Struggling to write #weeknotes
recently so let's try a more immediate form. This week:

- 30k-step walk in Brontë country
- 17 hour trip back. Travelodge reception, back seat of a truck, new words with an old friend
- Delivered summary of carbon footprint work, nice
- Various small and emergency tasks
- Thermal pasted laptop
- Watched The Electric State. Meh.
- Playing Hotel Dusk: Room 215 on the DS
- Trying out downloading videos up watch offline instead of streaming
- Decent badminton

@vicorva Been thinking in terms of having "healing time" a lot more recently and it feels good. Even if nothing specific is broken.

Palindromic 2FA code: 2 shots, one from the wrong side of the glass to cure hiccups.

What's the aftermarket for hard drives like - are refurbished and second hand SSD drives worth the risk?

Wow, github action suppy chain attack based on a compromised, re-pointed version number.

Check yourself if you're reliant on tj-actions/changed-files.

Laptop seems a lot happier today. Might have been disabling gnome's tracker daemon which it didn't like yesterday, but either way, seems like a good opportunity to redo some thermal paste and have a good tab clearout.

No syncthing for the Wii U? This is ridiculous.

Morning and #tzag all, and a very joyous spring #equinox to everyone and everything out there.

Whether you're a small restaurant or not you have to ensure that you're not stealing your ingredients. So why is this any different?

What about the 1-2 person creative startups? Who is protecting their works in a society that devalues artists so much that "starving artist" is an expectation?

@ParadeGrotesque @jcalpickard Cheers. I hope some thermal paste will tide things over in the very short term, but does feel like time to start looking at these two more seriously. May come down to performance-per-weight...

OK, definitely feel like I'm nursing this laptop through today carefully.

What are the good 2025 options for a Linux-friendly, lightweight, UK-supported laptop for general use and dev work?

The great fish, wider than any ocean, rolls over on its back and somewhere a single stone rattles on the beach.

Just enough time to make a cuppa for the new Pebble announcement...

Been watching this develop over the months and fantastic to see it's nearly here... Parenting as micro-games? Bundle of Joy looking very sweet:

Work is the problem

Hard workers are destroying our environment

We celebrate the metrics of death.

GDP is a force of destruction.

One of the greatest forms of resistance is slowing down and slowing the system down.

@jcalpickard Assuming you've seen this already? https://calculatingempires.net/

Curation is a form of language too.

Man, scam emails are getting so lazy these days.
