Scott took afternoon PTO at the last minute.
(Forgot to do his taxes?)

Twenty-five-minute walk at lunch.
Sunny and cool.

> Here's a fun one for you. /etc/aliases happens to be valid YAML, and very simple. Want it in JSON format? Parse as YAML, convert to JSON. The reverse transformation is also trivial.
> This is true of many of the other configuration files you'll find under /etc, too.

Home:
- Email Mom about Easter
  Done.
- Test Debian download checksums
  Done.

Ran a couple errands on my way home.

Massive fire at Notre Dame.

> The spire was incredible. It was one oak trunk, connected with a "Scarf Joint", or "Jupitre" in French (Bolt-of-lightning joint)
> There were the names of the last guys to inspect it in the 1930s, engraved at the top. There was a french ww2 bullet embedded in the spire, presumably shot at a germany sniper who was in the spire...
> Everything in the roof was antique wood. Anyone that went into the roof was paranoid of fire.
> Outside of its intrinsic value, the spire also held religious relics (Thorn from the Crown of Thorns etc..). They were apparently contained in the wind-vane on the top of the crow's nest.
> We were unable to access the crow's nest - the last 3 ladder rungs (the spire had iron foot pegs every 50cm or so up one side) had been removed - ( presumably to stop people from getting to the relics ) - and there was no way we could get access without installing scaffolding.
> There was so much hidden detail on the roof - works that would never be seen from the ground - invisible to everyone but the workers and artisans. Truly a loss.
> André Finot, the spokesperson of Notre-Dame de Paris, announced soon after the fire was known that the roof's wood frame was doomed. This frame was in two parts: one side from oak beams of the 13th century, the other half from the 19th. Of course, the spire was in later part, since it was built by Viollet-Le-Duc.

> Russia, meanwhile, hardly seems to have been chastened by the US government’s sanctions for NotPetya, which arrived a full eight months after the worm hit and whose punishments were muddled with other messages chastising Russia for everything from 2016 election disinformation to hacker probes of the US power grid. “The lack of a proper response has been almost an invitation to escalate more,” says Thomas Rid, a political science professor at Johns Hopkins’ School of Advanced International Studies.

I can reliably download the Debian ISO at work.
What's up with home?
Network issues?
Test it without the VPN?

Yes, the checksum matches at home too, if I download outside the VPN.
Hmm.
At least, it seems less likely to be a hardware error with my machine.
Yes, inside OpenVPN, the download checksum always fails, but works outside the VPN.
Doesn't seem to matter if the OpenVPN uses UDP or TCP.
