Flying to Melbourne, and last moment realised it would be nicer to have slides
laptop open with an airplane window behind it. LibreOffice is open with an empty presentation titled "reversing Up for fun and no profit :)"

I accidentally went too far with a joke today, decompiled Svakom controller app and now we have a rich Discord presence for my Svakom Emma Neo 2 wand, that looks completely innocent until you know what it is 😅😅😅 Étude is the pattern, p-ffff is how strong it is, and con/senza fuoco is heating on/off

today I accidentally learned that `top` isn't really archaic, and it actually fits my needs better than htop, btop or anything else. I didn't know it had 256 colours, multiple windows/tabs, forest view, highlights, filtering, accessible help, custom inspect functionality, and god knows what else.
a screenshot of the `top` utility with 4 sections, all using different colours, columns and sorting. topmost one is showing the forest view. it's barely configured yet as the bottom 3 windows aren't configured to my needs yet, they just look pretty for the demo for now.

An unexpected benefit of using #PaperWM (or other scrollers for that matter) is that you can adjust the height of everything simultaneously. So now I have a toggle for when cats decide to visit me 😅😅😅 #GNOME #cats #linux
50 inch 4k monitor with a cat in front of it, all windows are neatly arranged right above cat's earscode for the paperwm-kitty-space script

Accidentally ended up at Uniqlo's event about their bratops, and they are giving away one for a social media post:) Normally I wouldn't do it, but I actually already have like 3 of those bratops and they are really great, so I don't mind giving them a bit of publicity for it :)

a screenshot of bluesky mobile app with the search "nix" in the latest posts. image shows 7 consecutive posts within an hour that have the word "nix" and are unrelated to nix the package manager

Accidentally ended up catching up Melbourne's pride (midsumma) party
Victoria's pride street party photo. Crowd of queer people, rainbow footpath, an inflated rainbow and a screen with a stream of the scene is seen in the distance

I guess I did take it a bit personally, I am a bit too stressed out lately with all the anti-trans nazi stuff and other things. I just genuinely like the nixos-rebuild switch as a standard workflow and I don't want the community to label it as bad practise, I don't think it is.
nixos-rebuild switch is a usability sweet spot that does *exactly* what I want and expect to happen on my system. non-interactive background programs ("services") are restarted when they can be, interactive foreground programs keep running, but will be transparently updated as soon as I deem it convenient to quit their old versions without having to interrupt the whole workflow with something like a reboot, my last working generation is always there should there be any hardware issues, I will see any service startup issues quickly and in an otherwise usable system rather than on next boot, a random power outage won't cause an unintended downgrade, and most importantly it's just so much faster to iterate. I like my NixOS being as flexible and quick to update as a dynamic language with a repl, with ability to patch things at runtime, and I despise the whole "wait for it to compile and restart the whole thing, then try to get it back to what you were doing". Maybe my ADHD impulsivity is to blame.

Вот в мире пиздец, а я котлеток с макарошками навертела :)
Тарелка на которой макароны и котлеты. За ней вторая тарелка на которой много котлет

It's due avian influenza

We totally did buy "matching" pikachu and mimikyu hats and it's totally not because I wanted them as an ironic comment on me being trans 😅😅😅
