Well, I definitely spent a lot of time fighting Bluetooth on Linux. It all "just worked" on Debian Trixie under GNOME, but I switched back to cwm and had lots of issues.
It seems that my Bluetooth adapter might have been going to sleep prematurely and messing things up, so I disabled that with a kernel parameter. I also had to tell the HID devices to use the kernel driver instead of the userland driver (which just did nothing, weird!).
Also, I think a lot of things on Linux assume you're either running under a desktop environment with all the DBus etc. providers -- or that you're an terminal dweller who wants to configure everything with curses or a CLI tool: I'd just like some GUIs, some of the time, thanks!
Ripping a pile of CDs. I've stalled on my Go-based static site generator for MP3s. (It's reasonably far along, just not gotten back around to it). Ripping CDs will be required for the end result, so might as well feed the machine. I've somehow amassed 20 discs to rip since my last session of doing this. Hooray for charity shops and the local second-hand record store.
Still planning on doing a BGP / ISP things. Found gobgp which seems like ... exabgp but in Go. A thing to have in my tool-belt, I guess!
Also have to refresh my IPv6 experience and bring it up-to-date. Planning on running a v6-only network in my house with CLAT/NAT64/DNS64 all good to go. If I can get a tunnel from someone, I guess!
Other stuff:
Four of us and a dog dragged the tree home a couple of miles with a cart, as is (recently made up, but cast-iron) tradition.
Presents got, dinner planned and ingredients ordered. I feel weirdly ... done.
It's once again nice to not care too much about BFCM, but I do get some FOMO of my Shopify friends who are still there.
Finally, finally, have rid of the cabinet saw we had in the garage so the car can fit in there properly. Just in time for the snow to come.
