@galooph Moving house? 😄

Are Nordnet *still* the only ADSL provider in France who will sell you a line without a stupid box? I can't find anyone else...

As should every country...

Also, whoever made the Renault Zoé sound like a Star Wars pod racer when it's cruising through town, I salute you. 😂 I'm still trying to figure out if this is hilarious or fabulous. (Or perhaps both?)

Smug mode engaged...

@galooph I just realised you're away FOREVER!! We're doooooooooomed!!! 😥

Have a good break! 😎

The more you think about it, the more you realise it's absolutely *insane* that we're surrounded by huge energy sources but we choose to generate most of our energy by burning dead stuff. 🙄

Fabulous D&D thread on 🐦site: https://twitter.com/AndiEwington/status/1199450149069754368

So we watched Bandersnatch for an hour thinking "this is a bit dull" without realising we're supposed to be choosing what he does next. 🙄

Looking at a Daikin high temperature air source heat pump for the house. This is a drop-in replacement for a gas boiler that produces water up to 80°C without resorting to resistance heating. Anyone have any experience of these systems? The installer has excellent reviews.

Well that seems to have doubled the speed. Still slow, but not *as* slow.

Enabling 'fastestmirror=True' for Fedora to see if that helps. I wonder why it isn't the default? I suppose by default it allows the mirror service to determine the mirror that *should* be fastest, whereas this way the computer actually checks for itself? 🤔

Actually, I think whatever mirror of the repo is serving the LibreOffice packages is shit. 90kB/s is ridiculous when I know I usually get 1.2MB/s.

Two LibreOffice updates in two days? Really Fedora? I wouldn't mind but core is enormous and my wifi is shit. 😐

With every decade that passes I look back at myself and consider myself to have been young and stupid. I wonder at what point this will flip to be me considering myself as old and stupid? 🤔😂

Since I'm used to cooking for 4 and my wife is away, I'm eating Wednesday and Thursday's leftovers tonight. 😬

Started watching the Netflix flat earther documentary, but got bored really fast. There's nothing there, just fluff and a bunch of flat earthers saying how amazing it is their movement has traction. To be fair, it is quite amazing. To buy into it you have to believe you're being lied to by tens, if not hundreds of thousands of people, without there being a single leak, defection or whistleblower. Yeh, that's more than a stretch.

I'd like to go to bed but... 😬
