Earthquake. My brother was sleeping next to me, so got him in between our beds, which I went above him in a four leg stand. Told him “I might not make it if the building crumbles, but you will”. Realistically, we’re in a high floor apartment so that chance is really slim, but back then I didn’t really have much of a choice.
The building we had thankfully didn’t collapse and we are still alive. Though a noticable amount of buildings around us did.


It’s crazy to think this was 10 years ago


North Africa. We have South Africa as a country, but not North Africa.


Open Sudoku is neat if you like Sudoku.
I was experimenting with Linux for a long time, but haven’t migrated fully. W11 was the breaking point for me. Everything built with unnecessarily heavy Electron making the user experience much slower than W10 pretty much forced my hand.


Imagine how you look up a website as calling someone from a phone number, but everyone can only use addresses that go like 123.45.67.89. You can always call them through there, but that would be really hard to memorize. DNS gives dynamic names to these numbers, so when you ask for google.com; they take the request before and say “oh, google.com? That links to this number, so here you go”
There is a company called WHOIS that is entirely dedicated to keep records of this name list, but not all DNS’s use it fully, as an example when adblocking DNS’s gets told to pull something from a site that has ads, the DNS doesnt give the number of ad services back to the browser, but gives the rest of them. As a result, you do not see the ads.


I still do, the problem is most of them fall under the category “Internet” and “Internet Alts”
Other folders are “API Keys”, “Locally Hosted”, “IRL”, “Cards/Banking”, “Wi-Fi” which are really situational and I don’t need to add stuff to them often.


The fascination to Mohammed is because he’s the last prophet sent by Allah, similar to how christians portray Jesus (not exactly the same since Christians believe Jesus and the Holy Spirit is also similar to God, whereas in Islam prophets are just messengers of Allah, and cannot be compared to Allah.)


I’ve packed some food with in a freeze bag alongside some frozen water bottles in it to keep it cool. But appearently water is not allowed within a size limitation, and that somehow includes ice. I’ve had to argue for 10 minutes about what is solid/fluid and they eventually let me keep it.
Did you know there exists 1200 kinds of bamboo? Let’s cover up the whole world with them instead of datacenters :D



it’s a straight downgrade for me, so no way I’d replace it as my daily driver.
I could consider one if the prices go down like below 600$ range, switch up my media center with it maybe. Impossible with the current prices though.


I have waited quite a lot to get GTA 5 on a sale, and eventually got it for free (Epic giveaway).
I could wait the same time for a %75 sale.

Lazer client works native on Linux, and is perfectly suitable to play with. Lower audio latency on both Windows (WASAPI) and Linux (runs native and not via Wine) is a pretty solid reason why most people prefer it, but the interface isn’t as skinnable as Stable is currently and slider head accuracy is confusing for some old players, but other than that there isn’t any reason not to use Lazer.
