We need more!

// @michael @willtmonroe

A cacophony of phone alerts. Flash flood warning.

This means a trip to town for lunch will be out of the question.

The rain can stop at any time, please.

"I thought you said you'd never wear one of those stupid Apple Watches"

"I also said I was moving on from this place as soon as the PalmOS project was completed and we saw how that turned out."

This conversation repeated several times and a cup of coffee have defined my morning so far.

Black as night and storming heavily. This does not bode well for our power and phones. I guess we'll be testing the OPSes today whether we like it or not.

Some are. The one on Sidekick's Fitbit was.

Walk postponed due to thunderstorms. Hiding in enclosed area because Sidekick is a chicken

Apple Watch arrived. Now paired with phone. preparing to go for a walk with it.

Not as cumbersome and silly looking as I initially thought it would be,

Display is more readable than I thought it would be.

Band is adequately large.

Setup was typically idiot-friendly which is nice because I have been fighting Linux all day.

That's the best I can figure. What I do not understand is how only half of the rules vanished. They are tied to zones which are supposedly independent of the device attached to them. Half tempted to tear into that code.

What really got me was some of the forwards still existed (ssh, an application specific thing or two we need out there) but imap, imaps, smtp, smtps, etc were gone.

Linux is becoming what Windows was a few years back.

NetworkManager inexplicably dupes a NIC. Makes it Wired Connection 1 and Wired Connection 2. Original is deleted.

Deleted the faux entries and the original one magically reappeared. However, all firewalld rules were missing thus rendering services with WAN connectivity null and void. All masquerading gone. etc.

Mind made up. Will replace this box with a pfSense appliance.
