Just a random product recommendation for wine fans: splurge on The Durand. The device has a stupid name and is expensive ($145), but it is capable of extracting corks that are almost disintegrated.

France is the EU’s top exporter of wine and spirits, and the sector is particular influential in French politics and society. With one of its most valuable exports now in the White House’s crosshairs, French leaders appear to be getting cold feet on

Da Linux beardude

Had to add:

sys-kernel/gentoo-kernel-bin ~amd64
virtual/dist-kernel ~amd64
sys-fs/zfs ~amd64
sys-fs/zfs-kmod ~amd64

to /etc/portage/package.accept_keywords just to be able install the really latest kernel in Gentoo.

I think I'm 90% done setting up this thingamajig. Just have to add some packages to make gaming work.

Gonna take a break for now.

I remember a media crisis in the 1980s when many of my colleagues became wine traders to survive. Now I read about that photographer who tries to survive by opening a wine bar. This time it's AI destroying the jobs of creative professionals: theguardian.com/technology/202

Perhaps we should train AI to drink wine? (sarcasmAlarm)
