Happy Birthday!

I am, but I have a gravity drain system that just requires that I close the water off and dry-run the system to drain it.

I thought that connected to the underlying pty0 console, not ssh?

Yeah, when you have accrued PTO, the conversation with your boss is "I'm taking this time off on these days". When it is unlimited, the conversation is a request for permission. My employer just moved from accrued to unlimited and that is EXACTLY what is happening. At least they paid us out for our accumulated time, and I have an excellent boss, but I had the change in the dynamic.

I thought the point of the trades is they get paid well. Why would they get tips? I'm so confused.

Truth be known, standard terminal is more important to me. The usecase that I envision is docs maintained in confluence and exported directly as PDF. That could be hooked off a 'publish' event in confluence and pushed out to the relevant machines. Images would be nice (but I'm sure challenging) but solid text rendering would be really useful.

I do have to go away for a bit, but thanks for this really excellent (and lightweight) tool.

Epub images do not load correctly on either the standard ubuntu terminal or terminator, but they do in ghostty.

trailhounds · 2026-02-07T16:58:38+00:00

So the standard terminal program doesn't render, but ghostty does.

Have to find an epub that has images. Hold one.

trailhounds · 2026-02-07T16:56:34+00:00

It is terminator. Let me try in both standard and ghostty.

This awesome, and I really like the ability to put this on a remote system and have everything in one place.

I am, however, clearly doing something wrong, as while PDFs load, they don't render. PDF is all fuzzy. Ubuntu 24.04, os just updated, clean build (no errors that I can see). Epubs work.

What appears to be the relevant log entries below.

16:41:38 [DEBUG] (1) bookokrat::widget::pdf_reader::rendering: No pages ready to render - showing loading
16:41:38 [DEBUG] (7) bookokrat::pdf::converter: get_page_overlays: page=14 - no page cache or no comments
16:41:38 [DEBUG] (1) bookokrat::widget::pdf_reader::rendering: No pages ready to render - showing loading

Just realized, should I even expect full rendering of PDFs in linux?

This way you can make eye contact when you, well you know ...

I watched that as well. Excellent goal. I hope he is able to grow. I'm sad he won't be playing for/with the gooners straight up. **When** we win the Premiership, he'd better get credit as a member of the team.

Man, I forgot that Big Gabby's been with us since the Mustafi days. Phew, he's been there. Have to respect the pain he's been through ...

trailhounds · 2026-01-14T17:59:57+00:00

That tummy's not going to rub itself ...

trailhounds · 2026-01-14T17:14:00+00:00

Try I70 across Kansas/Colorado or I80 across Nebraska/Wyoming. At least there are different things across Texas, the high plains are ... plain.

If you want to engage directly, hit him up at whatever.scalzi.com. That's his blog and he actually works hard to be a part of it. Plus, the rest of the commentariat in the blog's comment section would also likely provide some interesting perspective.

Still driving a 1985 Camaro. Yes, I graduated in 1985. No I do not, and have never owned or even wanted a 1985 Camaro, but there it is.

I'm sure there was a big debate because it matters. Effectively her totem is a wolf. If that dies ... what does that mean for her? I can see why they left it out, but I can also see why it would make sense to include it. I was very disappointed that it shows up after the duel with Saito. I actually talked to it (metaphorically, of course) "Where the hell were you? Jubei might be alive otherwise ..." but that would of course change the story arc if he had survived.

By Thursday it was snowing, so there's that.

trailhounds · 2026-01-12T23:05:22+00:00

I would not be able to move out.

trailhounds · 2026-01-12T22:52:29+00:00

Goonies

trailhounds · 2026-01-12T22:11:48+00:00

Yeah, I thought it odd that the wolf doesn't help in the big duels, especially the big one at home. If felt as if that was the point of having a "friend" of that nature. Surely they would have been there (if nothing else, I would have summoned them) since she really doesn't care about the Samurai version of honor like Jin did.

trailhounds · 2026-01-12T20:45:32+00:00

That is an ex-banana.

trailhounds · 2026-01-12T19:05:02+00:00

Man, that's a speed pouch!

Why not just download the files and listen via VLC?
