This week seems to have passed very quickly. Six walks -- good. Three guitar practice sessions; four if you count a song played at Eurofilk -- not so good. I spent (too) much of the week continuing to configure the new Framework Laptop 12 (which arrived last Friday and, based on its color, has acquired the node name Lilac). (The official name for the color is "lavender", but Lilac is easier to say and type, and I am bad at color names anyway.)

I should probably do another post on how I configure Linux systems to boot multiple distributions. (The last one was Setting Up Sable, back in 2020, and it's actually still pretty good. Maybe I'll combine it with the Framework 12 review, coming soon.) The newest complication was my decision to leave Secure Boot turned on. There are still a few glitches, but it works.

Here, have another Framework 12 review while you're waiting for mine: The Best Laptop on Earth... is almost too easy to fix. - YT

As long as I'm linking cool stuff, Mobility scooter Relync R2 is our folding scooter, AKA (tin)Lizzy. She's a bit heavy -- just at the edge of my lift limit -- but she folds and unfolds in five seconds flat.

And finally a couple of links I ran across today (so they'll be in next Sunday's post): Solar is now 41% cheaper than fossil fuels, new UN report finds: 'The sun is rising on a clean energy age' (with a tip of the hat to ysabetwordsmith). And this visualization of the mind-blowing Terrell-Penrose effect.
