Damn you. I just had an important meeting.

Picking through a smouldering trash heap to collect the occasional phone, radio or whatever, to burn it down for metals.

IIRC, you only need 2 pass if you need to fit a size target. So you can safely deactivate both options.

Could this have something to do with NTFS not being case sensitive? I remember somewhere there is an option in Steam to ignore upper/lower case.

Ambient, electronica, Post punk, emo and goth stuff, synthwave, sludge / stoner metal, industrial, and folk music.

My favorites over the years were

• Chemical Brothers
• Underworld
• The Presets
• Aphex Twin
• Brian Eno
• Boards of Canada
• Ministry
• Nine Inch Nails (but boy did he jump the shark hard)
• Skinny Puppy / oHGr / Download / Phil Western
• Einstürzende Neubauten
• The Cure
• Killing Joke
• Neil Young

I don't know why, but I also gravitate to girl guitar bands. Especially if they sing in harmony. Instant goosebumps!

I got an Epson ecotank printer. It doesn't work out of the box with Linux, but there are drivers and it does the job. Otherwise it's been pretty dependable.

This is why I personally would prefer phones with replaceable batteries like the Fairphone.

I was about 17-18 and hat a tick on my nutsack. Tried getting it off myself but it ended up getting infected. Only after the pain got worse than the potential embarrassment I slinked to the doctor.

Not say anything.

Went on a date with a girl I thought was pretty cute, and I heard she had the hots for me. So at first I had high hopes. NGL, I like mysterious but that was too much. All I got was variations of a shrug.

I'm not proud of what I did, but I made some excuse and just left her alone. I simply couldn't stand it.

The Taste of Tea. Japanese stuff can be pretty weird, but I had absolutely no idea what that film was about.

I always have tablets with me! Every time I'm eating out and am not 100% sure that the food is vegan, I take a table just to be sure. I can imagine that cooks slip in butter or cream to improve the taste.

I grew up in West Africa in the 80, and there was a lot assaulting your nostrils. The markets with dried fish, the open sewage trenches in the city, rotting roadkill.

But the very worst experience was when I was trying to cross over a bridge during some festival. The bridge was packed with people, who were either heavily perfumed to mask the BO, whose deodorant gave up or who just went a few days without bathing. So we were all there together profusely sweating in the tropical sun, and I was just tall enough so my nose was at armpit height.

Or no, a buried memory surfaces. You may know that natural latex drips out rubber trees, and that they spritz ammonia into the latex to keep it liquid? Now imagine a plantation the size of a city where everything stinks of ammonia. And then a factory that smells of burnt piss?

The very first thing? Quit work and drag the family for a long trip first to Japan, and then to Iceland.

After then, the important stuff. Start an IT school somewhere in West Africa, maybe an IT service provider. And while I'm at it, build a race track and try and build up a racing community. Preferably with local-built electrical vehicles.

I'd like to see Buddhists and Muslims in this chart!

Oh yeah the Dreamcast! Never saw a console with such a quirky lineup. My favorites were

• Rez
• Tokyo Xtreme Racer
• Cosmic Smash
• Crazy Taxi
• House of the Dead
• Space Channel 5 (right left chu chu chu!)

You offer paid hosting with hardware in your garage? I'm getting dot-com flashbacks!

Glancing over the website, I thought it's an immutable OS, like Fedora Silverblue. I could imagine that it might be cool to use with Ansible and stuff. But for an average user? I can't really see the advantages in respect to the work you have to put in.
