Landlocked castaway priest in the Age of Disintegration
I just bought a replacement watch band and NOW I'm "part of the Garmin family"? What the heck does the last four years of actually wearing your watch mean to you people?!
Phone etiquette is so bad.
People call 3-4 times repeatedly in succession instead of leaving a message.
The number of times people leave voicemails without a name is bizarre, like I'm dealing with some kind of sovereign that has no need to condescend to introduce themselves.
Or when I answer, they just start issuing their demands without so much as a greeting.
It's harsh, graceless, and discouraging. We live in a coarse world.

Any strong feelings about #linux distro Sparky? My machine running #Ubuntu is struggling to keep up in the GNOME desktop environment and I'm looking for a light weight distro for 15 year old hardware.

A THANKLESS MISSION - Homily for the 29th Sunday by Father Nick Blaha Homily Cast
Pray for missionaries
Nostr is ususable on desktop for me. At least with my current Brave/Ubuntu/Windows arrangements. Everything was great until I started logging in with - nsec . app - instead of the Alby extension.
If it weren't for #amethyst, Nostr would be competely inacessible for me.
So I was offline for a few days and came back to a note about a massive #linux vulnerability. I noticed the cups libraries were updated but I'm wondering if this was the fix? #asknostr
Slowly making headway on converting some old school computers that will soon be obsolete (can't run Windows 11) into personal servers with @Start9 #startOS
This one was a thorny task... after getting the RAM upgraded to 32 GB and swapping out the old hard drive for a 120GB SSD that I had laying about, I had to fiddle around with boot drives and all sorts of nonsense I don't really understand until (with some help from the Telegram support channel) we got it working.
Maybe I'll put some of these up on the Nostr marketplace here on #coracle soon....
Playing around with zap.cooking and got a clunky version of a great recipe posted.
This was dessert for my godson's baptismal anniversary. Make Baptism great again...
I wish I could remember where I found this online, but all I have is a link to the original images saved in my note file.

Nice puff pastry dessert, savory and great for fall
Edward Moran, Ship at Sea, Sunset
the purpose of a system is what it does
Luff up and touch
Estoy sentado
en el suelo
de una habitación desocupada,
el retrato de una joven
no deja de mirarme
mientras una vela se consume
dando vida a la estancia.
Ignoro el tiempo transcurrido,
menosprecio el que vendrá.
Es fácil sentir cerca la muerte
admirando el pábilo doblegado
especulando de manera vaga
cuando reinará la noche.
(Javier Solé, poema “Estancia en penumbra”
Del libro de poemas “Las hilanderas”)

How to not binge watch a series:
Never try to tear yourself away at the END of an episode. They have you on tenterhooks. Roll with it... and then pick some B roll a third of the way through the episode. Way easier to walk away. #lifehack #plebchain #grownostr
