<h2>Dumb Shit</h2>
<p>Finally got a wild hare up my ass and redid the CSS. Again. Outside of that, only thing that's been going on is what feels like the collapse of my circle of friends. F. Oh, and Matrix I guess.</p>
<p>I'm not gonna get into the details of it here since this <em>is</em> a public blog and my friends <em>can</em> (read: don't) read it from time to time. Hell, nobody does. But regardless, what <em>did</em> happen feels unjust and I can't help but feel partially responsible for it. I know I wasn't the axeman, but being supportive isn't a virtue.</p>
<p>I'm still sorry, Sam.</p>
<div class="break"></div>
<p>Anyway, onto other happenings.</p>
<p>I now have a Matrix server with open registrations! Check out <a href="/matrix">the setup page</a> for details. At the time of writing, the tutorial still mentions Riot, but it's been rebranded to Element. Should still be the same loose set of steps.</p>
<p>I finally broke down and bought a Pinephone on like the 22nd, just waiting for that to arrive. From what I understand it and PMOS are actually in a pretty useable state, all things considered. Can't wait to have to hack together something to actually make a darn telephone call. At least I've got the know-how to automate whatever dumb bubblegum-and-duct-tape fix I brew up now.</p>
<p>As for the CSS, I'm sure you've probably noticed that a lot has changed. I'm trying to bring this place into more-or-less parity with the rest of my rice. I know it's not exactly the most productive pasttime, but it's therapeutic: just sit back, throw on some nice relaxing music, and write away. Helluva lot less frustrating than trying to diagnose an incomplete Nagios deployment (though I do still need to finish that, fuck). Everything's a bit boxier, a bit tighter, less round and weird, and ideally more useable.</p>
<p>I'm also finding it pretty hard to stay on-task with all this technical shit lately, think I might be getting burnt out. I mean, it's a third shift work-from-home position and all my other hobbies involve computers in some way; there's nothing else it could be. Whenever it may be, I need to take the next chance I get to jump away from all this for a while.</p>
<p>Mad about politics,</p>
<p>But what can you do.</p>
