#Intel must be getting slightly nervous right about now. Their fastest CPU gulfs electricity likes there's no tomorrow (241W on boost). They are not even in the same decade anymore.

Tech news:
I received my new 2x6TB WD Red Plus to replace my old 2x3TB & 2x4TB (WD Red) drives. Transfering data now.
Also! Managed to snap up a Nvidia RTX 3060 Ti for €540.

Have a great day!

Ordered some brown Edifier R1700BT speakers. Received them in all black... sigh.

Just a word of advice: Don't buy the Bose Companion 2. They are highly overrated.

Just... don't.

Having recently switched job from an educational institution to a Microsoft consultancy firm, makes me appreciate my own computer at home, that boots linux by default.

It's nice to come home and breathe in some "fresh air" :)

I don't like the fact that I can't use custom themes on Gnome 42.

White/gray or dark. I want blue, I want orange. I want colours!

Thank me later :)

I may just have ordered 110 pcs. of Kailh box navy switches

What the f***? I thought the European Union were the good guys?

Not really relevant to the instance here, but re-watching #JohnWick... still great.

Best content I've ever made.

I hope this blog post is right.

If my phone (Pixel 4) with CalyxOS can't support VoLTE, and I need that for making phone calls, what decision wll that be?

Right now, I am stuck between:
- Running stock Android
- Buying another phone that has been reported as working with Calyx/Graphene
- Buy an iPhone

What a world to live in...

Have a great day!

Those days, where you just feel like sleeping for an entire day.

For some time, I have had both a Protonmail and a Tutanota. The many connection issues with Tutanota have lead me to decide that the mailhosting on my webhosting will suffice for non-important email.

I will keep the Protonmail. The higher price offers more uptime and reliability.
