Guilty

A new fursuit. Current one is almost 15 years old, has been to dozens of conventions with hours and hours of running around like an idiot.

Fursuiting for me is a hugely important form of self expression and escapism, I absolutely love it.

Not really.

The high volume of unoriginal Linux content is getting old, and that’s coming from somebody who uses Linux.

Behind that, there’s very little in the way of niche communities/interests. But I suppose that’s just because the total number of users isn’t high enough for people with specific interests to reach some critical mass .

So for me, Lemmy hasn’t been anything more than a news aggregator interspersed with the occasional funny meme.

I’ve used Linux off and on for quite awhile, all of my jobs have always included some level of Linux administration.

Somewhat ironically my current role is senior .NET developer. Though I suppose that’s a lot more platform agnostic than it used to be =)

New laptop for myself. I’ve spent years using my phone and work laptops. I have a VM on a cloud provider I use for personal storage, tinkering, etc.

Dell XPS 13 Plus, got it fully loaded but with the least amount of storage available. Immediately upgraded the NVMe to 2T and installed Linux.

Despite making a descent income, I’m weirdly averse to spending on myself. In any case, totally worth it, it’s been a month and I use the machine every day.

I just ordered a second one a couple months from a top-tier maker and it was pretty expensive.

The first one I got back in 2008 was $1450. I don’t think it’s possible to get a descent one for under $3000 these days

Here’s hoping
