Upgraded my Mastodon instance to 4.1.4. Forever grateful to the “Update Notifications” bot which remind us all running the software to upgrade/update as needed. I would probably be in troubles without it.

I have changed so many things here ever since I started, I should have kept a change log. I know I have the git log, but it isn’t the same. Maybe it is not too late to start? Meh, on second thoughts… too lazy. Day’s almost over now, better do something productive. You know, like watching some Korean series. Ha!

If you have an Apple device (iPhone, iPad, Watch, AppleTV, Mac), please update it as soon as possible. This, as with any other security updates, I stress, must be done as soon as you can.

For iPhone/iPad, go to “Settings → General → Software Update”, and choose to install. For WatchOS, go to “Settings → General → Software Update”, and follow the instructions to upgrade. Finally, for macOS go to “System Settings → General → Software Update” (on older versions is a bit different, but you get the general idea).

I have managed to break links a bit further, and it is no longer possible—nor the old ones will work—to create anchor links within the paginated index. On the upside, I am not touching URIs ever again!

VisionPro is going to be something. But its true popularity will come down to its pricing, and how many games (yes, games) they get on-boarded. I am hopeful, though.

It will cost $3,500. When a meal for three on a not-super-fancy restaurant costs $260, it is easy to see how a TV, computer, and high definition camera all in one—and that barely starts to describe VisionPro—will cost that much.

Based on what I have seen of Landscape, and MAAS, I would say Red Hat doesn’t have to worry much about Canonical, when it comes to Linux on the enterprise.

How is the Windows XP algorithm been cracked news? If someone offered me $10,000 to use Windows XP, I would pass.

Obsidian is working so great for me, that has made me go out and look for things I want to keep, and catalogue, and enhance. On another note, it is past midnight, and I don’t feel a speckle of sleepiness. My body must know tomorrow… err, today is Saturday.

Having grown tired of seeing “Added or edited a note, or tweaked something.” on the commit logs for these notes, I have now tweaked the new note script to ask for a commit message. This is the maiden voyage, let’s see if it works.

It works! Added editing old notes too. Considering migrating from the vi editor to Typora for any note with media in it.

Google Passkey is a step in the right direction. Setup, and in use. Smooth.

“Rapid Security Responses are a new type of software release for iPhone, iPad and Mac. They deliver important security improvements between software updates – for example, improvements to the Safari web browser, the WebKit framework stack or other critical system libraries. They may also be used to mitigate some security issues more quickly, such as issues that may have been exploited or reported to exist.” — Rapid Security Responses

This is new, at least for me, and interesting. There seems to be more to gain than to lose by installing, and enabling it. Done!

I have moved this one out of GitHub. With this move, I now do not have any website running on that service. It served me well for years, but now it is time to move on. It will remain my go to for git repositories, but nothing else.
