@plan-A I've got out working on the LAN. So that's something. Ready easy to set up. Shockingly so!! It's WAN access in struggling with because the cheap router we've been set up with has nobway of opening ports. Plus services like Tailscale run as vpn on Android and that means I have to switch off my usual vpn to use it. It's just a little too much friction than I need.
It's fun to much about with though.
How about a fictional book by a fictional author, now that there are "Murder She Wrote" re-runs on cable?

Whatever is left of our constitutional rights and liberties exists mostly in the gaps between what the government knows about us. This is the beginning of the end. Soon, when conservatives are in charge, they'll make us follow their stupid, puritanical rules whether we like it or not, and when liberals are in charge, well, they'll make us follow their stupid, puritanical rules whether we like it or not.
Data brokerage should be seen as organized crime, and there should be a constitutional amendment specifically guaranteeing the right to privacy.

U.S. Spy Agencies Are Getting a One-Stop Shop to Buy Your Most Sensitive Personal Data
The government wants to build a centralized platform where spy agencies can more easily buy private info about millions of people.Sam Biddle (The Intercept)

I'm not advocating psychopathy, but hear me out. Aren't psychopaths happier than everyone else? They feel no empathy, so they don't feel guilty or remorseful for anything they've ever done. They feel superior to those around them. What they want, at this moment, is basically all they will ever care about.
Seems like a fairly placid internal life, to me...

I have had similar thoughts. The underlying issue is that it is not a choice. It is how the brain is wired. I could no more choose to be a psychopath than a psychopath could choose not to be one. I have found my peace in a compromise that I no longer value that which is impermanent and I live now, not in my past or future. Of course this is the 100 mile view of my ideologies and it gets a bit more complicated the closer to ground zero that I get. 😀 😉

On the eighth day of Christmas
My true love sent to me
Eight maids a milking
Seven swans a swimming
Six geese a-laying
...Five golden rings...

Cheat on your taxes, don't be a fool
Now what was that they said about a golden rule?
Never mind the rules just play to win
And hate your neighbor for the shade of his skin
Skip a rope--skip a rope
Oh, listen to the children while they play
Now ain't it kinda funny What the children say?
Skip a rope

On the following link, it's Jack Reno that covers it; and it's been covered since by Bobby Bare et al but don't you believe that Bobby Bare wrote it.

I have been fighting with #bookwyrm as a solution to recording my #reading and #book data. It is a little #disappointing. I want to use it, but for me (mass importing of data) it is too time consuming going through hundreds of entries that are either "slightly" different from what currently exists on the service, or is not on any instance networked and therefore throw up import errors.
Thing is, you look at what you've got and think: "That's correct data there, I've checked against multiple sources and all the names, authors and ISBNs are correct. Why can't I just push a button and import it all? I mean it's better than what is being suggested to me at present. Why is that <random book> appearing six times on my list against book I know are okay?"
A morning wasted. I don't need a solution, I have an alternative that isn't #goodreads or bookwyrm. But you try and support or use something and it's... It's like me having to recompile a Linux v2.2 kernel to get USB support around 2000-2001.

Yeah, I'm gonna be late for hashtag games again but HBO is celebrating #PeeWeeHerman these days and they're airing a theater stage version of Pee Wee's Playhouse from 2011. I'm taking time from that to mention something that was somewhat prescient in the segment "Pen Pals from Around the World".
He read a postcard from Israel. Schlomo said he was 9 years old and he has already served 2 years in the military. Good one, Pee Wee.
