    I agree that it probably should be legal-ish. I think maximum curb gaps are a great idea, and minimum curb gaps are probably a good idea in areas where curb cleaning might frequently overlap with parking. But smarts and cycles should almost always be allowed to double-up within the same F-150-sized space.



  • Bah, there’s a LOT of devices that could talk to my father’s phone over the LAN if they were programmed that way. But, they aren’t. They report to a wall-known “cloud” server, and the app on his phone checks that same server for the latest status or to relay command/control.

    Nice advantage: can get status / send commands even when he is not on the LAN. Bad disadvantage: when the rural Internet blinks out (like every time it rains) he can’t tell the robo-vac which rooms to start cleaning.





  • I’ve been using it on my laptop, and it’s been doing weird things that my X11 never did. It’s like rescaling or antialiasing or doing something with the fonts in my terminal while I’m using it. But, enough works that I’m gonna stick with it for now.

    Also, I’m not able to use my preferred window manager XMonad under Wayland so far. Maybe at some point there will be a way to combine Wayland, KDE Plasma, and real window manager simply. (But, KDE Plasma has been getting more and more hostile to alternative window managers even on X11; I can’t been able to cleanly close my user session in months.)




  • Oh, I didn’t realize naked butts as part of full-height bottomless illustrations were SFW. Did I miss some explicit rules? My last in-office workplace would not put up with this as cube art, and my last workplace wouldn’t appreciate this in any of the group chats.

    I don’t really care that much, but this feels over the line to me.











  • Technically my renews aren’t automated. I have a nightly cronjob that should renew certificates and restart services, but when the certificates need renewal, it always fails because it wants to open a port I’m already using in order to answer the challenge.

    I hear there’s an apache module / configuration I can use, but I never got around to setting it up. So, when the cron job fails, I get an email and go run a script that stops apache, renews certs, and restarts services (including apache). I will be a bit annoying to have to do that more often, but maybe it’ll help motivate me to configure apache (or whatever) correctly.
