"...What is debuginfod?

From the official project page, debuginfod is a client/server [...] that automatically distributes ELF/DWARF/source-code from servers to clients such as debuggers across HTTP. ... debuginfod eliminates the need for users to install debuginfo packages in order to debug programs using GDB, systemtap or other tools"

2026-03-23T21:54:12Z

Waiting for my my first cold brew (er... room temperature brew) coffee to finish. So far:

1. Overnight is not enough.
2. Insane usage of ground coffee. CRAZY amount of ground coffee required. This is not great, unless it concentrates quite a bit.
3. Plus side: will definitely be good for hot mornings, when you don't want actual hot coffee.

TBD how this tastes with my own roasted beans, I was handed a already roasted packet of Kona coffee, which apparently was on the clearance aisle at Walmart in Kona, Hawaii a couple of weeks ago. Not bad, but coffee that was roasted a long time ago sealed into a bag most certainly has none of the flavor of fresh roasted coffee.

The carrier does not know where
It shows it's on it way
And says it should be there

It's not here on my doorstep
They say it's on a truck
But now they don't know when it will get here
The shipments gone amuck

I hope the driver's okay
Didn't drive over a cliff
Not stuck on the side of a road
Hoping for a lift

My shipment has gone missing
It's nowhere near my house
And now the status page is
quiet as a mouse

Founders of Ben & Jerry unhappy with the brand:

"When we founded Ben & Jerry’s in 1978, we had a simple but radical idea: that a business could thrive by making great products while standing up for progressive values and social justice. Over the past five decades, Ben & Jerry’s has become successful precisely because people know it stands for something deeper than ice cream...

...For several years now the
voice of Ben & Jerry’s has been silenced by Unilever, particularly when the brand has tried to speak out about social justice and unjust wars. That is not the Ben & Jerry’s that we founded, or the one that we envisioned when we agreed to join Unilever 25 years ago...."

June 30 to July 2nd, 1936

"A very heavy rain fell over the upper Guadalupe River Basin, west of Korrville, from June 30 to July 2. This rein amounted to over 36 inches 1in about 36 hours at the State Pish Hatchery above Ingram. Record-break- ing stages were experienced on all streams above Kerrville, and on the Guadalupe River to a point below Spring Branch. Along the streams in the hills above Kerrville are many sumer homes, resorts, and camps for boys and girls. Most of these places were damaged by the floods, many of them being almost completely destroyed. There was much apprehension for the safety of the people in these camps, especially for the younger boys and girls, but fortunately all were safe. The fact that the flood occurred in the day rather than at night no doubt accounts for no loss of 1ife in the camps. "

The document, issued by the federal government, allows her to work legally in the U.S. and is set to expire in January 2026.

Originally from Hong Kong, Mayorga said she was used to the meetings. But when she arrived, things were anything but usual...."

Thanks to Mr. Bob Fowler on YouTube, I know exactly what the problem is. Will have to find time in between real 9-5 work today to go fix it. There's a mechanical CAM which controls stitch length here, and it clear is frozen or not moving very well. That's just a lubrication issue. I did not lubricate inside there, looks like there are three contact points (should be accessible from the front panel). Since nothing was broken (or likely to break) on these machines, it's almost 100% just not enough lubrication.

"...a protester at the Burbank Tesla on Sunday, attended just two days after trading in her Tesla for a Cadillac. She had slapped a bumper sticker on her old vehicle that read "Bought This Car Before We Knew" in a veiled reference to Musk, but she felt that wasn't enough.

"It was embarrassing," she said of driving the Tesla. "It wasn't what I stood for. How could I drive that car? I have principles."...

The Mounties always get their man
Even if it's by following a leaky oil pan
Dastardly Tesla drivers beware
If you see someone wearing a hat and red tunic there!
It's the Mounties! Hot on the trail
Of you broken car bumper and tail
So give up on your Model X swasticar
You may run from your crimes, but not far!

Royal Canadian Mounted Police: Tesla driver unwittingly leaks information of his whereabouts after alleged hit and run

2025-03-10 10:41 PDT

File # 2025-4810

A Burnaby Tesla driver left a trail of fluid behind after an alleged hit and run, leading police to his location.

On February 10, 2025, at approximately 11:30 p.m., Burnaby RCMP frontline officers responded to a report of a hit and run in the area of McKee Street and McGregor Avenue. The caller reported seeing a vehicle flee the scene without stopping after hitting two parked vehicles.

The suspect vehicle left a piece of its fender, with the marking "Model X", behind. Officers also noted a trail of fluid leading away from the scene. Investigators followed the fluid trail to an alley and, eventually, right onto a residential property.

"Ninety-nine balloons
On their way to the horizon
Were taken for UFOs from space
Hence, a general sent
A squadron after them
To give the alarm"

(from the random translations on the Internet). Didn't we just go through this in the US the last few years? LOL. Reminds me I still have the parts for a ham radio balloon in a box around here... (one of them was blown up with a very expensive missile).
