I knew it would eventually come to this. I'm out of fruit flavoured teas and I'm still two days away from being able to replenish my supplies at a discount. However I still have some pu'er tea left so I can mix it with something fruity, problem being — the most "fruity"-flavoured thing I have is lemongrass. So be it, behold the most cursed tea mix ever created!
I'm not wondering is it any good, I'm wondering how good it is!
Still have to wait for it to brew…

@meowski @kirby
I think that's an appropriate reaction to the thread you have linked to
No, don't get me wrong, it's mostly neutral, except for a few parts that made me suspicious, like this here:
> given the experience of Yugoslavia and Iraq, could lead to an outbreak of cancer in the medium term
There is no given experience of Yugoslavia — connection of use of depleted uranium munitions to increase in amount cancer cases was never an undisputed fact, look here:
https://www.rferl.org/a/moscow-serbian-media-appear-mislead-claims-cancer-fight-nato-bombings-/30320663.html
Of course you might not consider Radio Liberty a trustworthy source a it might be biased, but they cite a lot of sources, including Serbian politician who claimed that there is such connection, but never presented any proof. They also refer to Serbian medical institutions that claim there is no such connections and even that there was no growth in cancer cases.
Back to depleted uranium shells themselves, take a look at what those are: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Depleted_uranium
Uranium isn't used in some powdered form so it could contaminate the air, it's very dense and that is precisely why it's used for penetrator part of an armor piercing round — it's the sturdiest part, I can't imagine how, even if it gets split by an adjacent explosion, can make it into someone's body kilometers away from explosion.
One more thing worth noting, take a look at the date that article on Radio Liberty's website was published — it's 2019, long before it had anything with Ukraine, Russia was always trying to give the depleted uranium scare a proper spin to use it against NATO. And now Russia is a side of the conflict — that's no proof of course, but whole thing could be a part of psyop.
Radiation spikes still look scary, but there are things to consider other than DU shells — there is Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant not far from there, right in the zone of armed conflict.

I wonder why are there not a lot of custom ROMs for Sony Xperia phones on XDA Developers forums?
Looks like Sony provides the bootloader unlock codes and sources required to build AOSP for their devices 🤷
https://www.gsmarena.com/sony_xperia_1_v-12263.php
Specs of this to be released phone look amazing and it still has a headphone jack and SD card slot, but using stock ROM with all that Google bullshit sounds scary.
Whoah, this looks like a very minimalist Fedi software with Gemini and Gopher frontends: https://github.com/dimkr/tootik
According to description, it's not fully ActivityPub compliant, but Gemini frontend and overall minimalism looks attractive.

Don't do that vile stuff, get yourself some proper vodka! Matrioshka! Balalaika! 🐻
Sorry, I didn't have a proper matrioshka doll to complete the composition, had to resort to a Wikipedia page for .mkv as a replacement… 🤔
Wait, I think I might have one in the storage room, but it's in everyone's interest not to see it, has probably mutated beyond salvation ☢️

@gordoooo_z Yeah, I get what you're talking about. I think if you give too much freedom in modern game and it's not an open world game, people get lost easily and it's not like old times anymore when you only had a handful of games and were likely to play them through, now it's the same attention/focus problem as with music, movies and everything else, if people get lost easily, they just quit your game and move on, so these "you can't go there" are nothing more than hints.
And this freedom give all sort of weird ideas to people like me:
— There is no point in going there it's just barren land
— But why make the barren land you can travel through, I bet there's a trick to it, I have to explore
And you end up looking for some cool secret for a couple of hours, but there is none 🤯
W3 and DA are both pretty linear to me, games like Elex are outright dangerous: you can travel everywhere, you can get into quests you have no idea what are about yes, try to kill NPCs that are important later in the game. In Elex you get minuscule experience points from fights — you are supposed to level up completing quests, but of course I didn't play it the way I'm supposed to and I got powerful enough to kill even the strongest enemies without even choosing a role and major plot line associated with it. I have spent a lot of time on leveling up, but once I did that I was able to see all endings in 15 minutes, it was supposed to be three separate playthroughs 😂

Now there is no hot water. On Sunday. it's 2 PM and and it's weekend before the national holiday which they've made of May 9th, so two more holidays ahead, most are at their homes now.
Also, they've turned off central heating and it's freezing here. It was 0°C at night 🥶
My home is colder than it ever was during this winter.
It's a capital of a country that doesn't do shit other than mining oil and gas. And there is no hot water.
God bless this great country!🤦
My block got defederated from the power grid 😔
This is the capital and such things are not only possible, but are actually quite common. Or having no running water during office hours for three consecutive days. Can't believe this shit 🤬

@PawelK @DotardTed I have this thing sitting on top of bookcase that tells me how well exactly Mother Russia's economy is doing — live from Moscow Exchange. I can even wake up at night and check if there is cause for alarm!
No, just kidding, they don't have trade session at night time, it just shows the rates it was closed at 😂

The old MacBook Pro I use now has a weird keyboard issue: sometimes "k" and "l" keys stop working — sometimes they work normally for extended periods of time, sometimes you have to press them multiple times alternating "k" and "l" to make them work again. I'm pretty sure the keys are fine, probably a microcrack in the ribbon cable, but, as I use a lot of software with vi-like bindings, you can imagine, it's really annoying.
And I think to myself: maybe I should just order a new keyboard from AliExpress? And I go to iFixIt to see if it's easy to replace and see this: sixty nine screws just to detach the keyboard? And there is a plethora of steps before I even get to this one. Oh, screw it! Pressing the keys to make them work again isn't that bad 😅

Yesterday I realized that there is a way to control MPV with an IPC, it can be configured to listen to named pipe/socket. So I had decided to hack together a web app in python to control it, but then found an already existing one here: https://github.com/FIX94/mpv-browser-remote
It only does a bare minimum, so I've added a couple of extra buttons and did a facelift, also got rid of javascript: original script used XmlHttpRequest object to issue POST requests, mine uses GET requests so buttons are normal links and the script replies with a 301 redirect back to /. I should've probably used a hidden frame, but that's unnecessary complication IMO.
Well, now it looks nice and still gets the job done (without JS) 😄
