Last Notes npub1s4sh0klykd845vdyjvxnuzf6xr9lhtm2zvnzvpt0qhf7f30gj2vqpnqku3 Jon Yoder Starting a 2-week caffeine detox today. This should be... interesting. npub1s4sh0klykd845vdyjvxnuzf6xr9lhtm2zvnzvpt0qhf7f30gj2vqpnqku3 Jon Yoder To resolve the #CrowdStrike outage today, #Microsoft recommended people repeatedly restart their PCs, up to 15 times. Seriously?! npub1s4sh0klykd845vdyjvxnuzf6xr9lhtm2zvnzvpt0qhf7f30gj2vqpnqku3 Jon Yoder I love it when the weather warms up to be not-cold because it's #grilling season again! npub1s4sh0klykd845vdyjvxnuzf6xr9lhtm2zvnzvpt0qhf7f30gj2vqpnqku3 Jon Yoder Here in Ohio today is supposed to be the hottest day of a weeklong #heatwave. This hits really close to home. Literally. npub1s4sh0klykd845vdyjvxnuzf6xr9lhtm2zvnzvpt0qhf7f30gj2vqpnqku3 Jon Yoder @npub1qh0…xeda Given what I see done and said by Christians, I don't blame you. npub1s4sh0klykd845vdyjvxnuzf6xr9lhtm2zvnzvpt0qhf7f30gj2vqpnqku3 Jon Yoder Pulled this from FB where it is *absolutely* needed, but a good reminder for all my believer friends here. npub1s4sh0klykd845vdyjvxnuzf6xr9lhtm2zvnzvpt0qhf7f30gj2vqpnqku3 Jon Yoder TIL that #SQLite is not great for multithreaded applications. *sigh* npub1s4sh0klykd845vdyjvxnuzf6xr9lhtm2zvnzvpt0qhf7f30gj2vqpnqku3 Jon Yoder @npub1l3g…vu48 The joys of middle age. NOT. npub1s4sh0klykd845vdyjvxnuzf6xr9lhtm2zvnzvpt0qhf7f30gj2vqpnqku3 Jon Yoder In the last few months I've gotten hooked on the zen workflow that is the vanilla #GNOME experience. The problem is that most GNOME-based distros are either too old for my hardware or too bleeding edge to be stable. npub1s4sh0klykd845vdyjvxnuzf6xr9lhtm2zvnzvpt0qhf7f30gj2vqpnqku3 Jon Yoder Today marks 5 whole years that I've been working hard to replace the dumpster fire that is e-mail. Hit the link to find out where we've been, where we are, and where we're going! npub1s4sh0klykd845vdyjvxnuzf6xr9lhtm2zvnzvpt0qhf7f30gj2vqpnqku3 Jon Yoder For all my #Christian friends out there, is anyone aware of something like a wiki which provides defensible reasoning for #Christianity? npub1s4sh0klykd845vdyjvxnuzf6xr9lhtm2zvnzvpt0qhf7f30gj2vqpnqku3 Jon Yoder Do not stand at your bowl and meow. npub1s4sh0klykd845vdyjvxnuzf6xr9lhtm2zvnzvpt0qhf7f30gj2vqpnqku3 Jon Yoder @npub1l3g…vu48 Especially when you're tired, which was me today. npub1s4sh0klykd845vdyjvxnuzf6xr9lhtm2zvnzvpt0qhf7f30gj2vqpnqku3 Jon Yoder @npub1fkz…8rsc I've tried Matrix, but it seems harder to use than necessary unless I'm missing something, and I've had instances of synced messages not decrypting. npub1s4sh0klykd845vdyjvxnuzf6xr9lhtm2zvnzvpt0qhf7f30gj2vqpnqku3 Jon Yoder A question for all of you: npub1s4sh0klykd845vdyjvxnuzf6xr9lhtm2zvnzvpt0qhf7f30gj2vqpnqku3 Jon Yoder Today I learned that apparently #JetBrains is OK with using pre-release quality software in production. npub1s4sh0klykd845vdyjvxnuzf6xr9lhtm2zvnzvpt0qhf7f30gj2vqpnqku3 Jon Yoder @npub1z3z…vzgc You might find it to be more sustainable than you think, as I have: a cynic's mind and a Christian's heart. There is push and pull, give and take. It's a dance that I've been living for quite some time. npub1s4sh0klykd845vdyjvxnuzf6xr9lhtm2zvnzvpt0qhf7f30gj2vqpnqku3 Jon Yoder I never thought I'd