   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.

   Just notified of a co-worker's passing. They did not say what the cause was, so no idea whether it was coronavirus or some other cause.

   Appears to be #PEBKAC. I noticed some ecryptfs files taking up a lot of space, so I deleted them. While I knew ecryptfs was installed, I had not, to my knowledge, enabled or configured it. The SSD was at 95% used on / , when I knew I wasn't doing much to add to it. Blew away about 20% of it.

   ... are unaffected. Need to check to see whether GPG and SSH keys still exist. Need to check Keepass also.
   
   Afterward, I can back up what is left and download a newer version of #Kubuntu.

   Hearing some rumors that #Firefox 79.0 upgrade hoses history and settings. I thought that might have been my case, but then discovered that most of my $HOME directory's contents are gone.

   http://status.hackerposse.com/url/21995 This sounds like a good idea, but (1) as a #Matrix user, I don't think the protocol or the implementing software are "ready for prime time" and (2) I don't see any sign that they have given much thought to NAT, firewalls, or DNS. An organization, once it has sufficient internally technology resources, could quickly get this working, but…

   http://status.hackerposse.com/url/21993 He's right that people are flushing toilets multiple times to dispose of waste that formerly would have gone down the first time * . That's a common complaint from people who have lived in places with pre-1992 fixtures. But these rules were based on laws passed by Congress. If we think they are not working, we need to go back to Congres…

   I see we're still in heat warnings. There was a gray overcast this morning and I thought the heat wave might be interrupted or ended.

    @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…

    Blew out all my dotfiles and most of my other homedir contents on my main laptop. Guess I'll install #Kubuntu 20.04.1 from scratch instead of upgrading from 18.04.

    I don't know whether they were wealthy or not, nor whether all of the relevant pollies and issue advocates were wealthy, but California and local government together regulated and priced my mom's business out of existence.
    
    She still hopes to reopen, but none of her kids or grandkids have the time, even if she had the money.

    "Taxation is theft" I know. You did not say this. Someone else said this. Okay, I've lived outside the city limits, in an area where road maintenance happened if someone with construction equipment had a day off and the desire. Those of us without such equipment figured out that they were more motivated if we stopped and gave them a little money for their gas, their time, and …

    "I would prefer it if there were no income taxes, only sales taxes." You're young and you still live under your parents' roof. Once you're supporting yourself fully, you will notice that people who make more money spend a smaller fraction of it because they can save and invest a larger portion. In plain English, that means that lower-income people pay more of their income in sa…

    I did not read #T-rump's announcement about payroll taxes and withholding, so this is not directly a response to that. It is more of a response to someone who was talking about taxation in reaction to the President's proposal. "Trump is going to eliminate payroll taxes" I doubt that. There are years of statutes and constitutional law behind income taxes, and he is not going to …

    I see #TD11 in the Atlantic, expected to become a tropical storm soon.
    
    In the Pacific, #TropStorm #Elida is weakening fast.
