@Gina Caty loved your sound effects

I have decided when I return to the US I will immediately acquire an XSR900. It’s been too long with no motorcycle in my life.

@gina how do you say “I love your pants!” in Nederlands? Caty wishes to say this properly and my suggestion to just say it in English has been dismissed as stupid.

Do not want to jump the gun, but a few days with PureOS - and not having to install anything but syncthing from an external repository (staleness reasons) - has me pretty eager to get my Librem 5. For my general productivity needs it’s all there.

@kyle occasionally with a wave that’s offensive in the local culture.

The move from Qubes OS over to Pure OS went pretty smoothly. Generally if one can be productive in Qubes OS it's pretty simple to handle a migration to just about anything else IME.

Detailed my process below, but so far so good.... and even my USB-C woes appear to be a non-issue.

@Gina looking good. overhung slopers are ugh. I’ve found post-surgery that going up isn’t that much harder, it’s coming back down that’s the problem. Can’t get myself to drop, and down climbing is a pita.

No longer pondering. Did a full backup of QubesOS, and will selectively restore some new qubes over to my T460s. I’ve got a Tails stick made, and am installing PureOS on my Librem 14 right now.

Pondering moving my Librem 14 over to PureOS this weekend, and leaving my more esoteric use cases to the T460s on Qubes. I do make heavy use of DispVMs, but in a pinch I guess I could always use a container or if I wanted to Leave No Trace just reboot to a Tails stick.

Made it to 38. Is it time for a mid-life crisis, or can I just count the pandemic and move on?

@Gina not bad at all really. I like it here, but if I have to be stuck in a small set of places it might as well be the ones that also contain my pets, friends, and family. I’m sure I can figure out how to make bitterballen so there won’t be much to miss in the end.

@Gina glad you’re back. You came back just in time for my bday (tomorrow) so guess you didn’t really miss anything 🤷🏻‍♂️😂

- Went home for a month, got vax’d, came back
- Decided my NL assignment will end early, going home in December for good
- Started violin lessons again
- Finished the website engine thing my fiancée asked for and got her using it
- Went to Paris for two days for work, got food poisoning immediately, spent the first day basically dead.

@kyle especially since the SCOTUS decided companies are people in 2010. Guess our spam filters, firewalls, and E2EE are all we got though.

@Gina let’s do it!

@Gina she lives! Hope you’re doing well! Went bouldering the other day in Den Haag and thought of you

@kyle yeah if the anonymous ID is assigned once it ain’t anonymous. Part of the problem is the cult of Big Data and METRICS.
