Don't think I ever did an #introduction post, so I may as well get to it now, right?
Name's Jason. He/him. I live in #Bakersfield, CA with my wife Sarah and a pack of small dogs.
I like films, #WordPress, consuming and creating podcasts, #Simpsons memes, #WebPerf, and democratic socialism.

After resolving the `libgcc-8-dev` error that I was receiving yesterday, I'm updating my #YunoHost box (RasPi 3) from 4.4.x to 11.0.x. 😅 Wish me luck!
Who is the best #NPR newscaster and why is it Lakshmi Singh?
I was tempted to buy a couple foam balls and DIY a solution. But foam balls appear to have been marked up on Amazon after sellers realized what folks were buying them for.
So my options were:
* Pay $400 (!!) for two Kaotica Eyeballs.
* Pay $80 (!) for two foam balls and do a little weekend project.
* Pay $50 for two knock-offs and wait 4–6 weeks for them to show up.
TBH, I think I made the right choice.
I set up a #Miniflux install and got it working with NetNewsWire. 🎉
Unfortunately, ~80% of the sites I had in my OPML file (that I've been importing into feed readers for 15+ years now) are either absolute ghost towns or have pivoted to being annoying overposters.
So, if you're inclined, send me some recommendations of #blogs and #RSS feeds that you like to follow. I'd prefer if you didn't just link your own and move on tho. 😄 Share something fun with me!
I have things that I _ought to_ be doing, so now is the perfect time to pull my #PocketCHIP out of a doom box to fuck around with it, right?
I feel like I fucked up when I got reading glasses a couple weeks ago.
I've never had a pair before, and I was told that I might want to consider bifocals. That way, I wouldn't have to take my glasses off every time that I walked away from my desk.
But no. I waved that suggestion off and got monofocal lenses instead. Now, forgetting to take my glasses off when I go into the other room turns me into Mr. Magoo.
Spending my Sunday setting up a @yunohost home server on a spare RasPi3.
P.S. It's not that I *want* to ignore what's going on rn. It's just all so overwhelming. 😞
Speaking of, if any of y'all still use Gmail, this script (after some training) filters lower priority emails (sales notices, political fundraising, etc.) to a secondary label and sends you a daily summary.

It's made my main email account (which I've given out freely for 18 years) so much nicer to use.
