   All that work I did getting this little pi 3 to sync some text files to my gopher host, all useless now. 😭
   None of it works now.
   Somehow, PasswordAuthentication no
   made ethernet not work, and putting it back didn't make it work again. Not an iota of an understanding of how this is even possible. At worst, that option could break ssh. How the actual fuck is ethernet dead?! It's got a link light, no IP.

     Writing another sd card. I suppose I should see if coincidentally, the hardware died at that exact moment. I seriously doubt it, but hey, why not, right?

     I hate everything right now! I hate it all!
     It took HOURS to get that slow ass fucking pi to update and install the couple little pieces of software I needed on it! FUCKING HOURS!
     At least I was smart enough to back up my scripts.

     Coffee made brain work better. I write a fresh Pi OS lite card, and copied my scripts and the binaries to it. That should work.
     If there's barely anything on it, copying that barely on to a fresh one is the way to go.

     I still need to see if it runs on time by itself, but aside from that, copying the scripts and binaries to a fresh Pi OS Lite card worked nearly flawlessly (a few perm issues to correct). Ah, only one thing appears to have not worked - I didn't realize the program I was using depended on another that I would have needed to copy. It does appear to be in the repository this time

     Ok. Need to stop reacting to things when no coffee and dehydrated. lol. They don't call it disregulation for nuthin!

     "Low voltage detected"
     Yes, pi. I know. It's less than 100k volts, and therefor you'll whine it's low. *eye roll*
