Haiku in UTM on apple silicon - works. and there was much grinning throughout the land:-) Now, can i get Gobe and Civ CTP running lol having beos working again is it's own use case!
Too busy to curate my SBCs so they are in storage and i've spun up useful debians in UTM on a apple silicone mini - compiled lagrange in less than 40 secs and won't brick the SD card at some random time:-)
so, Jeff Beck playlist today.
so, how many times do we need to watch Tenet to grok it?
the peripheral season 1 excellent i think - i've just finished re-reading the sprawl trilogy so i think i will continue re-reading the bridge books then just keep going :-)
took an offer for some aviation instruction contract work:-) so been off station for a week working away from home: mi laboras multe:-)
my fridge is keeping my cabin heated - fridge sides are 27C cabin 21C oat 17C - heater (set for 18C) did not come on overnight:-)
so 2 x 400w pv panels connected eventually - cloudy, no visible sun, raining of course: generating 60 to100w :-) frame still alpha stage, of course.
my wee cabin running on battery power only:-) Chg contrl connectced to 24V 400ah battery bank connected to 3000W inverter then extension lead to cabin - drawing 55watts lol hopfully tomorrow I'll get the PV panels connected to Chg contrl?
keyboard change time: dvorak layout on iphone and new filco minila-r convertible will **all** the dip and keycap options used lol learning new esc, backspace, and del key positions, the rest remain the same - i long time dvorak user.
flashback to BeOS days: just cloned rpi sd to emmc and put in a rpi4-4GB - up and ran. eeprom needed update obviously but apart from that cloned:_)
so day 3 Cvd and able to do a little again as opposed to dozing all day - ran up Pi3B, ioaudio dac+, emmc with sd adaptor, armbian headless, mpv - first up on shuffle 4NB what's up :-)
learning to love awk:-) Reading The AWK Programming Language; well written, easy to read, and understand:-)
Recently very much taken with Welsh Prog-rock group Magenta - Gluttony from Seven, a veritable feast of prog themes:-)
so after one day of buliding labouring my fingerprints won't unlock anything - so much for one method biometrics :-)
some of us may be actioning gemini://perplexing.space/2022/securing-gemini-servers.gmi - very useful post. some of us are having issues - for agate ProtectHome=read-only works:-) and RestrictAddressFamilies=AF_INET AF_INET6 works - might help others:-)
views on culture in gemini for using #hashtags as topic hints in post, logs, etc? use or not? any views helpful to me
learning to use a sewing machine - so really learning how to measure, cut, and iron, iron, and did i say iron, and pin, fabric lol. it seems that preparation is the key and that mm do in fact matter.
Been backpacking/lightweight hiking camping for the first time in my life - i am very unimpressed with uk 3/4/G coverage: AONB = AOPR (area of outstandingly poor reception). absence of village shops/pubs complicated water/food resupply - i now have a water filter.
Still re-reading culture novels - Surface Detail finished... again - Demeisen and Lededeje the stars i think. Hydrogen Sonata next.
smooth, heavy fuel: gemini://gemini.mingmengtou.org/2021-06-29-smoothie-by-neil.gmi
so having worked in gnome for a few hours i understand why i didn't like gnome - back to the safety of xubuntu!
So stewed dried Apricots in MW - soak 3hrs, 2 min @ 100%, 9 min @ 40%, added cloves for final 3 min. 750Watt.
talking is good - tks to figbert i found iina and that got me thinking about mpv - both understand shuffle, and do what they say on the tin. Fixed Linux box -> Ruark MR1Mk2 by reducing output to -6db. grinning!
trivia - but i think that Excession 1-II has to be one of the most interesting chapters of the genre - go Sisela Ytheleus go! reading Excession for the nth time - full culture re-read.
playing with croc - mainly works - own relay working:-)
I think I'm starting to Rust!
discoverd and using aerc for email - i think it works well - easy install and config, and of course vim everywhere lol
2 printers running - ramp for disabled access - tpu wrist loop for garmin wrist strap wot broke
trying to catch up with posts - squatting desk anyone?
running capsules with agate on a pi3B+ and pi0w for some weeks now - stable
