We're on holidays and the kids had me install WireGuard on their devices to get rid of the ads, you know, like it is at home.

For our kids, we wrote down a small set of rules :

  • french origin (with my very french and common surname, living a in french-speaking country)
  • kind of rare (I have a very common firstname)
  • that would go well or be used in english as well
  • that would survive the atrocities of the local heavy accent (teachers and so on...)
  • not too long, easy to write
  • aesthetically pleasing when written down

Because a kilo is 1000. That's why you have kibi, mebi, gibi binary prefixes for those times where 1024 (power of 2's) matter.

Still thought about him yesterday night when pouring liquid in the pre-wash compartment before starting the dish washer

I've been using my wire headphones for over 10 years until recently. I've moved to Shockz, it's more convenient but the sound lacks bass.

Un-smarting our home is indeed my current concern if I would pass suddenly. It's mostly usable manually but most switches would continually try to connect to WiFi and mqtt. I rather hope have my teenager son be able to take over if need be. My passwords could be accessed by my wife anytime but I'm not sure she realises it, it would be to be documented.

For me it's like riding a bike, I've probably been using Norton Commander since I was 10. DOS 3.3, Windows 2 was just a gimmick.

I've been using SMBSync2 for years now. I'm quite happy with it. Even in holidays it can backup over VPN. AndSMB for a while before that, until it schedule functionalities required a subscription.

Hardware Haven is very calm and articulate. His (home made, I think) background music is really zen.

Very, but bass is lacking. Unless you put earplugs with it, which defeats the purpose and mess up the tonal balance big time. I tried it when using the chainsaw, and I would do it again
