Exploring, failing, backtracking, just to identify the only viable path forward. And then scarred, stumbling forward into the future. Learning.
Boring and steady. Knowing little and questioning a lot. Mostly harmless.

I am looking for a simple office printer: non-laser, no DRM ink, no always-online, ethernet connection, <100 pages per month, scan/copy function, EU plug, A4 paper format.

3-layered apple pie
- first attempt
- worked out fine, tastes great, not too sweat with just a bit of cinnamon
- to remember for the next iteration: all the pastry and apple layers should have been a bit thinner - the recipe is obviously for a larger tin, but eyeballing the dough I was a bit afraid it would dry out - unwarranted

Do you want to know if your friend is somewhere in the #Fediverse network? I wanted to, so I created a https://fedisearch.skorpil.cz
It can search accounts and channels on #PeerTube and "discoverable" accounts on #Mastodon

@piggo with the regular #breadposting inspired me to start irregular #cakeposting instead. Let's see what mileage I get.

Had to verify. And yes. Kernighan and Ritchie really did this. TIL :)
