RPG tip: Roll up treasure horde parcels and jot them down in your notes. Distribute them when it makes sense.

@itsfoss I used to peel off the W*****s sticker and put it on the commode. Fortunately, that sort of thing is unnecessary these days.

just gave me the push I needed to wipe that partition that I almost never boot into anyway. Being an user that wants to get into app development, I am considering . What do you think fedi, any thoughts on the best option for me?

@fiery My advice is always to avoid boutique distros and go with one of the majors. Pro tip: God uses Debian.

Started planning an overseas trip, but realized I'd have to renew my passport. Whew, guess I won't be spending all that money after all. But I sent it in for expedited renewal anyway, just to see what would happen... and not only did they approve it, but they're sending it back early! Now I have no excuse not to go!

How and just exactly when the fuck did people start believing I was a (somewhat) responsible adult?

People will tell me I am thier voice of reason.

And it just blows my fucking mind.

@BlackDogActual I'm sure it's an innocent mistake.

Nope. I've been to my last Symphony concert. I've seen rude audiences there before, but this was beyond the limit. If your kids are too little to sit still, leave them at home. And if you're too sick to stop coughing, stay home yourself. People paid good money for those tickets.

Symphony ticket, check. Clothes ironed, check. Bus schedule, check. I'm ready to hear the Symphony play Takemitsu's "From me flows what you call Time"!

Until now I do not own any storage system whatsoever for my Commodore C64 breadbin.

I am looking into several solutions like the SD2IEC (several) combined with a Final Cartridge III+ cartridge or an EPYX FASTLOAD cartridge.

The perfect yet pricy (for me) solution would be the Ultimate 1541 II-L cartridge.

Another one could be the Pi1541 but I haven't yet found any offer that can sell me the complete thing with the case ...

When I had a Twitter account I posted a photo of this.

It was my grandfathers.

Do you know what it is?
