Spotify. Been using it since 2008

Work: Pretty chill in general, but especially nowadays
Family: Kids are healthy and growing
Hobbies: I’ve reconnected with some earlier hobbies of mine and rediscovered why I loved it to begin with.
Household: Almost done refurbishing this one room.
Money: Perfect storm of good news, such as tax return, expense claim payout, and misc other things result in me finally being able to afford a much needed car upgrade.

All in all, slightly better than usual

Estimated usefulness compared up against practicality. Of course you want it where people are, and at yhe same time you want the bus to be able to stop without obstructing traffic.

I’d leave the clone part out

It is. Powerful enough for everything I do and then some, while at the same time being surprisingly lightweight and portable for when I’m out and about.

Lenovo Legion 2024, i7, nv4060, 32GB RAM.
Best laptop I’ve ever bought.
First thing I did after opening the box was nuke the harddrive and install linux mint. Everything worked out of the box, including the Lenovo hotkeys for changing between cooling/performance schemas.

I’d call a friend and say “I’m victorious on all fronts”, or something to that effect, but I’d do so in incredibly bad German, a language I barely speak (Ich an alle fronten siegt?). That way he’d easily get my reference to late stage WW2 nazi propaganda and know that the situation is extremely dire.

I’d even go as far as saying he wrangles.

What’s your favorite dinosaur? 🦕

Routing tables. I thought I understood them until I suddenly found my self in charge of setting up a rather large network with multiple routers and VPN tunnels.

Nothing teaches you proper routing like having to juggle 50 static routes.

A combination. Depends on the area/topic, really.

At home, it’s a disorganized collection of locally organized systems. The degree of organization depends on how much I care about each individual area.

At work it’s mostly disorganized, but that’s mostly the nature of the job itself. I thrive in this environment, as it’s pretty chaotic in nature, and my part of it is basically making sure that it works anyhow. I’m pretty nazi when it comes to IP assignments, as the routing tables are very organized. But I don’t give two shits about the cabling, as that changes every few weeks anyway.

Do Golems Dream of Concrete Sheep?

I’d totally watch a Blade Runner based on that book instead.

Payday on Tuesday. Hopefully it’ll be substantial enough for me to buy a much needed new car. Either way I’m buying myself a beer.

But that constitutes alcohol abuse

Considering some of the flatmates I’ve had, I don’t think the two are mutually exclusive.

Be sure to reserve enough time

I think the damage was caused by feral hogs, not fire.

Dutch with nukes. May the lords and ladies have mercy.

Not directly, but it does carry a similar vibe.

I would say SOYCD intro is more similar to the intro of Dream Theater - Octavarium. Shouldn’t be surprising because the former was part of the inspiration for the latter.
