Oh drat & bad words. Just got back from the art supply upcycle place & found this splendid little pencil case made of shaved wood (about the thickness of cardstock).

All my crochet hooks fit into it tidily—except the bignormous one, which is about 3/16" too long 🤦

This Offends My Delicate Sense of Order & Design

A pair of heart shaped #pendant made with #SterlingSilver and eco resin. The one is made with old wristwatch elements and the other with an old obsolete PCB! #recycle #upcycle #reuse! Available with nylon cord or silver chain!

@BrodieOnLinux nodds in agreement

Shit's expensive & resource-intensive to make.

  • Also I think it's peoples' inalienable right to use their own hardware the bought with whatever software they like.

I started @OS1337 because I want to have the simplest possible #OS akin to a #Firmware I can still use.

  • It doesn't mean it'll be user-friendly or for everyone or even a good idea. I think it's like someone in 25+ years salvaging a rusted-out CyberTruck body: It's better than having no body to build a car from!

One of the main values of Muff is the idea of ​​Less waste. We actively participate in sustainable food production & consumption. We have developed a process in the cycle “from farm to table and from table to farm”. We collect & compost waste from the kitchen, creatively use whole parts of plants, trying to find new tasty ideas for dishes from leftovers…
Stale bread is always a great challenge! Today we bland stale focaccia, cooked rice, parsley, nutritional yeast and some tasty oil and formed and fried in oil… Super tasty!

How do you use stale bread? Let’s share some tips!

Continued thread

Talking with the folks in the local #vintage / #retrocomputing community, they clued me in that the #ThinkPad #RAID is a steaming pile of 💩 and not worth the trouble.

🤷 Oh well. Thanks for cluing me in

So I swapped out the two testing #NVMe drives I was using and reinstalled the original sticks - to have #windoz10 demanding for the #bitlocker recovery key. 🤦‍♂️

Well, time to wipe & install #windoz11 then.

Install went fine, only 4 rando #drivers to find for all #devices to be recognized and working.

Using my #CTT scripts to install the majority of applications, then to remove the #spyware #bloatware and other garbage #micro$oft added to #windows11

Then migrate my #data from my other ThinkPad. Welcome to my #sunday #funday

These tiny, feminine cowrie shell earrings are reminiscent of a yoni shape with a rustic, Picasso finish. They are framed with sterling silver filigree & paired with freshwater pearls that have been salvaged/upcycled from broken vintage. They hang from hand forged sterling silver ear wires in my little cobra shape--perfect for pierced ears or for wearing through tunnels if you have stretched lobes.

Earrings measure 1 3/4" or 4.5cm.
