Hah. Well, maybe there isn't a real and viable path for me into working on a ship right now from my zero starting point. At least from what I'm reading on information sites. I think therefore I need to focus on the cleaner/room attendant option at local hotels. I haven't the faintest idea what the best approach to this is, but I'm just going to get out to the areas where I can approach the receptionists and get in contact with the managers to do this. I'm not exactly well situated to access these locations, and under-equipped financially to do so, but eliminating all my excess possessions that are not either useful or relevant to my current situation is going to help. I should be able to stretch my runway out another 2 weeks or so if I am careful. After spending nearly 40% above what I really should have had to, to acquire the staple food of my next 4 days, I'm also going to attend to getting this supply line shored up and a better priced source settled. I wish I could have fresh milk but UHT is much easier to get my hands on and I can transport it by foot easily up to 12km so I'm going to be doing it this way before my current stock runs out. 1 out of 7 oranges I bought went fungi in the fridge also, in only 3 days, which is pretty annoying, probably I need to think in terms of securing only 2 days ahead on this supply item. It may seem trivial to people with relatively robust health and tolerance of the endless poisons of the conventional food supply for me to focus on this, but my performance and capabilities are dramatically diminished by the wrong food, and those requirements are very strict. I am feeling incredibly better on my current regime, and I'm going to defend it like my life is at stake, because it is. I kinda wish I could avoid needing to step outside the bitcoin world to get an income going, but my past performance is an anchor around my neck and the psychosis I was suffering as a result of my addictions to the common vices, alcohol, caffeine and nicotine, were dragging me down and keeping me constantly in a state of borderline disaster. I'm done with that now. Every time I see advertising for alcohol and caffeine I want to spit at it. These are tools being used to enslave you all. Even if it is diminishing you only 2% you wouldn't believe how much you can do when you are trimmed down to such a margin versus not having that extra capacity available.

I didn't plan very well this month. I've got maybe a week's worth of food sorted out and I need more money to come in. I made a stupid assumption that because I had been laying the groundwork for a friend to relocate, that I had a month of runway to get moving, but now I see I have no runway at all. Not sure what to do. It's not a trivial part of my 70 euro or so remaining to go into town (about 6 for there and back) so I probably should try to make applications from here over the internet. Any help will of course be most gratefully accepted.

I had a looming debanking problem, with my current and only bank in limbo with a proof of address problem that I can't find a solution to before I have need of the banking services. The solution came in finding another eastern european neobank that accepted my application and now I have a payment card connected to my google wallet. Every time banks close doors to you, they create opportunities for other banks to get your business. Banks keep on making these mistakes, in the context of the internet, it is a collossally stupid mistake to make. It happened that it was a european based bank, but most likely I could have got another account from outside europe that is connected to SWIFT and thus resolved my issue of converting sats to fiat. Banks are screwed, in the end, just like the three way gun situation in Reservoir Dogs. Most likely whoever tries to shoot first will end up dead.

Day 5 no caffeine. I'm fairly awake, but I feel like I need a little more of a kick. So I'm gonna try sitting in the morning sun.

https://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?t=300908 With how easy that is to do, you'd think, you know, that this feature wouldn't keep being fucked with by DE developers. Who the fuck are they writing this shit for anyway? Open source is cool, but not the shady cunts that pay for it, in many cases. Only some of the oldest and most important projects, like linux, seem to manage to keep their integrity, but everything else seems to be puppetry by hidden hands. Until Bitcoin came along. Then the idea of self-funding projects appeared. Sadly it's the only one that isn't a ponzi though. If I had no obligations to anyone for anything else I'd dedicate it to writing a software stack that isn't retarded like most of them.

I'm utterly done with Gnome. Been running 44, and just a few days ago on the same version, I was able to, albeit by running wayland, hide the titlebars on my windows. The offense of forcing everyone to tolerate their poop brown new dark theme with Apple inspired, insipid, alternately dark and light windows needs to end now, ok, just stop it. Also, fuck gnome. Did :I mention, fuck gnome? Because fuck gnome.

Something that people are quickly going to learn is that too much of a thing makes it less valuable. Every time I see AI generated art and text, I'm like, yawn, oh look, someone spent 5 minutes making that.
