So, this is fun. It's a heck of a wind storm, most of all. Stripping branches off trees and even flipped an Adirondack Chair on our back patio. Flipped it clean over. https://twitter.com/drsekula/status/1295143724318691329/photo/1 https://chirp.cooleysekula.net/attachment/67075

"Backlog in state reporting adds more than 5,000 coronavirus cases in Dallas County" Most of these should have been recorded in July. About 600 belong to August. It means the risk was underestimated for a month, leading to bad policy decisions. https://www.dallasnews.com/news/public-health/2020/08/16/backlog-in-state-reporting-adds-more-than-5000-coronavirus-cases-in-dallas-county/

Don’t know how I keep missing #sonOne, but it has been more than a month since our last #videochat.
-
I think someone missed. Temperatures substantially above 100°F are supposed to land in #AZ, not #SoCal.
-
#Daddy_A lived in #AZ for a year or two. When I told him how hot it is today, he immediately told me how glad he is to have left #SoCal and #Arizona to move to #NE ( #Nebraska gets both hot and humid, but not as hot as AZ or as humid as #Mississippi ).

From JesseWFAA https://twitter.com/JesseWFAA on Twitter: Today was officially the hottest day of 2020! DFW hit 104. The last time we hit 104 was 755 days ago. #wfaaweather https://twitter.com/JesseWFAA/status/1295114367097352192/photo/1 https://chirp.cooleysekula.net/attachment/67069

On the laptop upgrade project: The #Kubuntu machine is “in process”. The #Debian machine updated from 9 (Stretch?) to 10.5 (Buster?). The #NixOS and the #Fedora machine are in progress. The OpenSuse machine has not been started. The #Devuan machine ran out of disk space, so I’ll redo it from scratch.
-
@vegos Yeah, it takes Devuan a little longer to release OS versions, but Debian itself is a stable OS, sometimes years behind the outside world. That is the reason I use Debian and Devuan ... if I wanted constant churn and breakage, I’d use Arch.

> Keep finding myself thinking- what even is life? ????
@alicia Easy.
It's a news agency linked to the Kremlin: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Life_(news_agency,_Russia)
-
@alicia Yes :-).
If you mean life as in living creatures (probably, heh), then it's tricky, because, strangely, it falls into the same categorising pit as "where does green end and blue begin exactly", i.e. there is no good well-defined line between what is alive and what isn't as much.
Some questions simply cannot have a clean-cut answer by design.

@vegos !loadaverage was actually running on Devuan Beowulf pretty much ever since Debian Buster was released.
Issues that stalled it's promotion to stable didn't concern me much.
And before that I did the same thing with Devuan Ascii.
-
@vegos Well, Debian 10 Buster and hence Devuan 3 Beowulf got a bit of moss since then of course. It's still fine for my server needs (including GNU social) though. In a year it will become more problematic, but in a year Debian 11 Bullseye will happen, and I probably won't wait for Devuan 4 Chimaera to reach stable as well. On the desktop I use !opensuse Tumbleweed, so… no m…
-
@vegos Not sure what causes this – TwitterBridge has always been a mystery to me.
But I'm looking into it.
-
@vegos It seems that this was caused by a flaw in the RedisCache plug-in, which shared connections between daemon threads.
Something about TwitterBridge made it more apparent.
-
> Thanks, I had to read first, what that Redis is. Never ate it, but I'm pleased, you care about it. @vegos That was a technicality. It's a performant key-value database that can be used for caching and queues in GNU social. And the plug-in in GNU social for caching via Redis didn't account for that when the GNU social daemons fork the new processes need to reconnect to Redis…

@phildobangnz How can you not speak at least some French? Isn't that one of your national requirements? You'll get kicked out of Canada and have to move to Detroit.

Annoying that #Ubuntu family operating systems still do not give a “use UTC” option during installation for the system timezone. Even my #Win10 laptop uses UTC.
Too many family members are in timezones other than US-Pacific. Using a local timezone is just confusing, just as using AM and PM instead of 24-hour time is.
-
Have you ever had the phone ring at 06:00 local time because you told someone you’re up at 07:00, but it takes an hour to be ready to talk?
The caller was in US-Central, so they waited until 08:00.
Timezones cause confusion.

The hottest temperature I ever experienced was 116F sometime around the early 2000s. But 106F and humid (working in El Centro, #California, one year) and 96F and much more humid (working in #Mississippi one year) felt even worse. The awful thing about #MS was that the local people I worked with said it was the coolest Summer in thirty years, while I wondered how people could live there.

My #SoCal hometown is having another day that exceeds 100F / 38C outside. Inside temperature is 96F / 36C. Slightly hotter than some parts of Sacramento #CA, but lower than Phoenix #AZ. Some clouds rolling in, so maybe we’ll have some overcast ... or maybe even a little rain. We have not yet had the traditional August rainstorm. (Cools things off that day, but then the ne…

@geniusmusing I don’t know where they’re hitting 115F, but they really should be allocating the the power cuts to some of the industrial users that use most of the state’s power to begin with. If some places really did hit 115F, they’re risking people’s lives by cutting cooling in residential areas. Not only do they not have air conditioning, but they’re without ref…
