Diary - Dec 16 to Dec 22 2023

Sat Dec 16 2023

Sleep 0330 to 0930 (6 hours)

  • Waited until noon for weekend custodian but when I checked garbage bins hadn’t been rotated.
  • Oops, missed him again. Small black car. In and out less than 5 minutes so that’s all he’s doing. Caucasian looking at first glance, doesn’t fit the name Francisco. A bit conflicted about a $120 gift if that’s all he does. Maybe if he does it on Sunday too.

Sun Dec 17 2023

Sleep 0500 to 1200 (7 hours)

  • Drobo reported 2nd drive failed. After rebuild is done will try removing/re-puggling it in and let it reformat and reuse it. Last Aug 2022 it was 5th drive that reported failure.

Mon Dec 18 2023

Sleep 0230 to 0930 (7 hours)

  • Noticed GOG game pages now have Time to Beat numbers from HowLongToBeat (crowdsourced times). Never heard of the site but it’s neat.
  • Mr Cooper had some sort of data breach though they’re still investigating extent. Two years of free credit monitoring but what else can be done? I’d rather they try to harden their systems rather than paying money to affected people (if there should be a class action lawsuit).

Tue Dec 19 2023

Sleep 0245 to 1115 (8-1/2 hours)

  • Midnight I went to the nearest In-n-Out for a hamburger but lots of cars at the drive thru so I assume fairly busy inside too.

Wed Dec 20 2023

Sleep 0300 to 1100 (8 hours)

  • Drobo finished rebuild. Inserted the “bad” drive again. Drobo seems ok with it now. Doesn’t say it is rebalancing so I guess it’ll do it in the background without warning about it.

Thu Dec 21 2023

Sleep 0500 to 1100 (6 hours)

  • Looking at the Apps Purchased screen on App Store app it’s kind of annoying I can’t sort this at all. Seems to be in purchased date order which is better than no order.

Fri Dec 22 2023

Sleep 0230 to 1215 (9-3/4 hours)

  • This month I’ve been heavy with the Twitch donations. Next month will try for zero.
