I'm giving a talk at a meetup on Thursday and the building is called The Bower, and ngl I'm a little disappointed in how unromantic the building is
A not entirely generic glass and steel tower in London. A Bower was typically a romantic little folly in a rich man's grounds, often a shady grove of trees with seating.

They mostly won't try to sell you anything but there's a good chance you can get a sticker of a polar bear snowboarding

Something I should've checked on before I moved is whether UK to EU power strips exist

I have to say that this is my favorite part of postmaster.c so far
A code comment that reads "We don't know anything about this child process. That's highly unexpected, as we do track all the child processes that we fork."

A text bubble reading "the temptation to reply is high... Mostly because I'm being accused of building this nonsense in rust 🤣". The response from or is "I can post an anonymous screen cap of that [message] if you like, to clear your good name 😂"

Germans are hilarious when they want to be is my #1 takeaway from living in this country
A reddit post in r/Berlin titled "what does it mean?" A picture of some graffiti reading "S1€" is accompanied by the body text "I saw this the last few days all over Friedrichshain and I've been wondering ever since the question from the title" A response from reddit user Sooperooser reading "I think it means S1€ but I am not sure because there is a lot of artistic expression going on." The post has 277 upvotes.

Hi everyone, I need you all to join me in having A Moment for the Greek yogurt with walnuts & honey I'm eating at this wine bar. It's literally so thick I could chew it. I'm in heaven

"you'll figure it out"

Time to see if this'll let me download a BIOS update now

For the sake of argument I'd like the court to know that this mofo gave me the BIOS over displayport via the GPU AND a hardware load screen!!! I took a video!! Please note the displayport cable!! 🥲🥲🥲

Graphics via motherboard HDMI is a go.. but it DID detect the video card earlier because it served me the bios screen.

Also apparently wifi isn't working, which might also be a problem

Ah, computers!

Please no I rebuilt a whole computer to avoid this light

Also it was giving me BIOS before! You have a video card I just know it 😭

We have liftoff but also a DRAM light and no windows boot (yet) 😮‍💨

I was not expecting the comparatively soft glow of the be quiet fans and CPU block to be so pretty compared to the more vibrant Corsair RAM lights

Finally, it's all basically done 🫠

Time to plug it in to see if Windows behaves after the AMD to Intel changeover
