   hmm, my resting heart rate has been increasing. That's good.
   
   "The usual range for resting heart rate is anywhere between 60 and 90 beats per minute. Above 90 is considered high."
   
   
   OH.
   
   I'm still at 52, lol.

   Based on the odor, I'd say the white kitten, which I hadn't seen in a few days, passed away in the storage area of the greenhouse. That means we'll have to clean it out tomorrow ... on a day when temperature will pass 100°F / 38°C.

      #qBittorrent seems to have retained its settings and history. One of a small number of applications which have done so.
      
      Meanwhile, I’m wondering whether I copied a recentish version of .bashrc, .tmuxrc, and a few other dotfiles for frequently used programs onto one of the other machines. If not, it is okay. Maybe it was time to start from scratch.

    I guess I can get rid of these VPN config folders, since I don’t use #PIA anymore and #Tunnelr closed a while back. I should probably find another service _before_ I travel somewhere and need to use a hotel Wi-Fi network.

      @clacke Oh, yes. But in a machine with 4K of RAM (late 1970s), they likely were doing well just to get a BASIC interpreter running well enough to attract people to become customers and users. The Commodore 64 and 128 used BASIC because they had already done most of the work in creating the PET and the VIC-20. And because the 4K-16K versions of the very popular Apple II and TRS…
