It seemed to work, but FreeFileSync seems too Windows-focused or Windows-specific and the user interface and website both feel very amateur which does not inspire confidence. I could not figure out how to restore a folder as of a certain date. I decided to give up on it despite its seeming power and its no cost. Late small meal: medium salad, water.

Sun Feb 7, 2021
Ran in place to World's Tallest Tower: Burj Khalifa - Dubai's Vertical City | Free Documentary on YouTube. I mostly enjoyed this video. The couple depicted in it are appalling in some ways, but the comments are also appalling, particularly those calling for the woman's murder or suggesting that that might be a good thing. What has happened to our humanity, YouTube? Medium bowl of oatmeal with milk, cinnamon, sliced banana; water. Installed and configured Backblaze on our entertainment server. Encountered error "Backblaze could not create a read-writable '.bzvol' directory" and submitted a support request after being unable to resolve it via their knowledgebase. Grilled cheese sandwich with super greens. Patrick made madeleines today using John Kanell's recipe. I received a response from Backblaze that resolved the problem: add read and write permissions to system and everyone. Patrick and I ate madeleines, and they are delicious. Unloaded photos from my phone. Dinner at home with Patrick: takeout from Lost and Found via Uber Eats: kale caesar, birria de res tacos, garlic fries, five-spice chicken sliders. We attempted to add a White Claw Black Cherry, but Uber Eats wouldn't let us check out (something about you need to order food with alcohol) so we left it out of the cart and I bought the alcohol in person during pickup. The salad was fresh and nicely presented with curly parmesan, fresh black pepper, and mixed-color cherry tomatoes. The tacos were not greasy at all and perfectly prepared except for the discovery of a large bone in one of them. The garlic fries were barely warm and possibly part of an old batch. The sliders were delicious with slightly too much slaw sauce. Not the best first experience with a restaurant, but I'm happy to be forgiving during a pandemic, and it's so nearby that I'm willing to give it a few more chances. Dessert: one madeleine each. Patrick washed dishes. We finished watching Transcendence on Netflix DVD. This film had potential but ultimately disappointed because while it revealed the beginnings of some interesting philosophical questions—what is sentience? what is real versus virtual?—it failed to fully develop and explore them. We cuddled in bed and I arose after a while. Late snack: finished the remainder of the caesar salad.

Dessert: we each had two madeleines and a small square of dark chocolate with almonds. Yesterday's Backblaze initial backup completed, and I made some configuration changes. We watched Legion s1:e6 on Hulu Basic Plan. Patrick went to bed. We cuddled in bed and I arose after a while. I washed more dishes. Backups and updates for home devices. Troubleshot problems upgrading MAMP PRO.

It turned the computer off during the update. I had trouble restarting it, but eventually it restarted—I don't know what I did to make it work. Upon restart, the update process continued and completed. It took a long time and several restarts occurred. For the entire time I was fearful that the update process had broken and bricked it. Eventually it started working again. I applied the same update to the entertainment server, and the process went faster and smoother there.

It was supposed to have been delivered overnight, but we finally received it today—a week later. We opened the package, and it looked terrible. Eventually Patrick got a refund and Brennan's will likely file a claim with UPS. There was no opportunity for a replacement since king cake season is over.

I chosed "Education and childcare" and I guess because of that and my age I am eligible, but the closest—and only—location available is 7000 Coliseum Way, Oakland, California, 94621, which we're not doing because it's too far, especially when we don't own a car.
