  • Funny thing is, on my laptop there’s an issue with Linux and browsers. Any video or animation, even little animations, runs at like 3fps. This makes using a browser virtually impossible.

    Everything else works well, but that just doesn’t make Linux an option for me right now. I tried a variety of browsers and distros. It’s really frustrating. It’s not even a bad laptop, Lenovo Legion 5 pro RTX3060.










  • I’m 31 now and I woke up a few days ago with a painful left ankle joint. Didn’t do anything wrong with it, just woke up like that. Now walking hurts. Went to the doctor, she said structurally everything is fine and it could have to do with the shape of my feet, that that joint and tendons overcompensate and I finally started feeling that. Now I need to get insoles to compensate.

    I hope the worst pain will pass soon, I’m taking it easy but it kinda sucks.







  • I like the work culture in the Netherlands, on the whole, there’s a focus on work/life balance. I get to spend a day per week with my kids and I only lose 30% of the pay of that day.

    After I spend those days, which are 45 total, I can still spend a day in the week with my kid, unpaid. But my boss cannot block me from doing that and needs to keep my 40 hour contract intact for when I want to resume my full-time work.

    Also I don’t actually lose 20% of my pay, but due to government help I lose about 12% doing this unpaid day.
