I’m thinking of starting a band…or buying a banjo (no joke about the banjo)

Playing with toys today

I talk about my grandfather and some of his interesting projects. Specifically talk about his clay head and his patents in model railroading.

The trickiest part of being a desktop Linux fan is resisting the shiny of “There is a new version available. do you want it?” and next thing you know your carefully crafted solution is gone.

I got sucked into this twice recently, for Ubuntu 22.04 and 24.04. It broke my streamdeck (which technically isn’t supported by Linux but github abides) which makes some things harder than they need to be. And in both cases, I didn’t install to a different disk so i could switch back easily and simply. I’m back on Ubuntu 20.04 and I am getting things working again. among other things. I like having to mess with my systems sometimes but sometimes it’s inconveniently timed.

TL;DR I got my streamdeck working again and now i’ll be able to do spooky sounds out the window in a couple weeks.
