I need to tell you something. I'm feeling smoothly bisexual.
Apparently it's world gin day. Found this out by being in a gin bar. I suspect there are 364 more of these.
@Einahpets I think it turned out well. Bad lighting but it's black and I just got the side fade and mohawk done
regular message to whatever Culture ship is in system at the moment: me and a small group of friends are ready for pickup whenever you feel like swinging by.
I deleted my github account. It didn't have much on it, but I'm cranky about companies consolidating and gobbling each other up into one giant frankenmegacorp.
I want the internet to be a network of villages with weird yurts and converted school buses, not a few highrises each with a zillion sterile apartments. It's a silly metaphor, but you know what I mean.
Popped out of work for a few hours to get a hair makeover
Hair colour going in. No turning back now
whois $(dig +short gitlab.com) | grep OrgName #selfHost4Lyfe
bye bye MICROS~1
TFW removing dozens of repositories of technical debt. No it's all backed up and I'll push most of it to my gitlab instance soon.
New filament delivered for the makerspace. Glowfill, pink and blue in PLA! Everyone excited and now there's a queue for jobs!
@gc yep, all for the self-hosting and saving $$ with Pi's and other efficient home devices (I have about a dozen here). It's just time to scrap/recycle those old Core2Duo's. They're old, loud (usually the fan bearings have started to go, like my knees), and inefficient, like my knees.
Taking @Einahpets 's cue, I am also thinking of going a bit crazy with my hair. I think it's time. Anyway if work disapproves it's winter here so I can wear a beanie in the office for the next few months πΈ
@gc and everyone, sorry about injecting some maths into your feed. π
@gc old PCs like core2duo from 2009 are power hogs. Example Core2duo is 65W and that's just for the CPU. That's 1.56kWh/day or 46.8kWh/month. I pay $0.25/kWh for power, that's $11.70. Cheap VPS for personal use = $5/month, or replace the 2009 PC with a Raspberry Pi which uses about 5W.
Did smile at a response from this morning's news about Github
So yeah streaming, kinda fun. Might do it again when I have something else to talk about, and fix my settings.
I wonder if I should start making twitch streams of us at the local Maker Space making things and yelling at code...
Best GDPR notice yet!

It's like time for Cyberspace to secede from the corporate hegemony and stuff.
