SHARKS.

The laptop hasn't crashed in nearly 24 hours! It's still showing some intermittent slightly odd behaviour but it's entirely recoverable from! I don't really understand what's going on but I'll take it!

Meanwhile, we've swapped the bedrooms around. This has involved moving my desktop computer.

It will no longer boot into Debian. The Windows install -- which I can't do anything with, as I'm not on the work network -- is fine! Debian... gets partway through boot and then hangs forever a little while after "failed to start Create System Users" and a long while before I appear to get a useful terminal. GUESS WHAT I'M DOING TONIGHT.

(I mean, I'm also making baba ganoush to Ottolenghi's recipe because Of Course I Am -- though I'm probably skipping making pineapple upside-down banana bread...)

Huzzah! The rest is fixable one you've achieved that shell. Hopefully it will be swift and less buggy from here on out.

I find it endearing, the way that humans expect a computer to behave deterministically.
