And just like that, I am in Poland again. I had a very full day yesterday, including a birthday party and finishing Tomb of Annihilation with my D&D friends, then basically no sleep, then a somewhat long trip during which I was only half awake. And now I am here.

Which web browser should I use? I am using Duckduckgo on Windows and Android, and Firefox on Linux, but I am not happy with either. I am not a fan of Chrome or chrome based browsers and don't want to use Brave so... 馃し (I do actually use Lynx often, but it can't work for home banking and such...)

Another year, another trip around the Sun for me. These old bones definitely feel the journey, but I am happy!

Burnout for me right now means I am stuck between wanting to make something, and drawing a blank as my creativity well is completely dry.

Any Kindle owners over here? On February 26, Amazon will remove the option to download your ebooks for USB transfer. I recommend backing them up and using Calibre to deDRM and export to other formats. I bought my current Kindle in 2017 (I think? It's a paperwhite something). I will not replace it until it dies, but when that happens I will definitely not go with Amazon again.

I am in the UK for a work trip and I am frigging cold all the time. The aircon is on everywhere: in the office, hotel lobby, restaurants... It's *winter*. Why? WHY?

Hello from Warsaw!

Happy belated New Year to the fine people of Station! I am writing from a train headed to Frankfurt. I will stay in Germany briefly and then head to Warsaw again for a bit. Then back to Italy, then immediately off to the sunny (???), merry (???) city of Milton Keynes. Currently waiting for the UK govt to make up their minds if they need me to fill in a UK ETA or not, and pondering exactly what advantage they think an ETA actually achieves, other than inconveniencing people further.

I am exhausted. After a full day of work I now have a birthday party, d&d session and early flight tomorrow. On the plus side, if I survive I will be in Warsaw in a few hours!

One trait of my character I am trying (and failing badly) to improve is that I can't let go of things and I can't leave them. It's like having something weird in one tooth and your tongue keeps touching it. This is really awkward if I am interacting with someone who needs space when something happens (that space and the silence are torture to me and it's hard to wait). Or if someone says something at work which is not an accurate interpretation of what happened, I have to speak up, even if correcting things is completely inconsequential. I know speaking up is useful, but sometimes letting go is also good and I just... can't.

Last day in Warsaw. I will leave for the airport tomorrow at 5.30. Looking forward to seeing and hugging friends and family, but sad to leave and go away from my partner. I hope to be back in December though, so quite soon.

Uncomfortable words I wish I had heard sooner in my life: perfectionism is fancy procrastination and people-pleasing can be an act of manipulation.

First day in Warsaw. The weather was lovely and I walked more than 20K steps. Today was dedicated to just walking around the city and figuring out good areas for an apartment. Tomorrow is supposed to rain: good day for a museum visit.

I see myself and my past with much more clarity now. I don't think it's just hindsight (some of it, yes, for sure), as I have recently felt like I finally found myself. Or... this is a midlife crisis. Which I wouldn't necessarily see as a bad thing: I worked hard to get where I am, I can finally do stuff I couldn't do when I was young and too busy following other people's rules.

I have a really long day ahead, so of course I have been woken up by uncomfortable dreams 3 hours before my alarm would ring.

Such an intense work week! (I know it's only Tuesday, but it feels like an entire full week has happened). And I booked two therapist visits, one dinner, one D&D session, a COVID vaccine and a bunch of screening medical exams all before the end of the month. During which time my partner will move to Poland and I need to plan a visit to family in Germany and a visit to our UK office in the Sunny (not really) Milton Keynes.

I long for Autumn: the cold breeze in the morning, quiet evenings, the trees looking all shades of red and yellow, drinking tea and wearing oversized hoodies and comfy socks.

A while ago I wanted to turn my RasPi into a small server to host my projects, web site, etc. but I have kind of abandoned the idea now. Sure, I would own all my data and be in control of them, however I'd still depend on a domain provider and internet provider. I think I have now concluded I am happy to abandon the idea.

I wish Astrobotany had an option to delete messages. I have few that I don't really want to see anymore, but I don't want to give up my account. It feels like something too small to bother an admin and I don't have a GitHub account to make a suggestion. I wish I could code, I'd work on a solution myself and push it.

I haven't been distro hopping for several years, however I am thinking of swapping Arch with something else on my laptop. Perhaps just plain Debian? Pop!_OS? Back to Manjaro? I would like to go for something I can settle with again for a long time. Before Arch, I'd hop from distro to distro every week. I am not planning to do that again for sure! But I need a change.

What client do station users use to browse Gemini? I am using Lagrange on my phone and it's amazing. I'd be interested in a terminal client that I can use on my headless RasPi that does not have vim-inspired key mappings (I expect most programmers over here will cringe reading this, LOL).

Today is my last day off work, and it's so warm that an extreme heat alert has been issued. I wish I could rewind time and go back one week to enjoy a few more days of cooler holidays.

And landed. There was some disruption earlier this morning in Frankfurt due to a protest organised by climate activists, however my flight was not affected.

Going back home tomorrow. Sad to leave Germany and go back on my own (my partner will hopefully join me again soon), but also looking forward to be home.

We went to the Gutenberg museum today. It was amazing. Also I did not know that there are so many things to see in Mainz. Maybe I will have a chance to return one day.
