Anyway, the way it is means that I end up bricking my laptop a good proportion of the times when I try to do any update or configuration, which is fun. Fortunately I have a GParted live USB stick I keep for such occasions, and I never lose it because I use it so often.

Should I feel bad that I have a ~240 MiB boot partition that *regularly* runs out of space? (Thanks, NixOS.) I don't remember when that was the size of an entire PC's non-volatile memory, but I feel that some people here will.

From the 26-30 Railcard FAQs: > *I am aged between 26 and 30 years old. My current Railcard is due to expire just after my 31st birthday - can I renew it early?* > > **A:** > No. You will not be able to renew a Railcard if its date of issue is after your 31st birthday. > > However, you can […]

I didn't realise Celtic had a game here.

I finally got an on-time train in Germany, on my way to the airport out.

I seem to have tuned into the German equivalent of Question Time. Based on this guy, I think it's a rerun from the '90s.

Conversation from the Othello tournament yesterday: Me (quickly): Oh, I didn't realise there was yet another room full of games through there. Other player: ... Sorry, I don't speak German. Me: Aso. ... Me: Wait...

Only 5 mins late!

I think the DB ticket inspector thanked me in Dutch. Thoughtful if so.

@mudri.mathstodon.xyz.ap.brid.gySep 4, 2026, 1:37 PM

Oh scheiße, monolingual announcements only now. German + Dutch was kinda helpful for the repetition, if nothing else. EDIT: Actually, partially false alarm. The main bits of the main announcement still have a Dutch translation. I doubt these are going to be helpful in the unlikely event that I […]

Germany, I am in you (I think).

Problem case with Dutch machines: “Hmm, I'm in a hurry and, this screen contains a lot of words I don't immediately recognise... Oh, there's one! ‘Help’! And it happens to be what I need in this situation.” *Presses help.* “Oh no, more and different words!”

Also, earlier I gave the TU Delft PL Seminar, of which the slides are here: https://github.com/laMudri/lin-env/blob/main/tex/delft-talk/nbe-lnl.pdf

It's basically an expanded version of the NbE for LNL talk I gave at TYPES a while back, and which I need to write up into a paper some day.

I'm staying in Hotel de Plataan in Delft, which has an amazingly weird lift. The receptionist warned that it was quite small, and indeed me + my case (with my rucksack resting on top to save space) basically filled it. But the best feature is the manually operated door, complete with […]
