My maternal grandmother would have been 93 today.
I miss her.
This excellent debate is coming up at #fosdem (you can watch live via video stream):

Boarding my flight to #fosdem
Just found out about #chaosscon happening on Friday: https://chaoss.community/chaosscon-2020-eu/
Unfortunately it's sold out :(
I joined the waitlist and can only hope more tickets become available.
FreeNAS 11.3 is out.
I fly to Brussels for #fosdem in a few hours.
Why not update now?
What could go wrong?

"People must be trained to desire, to want new things, even before the old have been entirely consumed. [...] Man's desires must overshadow his needs."
It's embarrassing, frustrating and angering to realize how many times I fell for this.
I can't recall exactly who recommended this documentary in my feed, but I just started watching it and wow, it's amazing:
"The Century of the Self"

Today is #InternationalDayofDisabilities and I'd like to show off my hearing aids once again.
Without them I'm a poorly concentrated, tired and grumpy person. With them I can talk and work for hours, I can listen and be in noisy environments without getting exhausted.
Hearing loss is an invisible disability. You can't tell that I'm hearing impaired from looking at me, because my hearing aids are often hidden by my hair or simply hard to spot behind my ears. That also makes it harder to have my needs met. Even with hearing aids I need that people look at me and speak clearly when they're talking to me.
I often feel like I'm an imposter when I call myself disabled, but the alternative is to pretend I have a normal hearing and stop functioning in everyday life. I'm beyond happy and grateful that I live in a country where I get hearing aids for free and where I have rights both as a disabled student and in the workplace.
And here are my tiny, wonderful hearing aids 💞
The soundtrack for the Annihilation movie is amazing.
Just found out I can send a letter requesting all of my information from police authorities (local and regional). About to send one.
The urge to self-host is knocking on my door again.
