Using the old €20 wheel from the kringloopwinkel to spin some Norwegian wool. This stuff has very straight, long, and fairly sharp fibers and is definitely not going to yield a next to skin yarn but I’ll come up with something to do with it.

The ol' bump deps and rev projects dance is done again. Third time now that I've said "I ought to automate this process" - and I have a placeholder project that might just fit the bill for the right way to do it.

@Gina actually can’t lie one lady had on a brave combination. Leopard print top with snake print sleeves and cheetah pants. I thought I was in an episode of Tiger King for a second.

@Gina oooo also we can go to my ranch and get you some rattlesnake skins for some snakeskin apparel. I noticed last week that like 40% of Delft was wearing cat or snake print.

@Gina heeeeeel lekker! What if living your best life is actually just moving in with us and I’ll like pay for your gym membership if you make us stroopwaffel, bitterballen, and oliebollen!?

More handspun, two plies. The previous have been like a DK, this is more a fingering or sport. Interesting.

This week I have written a LOT of Python. I have not written any tests. This is not something I’d ever do in Rust, and after today there’s no way I’ll do it in Python again. Quite a lot of time wasted fixing bugs as they popped up at runtime. Not a fan. Will change my ways.

Update your Rust version if using crates that use std::net - which includes my own A Rust Site Engine.

Bumped dependencies on my various Rust crates today. Still need to automate that process! Perhaps next week.

Went sailing with a coworker today. Fun stuff!

Done upgraded PureBoot and my EC firmware on my Librem 14 today. Audio jack works for output now. Headset mic not detected still. Fn + any non F-key does nothing so the insert key isn’t possible.

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.

Tune in to our new episode! @katherined, @dsearls talk to @kyle about NSO group and Pegasus, Stingrays and cars, and surveilling priests.

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.

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.

If you're interested in GNOME Mobile development, adaptive apps, and the future of the GNOME platform join our virtual Q&A later this week!

We'll have many of the core people behind various pieces of the stack, including @agx, @KekunPlazas, @exalm, @dos, and myself.
