But for now an email to myself just keeps me focused, and it just works!
I met my first girlfriend that way, we’d go hunting for crabs in the wilderness by day and then sell our catch at the marketplace. It was hard being online at the same time but we made it work. We built fires and prayed in the evenings under the starry sky, and fell asleep in each others arms, until that fateful night when I came back from my fishing trip to find all her belongings in a single pile, surrounded by blood. I feared the worst, but kept hopeful and waited. My patience waning, I finally ventured out of the wilderness and towards the reset point, where I found her… outside of a cave garbed in dungeoneer equipment mumbling nonsensical words about grinding. :'-(

Longest wait on a song was 15 years, with 3 years of searching on reddit. The artist uploaded the song one day, and it was found. It turned out that he became a dentist instead.
Fun. You can dick around with your init scripts without having to worry about the right triggers or spawn classes or anything. Your system is hackable with bash. Systemd: here are a list of approved keywords, don’t insert that there, why are using cron when you can use me?
There’s a great series on Netflix right now called “Heartbeat” or “Poisened Heart” or something (depends on language), and it’s a grizzly drama about murder, Organ harvesting, and a web of underworld seediness, revenge, wrath, high stakes drama etc…
It’s opening theme song is some weak ass “everybody needs good Neighhhbours” type thing that makes no sense whatsoever tonally to the show.
