@bhtooefr I'll be following! I like formula 1, but haven't watched in a while. Le Mans is a awesome race, but i aleays miss it for various reasons.

Looking forward to it via Mastodon!

I’ve seen twice in the last 1.5 years, could I possibly be excited about their North American tour date announcement (tomorrow 1PM EST)?

HELL
YES!!!!

I’m already there. I’m thinking about what clothes to wear. I’m making sure my calendar will be empty. I’m hoping to god the show doesn’t land on a test day, because one of the family is going to have to “die” for me to reschedule. My alarm is set, and it will be set for ticket sales.

I’m feeling pretty... dorky right now.

Hold on... we've got all these fancy gadgets now... why hasn't anyone programmed a system so when you walk into a dark room you can exclaim "Aziz, light!" and the lights come on?

one day we're going to have a community operated mesh of internet radio stations where your fedifriend's djbot spin 24/7 or you can jump on a video stream and watch @mike make cables or #whatever cool shit people decide to broadcast.

if you say "that's called #twitch" i'll sick Richard Stallman on you.

also, if you think the point is to "reach an audience" or some bullshit like that, you're missing the point. the point is to have some fucking fun.

i'm inviting you over to my virtual apartment to listen to some lo-fi hiphop and drink tea. maybe i'll show you something that i'm working on. i want friends, not customers.

Gamma Cassiopeiae rotates rapidly. Escaping gas forms around it causing variations in brightness. The star's well known to astronauts who call it "Navi," a moniker coined by astronaut Virgil Ivan Grissom (Navi = Ivan backwards). The star is used as a navigational reference point.

I am getting used to gnome at work ( we are a linux shop, thank Dog).

but doggone it. I've caught myself wishing I was using win 10 and not gnome in the last week.

if your users prefer Windows as a window manager, your FLOSS UI team is not even trying.

@Jo I've tried them all by this point, and they all suck in different ways, unfortunately.

Like, I want a slick desktop that's nice to look at and doesn't have screen-tearing and all that other 1998 stuff. I want something that's relatively mainstream so I can count on it being supported and on apps/integrations and all that other stuff.

I dunno, maybe I'm picky. Years back I had all the time in the world for screwing around with WMs and DEs. Not so much today.

From Saturday - the Galaxies M66 (L) and M65 (R) in the constellation Leo. 0.2m telescope. 5 min L, 2 min each RGB.

M66 is ~31 Mly from Earth, M65 is ~40 Mly away.

@Fritillaria2 a note has been made. perhaps the next time we are travelling thru Aberdeen.

For the last two years I've carried a honeypot laptop with me every time I traveled. I checked it in my luggage, left it unattended in my hotel rooms. After each trip, I did forensic analysis on the laptop to detect if it had been tampered with.

I wrote about my experience and methodology here: theintercept.com/2018/04/28/co

@salixlucida I saw that. went around the yard today getting it ready for a good storm. We will see. Glad I'm in a protected pocket inland, and not out on the coast.
