After it being dry for an entire week I was starting to doubt I was actually in The Netherlands. It’s raining again though so everything is fine.

When I finish putting all this IKEA stuff together I think I’ll move on to getting my network configured. Need to connect (parts of) my house in .nl back to my house in .us. Thanks to OpenWRT and Wireguard that won’t be too hard to do.

My real reason for hoping the @purism Librem 5 delivers on the convergence goal is so I can resume using this awesome briefcase that just weighs way too much with a laptop and keyboard inside! 🤷🏻‍♂️

I added EVIL to my Emacs, and will likely be banished by the vim tribe for saying that Emacs provides the best vim experience there is.

Today’s recap:

- Absentee ballot mailed
- Managed to work efficiently in Emacs only one day into actually using it.
- Got approved to get some recs out and grow my team (if you know any Azure wizards in The Netherlands, point me to them)

@Gina looks like it’s in the middle of the board (Sandisk thing next to the WiFi module). If you search for that part number you will probably see your options for upgrading. Hope the cloning went well in any case!

@Gina 20GB ssd!? #timemachine

Are you going to replace both with larger ssds? Or just stick to the current hardware?

Monday is upon us. I will need to go to the office at some point so my work-assigned Windows machine can update its certificate for my identity before I shut it down until it’s time to change my password again.

@codesections just submit an issue/bug with your reproduction steps and how you worked around it. If the maintainers think it needs priority and a fix they’ll fix it or ask you if you can. If they don’t at least there’s a crumb for other users to follow when they run into the same problem.

After several weeks using primarily vim for my development environment I ended up switching to NeoVim. This was primarily because vim blocks hard on longer running plugins that are fairly necessary if you're doing completion or linting compiled languages. Now I'm giving emacs a shot as it's a good deal more mature on the whole than NeoVim. Chances are high, particularly given the decades of vi(m) use, that I end up using EvilMode at a minimum.

Got my 4Ks back in service too. All the better to up the isolation level given the massive spike in COVID-19 cases here in NL this week.

@Gina that looks tasty!!

Finally have some furniture in the first floor of my house in Delft. It’s nice to relax far away from my office on the third floor where I frequently get sucked in to rewriting everything I’ve ever done in #Python in #Rust.

@Gina only blocks carbs, sugar, and fat tho what about proteins!!!? #gottablockitall 😭☠️

@Gina 😂 thanks. Needed a laugh today

@greypilgrim probably Rust

Just published my first Rust project: tail_chaser, a small tail-like library and binary crate. It was born from the need to follow a log file and do operations on each line in a very stale system with no useful utilities. The public methods on the library give me something to use in a larger project without reinventing the wheel (again) to just read the data out of the file when it updates, and the binary takes care of something like `tail -F --retry /some/file` #Rust #development #FOSS

Hotspotting my phone again because Ziggo is by far the worst ISP I have used in more than 30 years (to include satellite in a combat zone). Great start to the week.

@Gina I don’t know about making it fun, but I can help make it consistent. Tip 1) run to the beat of music you’re either listening to, or know well. As in keep your stride locked to the beat. Right foot always hits with the first and third beat of a 4/4 song for example. Tip 2) don’t run for time or specific durations, run to objects you can see, and change your target destination just before you get to your initial target until you get to where you really wanted.

@Gina meanwhile Americans in Europe be like “so can we stay... forever”?
