Thanks for the post Spud!
Today reminds me why I stopped being super into IT in my personal life.
spoiler
For those who get it:
Have 2 identical thin client lenovos. One is a torrent box, the other is supposed to be a media player.
Spend insane amount of time cloning the drive from one to the other. Normal solution won't let you deploy because it's locked behind a pay wall.
Grab cracked version. Doesn't work. Try several more. Eventually find nfo that states everything works EXCEPT DEPLOY!!!! (fuck you Macrium Reflect).
Finally find a solution (I love you clonezilla). Burn boot iso with Rufus. Re do imaging.
It works!!!
Plug into TV. Boot logo, but blackscreen in OS. Fuck around until I finally get it working.
Onboard graphics card too weak to decode large mkv.
Get angry. List it on marketplace.
Edit: just for the record, all of this, was to avoid reinstalling the OS and some apps. It would have been easier to just give up and accept defeat.
As an aside, the part of Egypt my old man is from are known Egypt wide as "stubborn headed donkies".
Draw your own conclusions lol

Got the stressies today. Need to get some writing done for a project. Need to nick out and buy some food I forgot yesterday. Need to do some meal prep and washing. Lying in oodie stressing. Why are brains like this???
Ok. Shower. Coffee. Round up and put washing on. Stand in kitchen thinking while I have coffee. Nick to shops. Quick walk along beach or just sit in sun. Home. More coffee and quick snack. Computer time for the afternoon. No naps. I repeat no naps.

Miss Meow and I are in negotiations for room in the bed. My attempts to explain that I need more room because I am not liquid are not going well.

Hmm, I think I have a hairline crack in my tablet's screen . There is a very faint discolouration in a line and I can just barely feel it. It is getting on in years, maybe it is time to start planning a replacement.

Bike ride with the bicycle users group today. Haven't been on one in a while

Rode through a cluster of those little bugs you can only see when the sun hits them perfectly this morning and had that thing happen where a bug hits the back of your throat perfectly and you swallow it, and that thing where a bug flies into your eye and gets stuck in there happen both at the same time.
good morning

A tale of two youtube algorithms
I have my normal YT I log into , it has my subscriptions and such, nice channels like archeology, movie discussions, etc
and then there is my non channel I look at , not logged into, a browser that doesn't track me so much
and the difference is like night and day
the not logged into one is scary, sometimes I will watch something just to see what other people are watching ๐๐ข crazy insane shit like Prince Andrew is a scapegoat is the worst thing I have seen this week , so many fake and AI self help where the message is always be alone, other people are bad, you are always right
what would a person become if they watched all that hate and division , I reckon in 3 months they would be nuts
The mid-year mating season of the native meth population has begun.
