Wed Dec 13 08:18:00 EST 2017 Slept from nine-thirty to six-thirty. Woke around two-thirty, and slept fitfully after that. High of twenty-two and heavy snow today. Eight inches of new snow predicted between now and midnight. I decided to take a PTO day. Doug Jones (D) beat sexual predator Roy Moore (R) in the special election to fill Jeff Session's (boo!) vacated senate seat. Perhaps our republic may yet avoid doom. Goals: - Get DNS filtering working on Nanook Done. Goodbye, ads. - Golang something Done. Vacuumed, tidied up a few things. Watched a few episodes of Class, a teen drama Doctor Who spin-off. "It's like a Hellmouth." Ha. This fix for the vscode font rendering/artifact bug works (though it may actually be a bug with the libfreetype in Debian buster). https://superuser.com/questions/1265411/font-rendering-issue-in-visual-studio-code/1266220 --- bava ~ % cd Downloads/ --- bava ~/Downloads % wget http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/pool/main/f/freetype/libfreetype6_2.6.3-3.2_amd64.deb --- bava ~/Downloads % mkdir libfreetype --- bava ~/Downloads % dpkg-deb -R libfreetype6_2.6.3-3.2_amd64.deb libfreetype --- bava ~/Downloads % sudo cp libfreetype/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libfreetype.so.6.12.3 /usr/share/code/ --- bava ~/Downloads % sudo ln -s /usr/share/code/libfreetype.so.6.12.3 /usr/share/code/libfreetype.so.6 Lunch: coffee, chicken pot pie Dinner: pizza
