@cassolotl@cybre.space I started mine in January and think it will last until December so it will have lasted at least one year (it's also a Leuchtturm).

#bulletjournaling today i watched a YT video and the person had a monthly wish list, directly next to their goals/todo-list. how great is that? I made one for my november setup too, to make sure I fit in some me-time and stuff for myself and time with friends the coming month!
@NerdResa Thanks for the tip. Hope I find time to have a look soon.

There is a new wireless daemon for Linux called iwd, developed by Intel to be an alternative to wpa_supplicant. It is meant to be more lightweight, e.g. to run on embedded devices. Also, I think it should be more consistent in its view of the wireless network status, as I learned in the talk at the "All Systems Go" conference.
I just checked out and compiled the code: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/network/wireless/iwd.git/about/
It's released under LGPL.
@maunzikation Kissen oder Decke in den Rücken? Sieht jedenfalls sehr gemütlich aus :D
I loved the limited space on a tape because it's just the perfect fit for my autistic brain which is in love with repetition ^^ Yes I like loops and short playlists so this is just perfect.
I could of course burn audio to CD and then use my old player/recorder for the cd->tape part. Or I could try to get a walkman with a 3.5mm line in and connect it to the PC.
It's not magic I just need a walkman now!
I'm one of those now I guess 
I still have an old CD and tape player and recorder thing and old mixtapes. But I would really love a portable player again.
There are those tape to usb/mp3 converter things out there. But I would love to be able to convert in the other direction. mp3 to tape.
I want a walkman now.
@maunzikation @minx This! I have an old reader with no integrated light in the screen, just e-ink. It is really much closer to reading a book instead of from a glowing screen. But even with lights it's different.

obligatory comment: physical things fall apart in obvious ways, "digital" things deteriorate in often unnoticed ways http://xkcd.com/1909/#
preserving interactivity is the challenge; various communities (some unknowingly) made progress. I wrote about it: https://figshare.com/articles/Evaluating_Interactive_Archives/5483836 https://mastodon.social/media/tBGUrcFwf50RfyeEqzk

@NerdResa But somehow this is exactly what makes C so exciting and fun to use ^^ That's when you like the feeling of doom and not writing code that could do real damage.
