I checked, it's still there! (It doesn't append, it overwrites, so no, I just have a file with the current date and time accurate to within two minutes.)

Syrup. Affable. Eh?

I did the hackiest, lamest thing back in the day... I had my client write the current date and time to a file on the share every two minutes as a Cron job... Kept it working for months! I saw it on a forum somewhere, tried it, and... Shocked Pikachu face I don't know if I ever disabled that Cron job! Haha!

I've had two different unihertz models, and neither of them could stay on any wifi, and both of them dropped calls like crazy. I contacted customer support, and they 'offered' to swap for another exact same phone, if I paid to ship both ways, and I didn't mind having no phone for a month. Jelly 2, and Atom XL. The Atom was especially bad as it has a giant bloody antenna sticking out the top of it, and still no WiFi!

Avoid Unihertz.

Breakaway charge cable for my phone! They act like those old MagSafe chargers for Mac, and when I'm clumsy, instead of a busted off charge port, no damage! I also have curious cats who can test gravity without wrecking my phone.

Amazing! 16 years with Ubuntu, and now I know!

I thought that dogs were boys and cats were girls. No idea why.

Its funny, my niece made it to like 8 thinking that aunts were adults and uncles were kids. She had one young uncle, and me. Called me "Auntie Phanto." I still haven't lived it down.

Wait... Someone explain things to me!

Yeah, I did try that. Basically, if I doubled the memory I allocated, I gave it half again longer before it crashed, but it still crashed, eventually.

It's no big deal, this was last year, I may try again one day. Loving Searxng though!

I tried running yacy for a while but it just ran for a bit less than a day then ran out of memory and crashed, over and over. Tried to figure out the problem, but it's niche enough that I couldn't get anywhere googling the issue.

Mid Forties... 20 hour flight. Agony. No sleeping, got up a bunch of times, didn't stop joint pain, back pain... Ugh. Some people can't sit still for that long without issues.

My local library has a tech mentors program where you teach people how to work computers. I do it once every two weeks. It makes me feel like a rock star every time I go. If you're on Lemmy, you're qualified.

Changed everything for me!

Also looks good on a resume.
