Took me an hour to type it but I finally posted about my Mumbai trip on my blog, The entire trip could be summed up as surviving a Final Destination movie

@sounddrill @wesleyote @fluoriteByte my accent depends on how much of undisturbed sleep I get the previous night. Ranges all the way from speaking like someone from not in India to barely getting any words out of my mouth.

@werdahias all this time I thought you had signature on XD I used to do that too but felt it’s more convenient to use signatures in thunderbird

@disaster2life @sahil his presentation was funny as hell lmao. Lots of jokes. Definitely the best talk of MDC Navi Mumbai.

@cjwatson @cjwatson @cjwatson happy Hanukkah Colin

New semester starting in about a day and there’s plenty of ITPs, learning new packaging workflows, adopting some pending packages, pinging upstream to fix some bugs left to be done. One step at a time I guess.

@proprietedusage @thelinuxEXP nice so librewolf is an option. However I’m a little hesitant to move away from Firefox after all these years of using it. I didn’t expect that they’d go to this level :/

@sahil * SpaciousCoder78 attempts to read this with his broken Hindi skills

@proprietedusage @thelinuxEXP I’ve ditched chrome and it’s chromium based browsers 5 years ago. I could switch to librewolf or any gecko browser but does it sync my stuff using my Mozilla account such as passwords bookmarks? It’s one of the reasons why I kept using Firefox

Me a confused Firefox user after noticing that Mozilla wants to introduce AI slop into Firefox:

@thelinuxEXP being a Firefox fan, I’m kinda confused which browser to use now. Maybe I’ll just stick to Firefox and disable the slop.

And that's a wrap for MiniDebConf Navi Mumbai 2025. Thanks FOSS United Mumbai and Remiges Technologies Pvt Ltd for all the support <3.

See you in the next one (ie MiniDebConf Kanpur, 14th-15th March, 2026).

Found an old Sony Viao laptop from 2012 thats still alive and kicking (just needs a display and battery replacement). Crazy how a laptop from 2012 still works but a HP laptop of mine from 2020 broke down and became e-waste in just a year. They don't make them like they used to these days.

Having a lot of sleep debt sucks :(

My trip’s over. Going back to hotel

Almost at the end of the solo day trip heading to Marine Drive now

Just came to South Bombay

It’s been a good two busy days and seems like tomorrow will be a busy day too as I’m planning to have a solo tour around South Bombay. Just gotta have enough sleep now so that I don’t faint anywhere

Signature time and the end of MiniDebConf Navi Mumbai
