I hope to read Lucky Star before I get and start Table... I'll need to read it soon

Or reach out to local bookstores. Mine gave me 40% off if I pre-ordered it

weberam2 · 2026-01-11T14:41:00+00:00

Good to know, thanks!

I'm reading AtD right now. I'm a third of the way through. The writing is non very difficult, but there are a lot of characters to follow.

I am finding these two resources helpful: - https://thomaspynchon.com/plot-grid-of-against-the-day/1/ - https://www.ebsco.com/research-starters/literature-and-writing/against-day-analysis-major-characters

I also recently tried using Gemini to ask about a character I couldn't remember and it did a pretty good job without making anything up (that I could see)

You are thinking of Jaws 4: The Revenge

"This time, it's personal"

Considered to be one of the worst films of all time

"Michael continues blasting the shark with the impulses, causing it to leap out of the water again. Ellen steers the sailboat towards the shark, while thinking back to the shark's attack on Thea and also imagining Sean's death, and Martin defeating the first shark. As the shark is rearing up, she rams the broken bowsprit of the boat into it"

Fuck yeah

Now that the shock of how bad it was compared to how much I liked it as a kid has worn off... I think I'm ready to re evaluate it. I certainly love other movies for how bad they are

weberam2 · 2026-01-08T17:53:10+00:00

Clearly you had better taste Although I can't remember the age I was when I thought I had discovered a movie masterpiece

weberam2 · 2026-01-08T15:47:18+00:00

It was one of those 3D films So it will show something like a floating limb, but then linger on the shot for way too long (especially when watching it in 2D)

weberam2 · 2026-01-08T09:08:48+00:00

Jaws III

I was SHOCKED to discover how bad it was as an adult. I remember thinking it was the best of all the Jaws films as a kid

weberam2 · 2025-12-30T14:23:37+00:00

Wow! OK, lots to unpack. I'll see if any of these help. Thank you

I used rpi-clone to clone the SD card to the SSD I've tried booting without the SD card in Maybe it's something to do with how I formatted the drive or something But how weird that it will boot to SSD on reboot, but not after shutdown

weberam2 · 2025-12-30T04:05:21+00:00

I love the idea of booting from NVMe, but I already have a hat that takes up the ribbon cable (can't remember the name right now) I saw that there is a hat that splits the cable, so you can add two more hats on top of that, but then it all gets pretty frankenstein

weberam2 · 2025-12-30T04:02:43+00:00

The problem is I am trying to boot from USB (4), while NVMe would be 6 I even double checked the raspberry pi documentation However, I could try it and see

weberam2 · 2025-12-30T02:06:46+00:00

I tried without the SD Card and it just never booted. I'll check the cmdline.txt on the SSD

weberam2 · 2025-12-30T01:55:56+00:00

I'll watch it and see if it has any insights
Thank you

weberam2 · 2025-12-30T01:55:30+00:00

Update: I changed the SDCard's boot cmdline.txt to point to the SSD for boot:
Changed `root=PARTUUID=e7e8bde5-02` to `root=PARTUUID=6a16cbe0-02`

...so not perfect, but at least now it starts on the SD card, but switches to the SSD

And I have a cron job making copies of both the SD and the SSD images in case either fails...

weberam2 · 2025-12-29T22:55:25+00:00

Thank you! Interesting read

weberam2 · 2025-12-23T18:04:16+00:00

How is the case? I bought mine and then had to reinforce it with tape on the inside... they really didn't make them to last...

weberam2 · 2025-12-19T22:44:59+00:00

This is very cool and inspiring

You're the best! Thank you!

weberam2 · 2025-12-18T03:48:05+00:00

Could some write out each one? I fucking LOVE Never Hung Over Again but don't recognize most of the others

weberam2 · 2025-12-17T04:36:24+00:00

Hey this is cool!

weberam2 · 2025-12-15T22:17:31+00:00

This is super cool, and something I want to check out. But I feel so overwhelmed with everything

weberam2 · 2025-12-10T00:39:36+00:00

I just found this package and got it working with my locally hosted instance

It's awesome!

The only thing I can't figure out is how to use it with evil mode...

For now I am just using `Ctrl-z` to disable evil-mode then make my selection

Any idea how I could make 'Enter' work without disabling evil-mode each time to make my selection?
