Gave up on the used Steelcase Think 2 chair. It’s all fixed up and upgraded and painted satin white and going to school for the wife. She loves it.
I’m trying out the Hon Nucleus task stool. Feels great!
I’m 6’ 6” and not skinny. Wife is 5’ and very fit.

Spending habits
I've written before about money. Money struggles. Buying things to feel better. Making ends meet. How I always took it for granted when I was in a relationship and we had more money to spend. How hard it is coming form that privilege to being on my own, especially with an aging dog. A while ago, Kevin Davy shared this Toot on Mastodon, which got me to thinking about it some more. I've read some of the replies, which often seemed very logical to me. Some just made sense and got me to go "yeah, totally!", just while reading them. So with this post, I want to try to go a bit deeper into this... If I can?

#Guix survey found that 70% of users deploy it as a graphical #desktop #linux
Be interesting to consider packaging and testing priorities at #guixdays given this figure
About a third are #server deployments, on hardware, but also #vm #kvm - interesting!
The ability to use #guix for #docker or #singularity deployments and #CI were all mentioned. Maybe potential for further development?
#Using #guix in #cloud or #containers with #orchestration (e.g. #k8s ) doesn't seem widespread yet.
Biden’s order against commercial spyware is ‘upsetting the market’ 
President #Biden’s recent #executive #order targeting the use of commercial spyware poses a serious threat to the digital surveillance industry, experts say, as some companies weigh the impact that the decision will have on their businesses.
The order, which was released last month, #prohibits all U.S. #federal #agencies from #using or #buying #commercial #spyware that could pose a national security risk or target U.S. personnel
It specifically bans the use of commercial spyware that a foreign government or foreign person used to try to access government electronic devices.
It also bans spyware that uses data obtained without authorization from the government, intends to disclose nonpublic information about the government and activities, or is under effective control by a foreign government.
James Lewis, a senior vice president and director with the strategic technologies program at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, said the order is “upsetting the market” as some spyware makers have voiced their concerns about the impact of Biden’s action on the industry.
“Some of them have told me that they’re not sure they’re going to be able to stay in business,” Lewis said
