A lot of the paper books I own are not available as ebooks, but I do find that I actually read ebooks much more readily.

I know it’s not at all the point, but I don’t understand why articles like this still quote Twitter, X like it’s the definitive voice of the public square.

It’s the fourteenth most popular social media, in line with Snapchat and Pinterest. I don’t understand journalists’ continuing obsession with what now essentially amounts to a niche hobby for Nazis.

Wait a minute, these ARE the Droids I was looking for!

“Everyone who disagrees with the president is a SP!”

“Does that mean a Socialist Person?”

“… Ye-eeess…”

Globe-heads will lose their minds at this. Water doesn’t stick to a ball. You know what it does stick to? A dinosaur. 🤔

Thank you - I’m researching how to do this. I am using mariaDB and it’s all running in docker, so I think if I can learn how to get terminal access within the docker container, and what commands I will need to access mariaDB, then I should be able to do so. I’m hoping that everything will be labeled in such a way that I can locate those records that are part of the carddav database only to clear them and start over.

Running it from a file explorer may not work due to permissions.

use ls command, as in the video, to list the contents of a directory, then use cd to change directory based on what you see. You can use cd .. to navigate to the parent directory of your current location if needed.

Also make note of the Local path shown when cloning the repository in the previous step to help find it. When you see “tailscale.sh” as one of the items after typing ls, then you will know you are in the right place.

Actually, watching the video it looks like they first enter:

cd Documents/deck-tailscale/

then enter:

sudo bash tailscale.sh

If you don’t have the directory Documents/deck-tailscale/, then you will have to go back a step and find out where GitHub Desktop is storing the local files.

Tailscale client definitely needs to be installed and logged in on the destination device (Steam Deck in this case). Is it possible that you are typing “Sudo” instead of “sudo” in the command after opening Konsole? Linux commands are case-sensitive.

I’m not knowledgeable about the steam deck, but it is also possible that sudo is not installed by default, in which case you will have to install it. sudo is a command that allows you to run other commands as root (basically admin).

I found this article that might help: https://pimylifeup.com/steam-deck-sudo-password/

Farts are mostly particulate. So, you’d be lighter.

Edit: I did not have “researching farts” on my dance card today, but here we are - I have inadvertently repeated a misnomer. While flatulence can be accompanied by aerosolized liquid, microbial elements, and particulate fecal matter, our gut is actually much more efficient than previously thought at separating gasses. Healthy farts do not contain a significant amount of non-gaseous material. A tiny bit of such material would weigh more than the gaseous content, hence the misnomer that farts are mostly liquid and solid material by weight.

As the gasses contain hydrogen and sometimes methane, they are indeed lighter than air, on average. They may also contain sulfides and carbon dioxide that are heavier than air, but in smaller quantities.

So, according to flatus experts (yes, that’s a thing), yes, farting on Earth likely makes you heavier.

For those who want to suffer as I have, here is a fairly comprehensive article on the matter.

Certainly. I found through some reading that the contacts app seems to be more or less a front end for some cardDAV functionality built into ownCloud.

If I could remove or reinstall the cardDAV function itself, that would be ideal.

Gotta love Merriam Webster. They are fantastic.

End a sentence with a preposition if you want to. And start one with a conjunction.

New “This is Fine” meme just dropped.

In all sincerity, I do hope for the sake of the people of LA that she’s right.

I don’t know how to find it in the database or even how to access it directly. The WebUI is frozen.

I’m also not sure if I could identify the specific contact, but if not, I’d be fine to delete and re-add the entire contact book.

Thank you again for the help.

Checking the log again, I think it may be related to:

{"reqId":"7e34c78e-49b9-4a97-87db-da79ab0d33bd","level":3,"time":"2025-06-19T22:18:31+00:00","remoteAddr":"XXX.XX.X.X","user":"USERNAME","app":"PHP","method":"GET","url":"\/remote.php\/dav\/files\/USERNAME\/misc\/m-t0627-01511-00434%20(2).jpg?x=336&y=336&c=&preview=1","message":"exif_read_data(): Incorrect APP1 Exif Identifier Code at \/var\/www\/owncloud\/lib\/private\/legacy\/image.php#399"}

(I’ve removed my name and the IP Address listed)

Following this message, there are about 30 errors related to different contacts that look like:

{"reqId":"6fptn8sCXT16xmUGIWc6","level":2,"time":"2025-06-19T09:06:07+00:00","remoteAddr":"XXX.XX.X.X","user":"USERNAME","app":"dav","method":"DELETE","url":"\/remote.php\/dav\/addressbooks\/users\/USERNAME\/contacts\/04bc3d9c-f55a-4241-96a2-929245fe8433.vcf","message":"Could not get node for path: \"addressbooks\/users\/USERNAME\/contacts\/04bc3d9c-f55a-4241-96a2-929245fe8433.vcf\" : Card not found"}

With some searching, it looks like there is something wrong with an image, presumably a contact image, which I was updating around the time the service went down.

I still have no idea what do do with this information.

I’m pretty sure it’s just owncloud. It’s the home self server.

This is great news if it holds.
