Dusting off this Bluesky account just to relay the brief networking misadventure I had the other night regarding a mini PC that lives rent-free on my desk.

No option to disable the google discovery page on stock Oneplus... sigh...
Back to my phone's stock launcher after about a year of using Niagara and not really being happy with any of the other ones out there.

sigh!

Posting in case CBP decides to check the socials of a US citizen (me!) and turn me away at pre-clearance on one of my many soon to be trips to Europe.

>Get MicroCenter promo flyer in today's mail.
"Woah! Free stuff!"
>Tear off the promo coupons.
>Tear up the rest of the flyer, tossed into the recycle.
>Read the fine print.

I spent more time than I'd like to admit fishing the pieces out of the bin...

Getting the urge to turn an old phone that has a headphone jack and a micro sd card slot into a dedicated music player.

Candy corn is fine, actually.

thank god.
The only problem I have with these are the lack of volume controls. Definitely didn't blow my ears out already. 🫠

I turned this into a very short blog post that says pretty much nothing.

One comment to make:

I found that the ticking of a mechanical watch isn't as comforting as a quartz one. :[

Maybe I'm weird for this! I wouldn't know, I'm not deep into the watch hobby.
The voices won and convinced me into picking up an automatic after a long YouTube binge on watches.

A homage to one of Omega's Seamaster watches, right near the end of the recent AliExpress sale.

Applied the fix for the whole stutter-on-notification thing that occurs when you're running KDE on Nvidia graphics.

Wish I had done it sooner, honestly.

The whole confusion I've been seeing, between SaaS and Self-Hosted WordPress, throughout this whole AI thing leaves me unreasonably upset for some reason.

The Bluesky handles directory 2.0 is live! 🚀

blue.mackuba.eu/directory/

I've added all other missing TLDs, and also a new section with geographic TLDs that aren't 2-letter country codes (.nyc, .tokyo etc.). There might still be some incorrect data here and there, I will be cleaning it up.

Switching over to this account is such a breath of fresh air.

Less activity on the timeline but not entirely dead vs the account I use as a less-than-professional alias.
