No Hurry Anymore

T seems like a perfect day to be out. A cool day with such a sunny start (we come back in the later afternoon anyway) is a good start for a special birthday.

Not Having Code of Conduct Does Not Mean Nobody Gets Banned

HREE years ago we kickbanned a number of connected individuals from Techrights IRC because illegal things had been done. 2 years later a judge at the UK High Court acknowledged that bad things had been done; the issue was, there was a burden of proof put on us to show evidence of attribution and Tor was used by the perpetrators (several of them in the mix).

Yesterday: Offline Birthdays

City 2-1 Bournemouth: Brief Highlights

HE official highlights have just come out. Many chances. Many missed.

When Butterflies Come Visit

T is quite an ecstatic atmosphere here around the stadium, not just because it’s early (4PM still very bright in August) but also sunny and the dramatic win not too long ago resonates in the minds of people. I’ve just seen some butterflies coming by and Bottle sits on the door handle.

They Fought ‘Til the End

HE change of style of the local “Viking” (born here) might impact the looks or hairstyle of locals. I myself inadvertently imitated Haaland’s style, but I think I’ll stay with what I have. It’s not hard to manage.

I Never Claimed to be a Medical Doctor

think there are many people in society that are imposters and very well know they are imposters. So what bothers them most are critics and people who expose that they’re imposters, as those latter people represent a risk to them. Sometimes those are colleagues.

A “Pep” Deja Vu

he team without Bernardo, KDB, Rodri and others is still failing to deliver. It made a comeback against Atlético Madrid, then suffered a humiliating defeat to Arsenal. Both away from the local stadium.

Focusing More on GNU/Linux, as It Grows Fast This Summer

N the modest local market we buy almost everything. We pay with cash, we enjoy every moment of it unless it’s rainy, and we can return things if they’re faulty (provided we know the vendor and choose a reliable one based on reputation/pedigree/word of mouth).

Signal-to-Noise Ratio

HE term “s/n ratio” (shorthand for the above) is short, simple, and catchy. It implies we should strive for quality, not quantity, or at least for relevance.
