The thing about getting sucked into Reddit's r/AskElectricians is that I'm now pretty sure I'll never trust an actual electrician ever again, and I'm happy that we rewired our house ourselves...

Upgraded my web server Ubuntu and Dan Lyke / comment 1
Upgraded my web server Ubuntu, and suddenly Apache won't write the log files where it's been writing the log files for a long time (under my personal home directory). And I have no idea how to debug this, whether it's some new permissions layer, or...?
Also rewriting C++ because a package I was using has disappeared.
I think the future kinda sucks. I suspect it's time for me to learn one of the BSDs and compile all my own stuff from scratch rather than depending on packages.
