My coworkers used to dabble in mechanical keyboards. Some of them claimed they could stop anytime they wanted. My friend C made no such claims. I don't think I ever saw the same keyboard twice. It's possible some of them were just alternate keycap combinations.

I, of course, grew up on mechanical keyboards, but I've put it behind me. I love my Macbook, the low travel keys are fast and the lack of CLACK is perfectly CLACK-ceptable, honestly.

So when I randomly spotted this cheap knockoff mechanical keyboard with one missing key for $5 at Goodwill, I thought: what the hell. A CLACK or two just for a laugh. First one's practically free...

CLACK CLACK CLACK CLACK CLACK CLACK CLACK

Oh dear. I think I really like the CLACK.

This is going to be a problem, isn't it.

Gee, this thing weights a ton.

Elevators are great art. They work on so many levels.

Did you hear about the Gen Z BDSM shop? It's called executive function.

I was going to buy a parcel of land, but it was kind of a lot.

How do you make fuckin' s'mores? With damn crackers.

Today I called my son by my cat's name. That's right - I failed a CATCHA.

I'm pitching a reboot of Pinocchio set in Brooklyn. It's called "the only living toy in New York."

People who think Mandela died in the 80's aren't from an alternate universe. They just have terrible death perception.

Honestly, it's not the prettiest tree posted on OnePo this week. But our block has a real humdinger of its own.

This second photo does a good job of capturing how much this tree dominates the frame in person as well.

Tesla's sales are down 13% globally in Q1, compared to Q1 of last year.

It was worse in China, and in most of Europe.

I want to celebrate, but this still leaves me wondering about the math. If sales tanked worse in most countries, then they may have improved somewhere else to balance at 13%.

Guess where "somewhere" is gonna be... guess what country we don't have sales numbers for yet 🤣

There are other explanations though, the Model Y just got a refresh that some people were waiting for. That bump won't last.

So I am still hopeful that Americans will be either too smart or too dumb to buy a Tesla!

Independent journalist Molly White has a solid take on where to go from here. She's taking a break from telling the often hilariously ugly truth about crypto nonsense to talk about more important things. Audio also available.

I'm sorry to see the news everyone. Things did not go well in my state or in America. This will be a four years for a rebuilding, involvement in your community, taking care of yourself and your loved ones and not doomscrolling. Making a difference in other ways. Finding cracks in the brick wall of division. And aiding those who are especially harmed by the new administration's behavior.

So: breathe. Recharge. And if you can't, let me know how I can help.

Some have noticed a brief outage earlier today. That was me, moving OnePo and friends to a new server, running a new long-term-support OS.

We're on Debian 12 Linux now, for those who care about such things. Supported until mid-2028! A genuine, democratically run community project!

In mid-2028 I may even be able to upgrade in place, although it's usually a good practice to redo these things from time to time.

This all went much more quickly than it might have. Like... two hours of knocking around? Tops? I had minimal trouble moving my nginx, certbot, postfix and opendkim configurations over as-is.

I also got a slight price cut out of the deal.

Still running on Linode. I considered moving to AWS Lightsail, but Lightsail is just a less convenient clone of Linode for people whose bosses insist on AWS, and I'm not one of those bosses. Except when I'm at work. Linode offered shiny-modern Debian 12 as a standard option, and the ability to just swap my existing IP address to the new server as soon as it was ready to go. Bamfl!

I'm keeping the old server around, powered off, for one week juuuuust in case I missed something.

I came away thinking Biden kind of nailed it, as much as he could have. Except of course for the crazy name transposition in the beginning, but that's kind of classic Biden.

Maybe my standards have been lowered. I heard him making sense so I wasn't really thinking about whether he was meandering too much. 

I think they trained him to slow down, they figured out he makes more sense that way. 

I don't know that it will be possible to remove him after this, unless he really trips over himself between now and the  convention.

I wish he would step down but I no longer think it is likely.

Thank you for reading my op ed 

Today I did the old-fashioned thing and filled out the good old contact the president form, asking him to please not run for reelection. It was a strange feeling. There is no drop-down choice for "please stop."
