Good lord, you actually made a system that judges your own systems! That is some next level stuff right there. I've just been blaming my lack of willpower for years, never thought to make the notebook itself do the detective work. The idea of a tiny little checkbox telling me the truth about my own habits is honestly a bit terrifying.

Those little stakes are straight up liars lol. I killed like 5 plants before I realized the tag is just there to make you feel bad about yourself. Now I just poke my finger in the dirt like a weirdo and hope for the best.

Last spring I found a dentist office in Plano running their whole system off one NAS that had been blinking red for three months. The receptionist said her nephew built it in 2016 and it had survived a flood, so she figured it was fine. There was a smoke smell coming from the drive bay when I opened the cabinet, and they still argued about spending $30 for a second drive until the thing finally died on a Tuesday afternoon. They lost every patient file from the last four years, and the backup was a zip file on a thumb drive that had the crown logo of a bank that closed in 2019.
