Television tuned to a dead channel - Mastodon 03-30

I changed ISPs recently and had to change some of my network gear which meant moving to a new subnet. I’ve always used DHCP, there isn’t anything too unconventional about my setup. Everything, laptops, phones, smart home devices, etc. has moved over to the new subnet fine. My kids’ Chromebooks (from school), however, continue to be attached to the old subnet. I’ve tried “forgetting” the network, rebooting, flushing caches, nothing works. I continue to believe Chromebooks are shit! 03-26

My family owns Disney Vacation Club (think timeshare for Disney) and we’ve decided we won’t be going to the States this year. Previous to this, we went to #DisneyWorld every year for the past 6 years. At this point, I don’t know when we’ll go back. 03-23

This is so true: If you think woke is the problem, try reading the US Constitution and amendments. Really read them. Pretend you didn’t know it was the Constitution. One woke idea after another. Basically if you don’t believe in woke, you’re in the wrong freaking country. 12-28

I use #Hugo for my blog, and I have a number of embedded tweets using the built-in tweet shortcode. If this shortcode is unable to fetch the tweet when the site is building, the build fails. As such, I’ve been seeing a lot of build failures because of deleted tweets and deleted twitter accounts lately. 12-03

I loaded my Twitter archive into my blog. Haven’t decided if I’m going to delete all my tweets from Twitter, or delete my Twitter account entirely, or maybe just leave everything. Dunno. 11-07
