TIL, rsync with only one src/dst argument will just print out the source files. I discovered this by unhappy accident (well, it could have been worse: I typed rsync -a --remove-source-files ~). This might be useful in constrained environments e.g. in a container context which has rsync but not many other tools.
reading the local liveblog where they track the progress of the single snowflake as it descends toward the city. a guy called patrick with a drone is trying to get a shot for the socials - but the flake is very small. it looks like it's going to land between two highway maintenance storage sheds. teens hopping a barbed wire fence are arrested for trespass and attempted weather theft. the unmelted flake is recovered by authorities. microscopy reveals it is likely a fragment of a tesco carrier bag
The "No Liquids" sign at the airport in Animal Crossing New Horizons implies that Animal Crossing 9/11 happened.
A year ago I installed solar panels+batteries, and now have a year of electric bills to compare.
2024: $4,133.13
2025: $655.62!
The entire year was less than the previous year's July bill.
Also got an EV last year so that amount ALSO includes my "gas" costs from charging at home. (~$1500/year with my prev gas car.)
Hard to think of a pair of purchases I've been happier with!
I’ve never paid attention to Ubuntu summit before. Perhaps I should!
