a tilde blog about tildes and non-tildes or something

A longer inactivity…

I did nothing on here. Basically for months.

Kind of surprised they didn’t just delete my account, even though I attempted to backup my tilde blog like constantly (which also seems to have failed).

So, imac is down again. It’s another sudden power outage, which seems to be happening quite more often. I’m not sure why that’s happening, but what I do know is that it’s happening, which is annoying, because I have 2 solutions:

  1. Get imac to boot after power failure.

    I still haven’t figured out how to do that on Linux. Plus, it’s down right now, so I can’t test right now.

  2. Get a UPS.

    An option that costs money. However, I’m too lazy to move around places too, and I don’t know of which stores that sell UPSes.

    This prevents the imac from suddenly losing power in the middle of doing things, and it can safely shutdown as needed. In fact, because laptop-server has its own battery (it’s a laptop after all), I have configured it to shutdown on low battery (which seems to drain pretty fast for some reason, maybe I need a replacement and a way to take care of it).

  3. Let the cycle happen again

    Currently what I’m doing. Free of cost, but not free of pain.

Another thing, iTerm beta crashes on mouse move in mouse enabled programs. That’s fun to deal with.

Oh, and I should probably write a real blog post for my real website. I am like… 1 blog post away from 100 days. I think.
