I like Stunt Car Racer, Lemmings, Infocom adventures and FA/18 Interceptor, what should I put on my steam deck? Yes, an Amiga emulator obviously, but what are "native" fun games in any of those moulds which work well with the touchscreen/controller layout?

It turns out that the reason my thinkpad x230 keyboard was rattling so much when I typed was that it was missing both of the screws that were supposed to hold it in. Stole one from somewhere else and now it's much quieter :-)

"EE" (UK telco/isp) are running ads saying that upgrading your router to wifi 7 (by means of changing ISP to EE who will provide said router) will "make everything better" if you have slow internet due to congestion.
According to my reading of (parts of) the internet, upgrading one device on a wlan to wifi 7 will do approximately nothing if you don't also upgrade the other devices its wirelessing to. Am I wrong or is this false advertising?

I don't know if this is just my poor memory but it used to be a lot more fun buying stuff online when it wasn't a fight against "subscribe to our newsletter", "10% off coupon", "accept all the cookies", "here are some other products you didn't ask for", "please accept all the cookies", "the online filter includes 'gender', 'discipline' and 'suggested use' but not e.g. 'valve length'" and "we're not telling you what delivery costs until you're 80% of the way through checkout"
I might just go to a shop and buy my new inner tube there instead.

mastodon/akkoma question: is it possible to follow a hashtag on another server, or do you only see the posts that already make it to your own instance?
(Akkoma has hashtag following, pleroma apparently doesn't, and while it looks like migrating pleroma -> akkoma is still pretty straightforward and I should do it anyway, this would be incentive for doing it sooner)

well, I don't know if this is correct, but I added these lines to my nixos services.pleroma.configs settings
policies: [Pleroma.Web.ActivityPub.MRF.SimplePolicy]
config :pleroma, :mrf_simple,
reject: [{"threads.net", "Cesspool"}]
and we'll see if I stop getting (a) Threads, or (b) anything. Since none of my users (me) knowingly follow anyone on Threads I'm not even sure I'll know if it worked

I was determined not to lose the "streak" on my habits tracker, so, absent any opportunity to go out and ride yesterday, I decided to do half an hour on rollers
All was fine until ten minutes in when I decided to scratch my leg while riding and somehow came off, crashed into my pedestal fan and fell on a coffee table.
The fan will need repair, my flesh wounds (nsfw, available under plain cover ...) will heal on their own I hope

Second attempt at dogfooding the rt3200 with #liminix is going much better
There appears to be a bug in update.sh --fast which is supposed to restart only the affected services but in practice seems to be making the hostapd services do a restart loop. So, having to do a lot of reboots while I fiddle with firewall rules

upgrade to 6.6.67 was fairly straightforward and has got me a step closer to ax wifi, but it's a really really really weak signal. Like, just about detectable at 30cm distance

Today, an abortive installation of the belkin rt3200 as dogfood router. It appeared to be working happily except for no 5GHz wifi, which turns out to be because the device tree doesn't match the partition layout. Upgrading to the newer device tree isn't sufficient to make it work either because it changes the compatible strings and (I'm guessing) the kernel version I'm running is looking for the old strings. So, probably the sensible thing to do would be upgrade it to kernel 6.6. Which is fine but why does it have to be now?
If I'd spotted earlier that the 5GHz wifi had silently disappeared I could have tempered my expectations

Nope, apparently instead I have broken EVERYTHING (or large percentage of it). I'm going to bed anyway though, sorry about that
