Brilliant idea to check out this satellite. Are there any others that receive interesting frequencies? (thinking under 6GHz)

That's definitely me. I'm generally not social, but I love clubbing, dancing and raves. Not just the music (top reason) or the physical aspect, but all the chatting with randoms too. I love the bullshit we talk, the temporary friendships and the places you find yourself at 5am. (and if anyone's wondering, nope, just alcohol)

But I can go once and be good for months. See friends a few times a year as well, and I'm sorted.

This is hard to explain, but I think it's about "who you are/how you see yourself". As if there's a tension in my head, "am I my thoughts, or am I how other people see me?" When I have been more social recently, I ruminate less and am generally happier, but I feel I lose a bit of "depth" in my psyche. I just feel kind of "thin", like a minor character in a TV show. Though writing that, maybe that's just depression trying to pull me back in.

OTOH, if that sort of data is not purged, it could be far richer than any letter. Many people pretty much use their phones/devices as extensions of their minds, and phones are a very personal, private place.

Like many things in systemd, timers are a bit complex, I always find myself opening 2-3 manpages at once when doing one. But when you get them set up, it's just a much better system. I still use cron for basic one-liners, but that's it.

5-minute job for someone with a hot air rework station and experience soldering SOICs. Assuming no conformal coating or anything weird.

During my B.CS, most power I needed was whilst doing Android and iOS development, and even then that's just for the VMs. Otherwise did it all on a beat-up 2014 MacBook Air. Specific programs we used like SPIM, the pan/spin verification thingo, gcc/g++/etc, you can run wherever you like.

EDIT: Uni provided computers with VM stuff installed, and let us remote into them during COVID.

I had the same thing, and I ended up growing out of it in my early 20's. The gag reflex is so tough to get around, I think I gradually got past it around the same time. I'll never be an adventurous eater, but I've become a huge fan of asparagus, spinach and green capsicums (bell peppers).
