So my internet went down again. This time the DSL is fine, just no internet. The automated troubleshooter says, yep a problem, would you like to chat? FUCK NO! Hmm, too bad, it's the only way to get service. So we did unplug the modem, hard reset the modem, re-initiate service, nothing working. Running out of ideas, the chat person then claims I've exceeded my data plan (I have unlimited data). I ask the person to elevate the ticket twice at which point the person disconnected the session. Now I have to go through CenturyLink's phone tree to get a real person to schedule someone who knows what they are doing.

Nope. My town's website links me to a hazardous waste center in a town 25 minutes away, and you have to pay to dispose there.
Maybe SaltyNuts will have a use for it...

I cant seem to find a search engine that gives me what I want.
Tried looking for "Nude Salsa" and all I got was nude tennis, nude yoga, nude twerking and other nonsense.
I didnt even get nude line dancing or nude square dancing.

BOTH of my computers sound just randomly stopped working. The Linux one, the sound was coming out of the monitors instead of speakers. Fiddled around with the settings, rebooted a couple times, ran updates etc and eventually got it going to the speakers again. The windows machine however, can't seem to get it going no matter what I do. What a stupid thing to happen for no reason. Even tried rebooting several times, unplugged and replugged everything. No go. Might have to reinstall Windows. If I'm going to go through a reinstall I may as well bite the bullet and put windows 10 on there I guess. I'll deal with that another time. I'd put windows 11 but I doubt it's going to be compatible due to the strict requirements it has.
Getting a new sofa today and my son was unavailable to help move the old one out. The wife tried though. I gave up and said fuck it. Took a knife and a chainsaw to it. I managed to move the couch out by myself. In pieces.
The wife is cleaning up my mess.......

If it was one of the PC's I'd say hardware failure of some kind.
Both at the same time AND different OS makes me think surge damage or possibly malware of some kind. (either that or you spaced changing/updated something that "broke" them!!)
And you should 100% go with Win 10 over 11 even if your main PC supports it. (I loved 7 too but its been 99.9% unpatched for a LONG time now and its def time to move on)

Yeah it's really weird that both failed at once. In Linux it was probably software related since playing with settings fixed it. But can't get windows one going at all. Gave up for now and just shut it down. maybe it will magically work next time. I checked all the cabling in the basement in case something weird happened but everything seems in place.
Come to think of it, same happened to my work machine, had to get an external sound card for it. I seem to have terrible luck with sound just dying randomly. On the work machine I think it's hardware related though as windows does not even detect any sound card. On my personal one it shows that sound is playing but it just never sends it out of the actual computer.

Went to pick up the furniture. A sectional. We have a problem dog so we bought used. Fuckers lived on the 3rd floor. They didn't mention it was a sleeper on one end and the chaise opened into storage. It was the second heaviest sofa I've moved in my lifetime and it was on the god damn third floor. At least it fit through my doorways easily, so I got that goin for me.

Wait til the roaches start hatching :^D
Sleeper sofas suck to move. They're waaaay heavier than they look.

nah. Very clean people. We actually know them. Yes, sleeper sofas suck. I would have passed on it had I known beforehand. The worst part is it's a sectional. I lost my end table for it to fit and my end is the chaise....

Futons are the best choice. Lightweight. Usually not expensive, and never comfortable enough that an unwelcome brother in law will get the idea he's welcome to stay forever.
Were grownups. Usually sofa and loveseat. My wife pushed for a sectional. I am already not pleased. I figger at the worst I get stuck with it for a year or two.

Go into the BIOS and make sure you disabled the onboard sound... also if you have an Nvidia GPU its possible the Nvidia HD audio driver is causing a conflict.

Onboard sound is the only thing I have. But I may need to get another sound card, that will probably fix the issue. Though maybe disabling it and re-enabling it will do something, I'll play around with that.
I do wonder if the sound board the two PCs connect to somehow glitched but I can't see why that would cause the PCs to go wonky like that. I never touched the sound board and it started to work, so clearly something software wise messed up, and same with Windows. I am starting to lean towards some weird power surge but the UPS should have picked that up.

Reinstalling the driver seems to have fixed it. That is weird though... what are the odds that both machines experience software related sound issues. They are connected through a KVM and sound board, but still. If it was in fact a power surge I would expect more stuff to be fried. But another thing that was weird is I had no network on the windows machine either. The ethernet cable has a broken tab and I just never bothered to replace it so it was just loose, but still weird all this at once.

This week I thought I'd buy some nice new flannel sheets for the winter. Went to my nearest Bed Bath and Beyond. Out of business. I had no idea.
And Target & Walmart have horrible sheets.
Gonna have to take a chance with Amazon, but usually I prefer to touch the sheets so I know how they feel.

Lol fun FWP for today.
So I run a minecraft server, nothing really serious, like me and a friend hop on once in a while and just hang out or whatever. A while back I noticed some weird stuff like chests missing and blocks missing, like a creeper blew up or something. But then we started to find more weird stuff and it looked way worse than just some weird glitch. Then it started to dawn on me, the damage was starting to look more deliberate, aka griefing. Remembered a while back I removed the IP whitelist and just let it wide open, as one of his friends wanted to play too and instead of starting to manage a white list of IPs that may change over time I figured I'd just chance it and let it wide open. For whatever reason there is no option to set a server password. So long story short I checked the logs and sure enough I got hit. Some player with name jewishsex (lol) logged in at some point from a BC based IP. I'm running on the default port so I'm sure these are just people port scanning IP ranges to look for rogue minecraft servers. I don't take this server all that seriously hence why I did not care too much about security, but it's kind of hilarious that it happened. At least it rules out anything weird going on with the server.
I ended up just re-adding the IP whitelist for now. I think there is a way to whitelist based on username, need to look more into it, just never really bothered.

If they are terrible I will know right away, yes.
But if they are just meh and I dont find out for sure until I've washed them and used them one night, then I cannot return them.

L.L. Bean has great flannel sheets. I've had mine for around eight years and they're still as good as new.

Have 4 UPS deliveries from 4 different stores coming this week. All have shipped, but since Thursday UPS has showed "Check back tomorrow for an updated delivery date" I guess I could look at the current location and figure it out, but they need to fix their shit!
