Weeknotes 50
Welcome to weeknotes 50. It's actually weeknotes 52, as I started before the start of last year (fuck new year's resolutions.)

I've been writing a blog post about hitchhiking
Technically, you can see my current progress as it's all open source. You just have to know where to look. The post should be published soon.
I bought some wall plugs
Now I can attach heavy things to the wall. Shelves are coming.
3 topics skipped here as I deemed them not of note
I bought an interrail pass.
They're 25% off until tomorrow, which is a pretty good discount. Perhaps part of me wishes they never went on sale (like Factorio), then you could never be missing out.
I backed up my Pop OS settings to a GitHub repository
Now I can copy it to new computers easily, and keep my laptop and PC in sync more easily too (I had keybinds that were CTRL+SHIFT+SUPER on my laptop and CTRL+SHIFT+ALT on my PC). It's on https://github.com/alifeee/pop-os-backup.
I made some Xmas gits
shhh
I made some notes
They were:
- attempts to make a local archive of personal websites
- comparing PCs with terminal commands
- a Nautilus script to create blank files in a folder
- combining geojson files with jq
- installing my own VPN on my server was much easier than I thought
I watched a talk about breaking DRM in Polish trains
The talk is hosted for free on media.ccc.de: https://media.ccc.de/v/37c3-12142-breaking_drm_in_polish_trains
It's from Chaos Computer Congress last year. I found it very interesting to watch and listen to.
this item copied verbatim from notes
looking at different TLDs (`.co.uk` is weird as I am not a corporation - but maybe the meaning has waned anyway - it's also not very globalist)

I was gifted a DVI-only graphics card
Thanks to the gifter. Now to plug it into a PC and monitor and see if it works!
I watched a film from Hong Kong
It was "All Will Be Well". I enjoyed it.
I helped someone with their printer
Well, really I promised to help them.
I reviewed some code
It was for gspread.
I made a typeface from wood block prints
The texture of the prints made the auto-traced SVGs... very large.
