Haha so our ISO is having an extended (planned) outage but I forgot to tell our son who tried to fix things by rebooting the house router but apparently the router keeps its config on Someone Else’s Computer* so not only is the internet down but so is the home network and I have to wait for the internet to come back to see if the router comes back or if I’m spending the weekend rebuilding our network from scratch (and this time writing it down). *AKA “The Cloud” #InternetOfShit

The patient is a 13-year old MacBook Pro undergoing a radical battery and keyboard transplant. Fingers crossed that it survives the operation. #ifixit #diy #righttorepair #macbookpro

@shapr@recurse.social I used to use a git repo. It was fine, except I would inevitably forget to pull or push changes and then have to deal with conflicts or wonder why I can’t find that thing I wrote yesterday. I’m currently using #Syncthing (https://syncthing.net/) to keep files on each device in sync with my local file server. Working great so far.

My daily driver for nearly 10 years, this MacBook Pro from 2015 has a swollen battery. This repair was much easier. Only four components to remove before getting to the battery, which went straight to the hazardous waste drop-off. Again, thanks to @iFixit@mastodon.social for parts and an excellent guide. Who knows, maybe I’ll get another ten years out of it. #ifixit #diy #righttorepair #macbookpro

@pluralistic@mamot.fr You don't even have to wait to sell your stock! "Tax-Loss Harvesting" allows you to save up that loss for sometime in the future. Then you turn around and buy the stock you just sold. It's basically a free tax deduction!

@isotopp@infosec.exchange @cstross@wandering.shop The parts that you mention _are_ the parts that should be modular and repairable, especially on a laptop: The i/o connectors, they keyboard, the display, the lid hinge, and most importantly the battery. Those are the things that break. Those are the things I need to be able to repair or replace. I currently have TWO MBPs that need replacement batteries, and it's such a gnarly job that they may not survive the attempt. If I can't repla...

Last summer I made this cutting board out of some walnut scraps laying around. It was great until it split badly. I threw it back in the shop, thinking I’d cut out and rebuild the split area. The shop stays at 64F in the winter. In the last few months the split has closed and disappeared completely. I can’t find it no matter how closely I inspect it (it didn’t split along any glue line). So I guess I’ll keep using it until it splits again? #woodworking #cooking
