It was a very nice weekend overall. The weather is a bit on the cold side (even below 0) but the sun compensated us. Saturday, I went out for my first run of the year and it felt good. Sunday morning I had this feeling of sweet pain that comes after getting some exercise. Neat!

@gnomon the rain stopped before the game. The weather was pleasant and we even enjoyed walking by the water from the exhibition place to Union. Definitely spring is here! I hope you had a nice day too!

@gnomon I hope it clears fast. I have plans to go to BMO field in the afternoon…

@etienne_obriot thanks! I keep it simple. We use a standard raspberry Pi 4 and the vlc that comes with it. There is a UPnP side menu that links us to the home server.

I am using gopher://tilde.institute to document my explorations with FreeBSD and not only...

I just uploaded my latest file with notes on FreeBSD zfs snapshot > zfs send | receive. Many thanks to @vermaden for helping me understanding and resolving some issues there.

I big #thankyou to #FreeBSD community for the new release #freebsd14.2R. I tried # freebsd-update -r 14.2-RELEASE upgrade on my RaspberryPi with no success. I had been upgrading this little machine like these for the past couple of years.
Is it too early for this??

@xi Quebecois make beautiful work!

Watched "Dune: Part 1" during the weekend. I remember enjoying Dune II video game as a kid. I can't wait to watch Part 2 next weekend. Villeneuve makes beautiful movies. Even out of the most horrific stories like Polytechnique...

@tara good luck! I made the switch two years ago and I am so happy!
Constantly looking to handle more tasks with FreeBSD but this is the journey!

It is mportant to pause for a moment and see the light coming through!

As sunlight passes through the leaves of trees outside the house paints an interior wall.

Happy Thanksgiving to all Canadian friends! 🍁🇨🇦A great opportunity to use some time to think through all nice things happening in our lives.

@jbauer happy thanksgiving! I hope you had some quality time with family during your visit!

@jbauer are you visiting? I’ve seen unbelievable photos of tonight’s Aurora. Friends are sharing photos taken from as south as Unionville …

@rostiger @oppen we are using a JBL GO 2… it has a jack and it is also waterproof. The ones you mentioned have a better dynamic range though. It depends on what type of music you enjoy listening. I always wanted a Harman Kardon though… :-)

@jbauer under you in a couple of years with a cargo bike!!! ;-)
They seem fun!
We see them in Toronto lately a lot. Even FedEX is using them for deliveries around the city.

2024-09-07

@jbauer nice! Do you have the weekdays bicycle and the nicer weekend one?

@GeoffWozniak this is good news!
