#mapleai I'm easing into AI. I had Maple AI generate some log pruning logic to a PowerShell log writing function. Wow, it did a great job at it other than using an unapproved verb for the pruning function name. I'll see how it all works today shortly after midnight. Version Date Whom Notes ======= ========== ======== ===================================================== 0.1.5 11/20/2025 MapleAI Prune log entries from the prior day except for the last day's entry 0.1.4 11/15/2025 cadayton Revised logic for shutting down VM guests.

VboxShutdown Service

VboxShutdown Service shuts down VirtualBox Guests in a savedstate prior to a power outage event when using CyberPower's UPS Battery Backup.

#grapheneOS I just dontated $100 to GrapheneOS (thestinger) for their hard work. Now I just need to remember to do this frequently. I just installed GrapheneOS in the last several months (pixel 9a) for the first time and it is working flawlessly. There were a few ruff spots while getting setup, but it was mainly OE on my part. Anyway, if your using GrapheneOS and haven't donated lately please consider doing so. I can't think of a better way to show your support.

Just compiled Gossip and kicking the tires with it. I'm in the arduous process of learning rust. Once I get my rust legs underneath me Gossip will be good code to study to gather a little more experience with rust as well as learning the Nostr protocol.

Wrote a VboxShutdown Service to shutdown my VirtualBox guests in a savedstate prior to the backup battery being consumed. Check out the blog post:

I recently purchase this battery backup system for my Linux desktop. It provides 15 minutes of runtime to shutdown the system gracefully before total power loss. With their Power Panel software, the shutdown process can be automated. Although the Power Panel software is able to shutdown the host successfully, it doesn't invoke the script to shutdown my VMs. So bottom line, I wrote my own systemd service that will automatically shutdown each VM in a savedstate before the host is shutdown. I'll follow this up with a blog reference once the documentation is completed.

I wonder how many of the sell offers on no-kyc exchanges where just previously purchased on KYC exchanges and then marked up on the no-kyc exchanges. 🤔
