This day also didn't start super well. I went for a run this morning, and instead of my planned 25 minutes, I had to throw the towel after 19 minutes. I already didn't necessarily feel super great about myself, that didn't help :( But oh well, it'll be better next time, probably.

And now I'm shaving yaks to get a patch to eventually get merged, and I'm grumpy about that too. We'll get there.

In the more useful things, foxes-in-love is nailing it again with a recent comic, namely https://foxes-in-love.tumblr.com/post/751719046518538240. I find it very useful to label "knife" when I realize I'm getting into a fight with the people in my head, it apparently tends to stop that spiral! Yay for new labels.

Well that's fascinating: https://www.statnews.com/2024/06/04/co2-ventilation-research-virus-airborne-life-haddrell-celebs/ It seems that CO2 concentration, which is used a proxy for air quality, may also contribute to the survival of viruses in the air (the more CO2, the happier the viruses).

Well, this was a pretty terrible day, but it went somewhat better as my tilde.town application was accepted :)

Anyway. I spent a significant amount of my day fighting with bluetooth and pulseaudio, and THIS IS NOT FIXED YET, which is very (very) annoying. I even did manage to make it work for, like, a few minutes a couple of times, but a/ I don't know how b/ it didn't survive a reboot. And all of that also involved a spiral, a lot of grumpiness, and generally me not being a great human to be around.

Rest of the day wasn't much better, fought with MySQL (I did win that fight, though), and didn't feel much productive in general. Plus, sore muscles all around after the training yesterday.

But hey, I'm here, and now I can even rant on feels ;) Still need to poke the vim config, and make this shell my home for real, but it's super promising and I'm happy to be here (hi town!)
