Conduit is the easiest, fastest, leanest way to run a Matrix server. A single binary, and a small configuration file. Can’t beat that!

I was skeptical, but thanks to George—and after watching the hearing—I am more willing to believe, and agree that there needs to be more transparency on the findings on UAP (formerly UFO) phenomena. Let’s hope something substancial comes out of this.

If you decide to watch the hearing video, be aware it is 2 hours 18 minutes long. I found that seeing/listening it at 1.5x, or 2x worked best for me.

I am so tempted to install iOS 17 public beta! If anything for that Journal app, because I will use the heck out of it. Also because George told me “this is the only way we can test”. The fact that he already jumped in isn’t helping. 😅

Ugh, need to learn how to read the fine print. On the Journal app, from Apple, “Coming later this year”. Cry, cry, cry! Still, I think I will jump in.

Thanks to Claudine I am now binging Hall and Oates. I might not be having coffee, but they sure help a lot whilst working! :-)

And, so, the weekend begins. I have planned to mow the backyard today, but I am going to give my hands a break. Will do it tomorrow. Sunday I am passing by Ann’s to give her a hand moving some stuff from her garage to the attic. And that’s the weekend there. Yay! 😂
