Everyone is asking where "Sneepsnop" comes from

it's the nonsense word from that tumblr post about how to cheer yourself up in the darkest times, with the answer being to hold your nose and say "sneep snop" and it would make you giggle to yourself cuz it sounds silly

and also "she wears snort snirt I wear sneep snop"

this has been The Philosophy Of Sneepsnop you get 1 credit towards your degree in sneepsnopology

Secret Sneepsnop Gift Ideas:

* Adorable attempt at drawing someone's fursona
* Record yourself singing a song you wrote or just a popular song you change the lyrics about
* Gift a cheap game from steam or humblebumble that's cheesey and pertains to their interests or a joke about them
* Make a gamezine in pico8
* Write a very touching letter about their positive qualities
* Make a bot based on or inspired by their posts

Sneepsnop gifts are meant to be silly, cheap, and fun. It's about the exchange!!

#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!

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.
