Ahh it's a bit different if all your buildings were never made with such temperatures in mind. Not to mention if you've never seen such temperatures in your usual day to day.

We get around -2c to 40c+ where I live depending on the season, summer here floors people from colder climates.

There are far too many loopholes for me not to hate companies be they small or large.

In Australia, "family trusts" are a sure way to write off a good chunk of your expenses (groceries, fuel and so on) while paying yourself a wage. If you really want you can cook the books taking cash sales for yourself too.

Don't forget about "taking" whatever you want from the company, and writing that off as a loss.

Maybe I should hate people, but in a vacuum people are reasonable, logical and honorable. But once we introduce a "well maybe" or an "but what if I were to purchase fast food and disguise it as my own cooking?" my view of people becomes skewed.

I guess, I wanted to vent about how fucked everything seems to be and that I feel powerless to do anything about it. GameStop as a company probably deserve the rocks in boxes, Amazon deserve them too, all because people are running those companies.

I'm not above greed, but I'd like to think / feel that I put out more than I take and it seems quite uncommon in our modern society.

Mushrooms, don't forget about computer fungus.

Ahh yeah the price is a waiting game for me, Apple products hold onto their value and for me having the bleeding edge isn't what I'm chasing these days.

Guess I'll wait and see how the Qualcomm products go on the used market for their price.

I got my 4800hs for a steal; maybe I need to aim lower.

Linux on Qualcomm laptops really that bad? I've been considering a purchase of a 1st gen once the 2nd gen comes out (probably grab an ex display model on the cheap).

I've not been following developments closely enough, but I know the battery life (in windows at least) is tiers better than my current 4800hs / 1650 with 65% battery health.

I've too considered a MacBook, but their never within my budget for the spec that I want, guess I was too hopeful about Qualcomm laptops 😞

Interesting video on Chernobyl and the people still living in the exclusion zone.

I can't watch the video via the BBC site but it exists elsewhere.

I use NixOS for all my systems now, single config covers two servers, laptop, notebook and desktop.

Containers aren't something to be afraid of, I've found nix + podman to be super easy to use / configure, so much it's a copy / paste a config from another container with some small directory changes.

If you are not someone who likes using a terminal perhaps nix isn't for you. I've found forcing the terminal & configuring via nix has given me much more insight into my machines / os than ever before. If you've got the time to mess with Nix I'd recommend it.

If that sounds like a bunch of effort and time to get something that may be easier via another method, I'd say Proxmox is the way to go.

Running through my config I've just noticed that I've got an IP conflict that I wasn't aware of, but makes total sense right now 😅

Currently trying to find a screwdriver set that went missing after boxing up a bunch of old consoles. I don't remember putting it there, nor do I want to open and unpack everything again 😅
