I was lucky during the flooding yesterday and other people were not as lucky. If you are in Vermont and need help, if you are in Vermont and can offer help, or if you want to help from a distance, this crowdsourced document is a pretty good place to start. #VermontFlooding #MutualAid #VTflood23

How to eject an SMB share from the iOS files app: press eject from the rotor. Then try from the context menu. Kill the app, restart the app, restart the phone because the app won’t come up, try again. Repeat 3 times. Turn on airplane mode. Go back into the ejected folder and hit the more button. It’s finally gone.

@Pawpower You guys can keep the brussels sprouts and pork ribs, but I'm glad you're making supper for your friend. Fridge death is never pleasant.

Get in fedizens, we’re doing Tuesday.
I slept in too late to attend the morning minyan so I’ll catch the evening one later. My braille display is acting weird though so I need to sort out why it’s just randomly scrolling through everything before I can actually use it. I’m hoping there’s a firmware update that’ll fix this.
We don’t have regular baseball until the weekend, and last night at least we didn’t listen to the Home Run Derby, although I’ll check to see how things turned out.
Oh, and we’re waiting for some groceries.
Other than that, it’s just another normal work day.
