Maybe someone here can advise. I ran two of the available “checking” scripts to see if I have any packages installed. Both came up with 1 package I have installed. It is gtkimageview, which is on the list.

However, if I look through the pacman.log I see it was installed on 2024-10 and last upgraded 2025-01. It seems to me that suggests I installed it before this all started, so I’m probably not infected?

A toilet that is installed improperly and is on unlevell ground and wobbles or if the screws get even a little loose and the toilet wobbles every time you sit down, then it will end up with the leaky wax seal.

I agree this is not really “willy nilly”, There is a clear sign of something wrong with the wobble. But a lot of people just aren’t taught this stuff throughout their lives so they don’t know that that’s a problem. So then you end up with people sitting on a wobbly toilet for years and then the wax seal moves and starts to leak.

Uncaulked is the way to go. If you do maintenance and keep everything around it clean. At least where I’m currently living in the U.S. that seems to be the standard. I have seen other countries where the toilet and shower are all together and they just shower and spray down next to the toilet. I don’t know about caulking there.

I have also seen the caulk around that leave the back open as well. That probably also works. Check code is most important, but I personally prefer no caulk look

I really really hope this is the case. The thing that probably drives me nuts the most right now is rebooting and having to reorganize windows across two monitors and six desktops.

I’ll enter for God of War, I watched a few YouTube videos of it with my son and it looked fun and a good story. Thanks for this idea, it’s fun. Good luck to everyone.

Something that made me happy this year: my son tested into advanced math placement at school and I still can’t get over how amazed I am with the poor genes I passed in to him. Couldn’t be more proud as it was something he wanted and of his own choosing spent extra time practicing math. Don’t know how I lucked out, but he’s pretty impressive to me

I tried so many, eventually landed on trilium. It’s not perfect by any means, but it ticks the most boxes for my needs

I use backblaze B2. I use duplicity to create a local encrypted backup of daily and then monthly incremental backups that are stored on a separate hard drive as a local backup. I then sync that with backblaze every night. It’s worked like a treat. Gives me my primary data, a local backup on a separate drive and then an off-site backup. And actually my primary data and my local backups are both on ZFS raidz2 drives, so I can even have drives fail and be okay.

I used to use glacier, but the backblaze interface and uploading scripts were just so much easier to use, and the price was comparable if not maybe just slightly cheaper, I can’t remember exact. I think duplicity also has a front end, duplicati that some people use, but I’ve never used it.

Can you elaborate? Or tell me where I can read more, I did not know this

I have the ecobee 3 lite and I try to keep it off the cloud and connect through home kit to home assistant. It is exceptionally unreliable and disconnects all the time. It’s the only home kit device I have, everything else is zigbee. I don’t know if it’s an ecobee issue or a home assistant issue or maybe a router issue. The only thing that’s helped some is occasionally letting it have access to the cloud and then it will reconnect to home kit and then I can disconnect it from the cloud and it will be good for any more from a few days to a month. I cannot recommend it because it has been so unreliable, and looking through online forums I’ve seen a lot of other people have similar issues with HomeKit and the ecobee. Eventually I want to switch to a purely zigbee device, as this is the only thing I have that even has Wi-Fi on my automation network.

I then control temperatures through a combination of home assistant, node red, and sensors through zigbee2mqtt.
