I’ve spent too much time looking into what versions of PHP will work for my various projects over the next few years.
I’m surrendering. I just don’t have the attention span to string something ancient along.
I still love NetBSD, but I’m not sure there’s much of a place for it anymore. This was part of the discussion yesterday with the lawyer working on my disability claim. Can I do work? Maybe. Do I get distracted, and forget what I was doing? Absolutely. Can I sit through additional “education” to pay the entrance fee to allow me into the racket that is modern IT? Maybe…? I don’t even know.
I’m still really trying to get accustomed to doing all configuration via a CLI prompt instead of editing a config file. I suppose it’s something that I could have anticipated given IBM’s sponsorship of Postfix, but I still am not completely comfortable with it.
The accustomed-factor plays into the MS stuff. The cognitive effects of MS are known. They’re very difficult to quantitate, and even more difficult to justify to someone else. Just snap out of it! Smoke some weed, man; it works for Montel!
And, as evidence, I end up watching The Podfather on with Rogan talking about it.
But, back to the topic, I just want something that I can use for the foreseeable future to relax and write, as well as keep up the smoldering remains of other things I’ve cobbled together over the years.
So it’s something to work on over “the holidays.”
I’m still trying to get my main arguments together for my next OWT. Kind of a chicken-or-the-egg thing with that, though. Do I really focus on writing good stuff, or do I start trying to bring in some money with it?
As I mentioned in my recent entry, “Unblocked,” there’s all sorts of things I’d like to say. The news cycle, however, is something I really can’t bring myself to care about too much.
Whatever the issue, the fiscal irresponsibility of the past twenty-five years blocks my OUTRAGE over whatever else there is.
The Federal debt has tripled since 2009. I’ve been following up that fact statement with an encouragement that it be said aloud.
Bubuhbut ICE!!1!
The size of the Federal Debt has tripled since 2009.
Bubuhbut Minnesota Medicare!!1!
The size of the Federal Debt has tripled since 2009.
But Epstein!
The size of the Federal Debt has tripled since 2009.
All Trump’s fault!
The size of the Federal Debt has tripled since 2009.
(And OrangeManBad’s decisions really only matter in about three of those years considering the Russia stuff, and COVID.)
*yawn*
This episode was an interesting listen. I do think, partially, the attempts to adhere to etiquette result in less consumption as well as consumption of better stuff. Was I ever really hungry with a small plate of amazing food? Nope. Did I enjoy the big drinks? Yeah, but, again, it’s an issue where quality over quantity can be important. Are the EXTRA BIGASS FRIES from Carl’s Jr. better than the small portion of something better?
I don’t think so.
