ive been rocking my thinkpad 460s since 2018 or so, but ive just recently yolo purchased a chunky t420 for 80€. I gotta say this is the best laptop ive ever used, keyboard/io is unmatched and it still runs super snappy on omarchy right now, even with only 4 gigs of ram :D AND this thing has a cd drive!

replied to:

its sad that newer models gradually lose features and quality... I love Thinkpads, but I cannot imagine myself using one 10 years from now...

replied to:

yea its insane to me how feature rich these old business machines were, nowadays every laptop just looks the same and kinda sucks. if you have the money and still love the old formfactor, you can consider upgrading to an aftermarket board: www.tpart.net/about-x210ai/

még csak barátkozom azzal a gondolattal, hogy a Gemma 4 miatt először is Windows 11 lesz a gépen (meg hogy Szentmihályon presszó lesz), ezért nehéz elkezdeni

I'm still getting used to the idea that because of Gemma 4, I'll have Windows 11 on my computer first (and that there will be a presso in Szentmihály), so it's hard to get started.

I’m ambivert. When I spend time outdoors and with people I want to keep doing that, I become very extrovert. Can’t code in that mode. It’s hard to switch back to introvert but when that happens time flies really quick. A month can pass and it feels like a week.

akkor ennyi volt a türelem, megyek haza nemsokára, és lebontom a dual bootot a lapcsiról, és a körmére nézünk már ennek a Gemmának

That's all for now, I'll be home soon and take the dual boot off the laptop, and we'll see what happens to this Gemma.

tell me if this makes sense to you: not all expensive chairs are worth a lot but the chairs that are worth a lot cost a lot of money

replied to:

Maybe adjust the last part to “most Chairs that are worth a lot…” - because I guess there are chairs that are inexpensive but still good and thus could have cost a a lot?

…

replied to:

my guess is the inexpensive chairs can be a good value for the price you pay but I doubt there are many of any chairs that are inexpensive and yet worth a lot

replied to:

Good chairs are expensive, yes. Can’t find myself a good dining chair set for a year at €500/4 chairs budget.

I have a toddler. I come home from work, cook, feed, clean, wash up. We read stories and play. I put him to bed. Then I put something on the television and my wife and I scroll on our phones until she goes to bed. I am not so careless with the little free time I have. I continue to scroll until about 1 am. The next morning I do it again. On the weekends, I get to drink wine.

replied to:

I prefer to drink wine at night and read an eBook or watch when something good comes up on streaming media. Can’t always get what I prefer and that is life.

replied to:

Same. And on Monday, I look back and wonder how I ever got to fit five or six things in one weekend, and now one or two things fill it up entirely. Love the little ones though, they're my world.

My 3yr old woke up at 5am this morning crying - not terribly uncommon - and when I went in there to check on her she just said "daddy's here" without looking at me and went back to sleep

My 3yo woke up at midnight fully believing that I was about to walk out the door and go to work.

Going to document some approaches to produce data visualizations using ari via DuckDB. Don’t know why it didn’t occur to me earlier, that there would be some solid community extensions for in DuckDB.

I was trying to use an approach that relies on community extensions, but installing them is proving finicky. Going to consider an approach that requires less futzing.

I finished Andor last night. It was a pretty solid show, even if Star Wars isn't something you're deeply in to.

Morning! What's on the docket today?

In the middle of migrating very old, homegrown tomfoolery into a more modern stack. Fun and vexing at the same time. This codebase has all of the bad decisions. All of them.

looking at the German public railway system (DB), I always wonder if the stereotypes of timeliness and precision were ever actually true. Surely someone must've figured out by now how off they are? These trains are always late and / or broken.
