The Lounge 0001 [From the Beginning]

My Chromebook finally died.

oh no thats terrible, what happened? did it show any signs beforehand or just die?

Nope. I’ve had it for four years. It was running Galluim.
When I went to power it just now, pop black screen. I did every troubleshooting I could. It’s dead. Complete and absolute.

would’ve expected it to last longer than that but had a pretty good run i guess. What you gonna do now? replace or maybe find a way to fix it, did you have any data on it you need to retrieve?

Nah no data on it.
As much as I’d like to replace it, not going to happen right now. I planned to replace it in three years with an xps 13 with Debian. Now though no it is going to wait.
Fix… Nope this is beyond fix.
I’ll be alright. Maybe there will be a deal on Friday or Monday. I’ll keep an eye out.

Hopefully today won’t be so annoying at work… Stayed an extra 1.5 for no good reason rip. Now tired. But it’s snowing and the day before Thanksgiving so that’s a thing.
Games are already on sale as well, though amusingly I happen to have a $50 gift card on Amazon… And no idea what to spend that on. I have already tried the cheap mechanical keyboards on Amazon and not sure what I would even want from there otherwise :stuck_out_tongue:
Otherwise HI.

$50 doesn’t get much on Amazon. At least, not anything of any quality. Maybe some music and a movie.

Related; 15% off sitewide on ebay but you have to use the mobile app and enter the code “PICKFAST”. So basically find what you want on desktop and then just buy it from the app to get a discount.

It seems we’re going hunting in the morning then having some dry ass turkey and some decent other food in the afternoon. I assume it’s dry because it’s always super dry… I honestly don’t know how they can make it so bad every year… do they enjoy it that way or something?

Well hopefully you do get some, isn’t that cutting it pretty close those? I imagine it would be hard to get the turkey and everything ready this late?

Same problem at my house. Thought about just cooking the turkey myself

Maybe to get one that i need to defrost but for actually cooking it. Not really. Maybe a day or two worth of prep. Hard part is getting enough days off to cook it XD

It’s only at my grandma’s house, though I think it’s my uncle who cooks it. My parents make good turkey, but my dad’s side of the family makes the best because deep fried.

Also explains why my grandma doesn’t like white meat poultry because; “It’s dry and flavorless” well that’s because you always cook it to shit you senile old lady…

time off work, two days to prep. bird be getting more attention than your own family XD

So me being a genius playing around with ACL controls on my switch have managed to lock myself out of my own subnet and can’t route anything to a 10.0.1.0/24 address, this means I can’t access my router to open new connections to the internet or more importantly my switch to revert the changes back again because it also is on the same subnet XD

my options right now are either change the subnet on my router to something different or reboot the switch to flush the changes but can’t really do that right now because its being used and will bring everything down for at least 30 seconds.
