Currently in Japan sick in my hotel room. The vomiting and diarrhea seems to have subsided and I can actually keep food down now. I’m just resting and eating little bits hoping to get better by tonight so I can go out.
SO has been complaining about his (admittedly terrible) old laptop dying so I’m installing linux mint over the old Windows 10. He’s not a tech-minded person so I’m keen to see what he thinks of it.
I’m still running updates and installing a couple of extra drivers but it’s definitely much snappier than what he had before. And his Logitech trackball now has a battery meter in the system tray, which it didn’t on windows, so it’s possible he’ll end up preferring linux.
Stoned and playing in the shed today making a replica eames lounge chair phone holder out of steam bent laminated victorian ash wood veneer and eva foam.
I’ll be sure to post when it’s done… Is there a NZ DIY community yet?
Nah, not that I know of. We don’t have the userbase to break down into lots of communities. As it’s probably not NZ-related enough, probably !offtopic would be the best community we have for it so far.
I’ve started keeping a list of NZ related communities (on our instance and on others), which you can find here: lemmy.nz/post/63156
My kid’s woke me up at 6am this morning, I had too much bordeaux last night and played league of legends for first time in a long while so went to bed late “grumblegrumble”. Since I was slightly hungover and awake I made egg soldiers for breakfast for everyone then did a quick HIIT workout with my wife to sweat out some toxins and then put on a slow cooker pork roast. Now I’m hiding in the office while the kids rampage.!!! :-)
League of Legends! Of boy, that takes me back. I think it must have been a decade since I last played. I used to play almost every day for a year or so.
Good weekend so far. Got up and did some house cleaning, even got to open up the doors and windows for a bit before the wind made it a bit too cold. Got a good friend group coming over like we do every Sunday afternoon, just a chill day at home. No school for the kids this week, so routine will be a bit off.
Man I really hate my XPS13. Had it for a few years now, and Sleep & Hibernation are always so hit and miss. THey will wake themselves up and then crash more often than not.
Yeah, I’m not looking forward to changing either. I really value Long Battery Life and decent performance, but don’t game.
Partners got a m2 Macbook Air, and I’m leaning that way more and more now (though the last time I had a macbook, I didn’t really gel with it for some reason).
Yeah, my challenge is I play games casually so need windows based system. My partner is fully engulfed in the apple ecosystem, mainly because her work is.
There are comments all over the 'verse echoing the same sentiments. I saw a thread this morning asking for karma to be displayed and the feedback was a resounding NOOO, which I’m taking as a good sign.
Morena. Heat pump is going and I’m on my second coffee. Hope everyone is keeping warm this morning, I don’t think we quite had a frost but that was probably to do with the wind than anything else.
Warmed up enough in Ōtautahi to open the doors and windows for a bit when doing some morning cleaning. A bit of a breeze made it too chilly though. Supposed to get cold again soon after the sun goes down, so we will be running the heat pumps too I assume.
I only recently got into English breakfast, and I must say there are times when I crave it. Having it milk almost makes it feel like a meal. Quite a heavy (don’t know what to call it) drink.
