I just found out NewPipe lets me listen to the 3C conferences.
I now have a shitton more content to listen to while in the shower!

Friendship ended with over-ears, IEMs are my new best friend.
The sound isolation is INSANE for such tiny things.
I guess I have just always had shitty dollar store in-ears.

Virtualization is so cool...
I wish Intel GVT-g were real...

I just repasted my current laptop and I have NO idea why that one chip next to the CPU wasn't covered in thermal paste.
Is it the GPU?
I went ahead and put some on it just in case, my old machine DID have paste on both dies.

Turns out what broke Plasma was a funky KWin Script. I removed it and it all works good now.
I liked how Sway uses like 50MB of RAM, though.
I have to tinker with it to get it to where I may consider switching to it.
It's neat and all but it's weird to tile instead of stack...
It did, however, explode my portal settings and all Flatpak apps reverted to using the GTK file chooser.
Off to the wiki, ig.

Well, I guess it's as good a time as any to start using sway.
Plasma just full-on broke keyboard input, only some hotkeys work.
Funny enough it only broke on Wayland but the X11 session works.
Then again, it's X. I'd rather learn another environment.

I sometimes forget how pleasing it is to listen to music.
I usually just suffer through work in silence or with spoken word, just to have some BG noise (that I end up pausing because "i can't see very good with all this sound").
Weirdly enough I can tune out the music often enough to not be distracted by it yet still enjoy its ambiance-y powers.

@KateYagi I doubt it, do matches just ignite by temperature and don't need a flame?
Though I would worry more about the flimsy adapter I'm using, it may melt if fire gets near it (!)
These drives are almost entirely metal.

I love how some GNU™/Linux® users throw the funniest, most amazing, smart and creative insults towards other OSs like "Windoze" and "Crapple". Completely unironically.
It makes me go nucking futs.

I had no idea IDE hard drives got so hot.
Touching the side of the drive is starting to get painful.

I just found out Konqueror can work as an FTP client.
FileZilla go YEET

I just clicked a dead link on the Internet Archive and I went "sadge, well, I guess it'll be archived so I'll head to th-
oh."

TIL wearing a skirt makes crumb cleanup a breeze
I oughta do this more often

I wish all
tracking parameters on links
a very
disappear forever

Also I'm not sure this chipset was designed to push 1080p via VGA (it looks BLURRY)

The main thing that kills it I guess is the 15 year old hard drive and 800MT/s RAM
