So what’s the point? Modlogs, while providing transparency, seems counterproductive.

Yes, transparency is the point. A mod’s actions should always be verifiable.

When they don’t write things into the modlog, their usual excuse is ‘too much to do’, but there might be another explanation, too.

I know, I’m paranoid

It does not mean that you are paranoid. It just means that you are vastly overestimating your own importance.

The problem, as I see it, is: You are rotating around yourself. All the time. Round and round.

Humans are made for relationships. Not just man-woman, but relationships in the most general sense.

You are not living any strong relationships, and therefore your life feels meaningless.

So, the solution is: start to invest your time into people. Nursing wasn’t a bad start at all. But you do it for a job = for making money, so there’s not much coming back to you.

My advice is:

Do something for people in such a way that nothing comes back to you. I’m not talking about money, but your time. It does not need to be much. But do it very regularly. That way you will be able to escape that rotating around yourself.

You are going to meet new people, and there will be some wonderful people among them. Some others, too, but you are strong enough not to get scared off easily.

None.

You voted yourself that banana ape, so now you got that banana ape, and nothing can be done anymore.

You would also shit 50 big piles along your own garden fence just to keep the neighbor’s cat out?

They are one and the same country, divided by two governments. You should rather hope that they can reunite, instead of pursuing evil phantasies of war.

but my pessimistic side thinks this might have set a great example for CEOs to always maintain a level of humanity or face unforseen consequences.

To maybe help your pessimistic side:

Even when the murderer gets convicted, that CEO will still remain dead.

Yes, we seem to have forgotten most of the achievements of the 70’s

The very smart criminals don’t leave cartridges behind.

(Not saying that very smart criminals actually exist)

We would give a brief “Oooohh”
and then go on with our lives.

I have heard that Google has never been down for >20 years…

Homeassistant does not know how good your devices work. It only tells about whether or not they can communicate/integrate together.

During the last year or so, ZigBee has become even more popular as a communication protocol.

I’d like to become a tree.

LOL bad news for you…

Volcano don’t become kitten.
Human don’t become tree.
Sponge don’t become transformer.

You do not keep the pool, but the data set = file system.

man zfs send

For what purpose are you writing this…

I do not need to know your reasons.
You do not owe me.

End goal of work is engineering or design but I’ll settle for factory or shop floor work or something

And there’s the problem. You are selling yourself for cheap. They recognize that, inevitably. That’s why you are getting such terrible, impossible offers.

Start to think reasonably about yourself, then present yourself reasonably.

But you need a friend or two to help with this. It’s not easy to do such a change on your own.

If the mod has written the reason into the mod log, then you can read it there.

Some mods do that thoroughly, others only when the weather is nice on a sunday…

all while the battery gets charged.

Any smart charging device can only make a guess at the max. capacity unless it does a full load/unload/load cycle.

What did you do?

What did you expect?

What did you observe?

It’s an old desktop PC

One (or more) of the electrolytic capacitors in your PSU has died.

Remove the power cord, wait for 2 hours, open the PSU and look carefully for the candidate(s) with the domed head. Healthy ones are perfectly flat on the head.

Order a new one and replace it.
