| I've had this [MatrixPortal M4][m4] from AdaFruit for a little while now. It's a | ||||

| It has been a while since I wrote any weeknotes. Hi! I'm still alive. Life is | ||||
| keeping me busy and I find it difficult to fit in writing and sharing things | ||||
| sometimes. | ||||
| 
 | ||||
| I had a goal this year of posting weeknotes like this on a roughly weekly | ||||
| cadence. I did not keep up. I got so frustrated with myself that my brain | ||||
| literally became this penguin and I stopped posting altogether. | ||||
| 
 | ||||
| {{< figures/image global-asset-src=images/memes/not-doing-it.png size=small >}} | ||||
| 
 | ||||
| This is all totally arbitrary and avoidable. And yet. Life is busy, the politics | ||||
| are shit, existing while trans is a constant source of stress. Maybe I owe | ||||
| myself some slack, right? Unfortunately, slack is not something I'm good at | ||||
| granting myself. | ||||

| Tech Mastodon was abuzz this week about the new that [GitHub will be folded into | ||||
| the AI group][gh] at Microsoft. I have been meaning to move off of GitHub for a | ||||
| little while ago, and this kicked me over the edge. I set up a [Forgejo][fj] | ||||
| instance over at [source.erynwells.me](https://source.erynwells.me) to host my | ||||
| code going forward and migrated everything over there. Maybe one day I'll write | ||||
| more about this. | ||||

| I also figured out how to get my VPS to mail me periodic emails of system status | ||||
| through FreeBSD's `periodic` system. I discovered that I get almost 1200 | ||||
| unauthorized login attempts against my system every day. Wtf. Here's a small | ||||
| snippet of the attempts. | ||||
| 
 | ||||
| ```txt | ||||
| postgres    30 attempts | ||||
| ubuntu      31 attempts | ||||
| test        36 attempts | ||||
| debian      43 attempts | ||||
| user        64 attempts | ||||
| admin       124 attempts | ||||
| 
 | ||||
| 1156        total attempts | ||||
| ``` | ||||
| 
 | ||||
| To my surprise, `root` is not among the attempted usernames. | ||||

| Did you know [peacocks can shoot laser][peacocks] beams? Neither did I. I think | ||||
| this kicks them up about eighteen notches on the "Metalest bird" scale. | ||||

| Someone tooted in my vicinity about [Terminal Trove][tt], a website that | ||||
| "curates and showcases all things in the terminal such as command line interface | ||||
| tools (CLI), text mode interface tools (TUI), developer tools and more no matter | ||||
| what platform or medium." Right up my alley. | ||||

| Politics continues to suck in the United States. A few articles (of a great many) | ||||
| that stood out: | ||||
| 
 | ||||
| [Impeachment is a Duty][impeachment]. Keep shouting about the house being on | ||||
| fire while the house continues to be on fire. | ||||
| 
 | ||||
| There are [a lot of bills moving through state houses that limit access to | ||||
| gender-transition-related care][tcare], and seems a lot of these bills are | ||||
| flying under the radar. | ||||
| 
 | ||||
| [It's not just burnout][bn] asks us to consider where we derive meaning in our | ||||
| careers, to stay mindful of how much is actually fucked about the current world | ||||
| order, and to cut ourselves some slack for the lethargy and demotiviation many | ||||
| of us are feeling. | ||||
