Just made a breakfast tray and brought it to my wife, still in bed.

The wonderful joys of the children being at grandma’s house for two nights.

Which you deserve if you can get it to still run

Messing around with the Zed Shaw Python 3 book.

Updated SYnology Firmware and resting.

Good morning everyone! Had a busy night around here.

Doing some Google searching to see when Fedora 27 will update to the new Linux kernel 4.14.... anyone know?

I don't think that typically Fedora updates kernels between releases, do they? I wouldn't expect it till Fedora 28 releases.

No idea... maybe not major versions that I can remember. But I have seen smaller updates.

I think 4.12 to 4.13 during F26 lifespan.

Memory is a little foggy, though, so I can't say for sure.

But F28 is a while away... that sucks if I have to wait

Looks like they are testing kernel 4.15 on Fedora 28.

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Kernel Looks like 4.14 will come in the next.

That's what I've been expecting.

Getting some time in with Skyrim while the house is quiet.

I've enjoyed a weekend of downtime with some Everquest. Feel like I haven't "let loose" in a while.
