Today I dreamt that I was a sysadmin at some nursing home. It was supposed to be a peaceful life, but as soon as I sit down, the seniors started coming at me asking for root access to the home's server. Surprised, I asked why. As it turned out, the previous sysadmin apparently set up KaZaA as root for them on the server, supposedly it had to do with port access. At this point (in the dream) I had a deep facepalm 🤦.

This was a nice ride. Some sections involved pushing the bike. And some steep parts came a bit surprising. But overall it was nice with some quite challenging sections. It was a loop that I wanted to try since quite a while.

One of the great things about globalization is that countries start to get dependent on trading with each other, preventing conflicts and wars and normally leading to peaceful resolution of issues.
This is the biggest reason why most western countries had a relatively peaceful last 75 or so years (globalization obviously is not universally a good thing and has many problems of its own).
But the global turn to fascism and isolationism is starting to dismantle this system, making it worse for everyone.
History repeats itself more than it should.
If you think we cannot get out from under these ghouls, then all I can say is we did it several times before.
We should be getting good at it by now.
The closest Trump's gonna get to heaven is on an airplane.
Go figure, cause I can't
Keep protests peaceful.
Don't kill anyone.
They DO make a difference.

Possibly the best concert I've ever been to. Yes, Vince Gill, Joe Walsh & Don Henley are all still playing.

Had some stuff to do in the city and am on a semi nocturnal sleep schedule this week so I decided to go to work stupidly early (leaving home at 4:30 in the morning to catch the first bus of the day) so I could get home before bedtime (i.e. lunchtime for most people in the local time zone).
Biking to the bus stop hours before sunrise is reminding me of how much I miss night rides. Quiet, peaceful, empty roads with almost no vehicle traffic unless you're on a major highway. I didn…

Really glad the US just decommissioned the four mine sweepers we’d had covering the Strait of Hormuz, and glad we live in such a peaceful world that we no longer need them there as they had been for the last 35 years. Phew.

For #footpathfriday I'm sharing this one again. It's really one of our most liked trails.
Even though it doesn't gain a lot of elevation, the path along the shore of the lake is all I like:
narrow, pretty nature like, absolutely great views, bends along the shores so that you don't see too far, and mountains all around ... what else would you need 🙂
@… A year or so ago, I changed my phone's ringtone to a beautiful and peaceful guitar intro by Richard Thompson, and now I'm much happier when the phone rings.
Can we clone this guy? "“While I found this protest appalling, I will not waver in my belief that it should be allowed to happen,” Mamdani continued. “Ours is a free society where the right to peaceful protest is sacred. It does not belong only to those we agree with—it belongs to everyone.”"

Memorial Day, an occasion to honor America’s war dead, originated from attempts to heal from war and prevent its recurrence.
First called Decoration Day, the holiday involved decorating the graves of Civil War soldiers and commemorating their sacrifices.
Some leaders at the time promoted the idea that the holiday could advance post-war reconciliation between the North and the South.
(Though that desire for reconciliation conflicted, to some extent, with advancing redress fo…

Seeing the state of the world today, one can be envied simply for having a peaceful death.
For #footpathfriday I'm using this photo!
We went out on a very cloudy day, assumig that we'd also get into rain.
But we didn't want to hold ourselfes back and hike into the clouds. of course, we didn't have epic vistas - but the mood up there was just unique. The limited visibility, the lack of sounds, the dim light.
I really enjoyed that day!
Oh wow, I feel quite sore today. Maybe I didn't do "enough" during winter to keep my muscles in shape.
But it was worth it! (Pictures and video are yet to come). After the snow has mostly melted, it's time again to clean up all kinds of litter.
I once heard a metallic *pling* and knew ... "new microspikes needed now ... but as the metal plate broke and not just a chain, I hope that the shop might replace it. I mean .. broken metal after just ~1year? Keep fi…

For my #silentSunday I FINALLY printed of my photos. It's been a while since a printed. Now there's a new gem on my desk 🥰
My wife said that we should have it also as a big print on the wall.
Anyways, enjoy!
