New to this instance but not to #Mastodon. Used to be @cybette but that instance went offline since beginning of 2019 with no way of contacting the admin. Thanks @xvilo for the cordial invitation and here I am! I get another chance at #myfirsttoot, not sure what else to write, as all I really want to do is reconnect with people and resume the conversations.
#FrysElectronics stores shutting down. I used to frequent them when I lived in #Dallas.

Couple pics from the store in #Houston with a space theme when we visited in May 2015, which was close to the #NASA space center.

Some maintenance work going on in the space right outside our apartment, instead of drilling noises it's banging and clanging this time. Can't just run off to a cafe to work like pre-covid times. Arrrgh. Head hurts.
Going for an incognito look with my new scarf... Did it work? 🥷

Introduction to ansible-test
My last flight before everything came to a standstill. AMS-HEL. Wonder what would be my first flight after all these?
Probably my subconscious knowing it's my last trip in a long long while, trying to savour every single moment. Even if it was a work trip on a weekend.

How to help an ADHD Student
Some great tips for my (not diagnosed, but possibly) #ADHD self.
Back in school I used to be either one of the best or one of the worst in class for different subjects depending on my interests.
Now that I'm doing some self-paced self-study, I really need to create interest and realistic/concrete deadlines for myself.
The latest Bullhorn issue 20 is out - from major releases (Ansible 3.0.0!) to roadmap updates (Ansible 4.0.0!), and topics including ansible-galaxy, ansible-lint, networking,

Wooo, #SailfishOS got an upgrade:

The new version is the first to drop support of the original Jolla phone, which is a bit sad, but hey - it is a 7-year-old device that had full support and upgrades all this time. Hats off to Jolla.

First time in #Scotland 10 years ago, would definitely go back sometime but I'm glad I had a chance to visit Hamish the Highland Bull on that trip (who has since passed, RIP).

Breaking: Mars becomes the second planet that has more computers running Linux than Windows.
Been hearing from so many friends and family members in Texas about the situation there. Take care and hope this blows over soon.
"More than 4 million people in the state were without power early Tuesday." 😮

I got a little sentimental and went through some of my first installation media which got me interested in #FreeSoftware. Just did some pictures and below a few of them for #ilovefs to make others here sentimental as well and thank contributors ;)
Thanks to the contributors from those days at #Debian #FreeBSD #Redhat #SuSE and those who are active today there! #nt
