I finally watched Dune 2 and it was better than expected. I found the first one forgettable for some reason but I’ll have to watch it again now.

Also watched a few episodes of the 3 Body Problem. I read the books and this series does them justice.

The wasps, aargh the wasps. That’s how I know it’s autumn. The fuckers are everywhere.

Sometimes federation seems as wasteful as blockchain…

I’ve heard that stremio + real debrid is a convenient setup these days, way easier than all the *arrs

I used to do kombucha, water kefir, dairy kefir and sourdough. It does take time and I ended up buying water kefir and kombucha concentrate for the soda stream instead.

Top tip: never leave kombucha in a closed container and forget about it. After about 20 days the pressure built up so much that the glass container exploded, sending glass into a wall 15 metres away.

The media? This is Verstappen's direct quote when asked about Marko:

"My loyalty to him is very big, and also I have always expressed this to everyone within the team, everyone high up, that he is an important part in my decision making for all the time in the future as well within the team.

As part of my degoogling I ended up on Fastmail + 1Pass and my own domain which is the endpoint for masked emails. It works great and no online services get my actual email address.

Yes. There's simply so much speculation at the moment, nobody but Red Bull really know what's going on. It's providing a nice soap opera though.

On current form there's no way Max would join Mercedes. Part of this rumour is that Red Bull's engine for 2026 is behind the competition, and Mercedes are in a better place.

Pretty weak? There are many studies showing bigger cars are killing more pedestrians, particularly because of the front blind spot.

Sounds great. The books are some of my all time favourites but for some reason the first movie didn't leave much of an impression. I'll have to watch it again before seeing this.

The massive front blind spots of these large cars are a major factor in increased pedestrian deaths.

Let's wait to see the race pace

Lewis sacrificed qualy by optimising for the race. We'll see how that goes.

Windows is a disgrace.

Yep, it's been over a decade since I watched terrestrial TV. Seeing it at my mum's was a shock. I couldn't watch it. She also has TalkBack radio on all day...
