Google news is getting worse by the day.
Almost every link they are showing is to a pay-walled site now.
Time to get that one out of my routine, it's wasting my time.

And still never ever even bothered activating this Windows VM, just ignoring the "Activate Windows" text like a pro. 👍

I was messing a bit with the GPU driver yesterday...
Today I was troubleshooting why Youtube stopped working, undoing all changes didn't help; installing latest drivers didn't help; reboot didn't help.
Turns out Youtube changed something and Ghostery just didn't like it. 🤣

No need to update the firmware.
Not getting slower over time.
Doesn't run out of batteries.
Simple design, easy to repair, schematics available.
Don't need a Google or Apple account.
Without case, if you drop it you don't break it.
Plug and play.
And retro design...
I think we have a winner here. 👍

Don't make me regret changing the root passwords on all the nodes, after 15 years of using a 2 character password It's time to use a more complex one that is easier to forget. 🤣

Dutch number broken English: "Hello Stephan, do you have little time?"
Me: "Only if you speak Dutch"
Scammer: "I don't speak Dutch"
Me: "Then why are you spoofing a Dutch mobile number?"
Scammer: "I'm not"
Me: "Fine, I'll just call you back then on this number."
* Scammer hangs up the phone *

Just took a walk in this heat to the city I was born in...
Nothing much seems to have changed there.
But it took a less then a 15 minute walk to get to the supermarket in another city. 👍

One of our FreeBSD nodes just forgot it had a raid controller for some reason.
A reboot fixed the issue.
Oh well, they are running for more then 6 years now so crashing once in ~6 years isn't that bad I guess.
Also redundancy is tested and worked. 👍

My dad just blocked me in Telegram because I called out his new flat earth bullshit.
They also started investing in crypto crap.
Now I'll have to change the my damn locks in my house, not trusting anybody that crazy with my keys.
