I just found out I can ssh into my reMarkable 2 electronic paper gadget. First thing I'll need to do is see just exactly what it's equipped with. If there's anything at all in the way of dev tools there (I'm guess there won't be) that could be fun... 2025-01-01 01:05:59 I'm visiting my in-laws with my wife. Earlier I made mayonnaise (alioli), talked on the phone with my girlfriend who has been staying with a Christian cult in Brazil 2025-01-01 01:06:13 xentrac: according the Chuck the GA144 is awfully low power. 2025-01-01 01:06:22 Like best in class level. 2025-01-01 01:06:39 I'm headed over to my mother-in-laws in a little bit too. 2025-01-01 01:07:22 It's the New Year's Eve tradition. Since my father-in-law died my wife and I have kind of inherited the Thanksgiving ownership, but the MIL hung on to New Year's Eve. 2025-01-01 01:07:51 Seabass_: glibc has xmalloc() which exits the program with an error if the allocation failed 2025-01-01 01:08:19 We just did Christmas presents earlier today - my wife had covid last week and wasn't up to it.

I hope she's feeling okay? 2025-01-01 01:24:42 She was punk for a few days but seems to be feeling a whole lot better now; thanks. 2025-01-01 01:31:39 it hits differently each time for me 2025-01-01 02:01:30 I've only had it once, and it barely even felt like a cold. Both of my daughters that are "holiday residing" here got under the weather, but didn't test positive. I just sailed right through with no ill effects at all. 2025-01-01 02:01:57 Best I can tell I have a pretty robust immune system. Or maybe have just been lucky, but that's over six decades of luck, so I don't know. 2025-01-01 02:03:22 you never know! the first couple of times I got it weren't so bad, but I haven't really recovered from the third one in 7 months 2025-01-01 02:08:28 Ouch. Yeah, apparently it can be awfully bad sometimes. One of my favored science communicators got a bout and wound up with long covid that she's still suffering from, and it's been years at this point. Really bad juju. I have to admit that just looking at her in her videos was NOT my least favorite part by a long shot - I hope we get her back at some point. Anyway, I hope you kick it on out 2025-01-01 02:08:30 sometime soon. 2025-01-01 02:21:49 I'm not still infected, but my long-term memory seems a lot worse 2025-01-01 02:22:54 :-( 2025-01-01 02:23:43 that also happens as you get old 2025-01-01 05:06:54 thrig: could happen, but it was rather sudden
