Oh fantastic! My ancestors are mostly Scottish, I didn't realise when I moved here to Scotland that I could just TAKE some land! Off to appropriate my next door neighbour's back garden, they aren't using it much. Next week: taking over the house my great great grandfather built. It's by the beach!

I went to this talk last night https://www.edinburghscience.co.uk/event/the-beauty-of-falling/ - Prof Claudia de Rham of Imperial College London spoke on the latest theories about the structure of the universe. I wish I could pass them on, but sadly my grasp was fleeting. Timey wimey stuff. Something something energetic vacuum! She has written a book: https://www.awesomebooks.com/book/9780691237480/the-beauty-of-falling

Shout-out to the nice Indian gentleman whose YouTube video walked me through disassembling an ancient laptop so I could add a bit of RAM. I ended with a few leftover screws and a rattle, but it worked! Still chuntering away (slowly, it's geriatric) on Linux. I was amazed to find a video of the exact model.

The Guardian does an occasional feature called Flashback, where a celebrity recreates a childhood photo. It's a bit of fun! You have my permission to go right ahead. A sense of humour is very attractive.

That's a good strategy, thanks.

6* months away now. If you're on 10, do you plan to upgrade? Make the jump to Linux? in c/[email protected]

[–] MrsDoyle 6 points 5 days ago

My (perfectly good) PC isn't Win 11 compatible, so I can't upgrade from 10. I've got Linux running on an old laptop so I'm thinking of installing it on my PC. Buuut a few years back I moved from Google Drive to OneDrive and so now I'm looking at Proton Drive instead. It's all a big time soak, sigh. But worth it? I guess... The timing isn't great either - I've got an exam in October that I need to study hard for and do practical prep as well, plus I have travel plans. It's all a bit much. I'm too old to be this busy!

Sock blankets (sh.itjust.works)

Thrilled to have found a Lemmy knitting group! I'm a sock obsessive, I just love knitting socks, so I've ended up with an staggering amount of "scrap" yarn. The solution - blankets. This is my second Cosiest Memories project and this time I have a Plan. The first one was truly random, with lots of placement errors. When it was finished I did a dark icord edge, and suddenly it was smart!

So for the second one I'm adding an inner border of that same colour and (eventually) will finish with icord. I might even knit some more socks!

I'm a Reddit refugee and in all the years I was there I never made a single post. I'm very much enjoying the Fediverse, especially Lemmy, and thought I'd share my happy place with you all.
