Turns out this is what happens when you leave me alone at a supermarket.

Basically I start playing with all the electronics I find.

I found this Barcode scanner with Windows 8 (for some reason) and the browser was open.

I was thinking of idling it at my Armenian blog, but I think this was better!

It’s showing the “Get Blogging!” website 🙂

That’s a all folks…

I’m trying to migrate my life to Obsidian, turns out they have Vim key bindings for the editor. As soon as you enable it, it asks you a question.

Could this be a timezone math issue? No wait, I think it’s just bad written software issue!

Personally, I would prefer if it said “Currently doing XYZ” and ideally if it just printed the output of ^T (SIGINFO) somewhere in the window.

You know software is written really well when it’s able to use all cores as needed, properly.

I keep getting impressed with what ffmpeg can do.

I’m running two VMs on my M1 MacBook Air. An x86_64 FreeBSD and x86_64 LureOS (illuria‘s OS), both are emulated.

and yet, somehow, according to macOS, my browser is Using Significant Energy.

To be honest, I believe macOS, but the real question is, how did we get to a place where a piece of software is consuming more power than a complete Operating System?

The apartment building in front of our house feels like the United Nations. There’s so many flags.

The obvious one is, of course, the flag of Armenia. Then there’s the flag of Nagorno-Karabakh. The new wave of migrants means that there’s also an Ukrainian flag. I’ve seen some other flags too, but not sure which country was it.

Our balcony is small, if it was bigger I’d join them too. Also, we’re on the last floor where everyone would be able to see the flag.

Wave your flags, folks!
