  • Patient privacy best protected by a doctor’s poor handwriting.

    Back when giants ruled the earth, a snooper need to trek across the country, ask a harried file clerk for the file that hopefully wasn’t lost, wade through a a foot thick folder, then hopefully decipher the doctors shitty handwriting before finding out about anything juicy. In any case, the file was burned in 7 years or so because the file room needed space.

    Nowadays, any secretary can instantly access the data from a computer on the other side of the continent and the files are never purged.














  • Gentoo is great. I can configure it exactly the way I want. I switched to it after redhat went enterprise and never looked back. Stage 1 install.

    However, sometimes packages get out of sync an I have build problems that need to be diagnosed.

    Sometimes some packages get deprecated & I have to redo my configuration.

    Deprecating python 2.7 was especially fun.

    Back in the day, manual config of x11 was needed and that was fun. Back in the redhat days, the x11 configuration was in multiple places which was confusing.

    Sound still is erratic after the laptop goes to sleep.

    I did a manual transition from X to Wayland and that took a bit of learning.
