Mumble mumble. I’m double-and-a-booster vaccinated (Pfizer x3), but that doesn’t mean I’m completely immune, and it’s getting wild. Sigh. I guess it had to come to town eventually in a big way - I guess? Stay safe, folks. [Read More]

I’m running an old i7 2012-ish Macbook as a docker host since it still works and it’s pretty capable for the job. The screen kept staying on while just sitting at the text login screen, which was a bit of a worry for the lifetime of the LCD. I have finally figured out how to fix it!
