I've been using unix for a number of decades and just today learned that a directory with its write bits removed can be renamed if it stays in the same parent directory, but cannot be moved out of its parent directory

wtf? the permission of the parent directory should be all that prevents that would have been my assumption..

stopped by the mod shop this afternoon to get a new body part built and installed

"karen" is a common noun now. Update your word lists.

latest victim of starlink

this poplar was 25 years old so probably was left growing since the house was built

it would have blocked view for maybe 30 seconds an hour

only 15 more to go

also planning to innoculate quite a lot of logs with shitaake mushrooms..

dropped a tree trunk yesterday right on a blueberry bush, and totally flattened it.

I hope it will regrow, but I think I'm gonna take cuttings from it and try to start several new bushes.

I've opened up the space for them as a side effect of this starlink project.

got a new 18" chainsaw (greenworks)

found the tree cutting guy I need for the large stuff

started on the small stuff (100 feet or so)

newest google maps routing fun: Entering my address, including zip code, takes people to a different county.

People who have not bothered to look at the map and ended up in some field an hour away from me: 2

oops my commit message grew to include a sad story from my childhood ISDN days

Finally found #covid19 seroprevelance data for the US.

https://covid.cdc.gov/covid-data-tracker/#nationwide-blood-donor-seroprevalence

Current value is 94% of the population has antibodies from infection or vaccination.

I've been curious about this number for 2 years. Using blood donations to get it is neat but could bias it a bit?

the temp install next to the onion bed

Starlink obstructions 2 weeks later. So much worse.. leaves.

It's offline 5 minutes per hour now.

I have started clearing the permanant install location, in the blueberry garden.

There are very few spots here where I can avoid obstructions entirely, due to topography.

that routing makes no more sense than the co2 sequestration nfts he was schilling

Lol how do I still have a Clipper card in my wallet after all this time?

shout out to my state's websites which claim that Real Id is needed for air travel since 2021 (it's not, got extended)

people complain about osmand+ not being as usable as google navigation... but google recently took a visitor on this 25 minute detour

there is a patch of highway here google refuses to route on, using a tiny back road instead

my friend stayed on the highway and could have taken a left turn to destination, instead google routed them on a rural "round the block"

Starlink power usage overnight. Interesting how much it varies. I suspect some of the spikes may be increasing transmission power when obstructed.

(Subtract my 15 watt base load to get actual watts used by starlink.)
