My broadband install kit was delivered before I moved in... to my neighbors who are now also not home. This whole delivering things to random people thing is going to take some getting used to.

@Gina my internet isn’t ready at my new place yet and I may legit stay at my old place just to keep watching it 😂

@Gina omggg I just started this on Sunday! Karate Kid was my jam back in prehistoric times aka the 80s

@ju thanks, I’ve enjoyed it. Been here off and on for nearly two years already, but settling into a long term assignment that will keep me here full time for another two. I like it a lot

And now I have the keys to the house I’ll live in here in Delft for at least the next two years. Time to settle in!

Rust really shines, for me, in cases where I have targets with multiple processor architectures, and varying degrees of maintenance support (read: still in service but beyond EOL). I write my tooling once, and when my build scripts are done I have the binaries I need for each platform. In my last use case, these were actually smaller than the venvs I needed to ship with Python on the minority of nodes where it was even possible to deploy a modern Python venv.

@purism looking forward to getting mine.

@Gina nice!

Living on the wild side: firmware upgrades 7min before my stand up.

Here’s to hoping I actually get to do some climbing in the next two years. I moved to Europe prepared to climb every weekend of the season but then 2020 happened and the only climbing I’ve done is up the stairs into bed.

@Gina the comic makes use of negative space and numerous other decidedly art-school elements so clearly it must be art right? There’s really no set of definitive traits that makes one creative work art and denies another the same label. Art, like beauty, is in the eye of the beholder.

Wireshark and ripgrep ended up really being all I added to Tails. Oh, and a persistent .bashrc with the critical ‘set -o vi’ addition.

And let me just say how cool it is that a Tails stick I created a month ago booted up and immediately said “upgrade!!!!”

Worked like a charm too.

Sometimes I still expect nothing to work after an upgrade like the old days when a new kernel most likely meant you’d spend a week trying to figure out why your audio didn’t work anymore.

Since I’m not a huge fan of the “need” to carry multiple machines around with me everywhere I go, I’m setting up a Tails drive with the tools I need to act remotely in emergencies from any machine I can USB boot. My hope is that in the near future I can use a Librem 5 to handle my remote admin needs directly. Where apps do not exist for my specific needs, I intend to create them since that’s part of the beauty of open software and systems.

@Gina seriously, I was in Amsterdam with a friend today and it was like walk one block with an umbrella and my sleeves down. Walk the next block with my sleeves rolled up sweating and my umbrella awkwardly dripping everywhere oh wait nevermind now it’s raining again and I’m cold 🤯

@Gina thanks for the tips! Once my fiancée joins me here and I have someone to belay me I will definitely check it out 🙏🏼

Made it the entire week without feeling compelled to launch VS Code. Developing in Vim, alongside my native terminal tooling and needs was actually very enjoyable. Time to `sudo dnf -y remove code`

It looks like Hurricane Laura for the most part spared my family reliving the damages sustained in Harvey and so many other storms in recent years. Having mucked houses and done recovery work many times now my heart goes out to those who took it head on in Louisiana.
