I'm watching a trailer for a random John "The Dwayne" Rockson movie, where he drives a truck and rams smaller vehicles off the road... I REALLY want to play MotoStorm now!
I might finally get a PS3 again in 2 weeks 
There's a bunch of people who I don't talk to any more since I moved away...
And a few people I never met, who just stopped talking to me...
I miss the latter so much more 😭
Depression
I'm in one of those moods where I just want to lie in bed reread my favourite books (that's a bad mood, in case you're unfamiliar).
And for once that bad mood could have been avoided, if I had paid a bit more attention to what I was doing 😦

True software freedom for this age: you can get the source code of a service you use, and can set it up on your own server. You can also get all your data from the service, and migrate it to another service (hosted by you or someone else). Futher, all of this needs to be easy, fast, and cheap enough to be feasible, and there can't be "network effects" that lock you into a specific service instance.
Since I'm spending today restoring a backup... any recommendations for free, open source #backup software that works WELL with #Backblaze B2?
Also nice to have would be: Notifications on success and error, sensible defaults for ignoring chache files...
operating system/window manager rant
I complain a lot about how bad Windows 10 is (and it is VERY BAD!) but explorer.exe (do they still call it that?) is actually a better window manager than GNOME Shell...
Alright, #RPG crowd!
Does anybody want to join an online game? I'll GM!
~UTC 12:00 to 16:00, day is negotiable.
Probably using Roll20 and Discord, but I'm open to suggestions. No minis or grids, just "Theater of the Mind".
I have 2 campaigns in mind: You'll either play scavengers in a post-apocalyptic science-fantasy world, or super-villains trying to Escape From New York (where you were trapped by aliens)!
Yo #videogames crew!
Has any of you managed to use your PC as a #WiiU gamepad?
I can't get the software to work, and I don't even know where to start fixing it...
#Ineedhelp here 😅
Okay, I got it to tell me that it doesn't like my C++ compiler.
... wat?
I'm trying to install that "drc-sim" software that allows me to use my PC as a Wii U gamepad, but cmake ist just sitting there doing nothing 😦
Depression
It's got me in its jaws 
Not that there is anything specifically wrong with computerfairi.es!
The more I dive into this Mastodon thing, the more I want to run my own instance? 😅
But last I read, moving accounts isn't a thing yet, so I'll very probably will be too lazy to do that.
Also... I shouldn't take responsibility for things, ever.
Thanks to @Baxter for pointing out that using '\b' instead of '\s' also makes it work at the end of toots!
I have noticed that having a clean flat has a significant positive effect on my mood, but I still can't get off my butt and keep it clean...
So I've decided to try having ONE room that I try my best to keep clean and orderly!
Of course, there are a lot of things I need to do to get it there 😅
Note that this ONLY mutes toots that CONTAIN these phrases, it does NOT mute USERS 😅
In case anyone is curious:
'.*' means "any character 0 or more times"
'\s' means "any whitespace character", so that names like "@hungrybotanist" or "@someoneelse" won't be filtered
If you only wanted to filter out "word" but not "words", you could also put a '\s' after that.
Sadly, that WON'T work if it's at the END of a toot, since the ending apparently doesn't count as whitespace. 🤔
There might be a workaround for that, I'll have to look into that.
Okay, I THINK I figured out how the filter thingy here works.
1. Click the Settings icon on the top right of a column
2. Scroll down to 'Advanced'
3. Put a text like this in the 'Filter out by regular expressions' box:
@.*bot\s|@someone\s|some word|more words
^ This would mute ALL toots that CONTAIN
1. usernames that end in 'bot' (but not ones that have 'bot' in the middle)
2. user @someone
3. words 'some word'
4. words 'more words'
Sadly it can't seem to filter out emoji like 
labour politics, Germany
I just read an article how craftspeople are lacking qualified personell.
And one of the "offers" they try to "tempt" people with to work for them is... raises that match the inflation rate.
Not exceed. Match. That's a special deal now!
🤣 / 😭
