@cypnk Ctrl key on the home row WHERE IT'S MEANT TO BE DAMNIT

I'll give you the Esc key placement though

@shekkiesqueaks also *pets*

@shekkiesqueaks basic idea is that your travel router connects to the hotel wifi, then you connect your stuff to the travel router

travel router has a vpn client on it that connects via the hotel wifi to your vpn server out in the internet somewhere

all the traffic it receives from your stuff it shoves through the vpn connection to the vpn server so all the hotel network sees is encrypted traffic

@Jo what they'd like people to think: "YOU CAN CLEAN A HAIRDRYER?! Why would anyone do that?"

@Jo no excuse, they just find it more profitable to have people buy new things when they break

@Jo I can get behind this, more things need to be easily repairable

My cat, Fizziwig, had to have a few stitches on a wound today so he's got to wear one of those collars so he won't do any damage cleaning himself

He's really not happy about it the poor sod

Coolest thing at Baselworld this year, the Urwerk AMC

It's a mechanical watch that is set, regulated, and wound by an actual honest to god atomic clock

It is hella cool

@technomancergoddess I use MPD with NCMPCPP as a frontend, works nicely for me

Heard good things about Clementine if you want something with a GUI

@technomancergoddess Hey alpha! Welcome!

"Okay, fine, we'll form a consortium to try and sort this shit out"

"Japan what are those?"

"Fine, we'll add them and nobody will care"

"Right, so after eight hours of meetings about emoji can we finally talk about character sets? No? Damn it"

@squirrel always happy to help

@squirrel roasting has happened, but nobody has yet performed the coup de grâce

@KitRedgrave@glitch.social @sydneyfalk @dredmorbius @zatnosk @squirrel you could go and complain, just drive there in your coupé

@dredmorbius @zatnosk @squirrel possibly some gâteau instead

Either way, bon appétit

@squirrel @zatnosk @dredmorbius maybe you should take a break and go to a café and think about what you just said

Maybe have an éclair while you're there, you should find it on the à la carte menu
