A fox. It (I don’t know whether male or female) was in a city. It didn’t seem too fearful of people, so I tried following it. When we got to a darker area it sat down, and so did I.

When it got up, I followed it, ending up on volleyball playground. With sand. The fox started running around in it. I noticed it would kick some sand, then jump there.
So I squat down, and threw a handful of sand to the side. This did work. It approached me to arm’s reach, but would spring away at any movement. I accidentally scared it off when the fox circled very closely around me and I turned around - I was worried about getting peed on. Foxes do that a lot.

Some 40 minutes later, I lost it at a construction site.

I completely lost the sight of it after I circled around to enter there.

Anyway, not a picture, but I also have some bit of video:

All is B&W because I used IR camera. I don’t know how much of that foxes see, but I hope it’s at least far less than if I used regular flash.

Try it in a (proper) computer. I’ve had a phone complain, but it mounted on Linux. And after whatever magic fsck.fat does, it mounted on phone too.
I also had a SanDisk fail read-only.

I’ve been checking around the used market for DDR4. It seems used ECC DDR4 sticks are now cheaper due to low demand.

Time to make a compromise by buying the cheapest €130 8GB stick.

We have that available, I just use mobile data because I disagree with their ToS.
The ToS is so restrictive that you basically immediately break it after connecting a device. I was told that, of course, they don’t really care.
Except - there is a point stating the provider has the right to access your computer if there is a suspicion of ToS violation. Considering the network here is a student-run organization, that could easily be exploited if you piss off someone.
Maybe I am just paranoid, but no thanks.

Otherwise, from talking with them, most dorms have 1Gbit, some have 2.5Gbit, and all share a 40Gbit link which could apparently do 100Gbit (I think), but it’s capped due to licensing.
They leverage national academic network.
Oh, and they also got a class B subnet back when everyone was sure there’s just way too many IPv4s, so NAT isn’t being used here.

That was where I went “holy hell”. Wearing out ports is something I am constantly quite scared of when plugging things in. Especially things like cables when they want to twist vertically, but the port is horizontal, and, well, it’s a thick cable, so…

Literally. Repairability used to be expected.

It even knows when you discover features by accident

Having exposed brain probably lead to significant damages to it.

When I tried PulseAudio over network in addition to VNC I just got a really choppy unusable audio.
I just gave up and restored to streaming audio with VLC.

And even if you don’t care, if you have an old machine booting from a HDD, the process at least isn’t so boring.

Yeah, just reminded me of this.

Choice is good. Back when smartphones were still small (3 - 4 inches), I instead bought a 7" tablet with modem and used it as a phone. It was still small enough to fit in a pocket.

You can get that in most Chinese phones. The IR blaster, that is.
There’s even some brands that have crazy phones, like Unihertz, Doogee and Ulefone. You can even get one with a projector.

Unihertz specifically makes special phones.

If I can get GrapheneOS + headphone jack + SD card slot, I am in.
