Jan 31, 2026: pac-man

I managed to corrupt my local repo last night or today, and while his wasn't as dramatic of a problem as the last time I borked myself like this, it's still annoying and lost time. I'm finding the Windows Subsystem for Linux to be pretty buggy and I'm wondering if I shouldn't just find a way to run full Linux, somewhere, somehow.

It's one of those things that sounds really cool and fun, but I've got bigger fish to fry right now. And/or a lack of mental capacity, and/or a lack of time, and/or you get the point. Now, if what I'm doing right now to bring things back up goes horribly wrong or this happens again for the 3rd time in a few weeks......I might just git er dun.

Hey look at that, it looks like we are back - it worked. Because I just brute force these kinds of fixes to include the most current releases of the packages I'm using, I ended up upgrading from Next 16.1.3 to 16.1.6. A random 30 minutes forced upon me ends up in an upgrade.

Let's call that fate.

Iterate.
