  Tried installing a second SSD in my PC, so I can finally install Debian on it (dual boot). But the screw broke, and I don't have a replacement standoff-thingy. This one now has half the screw still in it. Does anyone I know in NL have one of these that they'd be willing to part with? Preferably with an accompanying screw? I'm using a Gigabyte motherboard, I'm not sure if they're the same for other brands? #Linux #SSD #GigabyteMotherboard #GigabyteGaming #hardware

  Wondering if there are action movies where the protagonist doesn't kill the bad guys in the usual (and terribly cliche) order. So not: * Henchmen first * Followed by the champion fighter / personal bodyguard * Finally the leader Any movies where they simply shoot the criminal mastermind straight away? I wonder how that would play out. Do the rest still engage? #movies

  Watched Excalibur (1981). Hell of a cast. Helen Mirren, Liam Neeson, Patrick Stewart, and many more. All the dialogue sounds like it was dubbed, but once you get used to that it's... still a very cheesy 80's movie 😁. I found it funny that the knights seem to always wear their full suit of armor. At dinner, at meetings, even in bed 🤔. Definitely an inspiration for Game of Thrones. Old gods and a one true god, incest, magic, talk of dragons... #movies

  I received a couple of #NLALert messages yesterday. These emergency cell broadcast messages are accompanied by a very loud notification sound. It seems there's a little bug somewhere, because this morning, my regular wake-up alarm played at that same volume. #GoodMorning
