Fine start to fall. #sourdough baked in wood stove with a very small firelet.

landed a great bandwidth-limiting feature in git-annex today, which works with so many different ways to schlep data...

... thing is it's implemented on top of the progress reporting interface. Before displaying a progress bar (or whatever) it does the necessary pause to rate limit.

Ugh. Seems so wrong, but also so right.

Ferry I thought I had caught. Oh well setting up camp in the dark..

The new bridge at Pea Island is an impressive start to what I imagine will eventually be a causeway all down the #obx as they fragment and wash away.

Catching the last 4:30 ferry to Ocracoke of the season. Left home at 6:30 am

wow, I've forgotten how involved the prep for these trips is

Half an hour in the gym.. that should start the fire for a couple weeks this winter so only ten times this to go. Easy

But cloth-mask wearers didn’t have significantly fewer coronavirus antibodies as determined by blood tests. “We cannot reject that [cloth masks] have zero or only a small impact on symptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infections,” Abaluck wrote along with Mushfiq Mobarak of Yale, Laura Kwong of UC Berkeley, Stephen Luby and Ashley Styczynski of Stanford, and other researchers.

"But this turned out to be false: Branson did not pedal to work that day; the bike ride was filmed a week earlier and then made to look like it happened that morning." -- https://www.newyorker.com/news/news-desk/the-red-warning-light-on-richard-bransons-space-flight

seems like, in some situations, cp -a of a file on a NFS filesystem might copy an xattr that overrides the file mode, making a chmod ineffective?!

This kind of thing is why I stopped using NFS filesystems in 1997. Pity about my users.

21179 chmod(".git/annex/othertmp/foo.0/foo", 0100644) = 0
21179 stat(".git/annex/othertmp/foo.0/foo", {st_mode=S_IFREG|0444, st_size=20, ...}) = 0

Oh yeah. This is gonna be a fun one.

Wow I forgot about this web browser that I used in 1994.
