    I recently bought a new keyboard. My (20-year old) Kinesis was dying, so I needed something new. I opted for a split keyboard, this time, so that I could angle and tilt it however I wanted. I got a cantor remix https://github.com/nilokr/cantor-remix, pre-built by https://shop.beekeeb.com/ (because I don't trust my soldering yet). It takes a bit to get used to only having 36 keys, but it's quite doable. I hope to do a longer writeup on my blog at some point, but the summary is that there are some things that I wish were different, but overall, I'm liking it.

    Wife: Our container of thyme is almost empty.

    Me: Oh no, we're running out of thyme?

    Wife: We have some in the basement, we just need to get it and refill the container.

    Me: Ah, ok. So we need to thyme travel.

    There is usually quite a bit of similarity between words in the Romance languages https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Romance_languages. However, there's one exception that I've noticed: "butterfly" is very different in at least the four most common romance languages: es: mariposa, pt: borboleta, fr: papillon, it: farfalla Linguists of ActivityPub, can anyone explain the divergence for that word?

    Finally installed. Why is macOS so hard to use? I prefer being able to just "apt install gcc".

    On the plus side, it's taken less than 40 hours for the progress bar to make it past the half-way mark. On the minus side, the progress bar hasn't moved for the last little while, and is no longer giving a time estimate.

    Well, at least trying to run "cc" has prompted it to try to install the command-line developer tools, which is all I wanted anyways. I just hope that estimated 80-hour download time is wrong.

    In order to download XCode, I have to create an Apple account, which involves giving Apple my phone number? No thanks.

    OK, I got the strangest spam message today. It was someone asking if I performed liposuction, and claiming to want to book a consultation for their mother. I don't really understand what their scam is. Are they actually hoping to get responses from people who do perform liposuction? I can't imagine that they'd get very many responses, as a percentage of the number of messages they send out. But I guess sending spam is cheap. Or are they hoping to verify active email addresses from people responding and saying that they don't perform liposuction? It just seems like a really strange spam message to send.

    Election day in Ontario today. Unfortunately, it looks like we're going to be stuck with the same government, or even a slightly worse version (stronger majority).

    Oh, wow. I had forgotten that I had a recording of Copland's clarinet concerto. And by Benny Goodman, no less. Great stuff. I'll have to listen again with my headphones at some point.

    Yeah. Novavax has been submitted for approval in Canada, but hasn't been approved yet. And I wouldn't be able to get Covaxin or Sinovac without leaving the country. The only other vaccine currently approved in Canada is J&J (which AIUI is similar to AZ), but it isn't being used for boosters.

    A bit over a week ago, this Friendica instance suddenly stopped receiving posts over ActivityPub. It took me a while to figure it out, but it turned out that my server's clock was drifting, and at some point drifted to be more than 5 minutes off, which caused issues with signature verification. So I fixed the NTP configuration on my server, and now things seem to be back to normal. I've missed about a week of posts, but I guess I'll survive.
