It used to be 20. But my wife claims I leave skidmarks on the sheets.

Now it’s 17.

What? What did the moderator of r/jailbait do now?

Moroccan oil is the main sponsor.

Hint: it’s not a Moroccan company.

It’s an easy mistake to make.

You’ll need to update to a point release sooner or later.

Are you the kind of person who lives to peel off the band-aid or pull it off in one go?

I prefer to peel mine. I’ve learned from pulling stitches by ripping it off.

On a more serious note: btrfs and timeshift are 👌. If there ever is a botched package, I’ll just roll back to this morning and keep working. It’ll probably be fixed by tomorrow.

Navidrome.

They’re sold as “Thomson streaming stick” in Europe.

Mine works well.

Well, gee.

Reducing the number of votes per phone number or credit card to 10 from 20? I guess we’ll just have to generate twice as many through the SaaS we use to vote.

I didn’t see the sponsors for this year, but I assume Moroccan oil is still the main one. So, of course they’ll do everything to favor Israel.

The Laestadian sect from my neck of the woods are big on forgiveness. If I had a quarter for every time this story has surfaced, I’d have a nice mixed bag of beers for the weekend. I might get alcohol poisoning if I had a quarter for all the stories that never surfaced.

imagine if Microsoft made it impossible to install apps outside of its windows app store, no would accept that, so why do we accept it for mobiles OS’s

I felt like Apple was going down that route. You have to jump through so many hoops to run programs that aren’t signed by one of their $99/y certificates.

The final drop for me when I was unable to remove Music.app. it’s on a shadowed read-only partition that rebooting updates write to. Extra many hoops to unlock the same to do changes to it (that might make stuff flaky).

My original Průša i3 mk0 has been going for 11 years now. It did receive a mk1 upgrade at some point when 3mm filament was getting scarce.

The IEC heatbed connector melted twice. But it’s been solid since I replaced it with an XT60.

Looks like I’m finally getting some metal fatigue in the heatbed temp sensor. I’m considering a new printer. The rest of the components are probably close to giving out after all these years.

I’ve been doing computer engineering long enough to do the field in the 80s and still live as comfortably as I do now, if not more so.

I also sail, with a license old enough that I have my own sextant and reduction tables. I’d assume those skills transfer hundreds of years back, but I wouldn’t like those survivability odds.

They already do this.

My banking app won’t let me use it if I have bitwarden from f-droid active. Play store is fine.

I used to shave my head with a razor when I was in the army. I’d give my ponytail a go with the scissors when I let it grow afterwards.

Both are easy and work.

My wife has requirements on my hairdo nowadays, so she gets to cut it. It’s getting too thin for ponytails and she doesn’t like baldy.

I’m not sure I would recommend programming on an actual C64. The keyboard is horrible, and crossplatform toolchains are so much more powerful. I do my development in a modern IDE, crossassemble with tass64, link and load with spindle. Single file programs I might pack with exomizer. The workflow is just so fast to build, pack and run in VICE.

VICE is a powerful emulator if you don’t want to spend money, or just dip your toes.

In the old days we’d write our stuff straight in machine monitors, but that takes a special kind of masochist to learn these days.

I do test on a real device with a turbo chameleon. I’d recomment getting that cartridge even withouth a C64, as it works great as a standalone C64 - great when travelling. And you can flash in machine code monitors if you want to try that out - at least for debugging.

I’ll be getting one of them new commodores from perifractic once I can make sure it doesn’t get delivered while I’m away on extended xmas leave. They have 64 ultimate internals which are on par with my turbo chameleon.

I use my dog’s name as password for my WiFi.

Ed&1e.78x!

We call him Eddie for short.

I’ve got my important data encrypted and backed up weekly to the cloud.

I used to have a 1985 sailboat where some previous owner had installed a safe. I guess cash was more important when cruising abroad 30+ years ago.

I have a caravan now. The caravan door is flimsy enough to tear open with your bare hands. I’d like to put something bolted to a cupboard wall just to lock up our electronic devices while we’re out and about.

I’m currently working in data automation.

My job is to take away as much of the monotonous work as possible from skilled workers. In many fields it would probably mean the end of many jobs. For s start-up with much more growth to do, it means that we can hit our goals while still hiring even more skilled workers.

It’s a weird age for my line of work.

We’ve been married 12 years now. She still doesn’t have a clue.

…and the home of the whopper.
