I just bought double-edged razor blades, 100 for 7€.
That's 7 cent per blade (I think).

These should last me about 10 YEARS, for 7€!

The only thing I regret not switching earlier from those overpriced plastic-pieces-of-junk cartridge razors to old-fashioned all-metal safety razors. 😁

I still have some commissions uploaded as PNG in my online galleries because, well, "lossless is good" and all.

But I think I'll finally replace them with 90 - 95% JPGs because I can REALLY not see any difference with them and I assume the people browsing the gallery will appreciate having 800KB traffic/downloads instead of 9MB per image. πŸ˜…
Even 100% JPGs of them barely have more than 1MB.

Will also make just browsing it more pleasant with slow connections.

I'll get to that tomorrow, maybe.

@ubo I personally think we should be open towards "new" formats like that. People often hate on WebP and WebM because I guess they still think in the days where software support was horrible.

So, I'm personally open for it.

In my specific image case WebP is still about 1MB bigger without any perceivable, visual improvement and, well, at least one site doesn't support it, so, JPG it is.

But I'm generally not opposed to adopting new stuff, as long as it's a free and open standard. πŸ™‚

Mhh, Proton Calendar still seems to not have an "import birthdays" and "import holidays" function, meh. 😒

Will people think "oh I'm switching to Linux because I don't like ads on Windows"?

No. They don't even know #Linux exists.

It's been about three days since the Nintendo Network for WiiU and 3DS was shut down.

In case you haven't heard of it, the folks of "Pretendo Network" can help ya stay online and play your games, given you have a homebrew-running device.

Once again a great example how dedicated open-source people can keep things alive. β™₯️

Oh, talking about Fairphone, as the Fairphone 5 reminded me of it:

I want more electronics to offer transparent cases so you can see the circuit boards and shit again.

I loved this even with the classic GameBoy and GameBoy Color. β™₯

Watching speedruns will never not be crazy to me. 😁

Seeing people complete a full NES game in under 10 minutes is crazy impressive and I could never have the concentration, dedication and motivation for it. 😁

One of the things I miss on Mastodon from Twitter is people posting Sam & Max (from the Point and Click adventure series) gay shipping pics under the hashtag.

That was a fun thing and fandom on Twitter.

I'd love to start that here, but I'm not an artist and I'll not randomly start posting images I didn't draw myself. (or, well, were drawn for me, at least.) πŸ˜…

@BryanGreyson@social.tchncs.de avatar

I finished "RΓΆki".
It's a very nice "point and click adventure" with Nordic mythology and really beautiful locations.

I enjoyed the style and story.

If you're currently looking for more adventures like it, it's currently discounted and you can buy it through my Humble Bundle link to give me and charity a bit of money and yourself a very nice game:

Content warnings for the game:
Children being hurt by fantasy violence, death of a family member

Alright, my calories counter and food thingy subscription was still active and I get discount from my workplace for that online fitness thingy I used in the past!

Time to lose those 15 kilos or something!

I'll be off to "NordicFuzzCon" in Sweden tomorrow.

First time I'll be in Sweden. We'll see how often I'll go on people's nerves about how cash gives you more privacy and anonymity even if you are NOT a criminal. 😁

Anyway, thus it might be possible I'll be writing about it more frequently along the next week.

Feel free to mute the corresponding hashtag if you want to be left alone about it:

Or, well, follow it for more fun. 😁

Ich habe gerade fΓΌr nen 20er Call Of Duty Black Ops Cold War gekauft.

Bin gespannt wie gut mir die Kampagne gefΓ€llt. MP und Zombies interessieren mich nicht; daher ignoriere diese Teile des Spiels.

Der Speicherhunger ist allerdings auch dann nicht zu verachten.
Kampagne plus hochauflâsende Inhalte belegen 175GB Speicherplatz😯
Wenn ich alles installieren würde, wÀre ich sogar bei 231GB🀯.

@the_white_wolf Und dann spiele ich sporadisch mal wieder ein SNES Spiel und bin beeindruckt, wie alle Modelle, Musik und Gegnerverhalten in 1MB gepasst haben. 😁

(NatΓΌrlich grafisch kein Vergleich!
Aber ist so rein geschichtlich trotzdem voll interessant, wie sich alles entwickelt hat, finde ich.)

I'm generally really bad at platformer games and such, but I wonder if I'll ever complete the Animaniacs SNES game, because damn, everything was so fast!

Also, the introduction of actual save-files instead of long passwords to write down was a nice point in videogame history. πŸ˜…

I just finished DuckTales (2017) season 2!

The end battle was awesome and damn, the scene at the VERY END, oh gosh! This show is SO MUCH fan service (not in the anime fanservice way of showing boobs and butts, sadly^^), it's incredible!

I'd have never thought a DuckTales series could have so much story, twists and character development!

I need more crossover shows with stuff like that!

On to season 3! ☺️

BryanGreyson,
@BryanGreyson@social.tchncs.de avatar

@evi I didn't watch it for, well, six years because I really didn't like what they did to some of my childhood-characters, style-wise.

Like, Scrooge and Donald and such are fine, but I felt especially "insulted" by characters like for example Don Karnage.

But like with the "new" 101 Dalmatians show, I knew I'd give it a try at some point.

And I have to say, as expected, the writing is REALLY good, so, I'll get used to the designs.

BryanGreyson,
@BryanGreyson@social.tchncs.de avatar

@evi YES!
Also, Webby is love. β™₯

I love all the crossover stuff and I'll gladly accept all the stuff as canon, including stuff like Darkwing's new origin story and such.

BUT of course, as usual, things with so much potential have already ended!

@kuketzblog Der ganze Anfang hat gut funktioniert, aber beim Start mit

nohup /home/pi/snowflake/proxy/proxy > /home/pi/snowflake/proxy/snowflake.log 2>&1 &

sagt er dann

"home/pi/snowflake/proxy/snowflake.log: No such file or directory"

selbst dann nicht, wenn ich die datei einmal mit "touch snowflake.log" manuell erstellt habe.

Ich bin offensichtlich zu doof für Konsolenkram. 😭
