They planted two plum trees and one cherry tree. I picked so many plums this year. Still have a bunch on the freezer ready to go in pies. Made two batches of slivovice moonshine back in the fall just so they wouldn’t go to waste.

If you like what you we in the shadows, to might also enjoy “our flag means death”.

Created by and starring Waititi. Based on the true story of the gentleman pirate.

Is Tesla boomer slang for any EV?

Like how my mother bought one of them Nokia iPhones?

I’m no connoisseur, but I just want the same feel as I had back in the 90s. No terminal emulator, straight up tty with crisp VGA ROM fonts at some hacky SuperVGA resolution. Before the virtual framebuffer that basically every computer today uses for tty.

Konsole, gnome-terminal and ghostty can all be made to feel right to me. I’m giving ghostty a spin, and I like how it supports custom shaders so I can make it feel even more like home.

Sweet! Tempo is the best subsonic client I’ve found for Android. Hoping to use it for a long time.

It’s a protocol for hosting music libraries.

Think of it like your personal Spotify backend.

I’m running navidrome to serve music to tempo on my devices.

Sure, it performed “fine”.

But it was sluggish compared to the VGA ttys we were used to.

Now, if we can have something as snappy and at the same time as pretty as Eterm… 👌

And not in a good way

I remember when I bought my iPhone 3GS back in the day.

The only option was to buy it carrier locked on a one or two year plan in my country. Of course it was exclusive to a carrier that wasn’t my choice of carrier.

I signed up, put it in a drawer and waited for the imminent jailbreak and unlocked modem firmware. It dropped two weeks later. After that one year of payments they unlocked it through official means.

Pants and shoes I try and buy in-store.

I’ve got my go-to brands for shirts and underwear that I know fit well, so I usually just buy a shitload when my old ones are worn out.

Outerwear is 50/50%.

Most online retailers will let you try and return goods. In the EU you can return anything bought online within 2 weeks, no questions asked (by law).

A lot of fast fashion stores might just burn returns, others might sell them at an outlet. And it cuts into they already thin margins. I try to avoid returns.

Not quite Schrödinger’s cat, but in programming we have Heisenbugs named after Schrödinger’s peer.

It’s when you have a bug/crash that is not reproducible when debugging it. Might be that you’re reading some memory that you’re not supposed to, and the debugger just sets it up differently. Maybe you have a race condition that just never happens with the debugger attached.

Is it really practical in 2024? I used pine as my sole e-mail client for many years.

In the last 15 years it feels like every mail expects the client to be able to render html, with no real fallback for text-only. Even when my client only blocks remote images some mail can be quite hard to decipher.

Company handbook even requires me to have a html signature with a picture of the company logo… before that I’ve militantly only sent text-only e-mail.

Knew several as I was wrapping up uni. Had lots of fun partying and doing local trips with them.

I married one and moved to her home country for a few years. Now we live together in a third country.

All I see is refitting sailboats and retro video game history.

Daisy Ridley. You’ve seen her in star wars.

Just about to go to bed with 2h51min screen time.

Baby won’t nap unless she’s in the stroller, so a lot of that is Pokémon Go while trying to get baby to go down for a nap.

I haven’t used one as a tty, but my father had a typewriter like that.

He’d feed in forms for invoicing and software would have the typewriter fill in values in the right fields of that form.

I’ve had vt220/320/520 terminals back in the day. Been itching to source one now that I have a forever home to store crap like that, but they’re becoming quite rare and expensive.

Might’ve been a while since you tried. There’s quite a few options now. zstd is real nice and fast.

Envycontrol is simple and works well.

Akshually, skateboarding was invented by a certain Marty McFly in 1955.
