I want one!

Coil whine on this motherboard when network traffic is high. I like it when I hear stuff working.

No, wait... I do have pfSense running!

What bugs me is that today I haven't gotten either pfSense or OPNsense to run properly on my old, crappy dual ethernet test PC.

Looking at my PiHole logs: This is weird, who in this household is using Mastodon besides me???

10 minutes later: Oh, my laptop's WiFi and ethernet adapters have different MAC addresses.

Family fridge: not only will family members consume stuff that's in there and not tell you, they also put stuff back in fridge in any random spot instead of where they got it. They will even move stuff they don't use to a new spot so they can put stuff they actually used and got from another spot in the spot of the stuff they didn't use.

Toot me a river

Computers are bad, I really enjoy this blog!
