got my NanoPi M4 booting Armbian, but it doesn't like the old tv I have for a monitor, and sshd is being wonky. #sbc

I love how the SBC community has pretty much just accepted that the standard way of writing images to microSD cards is an Electron app that's a ~60MB download.

Also, it's no longer just Etcher, it's "balena Etcher"

(also because, if you come to truly appreciate Greater Boston flavored humor, which usually comes with SOME kind of poke in the ribs, and then move away for many years, it's a rare treat to see somebody play the Masshole schtick so well as Bill Burr, which he does because he lived it.)

I tend to give media dudes like Rogan and Bill Burr a bit more of a pass than maybe I would other working class hero types because I grew up in the same part of the country they did, I hung out and got in trouble with kids like them as a teen, and we click culturally. and because despite all the barbed wire bicep tattoo culture I didn't and don't click with, some of those kids were damn good people. and I can recognize that in these guys.

thinking about this a lil more, I do still need to listen to the Ed Snowden episode of Joe Rogan's show. that's one I am *really* interested in, in part because of it being Joe's domain and thus likely to touch on topics that many great interviewers might not, in a way they might not. (though I would love to see Snowden on Letterman's new show, if that's still a thing.)

thinkpiece about Joe Rogan, very wow, much on brand for the Atlantic

(which I still regularly check when avoiding my news diet)

Last winter, Rogan had the Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey on his show and the episode was a bust, resulting in a kind of blowback from fans that he’d never experienced before. It wasn’t that Joe was insufficiently hard-assed; [rather,] he failed at the most basic task of a host: forcing his guest to say something, anything, meaningful … that’s just how Dorsey talks, and Rogan couldn’t crack it. He’s not the first person Dorsey has bullshitted to death, and he won’t be the last.

Signal Messenger has surpassed its usual flakiness and straight up started silently eating messages on desktop and Android, and maybe iOS too.

Not good.
