the red hat fedora logo would actually be a perfect fit here

The Debian Diversity sticker kinda-fits after a bit of cutting

Time to choose a new laptop ornamental sticker! But which?

@knasman sounds neat! did you take/keep any pics?

Happily wrote my first hledger patch and it was merged! https://github.com/simonmichael/hledger/pull/2000

Bonus question! I need to cover up this egregious Windows logo. What with? Debian diversity sticker too large :( approx the size of a US quarter.

oh yeah they probably all need re-orienting 180° from the pictures so they're upright when the lid is open

@pwaring that’s a good willl question. There’s still stacks of stuff that doesn’t - and will never - work well on wayland.

Idly wondering if those interested in the continued existence of xserver-xorg (me) need to step up to ensure it lives on

Advice requested. Trying to help model financial scenarios for my career-pause wife: i die before retire, separate after, made redundant etc etc. anyone know of a good flow chart or article etc exploring the scenarios to consider? TIA!

@mhoye I didn’t reply in time to your original toot. I’d have nominated “duc”, which is a bit like ncdu (which seems to have fallen down a “rewrite from scratch” singularity) and can also take the place of “duf” on the list http://duc.zevv.nl

@wadethemaker it’s that question that led to my host using “pleroma” as the subdomain but i wish they hadn’t to be honest. It rather locks us to one vendor

@oetiker filing bug reports (amongst other things)

Huh, neovim deleted “:hardcopy”, something I do actually use! https://github.com/neovim/neovim/pull/21472

Is cydonia too obvious?

@riddsteve that’s a good shout! Short too. I think I started with Mars names from Kim Stanley Robinson novels. Thanks

@riddsteve I’ve jealous of the Amiga 600, I think I know who donated and I tried unsuccessfully to get it off them many years ago :) also, we have a newly donated commodore CBM that might go in that display…

@riddsteve sort-of. I’ve used it before, I think for a VM. But it’s not currently in use. (I’ve also previously used tharsis)

@neil well yeah use it if it’s spare! If Firefox is too slow I’d try a recent netsurf and see if that’s useable (Debian archive one is quite old)
Also konqueror *might* perform better on slow machines… at least it did 20 years ago!
