Happy and peaceful new year everyone! 2023 is the year of the 🐇.

I'll be back at work on Monday, 23rd. They say a change of scenery might do you the power of good and that's what it most certainly did.
Still a bit jet-lagged but east to west seems to be a lot easier then the other way round. /thum

We're closed for the holidays and will be back on 23 January 2023🎄 🎇

The noise level of my config is almost zero, once booted.
Obviously depends on cpu config, extensions, drives and load.

Power draw according to the bmc in the machine is between 50W and 100W depending on load. Typically around 65W in normal use

Looking for a slighty-vintage but libre-friendly, FSF RYF-certified and cheap laptop that makes you stand out? We recently updated our Thinkpad X200 offer and reduced the price massively: store.vikings.net/en/x200-ryf-

We recently announced that we won't post on Twitter.com any more.⚰️

We've been running our own instance in parallel, with a brief interruption (where all posts were deleted), for a few years now. Before that we ran GNU Social, which we abandoned in favor of Mastodon, and for a while before that we had a GNU Social guest account on the defunct quitter.se.

Let's hope that the newfound popularity of Mastodon will improve some parts I don't like. The update process for instance. /thum
