I like short names but Martian geography also welcome

I need a new laptop hostname! Sibling machines are: qusp, coil, chew, phobos. Suggestions appreciated!

I've got plans for a future full day of yak-shaving, probably exploring the neovim plugin universe and lua scripting, with a GTD theme. Currently gathering stuff to look at. E.g. mini.nvim https://github.com/echasnovski/mini.nvim/releases/tag/v0.7.0

@InterzoneMag really pleased to receive the new issue today! And glad you’re on the Fediverse too!

I’m liking the new paperback sized/format Interzone! #fiction

@guddl I asked, but I got the feeling they’re asked a lot and run them regularly. But they don’t advertise so maybe if it was too popular/distracting they’d stop

@andy_warb no connection, but I mailed to arrange it. The impression I get is they do a lot of tours but don’t advertise about it, if it became a problem they’d stop.

New blog post: A visit to Prusa Labs https://jmtd.net/log/prusa_labs/ #3dprinting

@zhenech the latter

After FOSDEM I bit the bullet and ordered a Refurb laptop against the advice of most of my #Debian friends :)
It arrived with borked USB ports so is being swapped out sometime in the next few days.

@andypiper relatedly, an opaque one for already-bestickered cases please

@znoteer maybe! Another suggestion was “supper in Scotland”. But the three I said, I actually did!

@tamtararam oh agreed… I snapped a shot of them to go back and look up what it was later on. Reminded me of some of the merch for the band “the Cure”

Breakfast in Brussels, lunch in London and tea in Tyneside

@xtaran I didn't think of that! Thanks for your input :-)

@onrust @akareilly I mean maybe? I’m seeing a lot of snark and bad feeling about it but maybe we should see what happens?

@Zugschlus i loved an M in the 90s, and was gifted another a few years ago, but my fingers are too out of practise :(

I was intending to tag @xtaran on that toot but screwed it up ;)

@Zugschlus actually I meant the shell colour! ;) the shura has black-or-red options. For my first mech I ended up with silent reds, but before that I was *sure* browns would be best fit. I think butterfly switches have ruined my fingers
