I completely fell on my ass in the snow yesterday, and twisted my knee. Probably the worst fall I think I've experienced. My knee is very painful and I couldn't sleep. 45 thus far has not been great.

I understand Flickr have bills to pay but their approache to Pro migration has been extremely shitty. Why not just grandfather in accounts with > 1000 photos and lock uploads?

Deleting images is seriously shitty.

There's about an inch of snow outside and it's muted all the noise. Much as I hate the inconvience it brings there's something magical about the dead quiet it always gives when it first settles.

There is a strange defensiveness around criticism of #systemd I really struggle to understand.

Things that aren't there anymore. A SAA 747-400 and the LHR perimeter road that passed through the maintenance hangars.

These birds would arrive in the morning, then be towed to eastern end of the field to wait for their evening flight back to South Africa.

Finally finished Series 6 of Engrenages and am feeling a bit bereft. Hopefully the Series 7 will be with us soon.

Also, some problems I've had with Tracker on Gnome3 have been exacerbated by a selling point of #systemd, namely automatic service restarting.

As has been written by many, this is not a desirable feature if your service is so broken it compromises uptime.

I loved @VoidLinux on my old Lenovo X201, before that laptop shuffled off its mortal coil.

I think I may install it on my daily driver, such is my disillusion with Fedora, the purpose of which was to keep a hand in leading edge desktop Linux. The problem is, it's started to frustrate. Largely down to Gnome3, but that was the point of the exercise...

The boss sent me this.

My weekly reminded that Gnome3's tracker is a massive pile of shit
