Trying GNOME again
Originally posted on mastodon.technology.
Fedora dropped me in GNOME 40 today after I rebooted for updates instead of my normal Cinnamon.
So I gave it a shot and after fiddling with keyboard shortcuts and the tweak tool it's....fine so far? I just need to get used to the menu bar on top instead on bottom.
LEGO Discovery Space Shuttle

Took a little over 5 hours to build the LEGO Discovery Space Shuttle set plus Hubble Telescope, with help from family members. Largest set (by piece count) that we've ever done before, was a blast.
Timelapse was captured using gphoto2 and stitched with Kdenlive. Lighting is wack sorry, I probably shouldn't have left the camera on auto.

"In June 2021, the Wikimedia Foundation’s Site Reliability Engineering team switched most user traffic from our primary datacenter in Virginia (“eqiad”) to our secondary one in Texas (“codfw”). This is an exercise we’ve done multiple times over the past 5 years, and this was the smoothest and fastest one yet."
Wiki henna

Got some henna for my cousin's wedding, drawn by my sister. It's tradition to hide the initials of your SO in it, so she added a "W" (you can guess where the puzzle piece comes from) and a Debian swirl. :)
