The art is lovely, but I found the plotting/story to be a bit weak. Perhaps more pointedly, I felt like the plot setup was great but the landing was a bit off, and the telling of the story didn't nicely convey all the nuances I expect the author had in mind. Felt like a lot was left in the gutters.

Although my first extra usb-wifi adapter has been returned (didn't work properly on FreeBSD) I'm waiting for the next one.
Will this enable FreeBSD wifi on my ThinkPad? Carefully chose one of the nano ones mentioned in the wiki.
Then the next choice: KDE or Hyprland?
I did see a video with a great rice for Hyprland yesterday on the 'Tubes, making it resemble my dwm setup closely. Very tempting!
But dog-fooding-wise I should of course run KDE and feedback …

@… have you tried to get LLM coding tools to use BDD techniques yet? It seems like it would be helpful, if we can get the agent swarm setup with the right contexts.

Prototyping with my desk setup a bit. I think I like it. 🤔 Would mean more space directly in front of me and I could also add rack strips and mount 19" gear like my dbx 286s within arm’s reach.

So, been wondering why my mic audio has been absolutely wretched over the last few videos and such. Come to find out, if you accidentally wreck almost all of the settings on the compressor/gate then things are going to go very, very poorly. Did a quick test run in OBS and everything sounded so much better.
