As usual, policy and procedures without properly defined controls burn us. Honestly, why did we even go through that whole re-org after the WW2 outage if we're not actually going to adhere to our own policies?

This is why I've been arguing against rebase merges. If we aren't super careful with older branches, we end up with messes like this. Maybe just squash and merge in the future?

I haven't found a solid answer for this...does XMPP support proper history nowadays? I remember using XMPP servers back around 2012 and if you didn't have your client open, you just missed messages in rooms. If that's still the case, it's a pretty significant draw back...

You could fit both of those cars inside a Canyonero!

"Children of Time" surprised me quite a bit. It was a gift from a family member. One of those "oh...they like sci-fi..." kind of gifts. And it was really good.

I've always wondered: Can one truly borrow a feeling?

They are untrustworthy, and some like to bite cars.

I know it's not the most popular, but I've genuinely been happy with Matrix for the last few years. Obviously there are problems, but it really has gotten fairly stable. At least...for me...

ICE has some reporting requirements that they are (Maybe? To some extent?) still following.

This tool was doing some collection for that: https://github.com/Open-Security-Mapping-Project/ice_detention_scraper

(Development has hit a bit of a snag recently unfortunately.)

 

This is definitely a long shot, but I figured I'd start somewhere...

I saw today that Look Homeward, Angel entered the public domain. I remembered my dad really liking the book (and I remember bouncing off it myself years ago). In reading the Wikipedia article, I noticed there was a TV Movie made of the play adaptation in 1972. I thought, "Sure would be cool if I could find that movie somewhere. My dad might enjoy seeing it!"

What I'm stuck on: All searching I've done so far has just lead me to streaming services/etc. that have a page for the show (with the exact copy as the IMDb page...) but don't have the actual show to watch.

Does anyone know how to search further? I thought about reaching out to my local library (which I couldn't do today), but beyond that, I'm a bit stumped. Too trained on more recent/less obscure stuff, I guess.

Edit: The Paley Center maybe has something? (Although they said it was aired on CBS) https://www.paleycenter.org/collection/item/?q=cbs&p=31&item=T79:0070
