Making a note of why things are set up are useful so you dont delete anything important!

Onboarding to a new role, hacking Clojure & Neovim
Nervous excitement about starting a new role and hopeful I dont mess it up.
Enjoying writing a regular practicalli again, which is something I missed when not working.
Continuing the move to Debian Linux
Organising my laptop collection is a fascinating journey down a long history of laptops, many of which I had forgotten about. Most of the laptops still work and run new versions of Linux pretty well.
I really enjoyed using the EzePc laptops as they were so easy to carry around to all the community events I used to go to. Although they would have benefited from a nice Atreus keyboard from Keyboard.io.
Debian is very useful for older i686 to i386 cpu based hardware. Firefox-esr is the only browser that seems to still support these older chipsets.

Enjoying Debian Linux and freedom from Snaps
