Oh, I just remembered, I need to fire up my travel network rig and update the firmware and software. Also, I ran the battery for about 5 hours last night while at the Selectboard meeting, so it needs to be recharged. That took me down to 63% capacity, which is not bad.

Still, if I were making this again, instead of one 25 Ah powerbank, I'd use two smaller ones, since this one powerbank cannot power the two devices and be charged at the same time.

YEP. Wrong address again. That means the router config was completely wiped. Fortunately, it wasn't a very complex config, so it will only take a minute to fix, but I shouldn't have to. Thanks, tp-link.

Strangely, the WIFI SSID and passkey settings were retained, but the IP settings were reverted to the factory default.

Okay, sports fans, I've restored 4.3.9 on my private server. Yay!

The problem was that I had updated ruby. That caused local extensions to not be found. The solution was to do this:

gem pristine --all

and enjoy a cup of coffee. The errors stopped, everything was happy again, & I restarted the servers.

I'll pin this one on both servers for a while to spread the solution for "Source locally installed gems is ignoring [whatever] because it is missing extensions."

According to unsealed court documents, the Trump administration relied on an anti-Palestinian doxxing site to identify student protesters to target. The testimony came from Peter Hatch, a senior official with ICE’s Homeland Security Investigations during a Boston court case challenging Trump’s deportation policy. According to Hatch, the Department of Homeland Security developed a “tiger team” [...]

If you're looking for #xkcd comics on the Fedi, my recommendation is @xkcd. It has the comics, the "title text" (the little bonus joke you usually get when hovering with your mouse over the comic), _and_ pretty good alt texts. And the "What If" videos, too.

One thing its alt texts lack is the names of the characters, like "Cueball", "Megan", or "Black Hat". The "Transcript" section on explainxkcd.com/ is slightly better in that regard.

I follow @xkcdbot, which does use names in the alt text (no WI? videos though)

seems like OpenAI shouldn’t be able to claim any copyright ownership.

But if the product gets popular and makes money, will they?

The final paragraph sums up my feelings about this perfectly:

"My feelings on this are conflicted," he wrote. "I'm happy to add a tool that helps people. But I feel like our hand was forced in a weird way. Should we really be developing features in response to misinformation?"

This is a nice thing but it feels wrong.
