It turns out making proxy files is quite important when editing video across your LAN. Don’t edit video across your LAN, it ends in tears and frustration.

Today on “weird crap that seems undocumented on the Internet” we have DNS that doesn’t want to resolve and DHCP that is acting weird. My home DNS server decided it didn’t want to resolve things any more, and it took far too long to figure out why.

But this is not a post about that, that post was great, it was long and descriptive and kind of amusing to read. And then I deleted it by accident due to some questionable UI choices in WordPress and the wonky trackpad on my tablet.

Did you know WordPress will permanently delete posts without prompting. Hit that “delete permanently” button and it’s gone. Not even Windows is that mean. My mouse pointer was a pixel into the hitbox for “Delete permanently” and I was trying to hit “restore”. And it went.
