Are you getting it because your child wants it or you would have wanted it as a kid?
"Does it matter??" This looks epic!

Been boycotting Reddit, but damn new little daily crossword is fun. Also r/gorpcore is nice. Yes all the data is feeding AI 🤖 🙃😒

Trying to learn Riichi Mahjong. Bought a set while on vacation in Japan. Finally managed to win an online match vs bots. Not even sure how I scored so many points.

Just finished Playing Patience, a short story in the Ravenor Omnibus. At first, I was annoyed because it is not chronologically next after the second novel. Glad I kept with it. Was a fun backstory flashback, nice break and chance to build anticipation for Ravenor Rogue.

Feeling like a hacker. Accidentally had a tailscale key set to expire on one of my homelab nodes. I was able to use a working node as a jump host to connect to the problem node and fix the issue.
```
$ ssh -J travis@host1 travis@192.168.1.xxx

Delta chat looks sick. Been looking for a self-hostable chat with clients for iOS, Android and web. Only problem is at this stage the backend is not dockerized and would be difficult to get working with my homlab cluster setup.

A Gemini capsule backed by an AWS Lambda function? Goes against the Gemini community vibe I feel, but that is the point. The protocol itself does not necessary push towards selfhosting.

Affinity has gone free! Not sure how they are making money though. 🤔 AI extra features?
Love affinity photo for editing photos.

I'm in the market for a handheld linux pc / cyberdeck. The HackberryPi CM5 looks cool. I dig the blackberry keyboard, but for 225 EUR I think clockwork pi has more attractive offerings like uConsole.

Switching back from helix editor and it's keybindings to vim. Omarchy inspired me to checkout LazyVim.
Trying to get my fingers to unlearn.

Something I missed when setting up jj as my main version control on personal projects was commit signing. No longer! Let all the commits be signed!
