Too bad I can’t seem to find an app or web service to alert me of price drops on Amazon.nl. All work with other locales, just not .nl.

As per @danielpunkass’s post about 🍞, there’s The Fresh Loaf - A Community of Amateur Bakers and Artisan Bread Enthusiasts to consider if you’re into making your own and want to advance with the help of other enthusiasts.

The YouTube live stream of the launch of Inspiration4 has started.

Inspiration4 is expected to launch 🚀 later today for a 3-day low Earth orbit stay in space. It’s the first all-civilian crew in a Crew Dragon launched on top of a SpaceX Falcon-9 launcher. They’ll circle the Earth above the ISS, and hopefully make space available to everyone.

Thinking about consumerism… I have no need for new gadgets, so I’ll skip Apple’s presentation today. It’s just another sales pitch to unload some of the burden of having disposable income, preying on FOMO of the tech and adjacent enthusiasts. This is how I rationalize it 👨‍💻

And then everything broke, SMB, SSH, on my Pi. So I removed all the software, turned off the services. Should teach me not to install 3rd-party software. Back to file exchange via USB-sticks.

The official Hugo primer is already way above my pay grade. The intro by Mike Dane is much gentler, and doesn’t assume any prior knowledge as the official primer seems to do. 👨‍💻

I can has Remote Desktop Access to my Pi 🥧 now, with TeamViewer for personal use (free) 🤓 👨‍💻

According to both my calculated fat percentage and BMI I’m no longer overweight, nor obese: 75 kg, 1.74 m. 🏃 Good position to be in for my upcoming marathon, November 28. I lost 18 kg (40 lbs), or half my body fat mass, in 17 weeks.

And my dresser is assembled, in around three hours. Very pleased with myself, and the result, of course 😍 Again, such a good find last Monday, after almost giving up the furniture hunt. 🏠

Medieval city prison, at the then city limit, called the “Gevangenpoort", or prisoners’ gate.

32 pages for assembling a dresser seems daunting to me, having little experience with turning flatpacks into furniture. However, I’m low on funds, so paying someone else to do it must wait a month. Alternatively, I do it myself, today… 😱 That didn’t go well the previous time 😔 🏠

Went hunting for a dresser with my sister, and I found a bargain which appealed to me. Only problem, it came as two flat packs, and Maahir 🐱 eats cardboard “for breakfast.” So I had to roll them into a blanket for now, until I can pay someone to put them together into a dresser. 🏠

💡When in doubt about a feature on Linux Desktop, try the Windows equivalent. My question was: “What key combo is used to switch between apps?” Alt+Tab on both Windows and Linux Desktop 👨‍💻

Web coding in Hugo, while watching a YouTube video on the page generated by the local Hugo server, running on my brand new Raspberry Pi 400. 👨‍💻

My Noob experience with web dev, sort of. Using Rasberry Pi 400 for web development – part 1 – So much to do, so little time

I’m clearly an expert at couching my words 🤣

Tomorrow I’ll start studying web development using the Hugo templating language, after “only” four days of prep, and little sleep. The rest of the day is reserved for taking it easy, recovery.

It’s nice to have extra space instead of the stock 16 GiB that comes with the Raspberry Pi 400. 👨‍💻

Since Linux Desktop has limited support for emoji and no good input method editor (IME) I could find, I’ll have to use a cheat sheet with Unicodes. Most emoji are unsupported, though, which is a shame. To enter, press the ctrl+shift+u key combo, followed by the hex-digits. 👨‍💻
