Had 3 runs over the long weekend.

Sunday and yesterday being 4 miles each. Happy to report that my run yesterday was nearly 5 min faster!

I'm pushing for a sub 10:00 mile pace, with the long term goal of getting close to 9:00.

Wish me luck.

Brilliant post from Manu today.

Scubrats, now I'm going to be thinking about this constantly. 😂

@amin I like this post. But I feel like there's something missing...

I'll probably write something today, thanks for the inspiration:P

Something I miss from #MacOS: Being able to command-click on a Finder window's titlebar, and seeing a pop-up menu of the entire file path.

I can't find any convenient way of doing this in #KDE #Dolphin, other than making the window huge so it can show the entire path, which doesn't work with my workflow most of the time.

Just for the curious, the directory I'm working on now is 127 characters long (full path) and 8 directories deep from /

Edit: Found a solution, thanks to @Tionisla

joel,
@joel@fosstodon.org avatar

@RL_Dane Control+L should let you access the entire file path on any file manager in Linux

@RL_Dane oh wait you want to see it popup, well this shortcut will select it all and you can copy-paste wherever u want, not ideal I guess

So I've just been doing some tidying in the garage and I found this old #Compaq #Netbook. I've put it on charge, but do we think it will boot, and what OS do we think it's running?

I think I might have a bad influence on my coworkers, quite some time ago I started calling every women I didn't remember the name of Tante (aunt) and every man I don't remember the name of Onkel (uncle) and somehow it's spread, and I caught my manager telling me "I'll have to send it over to the auntie" :p

@sotolf sounds like Spanish to me

I’ve been on the lookout for a portable emulator device with hardware buttons for a while, and on a whim I placed an order for a Miyoo Mini Plus. What I received turned out to be an entirely different brand and model (Anbernic RG35XX Plus) which was a bit disappointing, but it seems to work so far! So now I’m replaying Diablo 1 (PS1 version). I’ve replaced the stock SD cards which seems to be a regular point of failure, but we’ll see how long it lasts as the build quality is fairly poor..

joel,
@joel@fosstodon.org avatar

@lundstroem it's a bit of a shame when sellers just don't care that these devices are indeed different.

But at least it's not the worst device ever, Anbernic is pretty alright as well, just worse stock software and build quality

I’m having way too much fun with this Miyoo Mini+. Installed this morning which adds so many useful features. Nice theme switcher where I found a fave, which you can see in the video.

Also got hooked up with RetroAchievements, a website that creates and tracks achievements in these old . This was $70 well spent and I’m just getting started! (Literally… with the original Legend of Zelda)

I don't know how I didn't even mention it before but I've been watching #Haikyuu this month and I just finished season 3!

Hopefully I'll be ready to watch the movie next weekend.

Playing around with a new homepage layout.

This was always the intention going between my 2022-23 design but for reasons it never eventuated...

It feels good to have a graphical element right there in your face as the page loads again.

Anyway, it's here now, check it out https://flamedfury.com/

I've played this for 9 hours, I'll admit I changed difficulty back to Normal, but it's still a rather challenging and rewarding game.

joel,
@joel@fosstodon.org avatar

I've played this for 12 hours. Yesterday I defeated the second "real boss" and it was great.

The whole game is so fun to explore to find every secret, the only thing I don't like are the hidden breakable walls, especially due to the lack of a long-range infinite attack.

The overall flow of the game is incredible. I think "I'll just explore this different direction since it cuts off quicker in the map" and boom. It opens up even more and connects it all!
