Ohhh, this may finally make me switch from Gnome to KDE

Which is also fine. Then you haven’t bought anything that they break after the fact. They just cancel all subscriptions.

Also Far Cry Primal

Between 5 and 7, depending on when the kid wakes up. I’m a night owl and struggle to go to bed on time.

…no? They are allowed to do that. Chat Control was about making it a requirement for all communication software, breaking encryption in the process.

Edit: scratch that. I read the article again…

If firefox dies before a viable alternative exists then the Chrome lock-in won’t ever be broken.

My cats used to sleep on the bed. But one of them has a tendency to go into the hallway and meow loudly at nothing. So, since we had a kid they had to stay downstairs in the living room. I will occasionally “forget” to close the door downstairs though 😄

I have a HP microserver running Debian and Docker. But it runs far more than just HA. It runs all my self hosted stuff except for my pihole.

This week I finished “Darkside Detective: A Fumble in the Dark” (EGS freebie) and launched my first rocket in “Factorio”. Both are great games.

For Darkside Detectives, the site nicegamehints.com was really useful. It contains a lot of hints for games that help you without spoilering stuff for you. Great if you get really stuck.

Factorio was great too. I will definitely be playing more of it, but I’m taking a break to prevent burning myself out. I finished with every research unlocked and a Spidertron built. I used zero imported blueprints. But my factory was structured in such a way that it was impossible to grow much further without tearing most of it down (scaling up oil is hard!).

For now I’m playing “Far Cry: Primal” which I had in my backlog for some time. The first few hours have been fun but installing almost made me refund it. Ubisoft Connect is horrible and the service wouldn’t sent me the confirmation mail I needed. And after that the game bugged out on my high DPI display, until I figured out how to change display setting without a mouse. I’ll think twice (nay, thrice!) about buying a Ubisoft game in the future.

I got my new gaming laptop during black friday sales, a few weeks before the AIpocalypse started. The exact laptop I got then is now 400 euro more!

I really like Gnumeric. It can handle some large sheets and complex cases better than LibreOfficr Calc. But Calc is my daily driver.

No shit. My wife had to travel with DB recently. The delays were so bad that she had to spend the night in a hotel. At least DB comped the hotel.

Do you know “Jet Lag: The Game”? They play travel games. DB’s utterly terrible performance is a running theme anytime they play in Europe.

Still on crackfactorio. I just researched the spidertron and I am close to launching the rocket. I’m loving it!

I have one to power my CPAP when I’m at a multi day festival. Those camp grounds don’t have power. So, a literal life saver!

Not a TV show but a TV movie, “Die Welle” was fantastic.

Or maybe “Baantjer”, a pretty fun crime show. Not spectacular, but very Dutch.
