Tech

• Migrating from my *.io domains to *.info which is cheaper and more stable as a generic TLD, and the prices are not becoming ridiculous, as .ios are. Who knows what will happen with the .io tld now that Chagoans (actually, Mauritians) are going to get their country back (excluding a long-term lease of Diego Garcia).
• Problem with monitor / computer going to sleep in Debian 13? Try this in your .bashrc:

xset dpms 0 0 0 && xset s noblank  && xset s off

Tasks (open)

• Enable caching on Gcore
• Install and configure Ejabbard server for domain: mcneill.info
  • Migrate users from chat.mcneill.im to mcneill.info XMPP
• Add useragent 'montastic-monitor http://www.montastic.com ' whitelist

Books

Wow, lots of interesting books read, they just come in and go out like the tide. Nonfiction, Light Novels, Science Fiction, all good.
