Still remember playing WoW on under 5Mbps, updating was painful but otherwise playing was fine

Just have a safety vent. But I thought they cooled off within days, not months?

Love my heat pump, although its not AC. In the UK if you get ground/air to water the government give you £7.5k towards it. Air to air you get nothing. I suppose it is quieter, but for the 2/3 days in summer where it goes over 30°c having AC would be nice.

What counts as a modern game? Been playing CDDA lately which is still in active development, does that mean it’s modern? Certainly isn’t AAA though. Been thinking of opening a pull request soon, had some small ideas the game could do with.

Is there a decent way of doing that in the GUI in windows? One of the more common commands I use at work which is the only time I use Windows. Rather than the PowerShell I usually use WSL for it currently because there are usually a few other things I will want to do after as well.

He is still bad at it

I go with do a meaningless job that requires minimal effort and is low stress while trying to maximise free time and the energy I have available to enjoy my free time. I don’t need lots of money, working from home I can often go for a bike ride before or after work, or in lunch breaks. In summer I have often gone to the beach for a swim before work and sat on the stones cooking breakfast with a camping stove.

My job has no real meaning, the pay is shit, but WFH + low stress is easily worth it

What is the typical power consumption of the steamdeck when in use? If you wanted to get an approximation as to how long a battery would last for. Also how much is efficiency likely to matter? If it was 30W and you had a 30Wh battery how likely is a 1 hour lifespan going to be? Would efficiency just be a rounding error or something like cut in half.

Only the bad ones. We have had a lot of those recently.

Well I voted for a 3rd party candidate in the UK election, how slow American elections are is rather amusing to me. You were campaigning this time last year and the new government hasn’t yet taken power. Meanwhile ours was all done in a few weeks.

That is pretty much my experience when I have to use a windows machine at work. Sorry, the powershell command is how long? Just got this from ChatGPT, no idea if it works and I am not booting windows to test it.

Bash: grep -iRl “test”

Powershell: Get-ChildItem -Recurse | Select-String -Pattern “test” -CaseSensitive:$false | Select-Object -ExpandProperty Path -Unique

If it doesn’t run on Linux because of intrusive anti-cheats you probably shouldn’t install it anyway.

Linux represents those that are free

Yep, but the second best time would be now.

I quit before virtue signalling was a term that people used to describe things they don’t like. I wonder what he would have called it back around 2012?

Got a few demijohns filled in my loft with experiments.

1: Sourdough starter brew, nothing fancy just a test for what brewing with sourdough starter as a yeast source might be like. 2: Inverted sugar, see if inverted sugar makes much difference 3: Honestly forgot what went into this one, it looks more active than the others though. It has some bits of fruit floating in it. Really should write this stuff down next time.

Finally while not exactly brewing, I have a large bag of sloe berries that I really want to infuse with gin at some point, but need to get enough gin. Probably fill a demijohn with it because I have them so may as well.
