Sure, but then I’d be downloading every single source ‘package’ and compiling for both x86 and ARM - not exactly feasible. Keeping just the sources might be an option though. The point is to have the whole repo, not just the packages I use, so that in the SHTF scenario I can help others install Arch and any software they may need on their machines. Muhahaha, Arch will prevail 👻

The group shall be [email protected], but yes, the world shall know 😋

That’s it, I’m packing the bike and off to sunny Europe proper :D The picture just pulls me on an adventure, so many little details I want to see up close!

The nordics have had nothing but rain this summer. Something to do with an unstable polar vortex. Sucks the life out of a man.

I quit on day two with two takeaways:

– Hardware must be well supported in fully-libre-land - I was trying to install on a Mac Mini and had to go nonguix pretty much right away. That kind of spoiled the whole effort.

– Profound meditation and enlightenment on the essence of Scheme is a must. I had one of those ‘no, this is where you don’t want a closing brace’ moments and my zen was blown out of the water.

I would have soldiered on, but personally I like Arch first and foremost because I can (and do) have a local repo by rsyncing a rotation of mirrors couple of times a week. Just in case the Internet dies one day, you know. I realised Guix was not really suitable for the apocalypse use case, so after that brace episode I decided to stick with what my spine already knows.

After all that is said – I really hope you fare better :D

I got one but in the summertime it gets little use, there’s always something to sit on. Rainy autumn outings and in the nordic winter where staying dry is essential? Very useful.

The Derek Hansen continuous ridgeline. You asked for the best, you got the best :D

Jaws?

Having an underquilt helps a bunch with mosquito attacks through the hammock!

We got those too… First bunch of bites at the start of summer get itchy but luckily the body acclimatises and shrugs off the later millions :D

Eurorack tape module? I want to know what it can do… off googlin’

I did! John Marley Centre for Music and Media 2000-'02 represent :3 It was still 2" tape and patching outboard at the time though.

Hiding from the scary Finn :D :D

We have firewood shelters (including the very important 1 m³ treasure trove of little sticks), making fire is very easy at this site :D

It’s coming, and I’m sure the baby is the more important adventure for now :D Hilsen tilbake!

Well no, it’s not a product :D What you are looking at is just a regular hammock and tarp hang…

The hammock is made by me, and it’s hanging like hammocks regularly are, strapped to trees. There is a ridgeline on the hammock and that is supporting a bug net.

The tarp is a DD Hammocks 3 x 3 m Superlight tarp on a Derek Hansen ridgeline (you can google this one, really neat) and there is a tent support bar spreading the tarp on the front-back axis (this is again my own idea, highly recommended). The trick is to have a bar that’s longer than the tarp, so that it ends up bowing up and supporting the tarp. Mine is a 3,25 m spare part for some expensive tent that I do not have :D

Pockets have come a long way

Whatever you end up using, have JACK sync 'em up. I used to have two Macs, one for recording with Nuendo and one for doing MIDI sequencing and programming. They synced via MIDI sync and there was always issues. Now I have everything on one Linux machine (Ardour records and mixes, Reaper sequences MIDI and Renoise does beats and other sampling related stuff) and with JACK the sync is seamless <3

I’m thinking Waydroid or something alike with Gapps installed with a burner G account. That can be spun up when parking app or work benefits app are needed, as these are the only two normie apps in my life that require the googly bits. Same drill as I do with GrapheneOS now - second user profile with Google enabled that only runs a minute if i need to pay for parking or a meal :)

Ok, interested. Looks like a project to support with real money. I’m in.

If the price of their product feels steep, it’s not that bad actually. I paid over 600 € to f@ckin’ Google for a device to run GrapheneOS on :o)

Yes, or SSH keys or any other means of user authentication. The cool thing in this technique is that it’s twofold and you (as an attacker) can cherry-pick the info given. If you walk up locally to someone’s running system, you could skip the first half and go with the ‘hey, can you resize this XFS image for me’ bit.
