    Everything I have currently is pretty much working and maintaining itself. My logs are quiet and predictable. It’s been nice.

    I do have two things to do. One is it switch from iptables to nftables because podman is depreciating support for iptables. I absolutely hate working with firewalls, the syntax is always awful. For some reason ufw isn’t working with nftables like I hoped so now I’m working up the energy to learn nftables itself.

    The other thing to do is to update Alpine Linux to the latest release version. I’m trying to figure out how to properly update the cache of installed packages on my main computer. After that I should be able to run my upgrade script and things should take care of itself. I hope. With Alpine I usually wait a month or two after the initial release of a new version, things always seem to break if I update immediately and I don’t want to trouble shoot too many things.

    Other than that, I’ve gone back to making functional scripts again. Currently I am working on a new backup script that handles logging and automated rotation of backup snapshots. It’ll be POSIX portable and easy to integrate with crontab. It’s essentially the culmination of all my POSIX shell scripting knowledge. I just have to figure out one last and huge hurdle and I’ll be happy with the script.

    I too was upset with the use of Claude/AI/LLM’s in the rsync project. The maintainer received a lot of public backlash and as a result people have offered their time to help the maintainer with this project.

    Since the backlash, the use of agents has been drastically reduced. That seems like a very human and overall positive response. It sucks that it happened. It’s nice that people are now doing the work again. The response could have been a lot worse. I can be forgiving in this specific situation.

Why do mourning doves vibrate?

Lately I’ve noticed the mourning dove nesting in our planter has been vibrating a lot lately. It’s throat visibly and silently vibrates. I’ve even noticed it’s tail has been vibrating as well and it’s causing the plants in the planter to shake too.

Currently there’s two babies in the nest with it so I assume it’s some form of contentment like a cat purring?

When I first go outside, it’s usually like an unblinking statue. Once I’m sitting down and eating or playing music at a reasonable volume, it’s quite animated, curious, blinking and vibrating constantly.

I also thought maybe it has something to do with producing crop milk since this all started sometime around when the babies hatched but I can’t find anything when I search for more information.

    Our yearly visitors

    lemmy.dbzer0.com

    Every year the mourning doves come to claim my mothers planter on our backyard deck to make a nest. They even have some shelter overhead to protect themselves from rain and sun.

    This year they took about 4 days to prepare their nest before the mother started staying full time.

    They are all quite chill with us on the deck and will usually watch us for a bit until they relax. I’m sure my dad will slowly work up to being able to water the plants without the doves flying away but it’s still too soon right now.

    Looking forward to seeing the babies :)
