I made the cookies mostly as written (3 cups of oats for 3 bananas) and added cinnamon and craisins for fun. This sure did produce things that are more or less the texture of oatmeal cookies - good enough for me, anyway, and definitely worth not going through the trouble of making real cookies. They're not dry at all!
I recently feel in need of a substantial daily routine change. The type of change that isn’t just “I wanna read more books” or “I wanna do more for my hobby” or "I will move my workout to the mornings now". The type of change that is more fundamental, when nothing is solid; you are free, you are improvising, you are making it up as you go. Basically, I miss the shift in energy and daily life when something unexpected happens to you that shakes your life up completely. A big move, being kicked out, all your possessions being destroyed, a breakup, a close death, being fired - something like that. Obviously, I want none of that happening to me! But I miss what happens after such things.
Sometimes, when I am in public and watch what happens around me, I notice how much it is controlled by a specific group of people. Mind you, this is the experience of someone in the middle of Europe who walks and takes public transport a lot, and enjoys walking in forests and parks and goes shopping by foot in city centers, and went to public school, a trade school and university.

But the street and tram isn't the only type of public. There's schools as well, playgrounds, and all that. And that takes me back to when boys also controlled the school experience.
Here is a summary of my progress for writing OpenKuBSD. So far, I've had a few blockers but I've been able to find solutions, more or less simple and nice, but overall I'm really excited about how the project is turning out.
I was hoping that someone would start a FreeBSD subspace here. I just installed 13.2 onto real hardware for the first time in a while. FreeBSD used to be my everyday OS for a few years, and while I had my reasons for walking away I have to say I did miss it.
I think it would be fun to try running my own instance for private use, but I’m not sure I understand exactly how to launch gmcapsule. My brain hasn’t been working at full capacity the last couple of weeks, though. So I’ll just leave these here for Future Me to take a look at.
Last week Morgan prompted some discussion about identity in Gemini,^ with a proposal for protocol-wide identification and verification that a username corresponds to the same person across multiple capsules. In short, Morgan proposed a central (though not necessarily centralized) identity service in Gemini.
The issue cuts to the heart of a key question in Gemini, and indeed in any public space: how can one verify that someone is who he claims to be? If two accounts on two different capsules use the same name, can one be sure they are owned by the same person?
* Gemini (Primer) links can be opened using Gemini software. It's like the World Wide Web but a lot lighter.
