======================================================== 26 June 2022 ======================================================== I would say its a good weekend. I have spend friday and saturday with work on my project to convert an old barn on the ground of my parents to be the home of my wife me, and soon our first child. I installed a metal staircase, cleaned up a floor to lay vinyl the coming week and did a few other minor tasks on the "construction site". On the IT side of things i am diving further into uxn and the whole virtual machine around this project. The (in my perception) growing perma- / alternative- / post-collapse computing community is where i for once feel completely at home. The community is striving to build and maintain "human sized" systems, systems that idealy one person can completely understand. What better could there be for the hard times on the horizon? And the way to implement it as a virtual machine that can be run even on really slow hardware (we are talking Nintendo DS, Gameboy Advance... and IBM PC). I think this is one of the best candidades of software to not only survive the coming climate apocalypse / breakdown of complex society but also thrive in that conditions. One another positive thing this weekend: My electric foldable scooter arrived, i think this will be the best tool to bring me finally to abandon my car use and completely do commuting and errants via bus and train. Now i have only to wait for the insurance sticker to arrive to use it legally on public roads (of course, i would never admit that i could have possibly done a few "shakedown runs" already...)
