Hey.
Yeah, you.
You need to clean your reusable water bottle.
It's f*cking filthy and probably a health hazard.

TIL: to uncomment the `#ParallelDownloads = 5` setting in `/etc/pacman.conf` on Arch Linux and change the number to something higher, assuming your Internet connection is half decent. 8 working nicely for me, but may tinker.
Thank me later.

It's *basically* been raining non-stop for three weeks and I somehow went down two rabbit holes, Laravel and SQLite. Yep. Like it's 2014.
OK, there was also a Hyprland / Waybar ricing rabbit hole.
I need sunlight.

@wibble.world As far as I can tell, [email protected] doesn't belong on your Furries ban list?

Los científicos descubrieron una pequeña mantis religiosa de 30 millones de años atrapada dentro de un trozo de ámbar transparente en la República Dominicana.
Se descubrió que era del período Oligoceno, lo que la sitúa entre unos 23 y 33,9 millones de años.

It's pouring with rain [for about the eighth straight day] & there is not a single thing in this entire apartment that one could even vaguely describe as a "biscuit". Like, to dunk in a coffee. Nothing. Not even a "cookie" nor protein bar I could pretend with. I shit you not. It's a travesty.

😮 Bluesky pro-tip: in the accessibility settings, you can enforce that the images you post must have alt text.

This is important for folks who use screen readers. Instead of seeing the image, the supplied text will be read to them instead.

If you doubt that small things can bring you joy: upon fetching a slow-cooker from the "high cupboard" for the SO three days ago, I found a stash of ~200 PG Tips Pyramid Tea Bags sealed inside since our pandemic apartment move & let me assure you, as an Englishman abroad that joy is very f*ckin real

If you don't care what the end result looks like, those home hair-cutting kits are a real money saver.

You should probably put your phone down too.
But not until you listened to this, obviously
