ones off and new ones on. ~5 minutes. Easy.
Took
@Nick_Craver
's advice and bought these roller-skate (inline skate) wheels to replace my existing office chair (Herman Miller Aeron) wheels. Absolutely worth it. Total chair rolling upgrade!

There's plenty of room for everyone here.
This was one of my students. She was a freshman and I taught her very first programming course. I remember her crying after class and thinking she couldn't do it.
She did it. And you can do. Keep going ✨
I dusted off my

to do some updates and maybe hack around.
I had it sitting on a shelf, but plugged in. Didn't realize I never turned it off. It wasn't even warm. Pretty impressive.

Look, I work in tech and am about as "techie" as one can be. But do we really need "smart" everything?
No, we don't. Washing machines have done just fine for 100 years without software updates for crying out loud.
