@Tionisla I should do the same on my desktop (again).

I've given Dragonfly a whirl, but Xorg refuses to play nice.

I've thrown FreeBSD 15 at it, but my gpu disagrees and won't show hardware or software cursors under X.

OpenBSD just works(tm) on that hardware.

@hcgrove I've moved since last time, I believe. These days I have a fairly direct way to both Skodsborg and Vedbæk, making Elsinore trivial to get to.

Sometimes you find a place that's really nothing special in terms of price or prestige, but which is still truly special for some other reason.

For me, tonight, that place is Shawarma Bar in Guldsmedegade in Aarhus. Probably the best in Jutland.

The concept is deceptively simple: Flatbreads cooked on site during the quiet parts of the day, spit built in the morning from proper meat, iceberg, tomato, and red onion chopped daily. In no way unique, but excellent quality.

The reason it's special is time. My first visit was shortly after they opened their doors in 1996. I've come by whenever I've been in town since, sometimes frequently, sometimes years apart. I must have had hundreds of their shawarmas over the years. Every one of them the same good quality and taste.

That's 30 years of doing one thing and doing it really well. You don't get that much these days.

This toot was tooted under the sea.
@asjo PostNord averaged three months for priority mail for us, and also tended to unceremoniously dump very expensive packages that required a signature on the doorstep when no one was home. I'm not surprised at either, it has to be said. We get exactly what our politicians are willing to pay for...
@asjo They're doing better than PostNord were up by us the last few years, but that's not exactly a high bar to set.

Trying to book #CrossBorderRail journeys in advance is always great fun. Trying to go between Copenhagen and Stockholm in late July is interesting.

The only operator able and willling to sell me tickets right now is Snälltåget, so I get to join a bunch of presumably very tired sleeper train seated coach passengers at 06:00. I'm sure they've had a delightful upright night and will be pure bundles of joy the remaining five plus hours to Stockholm...

SJ are perfectly happy to sell me Malmö-Stockholm at a more reasonable hour, but no one wants to admit to running trains across the bridge on the 27th of July.

I wonder if the Elsinore-Helsingborg ferry would make any sort of sense?

@bettina @hunspirillen @madsenandersc @cryptohagen Det gør det nu altså ikke:

"Når du modtager din MitID kodeviser, er den ikke aktiv endnu. Du skal koble den til din MitID-bruger.

Der er to typiske veje:

Aktivere selv med app og pas/ID
Få hjælp i borgerservice"

Jeg har for kort tid siden haft ældstebarnet forbi borgerservice så hans kunne aktiveres.

@partim If I recall correctly it is supposed to have been converted to (very expensive) apartments a few years ago.
@zoeblade It's also worth noting that the Atari ST was marketed as a gaming machine in the US but as a cheaper yet equally powerful alternative to the Macintosh in Europe.
