Tammy and I saw Thelma tonight at the Edina 4 Theater. It was a really good story. Funnier than I expected at parts and sad as well. An insightful look at aging. 🍿
I always love watching smoke billowing out of the Big Green Egg. Three pork butts in for a finish smoke after 20 hours in the Sous Vides at 165 °F.
Shopping via Terminal
My cousin Quinn had mentioned this place that sold coffee via the Terminal using ssh but I hadn’t remembered to check it out. He recently built his own terminal-based task tracker and mentioned terminal.shop again so I gave it a try.
Clearly the goal here is to appeal to the techies and they are doing it great. They also did a good job with curses support as I tested resizing the window and everything was nicely responsive.
You start in the shopping experience. Who needs pictures? I know what coffee beans look like…
The FAQ page…
And I even placed an order. The email I got said it was order #000, and made sure to indicate it was zero-indexed. 🤣
We’ll see how the coffee tastes! If you want to order some coffee of your own, just type ssh terminal.shop in your terminal.
Resurrecting two Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+ units that I had from when I was running Pi-hole. Putting new images on them and will be a fun host for Tyler to learn some Linux skills on. Not sure what I’m going to do with mine yet.
Absolutely perfect evening for a cruise down the St. Croix River on the Lady Chateau.
Stillwater Lift Bridge at night.
There is a gondolier on Lake Saint Croix in Stillwater!
