Why did the Narrm cryptobro stay on the heavily congested road?

He was driving down HODL Street.

Hey #btrfs nerds, what's the current best-practice strategy for migrating to a new (single) drive, without modifying the old drive, which will then be removed. Is it using seeding volumes?

@caitelatte@cloudisland.nz : Every one of our bookshelves is required to have a cat spot, and she gets very grumpy if it's occupied for any reason. ❤️

@caitelatte@cloudisland.nz : She's also the best reading companion.

Me: "I'm going to take my ADHD meds. I'm going to finally get these tasks done."

My brain: "Right! Time to hyperfocus on cataloguing every picture of Queen Felicia!"

Queen Felicia, a white and orange cat, helping inspect a partially constructed flatpack bookshelf. She's cute AF

Queen Felicia, an orange and white cat, peeking out from under a sheet. She's "helping" us make the bed.

Queen Felicia on the back of my chair, just gripping it in a giant hug, get head on her side and her eyes wild. She's excellent at hunting and catching this chair at my desk, especially when I'm at work.

Queen Felicia, looking very soft, curled up into a circle on a blanket. Her little paw is across her eyes. I love her so much.

With the kids away I spent the morning reorganising my box of cables and power adaptors (1980–2010). When I need to plug in a Tandy product, I'll be ready as I can be.

I feel like Hank Hill would be proud.

I went to find a picture of the Therac-25 to accompany a post about how software absolutely kills people, and that even the prospect of vibe-coded medical firmware is terrifying.

Anyway, the first picture returned was this vibe-drawn image and I am screaming inside.

A vibe-drawn line image of the Therac-25 radiation treatment device. At a glance it looks like a person might be in the machine, but they have only one foot, and their your torso looks like it's been replaced with a hand? This is the stuff of my nightmares.

Thanks everyone! I've purchased a second hand FrameWork 16, which should arrive next week.

This feels like the perfect sort of machine to get second hand, because if something isn't right it should be easy to replace. :)

The downside is now I have to learn about what NVMe drives are up to these days, and why different drives cost different amounts for the same capacity and form factor.

Hey friends,

Anyone have any experiences (good or bad) with FrameWork laptops that they'd like to share?

After keeping my old laptop running for ~9 years, I feel like I'm nearing the limits of what I can easily repair.

Thanks!
