I bought a TV and it wouldn't let me past the first setup screen unless I installed an app and gave it Internet access. I figured as much... What I didn't expect was that they would be so explicit about their spying: a big message popped up warning me that the TV channel I was watching would collect viewing data. Fuck you guys. F.u.c.k.y.o.u.
Tomorrow I'll set up the rules in pfSense so I can virtually give all these bastards the middle finger.
I feel like Don Quixote…
»Mit dem Aufkommen des Walkman Anfang der 1980er-Jahre war die Selbstabschirmung von der Umgebung noch Teil aufgeregter kulturpessimistischer Diskurse. Die zugleich personalisierte, […] anhand der Kopfhörer nun aber auch in der Öffentlichkeit beobachtbare Mediennutzung wurde als Ausweis für Konsumismus und Gier, asozialen Isolationismus sowie Eskapismus einer narzisstischen und hedonistischen Generation gelesen.«

Bought a van to do up as a micro-camper, and did a temporary rush job of that conversion myself while waiting in the list for the pro to do it.
Then the pro gave himself a health criss the week it was booked so I took apart my temp job and only got another temp kit-job in it's place.
Went out in it like four times during that and then broke my wrist and couldn't really use it or improve it.
Then had to take it apart even more to try
and figure out where the ad-blue hole was.
I will do a proper permanent job of the
floor and walls and ceiling and adjustments to the kit-job to make it the nicest it's been so far during the spring next year.
My assumption that the prior conversion
into a van and for wheelchair-access meant the microcamper conversion was half-done already turned out to be false.
If I buy a new one, it'll be one that has never been wheelchair adapted.
But it's going okay. Only scraped it once so far.
Fewer than aimed for or booked, but I broke my wrist and had to cancel the second half of the summer.
Went to a conference about money and computers and fringe decentralized social media and it wasn't as boring as you might expect and felt pretty much like a festival.
Exactly the target number! It's lovely.
Took 3 times longer than I'd hoped and
50% more money than I'd planned for really.
Still improvements to make but they will
be incremental and gradual over the coming year or two now.
It's been interest-only for 20 years so a big old lump sum payment that I never really expected to be able to make. Expected to have to sell and move at the end of the mortgage term.
But surprisingly the stocks ISA got high enough to pay it off after all, so I did that.
Cash-flow ruined by that and the bedroom but should start to feel a bit richer next year.
There are many, many kinds of faux insurance products out there.
There’s short-term plans.
But more importantly, there’s also a thing called
❌ "healthcare sharing ministries",
which many people are critical of because they pose as insurance products,
when they’re really not there.
They promise a network of doctors and that you can access that network,
but often they don’t cover drugs.
Those doctors may or may not really participa…

Only a few regions on our planet - just west and east and especially inside of the dark zone in this NASA map which is mostly the Pacific Ocean - will have a good view of the full totality from 11:04 to 12:03 UTC of the #LunarEclipse today, but there will be webcasts galore to try out:
