Just edited the first photos I've taken with the Fujifilm, and I am even more impressed at what this camera can do

I have finally made the move to mirrorless!
Despite being a Nikon user for years I decided to get a Fujifilm camera, mostly because of lens prices.
I have to say that I am very impressed with this little machine, I cannot wait to have some fun with it

Today I spent some time organizing my local music library on my macbook and my desktop pc, in hope of slowly detaching myself from online streaming.
I must say that seeing it come together has been really satisfying

It just told me the date was set before 2008, the rest of the computer worked just fine.
Does it do anything when you try turning it on or is it just dead?

Finally managed to get a new PRAM battery for my 2006 MacBook Pro and it’s finally up and running again with Snow Leopard, I thought I would never see the day

After Spotify, I decided to give the same treatment to the Office icons.
The original ones are just logos on a white background, so I extended the design to the icon's margins using Inkscape and exported them to Icon Composer for the glass effect.

A month ago I decided to try making homemade #soap using olive oil and coconut oil, with a bit of eucalyptus essential oil.
I am very happy with the result, I made enough soap bars for me and a few friends and even ordered more silicone molds to give it different shapes.
Will definitely try again.

Soap bars made using olive oil, coconut oil, lye and water, using a so called "cold process" recipe

The soap bars wrapped in paper and twine, with a bit of sealing wax to give it some flair

I didn't like the fact that the Spotify logo didn't fill the entire icon like other macOS apps, so I tried making it myself using the Icon Composer.
I think it would look much better if they went for something like this.

After a few different tries I finally managed to get a good audio quality on one of my tapes while recording some bossa nova.
Now that I understand how to make it work I’m thinking of going for some LoFi next, since it would fit the cassette aesthetic really well

Gaming discourse online has become insufferable no matter the topic and I wish not to participate in any of it anymore.
I just want to play video games without a constant ringing of complaints in my ears.

The next thing I’m gonna show you today is this new addition to my #vintage computers collection.
It’s a 2006 #MacBook Pro armed with a dual core Intel CPU and 2 whole gigabytes of RAM.
It only runs using the charger, since the battery is dead, and it probably also needs a new PRAM battery.

I haven’t updated this account in a while, so the first thing I’m gonna show you is this awesome little console I got off of AliExpress called #R36S.
It runs #Linux (ArkOS) and supports a ton of emulators through #RetroArch.
I have been using it to play #Pokémon Emerald and I love it so much.

Switched terminal of choice to kitty on both my PC and the MacBook, and also updated the fastfetch config on the latter.
I really like kitty, it takes much more advantage of the hardware and it has a lot of integrated features that really come in handy.

I’ve been wanting a dedicated #music device for years now, and after some research I got this very cool audio player from Fiio.
I love the Walkman theme they went for, the graphics on the screen are really nice ( #skeuomorphism my beloved) and the #sound quality is great for such a small device

Yesterday I upgraded this HP 800 G2 to 16GB of RAM and replaced my Raspberry Pi server after 6 months of honoured service.
Also I love Docker for making it so easy to move everything from one computer to the other
