I feel like that “running errands” might include new furniture and repainting.

And I thought otter was referring to the specie of their fursona.

Oh well.

I don’t give a shit.

“I donated money to them so I am going to use it.”

Although not much, just 20 EUR. Not sure how much the bundled Windows license costs, but surely Microsoft has other ways to earn from spyware.

I am not alone!

At first I installed Arch because I got an Arch sticker, and if I put it on my laptop that felt like the only appropriate solution.

Arch. After every update I check what broke. And then discover things I forgot to check.

I am still not sure if it’s already safe to upgrade VirtualBox and iio-sensor-proxy, but I am too lazy to just downgrade them yet again.

So I just…

IgnorePkg   = iio-sensor-proxy # Issues in Wayland after suspend
IgnorePkg   = virtualbox virtualbox-host-modules-lts virtualbox-host-dkms virtualbox-guest-iso # Segfault in 7.2.x, reverted to 7.1.8 - see sys-management-log.txt entry 2025-08-29

If you’re curious about the log entries:

2025-07-06:
        downgraded iio-sensor-proxy to 3.6-1 as 3.7 caused issues after suspending
        added iio-sensor-proxy to IgnorePkg in /etc/pacman.conf

2025-08-29:
        downgraded virtualbox packages to 7.1.8 as 7.2.x was broken (segfault)
        installed linux-lts-headers as the downgraded virtualbox suddenly wanted that
        removed and reinstalled related packages a couple of times (virtualbox-host-modules-lts, virtualbox-host-modules-arch, virtualbox-host-dkms), as well as switching between linux-lts and linux. Hopefully that didn't create any brand new funny business.
        I want to die
        added IgnorePkg   = virtualbox virtualbox-host-modules-lts virtualbox-host-dkms virtualbox-guest-iso to /etc/pacman.conf

I recommend writing some documentation about your system. My Manjaro install became a total unknown mess after a while. I know I had to create some symlinks at some point to fix something, something something custom “XDG_CONFIG_HOME” dir with separate theme to un-break Cisco Packet Tracer on dark theme, edited startup script for Packet Tracer.
On one Ubuntu VM I edited a bunch of config files that I didn’t remember so it was just don’t touch it while it works.

But hey, I feel better after knowing that during high school our internet was down for weeks because something broke on main proxy server and nobody had documentation for the 2 decades old backup server, including the password, so it just ended up running in a “don’t touch it” mode, except that it also limited download speed on unknown PCs (based on MAC) to something like 32Kbps, which after 20 years meant nearly any PC so the solution was to copy MACs from basically ewaste.

Anyway… write documentation for what you do.

Just tried searching “clippy rule 34”. Plenty of results.

You drink diluted piss. Think about it.

Nah, Gg0d. Double gee oh dee byatch!

Hard water should wash soap off easily

That is what I am saying. Soap yes. shower gel and shampoo no.

And? We have an adjustable one, it cost €6 at Lidl.

Depends on water though. I find it impossible to fully wash off shampoo or shower gel with hard water, but bar soap will wash off easily and fully.
I don’t know what’s really going on there though.

Well, seems like the email may find you a well.

I’ll drop a knee-breaking one:

I was born in 2006.

I’ve been thinking about GL.iNet routers. They have OpenWRT-based firmware, and it seems typically can also run vanilla OpenWRT.

Just found them on proxysto.re when looking at physical Mullvad vouchers, and regretting getting that on Amazon for (slightly) more money and with slower shipping.

“Humanity eliminated!”

Meanwhile Gen X and New Zealand:

I was looking to get one, but a lot seem to be mono only. Otherwise Retekess TR606 looked interesting, even if just mostly as a toy.
