I terraformed Mars last weekend! It was a blast 🌑 🌡 🎍
We almost managed to cover every tile and I, playing the Eco corporation, came in 🥇
Just bought a turntable and it came with this. Not only is #FreeSoftware all over the place, companies apparently now also care about letting their users know about it 👍🏻
There is some irony to shipping a CD with a turntable though 🤓
I finally did my first print on the Phrozen Sonic Mini! With its monochrome LCD, it really was a lot faster than the Elegoo Mars 👍
The model is a #Warhammer Chaos Space Marine Havoc with a Lascannon.

Treated myself to a gift for defending my PhD:
#TwilightImperium by FantasyFlightGames!
I had my eyes on this for a while now and am very excited to play it soon!
Look at all the stuff! It even comes with its own lorebook 😍
It seems like the servants of the Allfather were watching over us.
And there were also some nice ice crystals in a cave.
Spent the weekend with some wonderful people in a cabin in the hills. Ate lots of tasty food and went for two small hikes!
Weather today? Blizzard.
Weather tomorrow? Blizzard.
Weather on Sunday? Blizzard and Blowing Snow.

Well, I guess they call it #Iceland for a reason.
As someone from #Germany, am always astonished by internet and phone services in other countries. I just got a contract in #Iceland that has unlimited traffic at ↓500/↑500 Mbit/s.
The building already had fibre and the technician quickly pulled a cable up to my flat (for free).
I could have got ↓1000/↑1000 Mbit/s for 10€ extra. It took them 2 days to set everything up from submitting the order. And one can change ISP at any time.
I managed to get out of town for the first time last Saturday. Great views from Mount Esja!
And, yes, that's snow on the mountain 🤩
Some people in #Iceland are sad about the weather. I am sad that I had to pay 10.68€ for this piece of Emmentaler.
Walking through down town Reykjavik and suddenly I am in #BaldursGate! This place is truly magic. I hope they have a bag of holding for me, I have always wanted one of those 😀
It's the end of my first week in #Iceland. I have pretty much walked all over Reykjavik already!
Happy that my quarantine is finally over, but sad that the bars have been closed this weekend, because of Covid.

How to stream a Windows game from your #Linux Desktop to your #Android TV -- and have fun doing it.
A very good read:
The Decline of Usability

I always feel like an old man when people tell me how modern mobile touch UIs are so user-friendly and how desktops are so bad.

There have been a few other guides, but I basically had this written already! Hope it helps some folks.
I have fixed/updated the Unigine benchmark ports on #FreeBSD. Heaven and Valley work again with the linux-c7 compatibility. Port for Superposition is on its way.
A really nice way to check drivers and hardware. Wish there were more games with this engine.
C++, UNIX and random other nerd stuff. Occasionally politics. Likes mountains and the north.
