Blame it to the country roads, I heard they take you there.

My inbox view gets messed up every now and then and I have to keep resetting it.

On the NES! That required patience

And the worse are the ones that completed Ironman.

By the way, any others that have done Ironman before?

My company used to give a watch upon reaching 10 years of service. I was the last one to receive it; they changed the policy to 5 days of annual leave, usable in the same year.

It’s been a silent but relentless battle! The following picture was the new state until a few weeks ago.

A 3rd desire path opened by the tree, in the photo you can almost see someone pushing a bike across.

This has however changed, I’ll post an update.

I use Ansible. Just have to be careful with the playbooks, so you won’t end up with a bricked system.

I run the playbooks once a week from one of the systems and takes care of them. In my case quite a number of them are always online (raspberry pi), so that’s convenient.

That has worked pretty well.

Should be part of the Arch Wiki 🤣

And this is something I particularly hate when MS tries to push some new UI change that nobody asked for. Outlook and Teams new UI for example:

MS: do you want the new UI?

Me: No

MS: I’ll just add a new App with the same name to increase the chances of you accidentally opening the new UI. By the way, I’ll make it difficult for you to switch back to the old UI.

And that’s how I end up with 2 Outlook and 2 Teams.

On the positive side, that’s just the work laptop because all my personal devices run on Arch.

I did. They do not intend to build a proper path. They claimed they would close it due to “safety” reasons.

That’s what they said. However, and I should probably get a picture of it, they have done nothing. The concrete block they placed was likely pushed down on the floor, where is remains. The new desire path is doing great and has a steady traffic 🤭.

Welcome to Southeast Asia! In some countries here road planning is an afterthought. Pedestrian or cyclist access is optional.

I’ve seen it a few times, both of the developers do better planning on their side (not great, just better) but when it comes to connecting to a neighboring area, not such a great job.

This desire path is right in the middle, so without it, it’s a 7km journey left or right from where the picture was taken to the other side.

There are plans for a road about 100m away but funny enough, one side belongs to a township developer and the other part to another. The 2 parts do not meet. One side is complete (up to their side of the project) and the other has been blocked with a construction hoarding for the past 2 years.

With the project not seeing completion anytime soon, people started to find their own ways around it.

I reached out to them, made a case about it. I’ll post an update here once I hear from them.

But yes, it’s 7km so people walking and cycling are pushing through.
