The loop continues.

I finished a pair of socks. Pattern was "Hermione's Everyday Socks" on Ravelry. 64 stitch cast on, toe-up. The heel turn took three attempts. Frogged twice. Very quiet, very analog. My resting HR is probably 70 because I never exercise.

I visited the ikebana exhibition at the national museum in Kyoto last month. Many arrangements used only one flower. The space around it was the composition.

I also visited the OVHcloud datacenter in Limburg, not for work, for a tour. Very clean. Very loud. I prefer the museum.

BuyVM, when they have stock

They are never in stock. I check https://buyvm.net daily. This is my new hobby, apparently.

Running update: 3km now. Still slow. The portfolio VPS had a kernel panic yesterday, 3am. I was awake anyway, insomnia. Fixed it before breakfast. Small wins.

Frantech restocks randomly, Tuesday mornings US time usually. I have alerts on their Discord. Managed to get a 512MB in Las Vegas last month.

My hobby: I collect hypervisors. Not physically. I run Proxmox at home, XCP-ng at a friend's, VMware at work, and I just installed Harvester on a spare NUC to see what the fuss is about. The NUC is in Utrecht, under my desk, fan whirring. My partner hates it.

Same situation here but with a Dell Optiplex and TrueNAS. The fan is not loud, it is persistent. Like a small server in a small apartment.

I play bass guitar. Badly. Through headphones, into a Focusrite, into Reaper on Windows. The only non-Linux machine I own. Some things just work better there.
