bought a new battery for tabby, our X61t ThinkPad

at first was worried it was bad because the battery light was flashing and then flickering, and the OS reported charging but no actual charge estimate and voltage was around 10V, but a few hours plugged and turned off seems to have brought it up to 100% (i'd have expected longer but got impatient)

doing a tlp recalibrate now and i'll believe "3 hours remaining" when i see it but if the readings are accurate, the trend so far looks good!

Fittingly, 42 years to the day since The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy was first broadcast on TV.

the fix for a library not syncing according to seafile forums is to resync it (unsync and sync again)

time to fucking use discord for file sharing once again because seafile is fucking useless

self-hosting your own dropbox is all well and fun until the seafile client stops being able to sync and has the worst fucking support ever

you know what i got for googling the exact error i'm getting? the fucking SOURCE CODE WHERE THAT MESSAGE IS STORED
