Good morrow, good people, various creatures, aliens & mastodons of Mastodon …

But wait, is that the afternoon I see, fast approaching?!

Ooh, crumbs! I've slept in again 🤦… Oh well 🤷.

You can't tell I've only had 4 hours sleep last night & the night before. *left eye twitches dangerously *

Right eye ignores the warning sign.

Final attempt & downloaded Thor & Galaxy Flasher & all fine just apparently stuff is missing.

Installing Flasher as Flatpak but does it (or my Linux) have what it needs 🤷, apprently not.

I need:

You need to install glib-compile-resources to use this script.

Is what it say.

A dead end or an easy fix?

Sensible says, quit before I break LM (currently my only PC so very difficult to fix/create new pendrive to real-install & I'm really not in the mode (no spoons, dice, etc).

Have looked on Linux Mint forum as well as a browser search for anything helpful & it looks like a dead end for me.

Welp, Heimdall won't compile or whatever. Got as far the (& including) the cmake command on here

https://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?p=1516136&hilit=heimdall#p1516136, (updated GitLab to GitHub).

Make command apparently doesn't exist so I frelled it by moving on & got sweet FA.

Found a way to supposedly install the 'make' command & it seemed to work but trying it again as per ⬆️ link it didn't like it & lots of nope (red text) about compatibilty & not finding libusb. 🤯😕

Progress is shit. I'd downloaded a MAC flasher instead of the Linux one.

I looked at the options on the site they linked to & it's Heimdall 1.4.1 & I need to download two separate packages front end & backend but no clue as to which ones are what in the list of versions.

Pulling my hair out as there seems to be no option for Linux mint. Having a browse on their forum now, on the off chance.

This is why, as much as I love them, I absolutely hate custom ROMs (yes, I know it's the big companies/device manufacturers who cause this headache) but how awesome should it be to have an existing tool that can do the job rather than, here compile this random pile of code & vague instructions 🤷.

Too complicated for someone who isn't (borderline) into coding or building or compiling from scratch. I'm just a lay user. Finger 🤞 I figure something out.

Spending today fighting with my new Samsung galaxy tab & my Linux PC to get Lineage OS shoehorned in.

Break for late lunch after frying my brain reading through then instructions & looking for Odin alternative (found one 🤞).

The battle will commence after the army is good & fed.

It started out as a post about me feeling like I'm too miserable on here as I think I need some help in how to, 'not a cult, probably' better than I am not doing at the moment.

Then it devolved or evolved, depending on your point of view, into a weird little skit about one possibility for what's going on in my cranium (that weird round thing between your ears (or in this case, my ears) where the Grey Matter Monster lives.

It ended up going a bit like this:

”There must be a version of me in here,“ they mutter and gesture at the cranium interior, ”that is fun and happy even if only for 2% of it's waking self.

”Right checklist, where am I up to on you? Page 9… filing cabinet 672, drawer 143.“

My Alter-self strikes a pose as they mount the base of a vertical ladder to infinity, like a hero in some old B movie about to lead an attack on the alien invaders from the studio next-door.

With a nod, a grin and a gesture to their feet they exclaim pointlessly, “This is why having two souls is better than one!“

Grinning with glee they stare maniacally at the glowing mists that drift round the lower part of each of their feet, occasionally sparking, crackling and sputtering.

They strap the checklist, along with an empty document wallet to their back and begin the climb. Today, was going to be another long, pointless search but they had promised to find that lost happiness and fun-times person that they used to be eons ago, even if it killed them.

Good morrow 👋😎.

Maybe that should be, good Morreau, as in Dr Morreau. You know, that weird guy living on that island with his weirdly weird pets, friends, pals, experiments gone wonky?

Should probably go on an expedition to find breakfast.

Made the mistake of wanting semolina for breakfast (not the ultra-sugary tinned crap). I'm amazed I still had functioning arms after half an hour of stirring. It was still a tad on the runny side possibly because I used the dregs of the soya milk & some almond milk (supermarket where out of the soya yesterday) instead of semi-skimmed dairy milk.

It tasted good once I added some sugar & chocolate powder.

Just need to remember to get a self-stirrer gizmo. They are a thing, right?

Asking for the preservation of both my arms and my sanity.

Am wondering why the days seem to be almost over just as I'm getting to grips with being up & about.

A few possibilities spring to mind:

  1. I'm actually a sloth.

  1. The days are all high on speed.

  1. I'm living life in slow motion but the world & the solar system didn't get the memo.

  1. I'm from a different dimension & we don't rush anything, even time & space just chill.

  1. I once accidentally managed to stick the universe into fast-foward but have never been able to find out how to return it to normal speed.

T'is a conundrum 🤔

After tinkering with all the settings, or at least all the ones I could be bothered to mess with, I am finally here :dancing_lizard: !

Too tired & headed for hangry to do an intro post but will see what happens over the next few days or something.

Thanks very much @theropologist :bb: .

Looking forward to exploring this bit of the Fediverse.
