I like trains, technology (not consumer tech, but like, makers/hackers or Linux / CS), and queer stuff

Live in 🇦🇺, but want to move to Germany in 2026. Native German speakers may correct my German writing

so, the new economy is going to be based on new technology requiring everyone to have devices to use the technology, devices they can no longer afford because the new technology is using all of the components and also took their job

I've got an inspection by the property manager today.

I guess I'll have to make Haj Jr dress a bit more modestly

Anyone got a spare half a million dollars?

Hot sweet milky beverages are highly rated. And they have earned it

The idea of an old man calling a windmill a "looser" is meant to be funny

Honestly, there have been a lot of times in the last year, hell, the last month, where I want to retreat from the world

Really I should just stop paying attention to the USA to protect my mental health.

But the USA is SO LOUD. How do I block it out?

(no offence to the people, it's the country)

The only half decent way to have windows on your pc.

Before you start shaming me, I need this to practice my hacking skills on the most hackable OS ever created.

You may think, "if it's so hackable, then no one uses this, right?".
Well, that's the craziest part...

I feel seen 😊

I managed to get my screen freezing issue to happen when I was doing nothing else meaningful.
Soooo if something happened in the background to cause this, the systemd logfile should show it right?

Nope. Only recorded activity if me when I manually kill the pc

And what does he do?
Play some cutting edge game?
Play a famously jank game to see if my memory abundance can make it playable?
Run some cool simulation/computation to stress the hardware?

Nah, I play a game from my childhood that started development targeting Win3.1, but was published for Win95

My heart goes out to everyone trying to build PCs these days.

For shits & giggles I decided to see how much the RAM in my computer (that I built in late 2024) would be worth today.

Suddenly it's not so funny when I realise I could sell my PC and make a considerable profit 😿

In the past 48 hours i've learnt more about looks-maxxing, lookism, and Clavicular than anyone should ever have to learn

I did not, in fact, live.

I'm sick again. This time the throat is a little less sore (but still pretty sore). But now I've unlocked the coughing expansion pack 😷 And the back/neck aches got a buff too

I LIVED!

(still got a little soreness in the throat, but definitely on the mend)
I had a look at my throat today. It's real gnarly: deep rich red, uvula swollen, and white marks that look like ulcers.

I'm gonna find a doctor, any doctor, tomorrow to have a look 😔
So, i'm sick.

My throat feels like it's on fire. Even swallowing is painful. So painful that I woke up at 3am, and ended up taking a throat lozenge before I could get back to sleep

A day later than I planned, but me and Shork are getting ready to see Zootopia 2

I hope it's as fun as the first one.

Will be interesting to see what they do for plot compared to the first one. As analogy for racial politics it was ... confusing
