Cutting my hair and trimming my beard.
I gave up both of those long ago.

I might be able to give up grooming my facial hair but my head is different story.
If l give that up, I would look George Jefferson or the sea when Moses parts the sea in the Ten Commandments movie. -

I just woke up about an hour ago and I don't think I was done sleeping.
I'll second that.

Watching the Draft.

Just tried to watch TV and realized that there isn't a single thing that I felt like sitting through.
-
Little outage there, but we are back.

Heading just North of Milwaukee for a phone system cutover.

So far, so good!
I must say, you learn a lot when you do things manually that you normally take for granted.
Everything is so incredibly fast, way more so than when using Windows or Fedora / Ubuntu + Gnome.

Do you have a Roku or Samsung smart TV?

That's just how TV is and why we don't need it. I don't think we'll ever need more than Netflix/Disney+.

I’ve only installed and used Arch Linux based distro like ArchBang and Manjaro Linux. What made you considered trying Arch Linux?

I have Netflix, Hulu, Prime and Disney+ (only because it's free) and still nothing I want to watch. So I just worked, that was more interesting. There's stuff I'd be willing to have on in the background, but nothing I want to pay attention to.

The YouTube show Basic vs Baller is on Hulu now and I like it, but I can only watch one episode at a time as it is overly contrived. The show really shows how YouTube can take a really great show like Vagabrothers, add in an HGTV-like format, give it Google money, and can't be anywhere near as good as the original, low budget show. It shows how much Google has money, but how little they can make good content.

Dealing with a Comcast issue at my office. Comcast guy onsite. They were onsite yesterday and replaced the modem. Same issue occurring today.

Issues are with the carrier, not the medium. Comcast Fiber has the same problems as Comcast copper.

Yeah, I would be inclined to agree, but I have fiber at that location as well, just another person is using it. It is fine, and has been for years. Comcast cable in the area is terrible, but fiber seems rock solid.

Their Wiki is extremely usable. I did it to gain a better understanding of some things. It took quite a bit of navigating around there Wiki but it is well linked together so you can find exactly what you need with minimal work. I went with gnome because it's clean and I kind of liked it though efficiency of it and the work flow.

Hah. I just got Comcast installed this morning, and I'm still setting up my router policies with the new setup. It's going to take me a bit, because both connections are known to be crap. Armstrong cable has minuscule data caps. Comcast service is known to not be great. So now I have 2 poor internet connections instead of 1.
