It’s the one time where I am glad to have a slightly unusual name.

Honestly it’s so nice. I ended up buying lastname.tld so now I will always have [email protected] even if I change provider because I can just point the domain to whatever provider I like.

IKEA is therapy

Leah has said some dumb stuff but I think this particular separation from the GNU project was the correct decision. The dogmatic no blobs approach wasn’t working, it is better to reduce/minimise the binary blobs and support more devices imo. Don’t agree with their previous actions though.

Not entirely the case anymore. Libreboot switched to a blob reduction policy in order to support more hardware. Hopefully this will bring things forward quite a bit over the next year.

Same. I just didn’t have any use for signal after SMS removal. Yes I know SMS is insecure but I was stuck. Either you use a separate secure app and magically convince everyone else to use it whilst falling back onto a separate SMS app anyway (for those who don’t use the encrypted app). Or alternatively you just have to use a mainstream app like Google Messenger with SMS plus RCS.

At least when signal supported it I could migrate family to signal and then our communication would be encrypted and they could still message everyone else over SMS. It meant a large portion of my messages were encrypted. After SMS removal everyone I had on signal just quit so there was no one to communicate with. Trying to get people to use multiple apps was like herding cats.

I’m pretty sure the haunted Victorian pencil that is Jacob Rees-Mogg said that the UK not having universal USB-C was a “Brexit benefit”. God help us all.

AMD has been putting a lot of L3 cache on their consumer CPUs. The 5800X3D has 96mb of L3 cache.

No idea how I did it, all I remember is waking up very confused. It was an air mattress that didn’t inflate properly and I had a habit of sleeping on the edge which I’m guessing is how I did it?

Admittedly it was a long time ago but it was either that you couldn’t remove the sheet or it was zipped on. It was an air bed.

Honestly as a kid I thought I had opened a wormhole in my bedroom. I was sleeping on the floor on an inflatable mattress which had an attached bedsheet that didn’t come off. During the night I turned on my side, flipped the bed, it hooked onto the wardrobe door handle and I was suspended upside down diagonally.

I’m convinced bedding defies physics at this point.

Truly the darkest timeline.

10 years ago if someone had told me that in the future the tantrums of a billionaire petulant manchild would decide what features are available in your already paid for car I wouldn’t have believed them.

It’s okay if it’s after 8am

Cursed welding

Took me an embarrassing amount of time.

I’m not sure that’s OSHA compliant…

Well he’s not exactly known for taking warranted criticism well…
