Research has me constantly under pressure. I&#39;m 2 years sober of alcohol, I stopped smoking 1 month and a half ago and I don&#39;t even drink coffee anymore, only tea, because I was drinking too much coffee. I needed something to decompress. So I started playing video games. But this computer, although it has a RTX 5070 GPU, was built for machine learning development, not for gaming. Yesterday I changed the CPU from a ryzen 5 7600X to a ryzen 7 9800X3D and games run smoothly since t...

Poupou getting morning pats. She always comes join me in the morning when I wake up. But she doesn&#39;t like sleeping on the bed with us because we snore. #cats #CatsOfMastodon

I won&#39;t be at BSDCan this year because, although I got the okay to take a break from research, my TA workload doesn&#39;t allow me to travel and take a break. I&#39;ll try to accept less TA contracts next summer to have the opportunity for time off.

So by quitting nicotine and replacing coffee with tea because I was abusing caffeine, I managed to get severely addicted to tea. I wake up in the morning and crave a cup of tea in the same way I used to crave a cigarette. The human brain is very weird sometimes.

Poupou is going to have a little brother! I&#39;m adopting a kitty soon, it&#39;s going to be the brown one from this picture. It&#39;s been caught with its mother, but the mother is very wild, broke the window screen and ran away. They already eat solid food so it&#39;s fine, but might not be very good to separate them from their mother yet. Regardless, I&#39;ll adopt him in the coming weeks and plan a visit to the vet for regular wild kitty stuff. #CatsOfMastodon #Cats #...

#ThreeGoodThings #3GoodThings 1. I&#39;ve received my research grant. With it I bought a new computer chair and it&#39;s the most comfortable thing ever. It beats even my couch. 2. Only 2 exams left this week, then I&#39;m dedicating my summer and the next two years to master&#39;s research. 3. I ran into an old friend today while coming back from my exam. It&#39;s a huge coincidence since he doesn&#39;t even live in my city. We spoke for 30 minutes and caught up. It wa...

When I finished high school I didn&#39;t really care because I knew I was going further. When I finished college I didn&#39;t care because I knew I was going to university. I&#39;ve never been to a graduation or seen my diplomas. I&#39;ve just finished all the required university courses, but I&#39;ve already started a master&#39;s degree. This time though they&#39;ll send it to me by the mail.

Lazy Tuesday morning. I&#39;m ahead on schoolwork so I allowed myself to sleep in and stay in bed for a long time.

I took the bus on my way home as usual. The bus was nearly empty and no seats were taken either in front or behind me. I watch videos on my phone during the ride for one hour, didn&#39;t notice anything weird. Then I get up, check if I&#39;ve forgotten something at my seat, and there was a brown paper bag with handles in the style of a gift bag at my feet during the whole ride. Inside of it was meat. I pick up the bag, look around, everyone is far from me, nobody claims it or even looks...

Every time FreeBSD takes a step forward something happens that makes it lag behind. Spotify works on FreeBSD now with widevine through the linuxulator, but lossless music only works on the spotify app. So now someone has to package the spotify app if we ever want lossless spotify on FreeBSD. Worst of all is, open source spotify clients tried to support lossless but were shut down by spotify. Okay I could use my plex server but I do like recommendations and unlimited albums.

@omar What burden? It&#39;s normal to want to support popular software, and the technology is there to support the spotify app. I don&#39;t understand what you&#39;re saying.
