I recently checked the box "send catalog" for an electronics order at the Reichelt online store. Holy smokes. Now that is a BIG catalog. 1800+ pages and 1780g - and the industrial robot Horst900 on the back cover.

I finally found a great #textexpander application for #linux https://github.com/federico-terzi/espanso #recommendation

Should I get a dog?

I am looking for #recommendations for a good / the best USB webcam that runs under Linux out of the box. My current webcam runs under Linux but the colors are not accurate. So I guess Iam looking for a camera with great/accurate color reproduction. #callout (#boost appreciated)

I started to learn how to meditate a couple of days ago. Mostly in anticipation of the stress that surely will grab me as soon as homeschooling will start again. (I hate homeschooling - but that is not the point.) So far meditation is a bit underwhelming. Sitting, breathing, eyes closed. Nothing that I cannot archieve with a pair of headphones and space music. But since I paid for the course, I will keep trying. Maybe there is a mental/spiritual wall here to be broken through - somewhere.

I caught myself again this year peeking at the Best Of lists, that music blogs and magazines are publishing, to get a sense of what I have missed. Man, I totally feel out of touch. Most of the music I discovered last year was on vinyl - bought on the local flea market.

Just as a follow-up: I found a feature request for a Client-Side Decorated toolbar in #Rhythmbox that is SIX years old https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/rhythmbox/-/issues/1370 :-( ... and a Merge Request that would bring this feature to Rhythmbox without the need for a plug-in https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/rhythmbox/-/merge_requests/20 … this one is old, too – but it seams to be somewhat alive :-)

Small UI change, but a huge win. #Rhythmbox with #Gnome style client-side decoration. For anyone, who also is annoyed by the HUGE default toolbar in Rhythmbox, I can recommend https://github.com/fossfreedom/alternative-toolbar

@Gina I will try to learn how to meditate.

31 Dec 2020. My son's first contact with PC gaming: #Portal I feel that I have done something right today

Today I started playing "The Secret of Monkey Island" for the first time ever. I somehow skipped it back in 1990. (I played "Maniac Mansion" though. Better mention that, so not to loose too much cred here.) Anyway. The game aged really well. I am having a good time. So if anyone now feels tempted to give old #SCUMM games a try. #archiveorg has a super comprehensive archive. https://ia801005.us.archive.org/view_archive.php?archive=/13/items/The_Complete_ScummVM_Collection_v2/The_Complete_ScummVM%20Collection%20v2.0.zip Note: this link is not a ZIP, just a table of contents.
