Something I noticed the other day - Qobuz has tapped into Gramophone and a few others like 4F to add Editor's Choice and the like. Not that big of a deal, but a nice addition.

A certain 8TB drive was full, so I got a new 12TB drive, mounted it in a trusty external hard drive dock, connected by esata Ran This robocopy H:\ L:\ /E /COPYALL /DCOPY:T /R:0 /W:0 /MT:12 /XJ /LOG:C:\robocopy_H_to_L_full.log And walked away (without an explosion in the background) To get this Total Copied Skipped Mismatch FAILED Extras Dirs : 1966 1966 2 0 0 0 Files : 7172 7169 0 0 3 0 Bytes : 7.270 t 7.266 t 0 0 4.370 g 0 Times : 309:01:27 21:57:50 0:00:00 1:49:56 Speed : 101043866 Bytes/sec.

Swapped the drives, and now I have to play with, Matey.🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️ EDIT: Of course, if the AI Bubble hadn't made cheap storage and ECC DDR5 unobtanium, I'd be expanding a ZFS storage pool on a NAS by just adding a drive, but here we are.

Some Anti-AntisocialPersonalityDisorder-ant would be a start

My plate was almost as decadent

The Mavericks - What a Crying Shame RIP, Raul Malo

Sapphire Sandwich arrived. I neglected to make sure the stock bracelet had enough links, so it’s a good thing I had a Forstner Flat Link (which was a bear to size) ready to go. I’m very happy with it.

I'm not even a watch guy, but that is a sweet looking watch. Congrats!

This is the statement, translated: ...so I don't think they are going to replace them. The Shure KSE's are also discontinued with no replacements that I've heard of.

RIP Greg Biffle - and family.... RIP Mr. La Biff.

Yesterday I and my father visited my aunt at hospital. We haven't been seeing each other as families for more than 10 years. And before that it was like bumping each others on weddings, funerals etc and seeing each other wasn't pleasent. My mother and she has deep problems since I was born; long story... Anyway, she had been diagnosed with gastric cancer as it turns out 2 years ago and she just wanted to say her goodbyes. She was in extremely bad shape, my father couldn't even look at her. Reasons for not seeing them is/was rightful but still I feel deep sadness. Shaken since, sleeping for almost 16 hours didn't help as well. Made me think on things I'm angry with my parents, their desicions on my life which pushed me into the life I don't want to live since I started to school. Things I can't forgive them. I didn't think seeing her evoke so much shit. I'd rather avoid it if I knew. We didn't tell my mother about that visit cuz even my aunt is in deathbed we don't know how she is going to react. I feel really bad about it as well.
