shaving
I've got really sensitive face skin so I've tried a lot of different razors through the years to try and find one that doesn't make me look like I've lost a fight with a cheesegrater
I've tried electric shavers, I've tried multi-bladed contraptions, I've tried highly adjustable stainless steel double edge razors
Y'know the one that's worked best so far?
A 99p travel razor made out of chinese pot metal with 10p astra blades
The trailer for The Man Who Killed Don Quixote has been released

I'm still not going to believe it's coming out until after I've finished watching it
@squirrel here's the most useful thing I've found so far on the "making your wm pretty" front
https://github.com/grassmunk/Platinum9
It's got a theme for xfce, icons, and gtk2
It won't cover everything because linux has 3 different ui toolkits which all have to be themed differently because of course it fucking does but it might be a good start?
confession
people have tried to explain to me what the hell wayland is before
they have failed
tip of the day: computer fairies is an actively moderated safe space for queer and furry folks that does not tolerate any sort of discrimination
(you don't need to be queer or furry to join us!)
๐ฎ here's another Casio PCB-replacement, this one for a calculator watch. The author reports โจ5โจ years of battery life. And it's got a heckin' ham radio built-in! https://goodwatch.org
These two modded watches, one with a reverse-polarization LCD hack, in front of a GPD Pocket! This is just pornographic ๐ณ
TYVM @rrix for the link!
๐ค The circuitry inside a Casio watch isn't too complex, maybe I could measure it and manufacture a replacement with more features.
Oops somebody already did it! Way better than I would have!
The "Pluto" watch, which re-purposes the case and LCD from a Casio F91-W, includes a compass, infrared programming, RTTTL ringtone (musical) alarms, generates RFC 6238 one-time passwords, open source, and runs for a year on a standard watch battery! Wow!! ๐ฎ
more cybrepnuk than Pebble imho
Full-stack developer, been working with the web since the 90s. #HTML, #CSS, #Javascript, #Python, #PHP, enough #Ruby and #Node to get myself into trouble. #LAMP is fine but other stacks are fine too; I'm a quick learner.
Any position is okay; I've been out of the office for a while and I''d be happy doing just about anything as long as the income is stable.