ever hear #country and #hiphop merge into something, let alone something that works. If you want to hear something different, give this a listen. npub1s4sh0klykd845vdyjvxnuzf6xr9lhtm2zvnzvpt0qhf7f30gj2vqpnqku3 Jon Yoder For all that people complain about the borrow checker in #Rust, one thing that is really good about it outside of it forcing you to write safe code: you have guarantees. No guessing about when the borrow checker is going to kick in and free that file handle for you. npub1s4sh0klykd845vdyjvxnuzf6xr9lhtm2zvnzvpt0qhf7f30gj2vqpnqku3 Jon Yoder A bottle of water can be $1 at the grocery store, $3 at a restaurant, $4 at the movies, and $6 at an airport. The only thing that changed its value is the place, so the next time you feel like you have no value, maybe you're in the wrong place. npub1s4sh0klykd845vdyjvxnuzf6xr9lhtm2zvnzvpt0qhf7f30gj2vqpnqku3 Jon Yoder @npub1836…8jp6 I'm keeping an eye on what @npub1vvu…pj6u is doing with COSMIC. npub1s4sh0klykd845vdyjvxnuzf6xr9lhtm2zvnzvpt0qhf7f30gj2vqpnqku3 Jon Yoder @npub1836…8jp6 I really wish that GUI options for Rust were more mature. The JVM ecosystem is great there, but Rust's tooling is so much more elegant. npub1s4sh0klykd845vdyjvxnuzf6xr9lhtm2zvnzvpt0qhf7f30gj2vqpnqku3 Jon Yoder Having one of those "is this real?" moments. Why? npub1s4sh0klykd845vdyjvxnuzf6xr9lhtm2zvnzvpt0qhf7f30gj2vqpnqku3 Jon Yoder Booted my gaming rig into #Windows for the first time in a few weeks. It was *painfully* slow. I've decided that while I will continue to support it at work, I will encourage everyone I know to use something else. Why use an inferior product if you don't have to? npub1s4sh0klykd845vdyjvxnuzf6xr9lhtm2zvnzvpt0qhf7f30gj2vqpnqku3 Jon Yoder @npub1l3g…vu48 @npub1n76…dl3s Of course not! Haven't you heard that Haiku's official text editor is Emacs? 😝 npub1s4sh0klykd845vdyjvxnuzf6xr9lhtm2zvnzvpt0qhf7f30gj2vqpnqku3 Jon Yoder @npub1l3g…vu48 @npub1n76…dl3s It is -- I learned *so* much writing software for BeOS and Haiku, and it's how I started my journey as a programmer. npub1s4sh0klykd845vdyjvxnuzf6xr9lhtm2zvnzvpt0qhf7f30gj2vqpnqku3 Jon Yoder Although some might not like #Manjaro because of how it is run/managed, I love it for the combination of easy installation combined with the software availability of #Arch. It's one of my favorite distributions for software development. npub1s4sh0klykd845vdyjvxnuzf6xr9lhtm2zvnzvpt0qhf7f30gj2vqpnqku3 Jon Yoder #Microsoft #Publisher is getting full-on deprecated in 2026. Another example of the huge downsides to #SaaS and proprietary software: you don't control your software at all, so the vendor can pull it whenever they feel like and you can't do anything with those files ever again. npub1s4sh0klykd845vdyjvxnuzf6xr9lhtm2zvnzvpt0qhf7f30gj2vqpnqku3 Jon Yoder This is a perfect example of how #Microsoft has developed #Windows to act like malware. I logged into a machine and was greeted with this popup. npub1s4sh0klykd845vdyjvxnuzf6xr9lhtm2zvnzvpt0qhf7f30gj2vqpnqku3 Jon Yoder @npub1aka…zzz2 it's good to know that someone else agrees with me on this. When I said that 'anything goes', I merely meant that anything is on the table if leadership votes for it, legally speaking. At the same