[09:53:54] <ethanol-fueled> They found my mother.
[09:54:43] <ethanol-fueled> In pretty bad shape. We had to make the decision to take her off life-support.
[09:55:12] <ethanol-fueled> It was the best thing for all involved, especially her.
[09:56:02] <ethanol-fueled> Both of her kidneys were shut down, she suffered from internal bleeding such that it required multiple transfusions, but her brain was damaged.
[09:57:36] <ethanol-fueled> We knew that the ending wasn't going to be a fairy-tale. But to get this out of nowhere.
[09:58:45] <ethanol-fueled> Rest in Peace, Momma.

[15:40:12] * TheMightyBuzzard forgets where arch puts syslog messages by default
[15:40:22] <TheMightyBuzzard> maybe syslog, maybe kernel
[15:40:25] <chromas> Must be time to switch distros
[15:40:36] <chromas> Don't fix it; reinstall!
[15:41:35] <chromas> Just a few days ago, NetworkManager decided I didn't have permission to connect either
[15:41:41] <TheMightyBuzzard> works for windows
[15:42:07] <chromas> Windows is a proprietary mess. Linux is an open source mess :D
[15:43:51] <chromas> You need to get that game. Put it on laptop so you can go fish while you go fish

[16:10:37] <chromas> Created a new account and I can login. Must be a borked home directory
[16:10:47] * chromas bork bork bork
[16:32:59] <Ingar> chromas: someone but "logout" in .bashrc ? ;)
[16:34:11] <Ingar> Windows updates are worse, the latest one spontaneously rebooted my machine while I was in the middle of a game
[16:39:58] <chromas> My win 10 won't install the latest major update. It gets part way through then it throws an error and removes it
[16:40:13] <chromas> Then later it tells me the latest update's all ready to be installed
[16:41:38] <chromas> Hm, I don't have a .bashrc
[16:42:12] <chromas> 🎜 Where have all the files gone? 🎝
