    Nah, it’s not “too heavy” the linux kernel is running on all kinds of tiny processors.

    My limited understanding is, that usually the problem is a lack of support and assistance from the hardware manufacturer to optimise the OS for their hardware.

    This is why GrapheneOS and similar have poorer performance on phones et cetera.



  • What a great question!

    I think the future is going to be pretty fucken awful. I’m sorry, but everything is just so bleak.

    Like if you think about how things were 10 years ago in February 2016, and compare it to now, and then extrapolate into the future, it’s not really easy to find things that are going in the right direction.

    We’re supposed to be addressing Climate Change and Plastic waste, but populations the world over are lurching to the right and choosing instead to be mean to poor people.

    That said, apparently we’re really terrible at predicting the future. “If You’re Listening” podcast did a short series about this. There was some audio messages recorded in the 1950s (?) that were intended to be listened to in the distant future, like now. The things they predicted were just bonkers really.










  • I’ve never really felt awkward about killing mice and other pests. I get that some people do, but it’s not important to me.

    For the bait I’ve been using pre-baited traps. I know this must sound pathetic but, the bait seems to work really well and it lasts for 6 or more mice so it’s not an outright waste.

    Dealing with previous infestations I’ve found that a range of strategies is best. Traps & poison, different brands. If you only do one thing they seem to wise up.

    If I have to go back for more traps I might try chocolate, thanks.







  • Just at the moment I have a special hatred for mice.

    The mice around here are tiny and often don’t trip a mouse trap.

    IDK if we have one or several dozen in our house but one of the little bastards was watching me watching it this morning. It’s infuriating.

    Imagine a person just standing in your living room watching you because they know you’re too slow and decrepit to catch them with your bare hands. The moment you turn your back they’re eating your food and shitting under your sofa.

    We haven’t had a problem in the last few months. The weather has changed so I guess the little bastards are on the move. Yesterday I put baits outside and a few traps inside, but I’m going to escalate later today with more traps and more baits.
