Telegram shows you stories of all your contacts, regardless whether you have 🤚 blocked them or not. now that's some innovative social feature

have they fixed it yet? I think I did skip an update or two while on the road.

ntwrks are annoying. there is a property ipv4.route-metric in NetworkManager connections, but there seems to be no GUI for it in ✨ KDE/Plasma.

ℹ️ quick help: route's metric is number that allows prioritizing network routes over each other. this is different from the «Connect automatically with priority» field which corresponds to connection.autoconnect-priority property.

use case: keep your Android phone connected in a USB tethering mode, so you could for example forward 🎙 microphone audio via fast cable TCP/IP, but still use Wi-Fi (wlan0 interface) as a primary gateway.

❗️ note that if you modify (add/remove via ip route or use a dedicated ifmetrics command) an existing managed route, NetworkManager will at some point re-create its original one, so you may end up with multiple routes with different metrics to the same places.

for now I just run this command once, and reconnected:

nmcli connection modify "Wired connection" ipv4.route-metric 9001

mondays are harsh

travelled to the next country. it's a public holiday here. apparently, the Plasma calendar doesn't have data about the holidays of Uzbekistan.

so I worked for two hours on a patch just to prove that I shouldn't work today 😇

Eid Mubarak! 🎉

когда ты приходишь в центр плова, тебе приносят тележку салатиков на выбор, и уточняют про напитки. тебя не спрашивают, какой плов ты будешь, и будешь ли вообще. конечно, будешь, брат! и именно тот, который подадут из огромного общего казана.

when you come to the pilaf center, they bring you a cart of salads to choose from and ask about drinks. they don’t ask you what kind of pilaf you will have, or whether you will have it at all. of course you will, brother! and exactly the one that will be served from a huge communal cauldron.