time, everyone just wants to get through life and not have a bad time doing it. Right there with you npub1s4sh0klykd845vdyjvxnuzf6xr9lhtm2zvnzvpt0qhf7f30gj2vqpnqku3 Jon Yoder I want to start a conversation. #Christians aren't who they think they are. npub1s4sh0klykd845vdyjvxnuzf6xr9lhtm2zvnzvpt0qhf7f30gj2vqpnqku3 Jon Yoder It just hit me like a ton of bricks just how Mac-like #Ubuntu is. In literally 2 clicks I had a Dock without all the dumb inconsistencies that Apple has introduced. npub1s4sh0klykd845vdyjvxnuzf6xr9lhtm2zvnzvpt0qhf7f30gj2vqpnqku3 Jon Yoder @npub1pqs…c4cj Clif bar npub1s4sh0klykd845vdyjvxnuzf6xr9lhtm2zvnzvpt0qhf7f30gj2vqpnqku3 Jon Yoder @npub1ptm…2xku Then your knowledge of religion is more limited than you're aware of. npub1s4sh0klykd845vdyjvxnuzf6xr9lhtm2zvnzvpt0qhf7f30gj2vqpnqku3 Jon Yoder Hey you. Yeah. *You.* npub1s4sh0klykd845vdyjvxnuzf6xr9lhtm2zvnzvpt0qhf7f30gj2vqpnqku3 Jon Yoder Some days I don't think I get paid enough to support #Microsoft products, particularly #Windows and #Office365. Then there are other days, like today, where I **know** I don't. npub1s4sh0klykd845vdyjvxnuzf6xr9lhtm2zvnzvpt0qhf7f30gj2vqpnqku3 Jon Yoder @npub18yv…xxyn I can't help but wonder if this would be less common if the right way to handle installing packages in a way that accommodates versioning was easier and, you know, there weren't dozens of websites teaching you outdated or wrong ways to do things. 😑 npub1s4sh0klykd845vdyjvxnuzf6xr9lhtm2zvnzvpt0qhf7f30gj2vqpnqku3 Jon Yoder @npub1836…8jp6 For all the hate I see on Canonical's snap system, there's got to be some kind of benefit, as well, or else people wouldn't use it at all. npub1s4sh0klykd845vdyjvxnuzf6xr9lhtm2zvnzvpt0qhf7f30gj2vqpnqku3 Jon Yoder @npub18yv…xxyn While you're trying to figure out your next move, it might be worth trying to see if you can waggle a discount with GoodRx. It did wonders a few years ago when we had a gap in insurance coverage and I needed to pay for my son's ADHD meds npub1s4sh0klykd845vdyjvxnuzf6xr9lhtm2zvnzvpt0qhf7f30gj2vqpnqku3 Jon Yoder @npub1836…8jp6 I feel your pain. Just curious, what are you running into? npub1s4sh0klykd845vdyjvxnuzf6xr9lhtm2zvnzvpt0qhf7f30gj2vqpnqku3 Jon Yoder Today feel's like an #AndyMineo kind of day. npub1s4sh0klykd845vdyjvxnuzf6xr9lhtm2zvnzvpt0qhf7f30gj2vqpnqku3 Jon Yoder Finally got things going in #Gradle. I can't help but wonder why it is that so much in software development is unnecessarily difficult. npub1s4sh0klykd845vdyjvxnuzf6xr9lhtm2zvnzvpt0qhf7f30gj2vqpnqku3 Jon Yoder A weekend learning #Gradle. Not sure I feel completely comfortable just yet, but I think this is going to ultimately pay off. npub1s4sh0klykd845vdyjvxnuzf6xr9lhtm2zvnzvpt0qhf7f30gj2vqpnqku3 Jon Yoder Seen at work today. Go home, #Windows, you're drunk. #funny npub1s4sh0klykd845vdyjvxnuzf6xr9lhtm2zvnzvpt0qhf7f30gj2vqpnqku3 Jon Yoder Now I have #COVID. Can't a man get a break? npub1s4sh0klykd845vdyjvxnuzf6xr9lhtm2zvnzvpt0qhf7f30gj2vqpnqku3 Jon Yoder PSA: #Jesus loves you. Gay or straight. Cis or trans. Left or right. Regardless of any experiences you might have had with people who call themselves 'Christians', you're His child, He loves you, and you can *always* ask Him for help.
