I'm a great driver, but I hate driving. Running through my town is one of the most dangerous roads in America: US-19. Lots of stoplights and a seemingly random pattern of 45mph to 55mph runs. Once you get to Clearwater, it opens up a bit to overpasses, and those are much less stressful.

Pretty cool. My DAC works with the phone. Now I'm streaming Play Dead in 24-bit / 192 KHz. This is notable because I don't get that resolution through the brower app on the laptop.

I'm somewhat older now, so that's it for really simple anymore, but I know that if I watch my diet, don't drink beer, and exercise, I'll take it all off again...

I'm seriously thinking about running a Write Freely instance for myself and friends because it is very easy to set up, but my only gripe is that they don't have any Android apps. How can that be? Why would you create a server instance that only supports Apple devices? It can still be used on the Web, though...

2026-06-01T18:10:09Z

For anyone interested in a mystery. My original American ancestor was named M. Nicar and he immigrated to Norfolk, VA in the late 18th century from Heidelberg, Germany. This is the puzzle. The surname is very rare in the United States and none of us researching it have any idea of where M was originally from because Nicar is not German or Austrian. He's not Asian or Black. I'd like to know if anyone in Europe, Middle East, or North Africa have had any contact with this surname and its possible connection to Germany. Boosts are greatly appreciated.

I felt somewhat the same last Sunday for the Super Bowl party. When I sat down to eat I got the cold sweats from all the activity and the noise around me. And I ate alone for that very reason. Which is why I usually drink like a fish at these things, but I hadn't this time. I did all the frying, though, which I was very comfortable with. I guess if I just keep going, I don't feel out of place or annoyed...

I forget who the Arch Linux expert out there is, but I can't get wireguard to resolve DNS at all. And my laptop has the exact same setup, and it works fine. I have tried everything I can think of or look up. If anybody out there can help me shed some light on this, I'm using a ProtonVPN config. Thanks! And a boost would be welcome if you're amenable... ;>)

Isn't UEFI the default writing mode now? Surely Fedora has a legacy image you can download. Also, I'd use Balena Etcher to write the image. It is basically foolproof. This is also a very useful tool:
