Inertia is a powerful thing and I’m still mostly on Twitter but .. figuring that it might be time to try and establish some sort of presence here as well in addition to just parking a name.
So, here I am. Estonian, Ukraine supporter, Doctor Who fan, Pokemon Go player, middle-aged and tired.

Kaks sõeluuringut + vereproov + muud mured ühe käiguga tehtud. Ei olnud üldse mõnus tunnike, jubedalt läbiväntsutatud tunne nüüd. 😬 Aga vähemalt oli kogu personal väga lahke ja sõbralik ja kohustused selleks korraks täidetud. 🤞

can someone please convince me that I do NOT need a new ereader. (I actually really don’t. I just get a regular itch to just have something .. new. must resist. again. and again. and again.)
also why is it that the less I earn, the more I want to spend money on things I do not need.

A Russian drone strike hit a kindergarten in Kharkiv following a night of heavy attacks. One person was killed, seven injured. All children were evacuated and are now in shelters, many showing acute stress reactions, Zelensky said. These bandits and terrorists can only be stopped by force.

OTD in 1951 *2nd* wave of Operation Osen's deportations began. Over 16000 Lithuanians were forcibly sent to Siberia as USSR continued to liberate them from fascism & also their freedom 6 years after WW2 ended.

Ostsin endale uue klaviatuuri - vana teenis mind ausalt umbes 24 aastat (!), aga E-tähe klahv väsis lõpuks ära. Uuega harjumine võtab ilmselt nüüd tükk aega, kõik tähed on kuidagi vale koha peal natuke ja nihkes. Mõlemad klaviatuurid igasuguste lisaklahvidega, nii et mitte standardsed.

Horrifying images coming out of Ukraine's capital, Kyiv, this morning after a massive Russian drone and missile attack overnight.
As Syrians, we stand in solidarity with the Ukrainian nation, which is under terrorist attack.
Targeting residential neighborhoods is a war crime.

After the August 2008 war, Russia bulldozed dozens of villages in occupied regions of South Ossetia (Tskhinvali, Georgia) to ensure there could be no return
190,000 were displaced, ancestral villages erased totally
Looked just like this
If we stopped Russia then, it would be a different world

Today's violation of Estonia's airspace by Russian military aircraft is an extremely dangerous provocation.
This marks the third such violation of EU airspace in days and further escalates tensions in the region.

Sügis on muidu tore, aga ärkasin kurguvaluga, kodus on maru külm ja rõske/niiske (kes teab, millal kütma hakatakse, enamasti meil oktoobris alles) ja pea valutab. Peab vist hakkama ööseks rõduust kinni panema, aga siis jälle pole piisavalt värsket õhku.

Decided to go ahead and cancel Disney+.
I had an annual subscription that only last renewed in July, so I still have until next July to watch stuff if I find anything else of interest (not watching would be giving them my money for nothing!) but at least it won’t auto-renew any more.

So I was bored and found an old (2011) laptop today, which still turned on (battery’s completely gone but works when plugged in) and decided to change it from the Windows 7 it had to Linux - picked Mint as it sounded newbie-friendly enough. Should be OK for simple web browsing etc.

Spent most of yesterday googling stuff and making every backup imaginable (including system image and recovery drive), and after a few extremely nerve-wracking hours today, I now have a computer that is fully Windows 11 ready AND has a brand new internal 4 TB storage HDD installed & ready to use.

Win for today: while tidying some stuff, randomly found a replacement printer toner cartridge I’d bought in 2021 (receipt was inside the box) and completely forgotten about. Replaced the cartridge today in the printer (bought in 2004!) and it still all works beautifully.

1/ Ryazan has become the latest Russian region to introduce bounties for citizens who find recruits to join the Russian army. The initiative has raised concerns that slaves and vulnerable people will be 'sold' to the army for profit, as has already happened in some cases. ⬇️
