I’ve been getting more into the game Gaslands with my son and also with adult friends. It’s a Mad Max-esque tabletop game where you’re expected to create your own game pieces by kitbashing with toy cars. I already have all the crafting, painting and 3d printing supplies I need from my other wargaming hobbies, so the barrier to entry was incredibly low. It’s a lot of lighthearted fun. Here is my latest creation.

Here are a couple more cars I've made for #gaslands

I'm in need of a little Nerd-Pr0n... what little useful thing comes into your mind as tool of at the Linux command line? Not a super-nerdy command to sophisticated resolve a problem, but a tool for actual problems that would also be useful for n00bs to take their fear about using the CLI?

So curling wttr.in is a nice trick - but yesterday I discovered v2 of the service (probably around for a million years but new to me).

yt-dlp and wget to fetch files from the Intenets without having to open a browser were on the list yesterday as well, but I'm eager to (re)discover some other nice tools.

@LinuxWalt (@lnxw48a1) {3EB165E0-5BB1-45D2-9E7D-93B31821F864} Pascal was my second language after Basic. I got a book from the library and did some paper programming. Later in high school the programming class was in Pascal.

The Data Structures and Algorithms course at uni used ADA.

If ibuprofen ("Advil") works for you, always go for that instead, it's much safer.

typhoon: loan from Cantonese "daai fung", big wind

Gestern vor 50 Jahren ist Skylab gestartet, die erste Raumstation der USA. Beim Start gab es Probleme mit dem Labor. Ein Sonnensegel brach ab und beschädigte den Hitzeschutz. Ursprünglich sollte ein Tag später eine Crew zur Raumstation fliegen. Dies wurde um mehrere Tage verzögert. In dieser Zeit wurde die Mission in Windeseile zu einer Rettungsmission umgeplant. Die Astronauten mussten nun dafür sorgen, dass der Hitzeschutz und die Stromversorgung sichergestellt werden konnte. Eine wichtige Rolle spielte dabei eine Firma, die eigentlich Werkzeuge für Netzelektriker herstellt.

Diese Dokumentation wurde von dieser Firma produziert und schildert diese Tage aus ihrer Sicht.

In particular, I'm surprised Blade came after Demolition Man, not before.

In my Hollywood headcanon Blade (1998) made Snipes a name and that's why he would be in Demolition Man (1993). 😅
