The orchid mantis is a big weird lanky bug, which is relatable, but she also rocks high-femme fashion while being a terrifying predator with swords for arms, which is aspirational.

Been thinking a lot about the song "my ding-a-ling."
Ms11: "Can I have the flashlight?"
Me: "What for?"
Ms11: "To go like that" *sticks her arm up and waves it in a circle*
Me: "What will that do?"
Ms11: "I don't know."
The kids wanted to camp out in the back yard. Ms8 fell asleep right away, Ms11 spent an hour terrified that every breeze was a serial killer before asking to come inside.
Ms11: "Dad, are Katy Perry songs inappropriate?"
Me: "Kissing girls is fine, but you should ask your significant other first instead of hoping they don't mind it."

Are there any IP cameras that are any good, or should I buy dumb ones and rpis?

I still have no idea what to do with it. I was pretty much off PC games by the time a K6-450 was a reasonable machine. Quake 3, maybe? Return to Castle Wolfenstein? I guess a machine with hardware floppy drive and reasonable network access might come in handy some day.
Okay, so this $3.75 old K6-450. Poked at it a bit, turns out the motherboard is a poor match for the case. Case has a push-push front power switch, but motherboard expects a momentary switch. So whatever genius built this thing wired the reset button to power it on. It works fine.
It is 100% time for “got the morbs” to make a triumphant return. https://computerfairi.es/@maple/100238068544125081
I changed the Intel driver to use UXA acceleration instead of SNA, and font corruption is gone, but now it's tearing video, too. Less bad than the VA driver, though, so I guess that's an improvement.
It worked good when I first set up the laptop, on Debian 9.0. The issues started a few months later.
This fix mentioned in ArchWiki doesn't solve my font corruption: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/intel_graphics#Font_and_screen_corruption_in_GTK.2B_applications_.28missing_glyphs_after_suspend.2Fresume.29
I'm running Debian Stable and having Intel graphics issues. The xserver-xorg-video-intel driver corrupts text, and i965-va-driver suffers from video tearing and seems to run slower and make my laptop run hot. Has anyone gotten this working 100%?

A thing macOS nailed which I haven't found a good Linux solution for is filling out and signing PDFs.
There was a Wizard of Wor BOARD GAME? Too bad it seems to be rare, I love all things Wizard of Wor.
