Flay<p>Eat your veggies! 😁</p>
Flay<p>The look I get when paying too much attention to my laptop.</p>
Flay<p>We would like to participate.</p>
Flay<p>Just chilling with a buddy...</p>
Flay<p>He&#39;s learning to suvk up to strangers!</p><p><a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/rescuedog" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>rescuedog</span></a></p>
Flay<p>Interests have wandered over the last bit (new rescue dog in the spring, more later on that).</p><p>Took a bit of time over the last days to install a system with Dual Intel ARC cards I grabbed on sale. Put them through a test with Blender today! </p><p>Alas, they do not work in tandem on Linux so tested the same rig with Windows to obtain performance results.</p><p>Cannot find any reference to folks getting this setup working properly. To be fair, it&#39;s pretty fringe.</p><p><a href="https://dretch.com/?p=406" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">dretch.com/?p=406</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p><p><a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/blender3d" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>blender3d</span></a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/GPU" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>GPU</span></a></p>
Flay<p>Time for a scrub. Pets... and snacks!</p>
Flay<p>A month ago this creature landed in my lap. A rescue who had a really rough time through no fault of his own. </p><p>Feel like I won the lottery, he&#39;s a wonderful chap!</p><p><a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/rescue" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>rescue</span></a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/rescuedog" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>rescuedog</span></a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/adoptdontshop" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>adoptdontshop</span></a></p>
Flay<p>Clearing out storage. Remember when you had to use coloured gels and a B&amp;W video camera to scan a photo? Will the A1000 even boot? <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/amiga" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>amiga</span></a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/vintagecomputers" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>vintagecomputers</span></a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/commodore" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>commodore</span></a></p>
Flay<p>Been hard watching Stanley decline with age. He&#39;s been through a lot but.. still partying.</p>
Flay<p>Poked my nose into a kerfuffle at the local grocery store. System locked up. Windows XP (32). Running on a box with working USB ports. Fans look like a furry hamster.</p><p>I... backed away slowly.</p>
Flay<p>That was a pleasant tech experience. <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/Ubuntu" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Ubuntu</span></a>, <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/Umbrel" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Umbrel</span></a>, <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/Tailscale" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Tailscale</span></a>, <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/Nextcloud" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Nextcloud</span></a>, <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/letsencrypt" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>letsencrypt</span></a> on an old low-power NUC. Household is not thrilled with hosting anything public at home. So I&#39;m not ;-).</p>
Flay<p>Interesting WiFi network in this coffee shop in Vancouver. Android has no issues. Linux laptop heavily blocked up. No CBC or DuckDuckGo but CNN and Google properties work fine. Can&#39;t even ping Cloudflare DNS. Common VPN&#39;s blocked although my Tailscale works. Easy enough to bypass it all but... why?</p>
Flay<p>Should say, not my car! We (obviously) had a bit of a windstorm here. Surprised how shallow the roots were for such a big tree.</p>
Flay<p>Nature hath fury.</p>
Flay<p>Login: business name.<br />Password: street address.</p><p>&quot;So sorry your site was &quot;hacked.&quot;</p><p>Stanley here exhibits my true feelings.</p>

It's been a bit. In the last several months Stanley lost his spleen, had cataract surgery then eventually lost his eye. Fully recovered now but was a fraught spring and summer here. Glad to have my buddy perky again!

Flay<p>Happy Monday!</p>
