Iceland seems ok…

Thanks, I probably will change soon, but I have to convince my partner first…

If you don’t want to get thrown in prison don’t go publicly criticising the government of the country you’re in that throws people in prison for criticising the government.

People don’t understand that by spending money in a country, you’re supporting the government and system of that country. And you have to behave according to their rules. I won’t willingly go to countries whose systems I don’t agree with so I don’t support them, but so many people say Qatar airways is so nice, and forget about the oppression of women and the whole slavery and dead workers for the world cup there.

I know my money isn’t worth shit to them, but I won’t give it to them anyway.

If you don’t agree with the way they treat people, don’t go there.

Motion on my RPI. I didn’t want it to save videos or photos, so I turned it off in the config. But it still saved them. So I tried a few other places in the config to turn it off, but nothing worked and I’d run out of space within a day. So I changed the save directory to /dev/null.

Then I tried to upgrade the pi, and the new version of motion has a different config, incompatible with the old one. So I’m running the old one.

Ok, gramps. I blocked TeamViewer on the router to stop scammers.

Two months later, gramps has a small problem with the internet connection. The first thing the helpdesk tells him to do is factory reset the router.

Gramps gets scammed through TeamViewer.

During summer you get the efficiency boost for being continuously active.

Not on the poles?

I struggle with this all the time. I hate watching cute piggy videos because I remember them next time I eat bacon.

A friend recently went to the funeral of their brother, who similarly took mushrooms with a history of depression and alcohol abuse. He believed he had killed someone, and the guilt made him take his own life.

Stay safe people.

What’s the breed on that cutie?

shakes hand I ran out of toilet paper at 3am, but it keeps on coming out.

Yeah… Usually I just check the price to see if I can sauna or not. It’s by far the biggest user of power in my apartment.

Aussie in Finland here. We have an electricity system here with “spot price”. I get charged a price per kWh depending on the forecasted supply (from producers) and demand (from history and other math) and it changes every hour. At the time of writing this it is 0.60 c/kWh (+margin+transmission+taxes for a total of 7.87c/kWh).

When demand is higher, like winter, and supply is lower (maintenance or faults or no wind), the price can go up to 30-50c, but when there is plenty of power about the energy price can go into negatives.

This makes an effect on usage and stabilises the system. But probably too hard to set up.

I got a ban on Facebook for using the word “fatty”. Didn’t matter I was talking about the breakdown of fatty acids in digestion, because “fatty” is bad.

I take trips to Tallinn. Beautiful city. I use the car share apps there for convenience. Pick up a car and park wherever. I get to try out many different cars, if only for a while. I hate touch screens. One even was set with brightness to zero and I was unable to change it.

Dials and knobs for everything please.

And to all the cyclists who use a bright led lamp on their handlebar, remember to also point them down, not straight ahead. I’ve been blinded as a pedestrian and a driver by cyclists who don’t position their lights correctly.

You can grow your wheat, and raise pigs, but to really make it from scratch, first you need to create the universe.

That’s a dog’s name.

So Biden could assassinate Trump and the courts just shrug?
