  70. Mother&apos;s friend jokingly said that I should come to the event with them, but luckily that didn&apos;t go anywhere.
  71. Then they headed off to the event, leaving me mostly with the day to myself.
  72. I hoped to catch up on a few things, but I ended up mostly just taking the day off.

  75. It seems that there is a website hosted at an <abbr title="Internet Protocol">IP</abbr> address, claiming that the &quot;domain&quot; <a href="https://54.68.227.239/">227.239</a> is somehow for sale.
  76. When I eventually have clearnet access back and am no longer exiled to onion space by my <abbr title="Internet service provider">ISP</abbr>, I should set up a similar gag site at my own <abbr title="Internet Protocol">IP</abbr> address.
  77. </p>

  79. <a href="https://ronsor.net/">Ronsor</a> added mirroring instructions to his website, but the website is proprietary.
  80. I hadn&apos;t even thought about this yet when he mentioned mirroring yesterday.
  81. I will not be setting up a mirror after all.
  82. </p>

  84. I did a little work on this website&apos;s <abbr title="Cascading Style Sheets">CSS</abbr>.
  85. I didn&apos;t do anything major, but I did counteract a bit of the browser default <abbr title="Cascading Style Sheets">CSS</abbr> nullification that I had set up before.
  86. I haven&apos;t finished normalization of styles though, so browser-specific default styles are still partially in effect.
  87. At some point, I&apos;ll need to finish that work and explicitly set every property, aside from the text size.
  88. For accessibility reasons, text size should be allowed to be defined by the browser.
  89. That way, the user can specify a decent size for their own vision needs in their Web browser settings.

  92. For some reason, Cyrus&apos; school is insisting that he fill out the <abbr title="Free Application for Federal Student Aid">FAFSA</abbr>; if he doesn&apos;t, he doesn&apos;t get to graduate.
  93. However, the <abbr title="Free Application for Federal Student Aid">FAFSA</abbr> requires information from our mother.
  94. At first, she got pissed off and said that she wouldn&apos;t help him, whhich meant that he wouldn&apos;t graduate unless he could somehow get his school to drop the requirement.
  95. However, she later said that she didn&apos;t have the option to help him, as the <abbr title="Free Application for Federal Student Aid">FAFSA</abbr> requires her tax information and she hasn&apos;t filed her taxes yet.
  96. He&apos;s still probably going to have to talk to his school about this, but at least she isn&apos;t just being vandictive as she made it out like at first.
