Well, we can at least have confidence the Stars’ losing streak won’t go past 11 games. Question is whether they’ll muster any self respect to win one before then.

Living life dangerously and running the Ubuntu system upgrade on my VPS on a Friday night. One weird issue I had to debug but got it cleaned up and now I’m happy and up-to-date on 24.04.2 LTS.
A brief Good Friday reflection, from the vantage point of our troubled days.
Good Friday is to stand helplessly before imperial and religious power with no recourse. It is to recognize that the tragedies unfolding obviously before our eyes cannot be stopped by any well-argued point, any appeal to dignity or justice, any cry to heaven.
I felt all of this keenly as I was reading part of the Gospel text tonight at our Good Friday service. Lord, have mercy.

It’s a cooking day for me: sugar cookie bars are done, gooey butter cake just came out, and there’s brisket on the smoker.

A delightful little mystery.
Starting out the long weekend right with a run. Not sure what was better about today, but I shaved 1m15s off my previous best 5k yet this year. (Still only 28:40 so not great yet, but progress!)
Had a weird hiccup with Tailscale yesterday that pushed me to get a couple installs upgraded and re-logged-in. Which mostly highlighted to me how magical Tailscale is as a VPN solution the 99.9% of the time it’s working properly. It really does just work.
Good lord, I don’t care if you’ve already got your playoff seed set, a 7-game losing streak is not the way you want to head into the playoffs. The way they’re playing the last two weeks the Stars will go out quick in the first round and have a lot of explaining to do.
