It sucks it’s so hard to convince people to switch to Signal because even ignoring the privacy angle (which I’ve mostly negated by installing it on all my devices) it’s the best messaging app by far IMO. I wish everybody would text me on there

Yesterday I got this little camera to take along to the family vacation. I actually forgot to take any pictures with my phone on day one!

Switching from Proton Mail to Fastmail mostly because of their right wing-associate scandal(s), but migrating emails out of their system is so obnoxious it definitely reinforced the grudge (imagine if I’d been using them for more than six months!)

Reading: Dungeon Crawler Carl A LitRPG/Gamelit Adventure by Matt Dinniman 📚 My dislike of this genre was instant and visceral but I’m trying to push through it. Maybe I’ll come to like it. I’d probably enjoy the writing if it were really a game!

I can’t stop buying my daughter those super cute seasonal dresses they sell at Costco for like $12

The two kinds of non-endorsement

I think I won my war on Plex today. I’ve had to move my server twice and it was not a fun experience either time!

My daughter is very exceptionally “knitworthy”, not only does she make requests but lately they’ve been for things I made her last year that she’s worn religiously and now she’s grown out of.

I just closed up my PC after hours trying to get a new HDD installed (it’s a CyberPower case with all these rainbow lights and it was horrible inside) and IT WORKS. I can hardly believe I’ve succeeded here. I’ve never done anything like this before!

I’ve been having my daughter help repair our Plex server, and she understands we can’t watch certain things until the work is done, which I think is a good lesson. Maybe?
