a great moment with a barista.

Hahaha. Good one. Literally a great reason to buy independent.

Her hair is fantastic.

I get a bit frustrated, but also realise the ridiculousness of wanting to get it over with so I can go back to my lego…

I got the impression the first half is Watts proper and the second half is ai to put a modern spin on it. I didn’t hate it tbh. Provoked emotion from me as it really hits the nail.

Yeah, if you tried to hold a cat like that they would not be impressed.

also asked AI and it said that by default Alpine uses dropbear for ssh instead of openssh and the latter could be more strict when it comes to permissions. I’m not so familiar with the workings of ssh

I’d stick to Raspbian if you’re struggling.

I’m not buying ‘they need data cos they offer more products’. The companies have made different choices in how they build their software.

Don’t collect data and there’s nothing to handover https://mullvad.net/en/blog/mullvad-vpn-was-subject-to-a-search-warrant-customer-data-not-compromised

I find this a bit misleasing, especially when (in the uk) electricity is only ~50% renewables apparently.

https://www.zemo.org.uk/assets/workingdocuments/MC-P-11-15a Lifecycle emissions report.pdf

For example, a typical medium sized family car will create around 24 tonnes of CO2 during its life cycle, while an electric vehicle (EV) will produce around 18 tonnes over its life. For a battery EV, 46% of its total carbon footprint is generated at the factory.

So EVs are a small improvement. Since I enjoy older cars and my privacy a lot more, I’m gonna keep enjoying them and not let manafacturers ram EVs down my throat, especially when a lot of them are hideous SUVs.

Stoned turtle.

Attempt to avoid, fail to avoid, blurt out “heyhowareyouyeahgoodthankshowareyou”, walk away and think about that interaction for the rest of the day.

I read up a little about why people dislike systemD

I feel like this isn’t the right way to research something. Is there any reasons it doesn’t work for your needs?

But then it wouldn’t be funny. I don’t think this is meant to be taken too literally.

Badly. And I don’t look at news at all. I’m constantly back and forth ignoring it and wanting to do something. On one hand it’s a war on the other side if the world, it doesn’t directly impact me. On the other my government are actively involved and it’s 2025, everyone is connected. I think maybe I can just donate, but that’s a massive rabbit hole because apparently aid isn’t getting through, and all the usual questions about charities and where my money is going. Then I think I’ll give directly to families through GoFundMe or something, then I think how do I know they’re real and not rich con artists sat in America or somewhere. Then I get overwhelmed and ignore it all. Then my goverment does something stupid again and the cycle begins again.

If you’re genuinely interested then fair enough. Just saying it’s not the only option, as a lot of people seem to think these days, and for personal projects I think it’s bonkers.

Don’t use kubernetes.

Does a smoking Father cause neurodivergence in offspring, or does an undiagnosed Father become fixated on smoking?..

Creates endless pain.

Must be a good store if you stay there half the year

Learn html and CSS then create a simple static website. It’s a lot easier than it sounds, Mozilla has great documentation.
