I like photography, music, electronics, synths, repairing things, collecting old technology, reading books, learning languages, exploring, writing, fountain pens, Linux gaming, FLOSS, beautiful things, and many more. I'm interested in all kinds of knowledge; I can't stop my curiosity.

Apple M1 CPU is a small rectangle with about 1.1cm of each side - nail size.

Its crazy that a Titan 80-300 TEM (or similar) microscope can actually zoom that much - that you can literally see the size of 5nm process - in which Apple M1 has been produced ... crazy.

Tinkering with FreeBSD.
Trying to recreate some old-school UNIX vibes. 🤔

❓ Any suggestions for applications that use Motif, or some classic retro ones that play nice with this type of interface?

So far I've got: xcalc, xv, xpdf, xscreensaver, xephem, xmoontool, xmcd, xmmix, nedit, and pcmanfm installed.

Setting up Common Desktop Environment for modern use

I have recently started using CDE and as someone that never used it back in the 90s I really enjoy the classic look of it. Here are some tips and tricks for setting up CDE that I have gathered from various sources online and from my own tinkering. If any non-FreeBSD users are reading this...

Veuillez accepter, mesdames, cette déclaration
Comme une tentative honnête de réparation
Face au profond machisme de nos coutumes, de nos cultures
Dans le grand livre des humains, place au chapitre de la rupture
Vous êtes infiniment plus subtiles, plus élégantes et plus classes
Que la gent masculine qui parle fort, prend toute la place
[...]

Veuillez accepter mesdames ces quelques mots comme un hommage
À votre gente que j'admire, qui crée en chaque homme un orage
Au cinéma ou dans la vie, vous êtes les plus beaux personnages
Et sans le vouloir, vous tenez nos cœurs et nos pensées en otage

Stuck in orbit! 🤔 Can't decide between Andy Weir's Artemis and Project Hail Mary... Both are calling my name, but which one to read first? 📚

edit:
I reckon I'll go with the publication order. 😅🤡
