OK, first of all, I am not a programmer. (yes, I heard the "thank god") Perhaps I could make the top example simpler.

But anyway, I kind of like goto too much. I find it more intuitive to just jump around and re-use parts rather than think about how to do loops without too much nesting.

In high school, we only did Python. I really wanted to do goto in Python as well, but all I found was this April fools' goto module.

Now in college we're starting with C, and I am starting with Bad Habits^TM^.

Anyway, tagging every line was BASICally just for the joke, but it is useful to just jump to any random line.

I am going to try not to write yet another wall of text

• I was supposed to get 3 months 50% off after adding my student card to transport system that I've already been using

• An employee told me it indeed doesn't really work and just gave me 3M 50% off code from some spreadsheet

• I tried to activate it nearly a month later, at which point it had "expired"

• I contacted tech support, they told me they don't know about such offer, nor there being any spreadsheets with discounts, and instead offered me 50% for 1 month (possibly from the friend referral program), or that they could try opening a case which may take 30 days (basically urging me to get that 1 month)

• I went out again to find that one single very specific employee who knows what I am talking about. He gave me another code from the spreadsheet. I warned him that it's for 6M, not 3M. "Whatever, so you get 3 months more", he said smiling.

There goes unlimited data for EUR 10.25 / month.

I don't have a freezer on my dorm.

Probably because they were cheap (€2.59), and the thing seems to be mostly water, sugar and coconut oil.
Anyway...

Just had to submit something at school. Thinking I have plenty of time, I took it. I wanted to write a note along with the submission, so I took my time until like 23:59:20 when I hit submit.

The fuck you mean submission not possible past deadline? Why is it not the next day 0:00 if exclusive?

The difference from Time.is was +0.015 seconds (±0.067 seconds).

In HS I used to do such timing for comedic purposes, guess it won't work here.

Got a better one yesterday with CLI Speedtest:

But anyway, I kind of don't even have a use for it. I just tried to run GUI on it because why not, and already turned it into reinstall-worthy mess. I couldn't get VNC to work, at the end just with Xvbf + startxfce4 + x11vnc.

The VNC in SolusVM is crap. Tigervnc kept being blocked by some error (Oh no, something has gone wrong!), x11vnc alone would just keep low resolution of existing display, and lightdm can't load plain xfce4, just whatever xubuntu-desktop provides by default (I don't know how to configure lightdm), firefox wouldn't run, requesting authentication (under tigervnc)...

And as usual when using VNC with XFCE, all customization is broken.

But at least the SolusVM VNC is there. Of course, ufw config - step 1: set default deny incoming, step 2: allow ssh... through SSH that I just blocked, yep.
With my mini PC that would mean whipping out the serial cable - I wish all PCs and laptops still had serial. The USB dongles usually don't handle higher baud rates and use low voltage.

And yes, the uptime, I keep it off when not in use because I don't know what I am doing.

Anyway, I paid approx. €16.60 for a year.

I was at a social event for... damn, total of 7 hours. Most of the time just standing around, listening, and questing how I ended up there and what I am doing each time when facing a wall, talking to myself.

Of course, I was also staring at my phone a lot because, like, where else non-awkward do I lay my eyes. Plus it looks more busy I suppose.

Welp, a guy asked me what game I am playing (none), and I eventually ended up talking with someone for a bit.
Little did he know that I just coincidentally opened a blog post I found, titled "A Comprehensive Guide to Socializing in Group Settings"
Funny timing.
But yeah, it was basically split up across 2 rooms, with 4 primary groups in total, one of which could be further split into 2 sub-groups (2 different topics at once within primary, but still physically close and occasionally talking between each other.)

Anyway, there was also a white board and a marker, so the already present scribblings were joined by "join-lemmy.org" and later a not so good attempt at drawing a boykisser (but still quite recognizable).
Of course, no people there at the time.

Yeah, I know it's 6. Close enough.

I forgot to touch the grass though.

So I am on a dorm in further away city, with a roommate, unfortunately. (Yes, the title makes sense)

However, I am not quite good at the people stuff.
I don't quite feel comfortable being near people, or hell, even randomly accessible (i.e. doors without a lock). I kind of have a hard time even just doing anything. Basically, the only non-awkward feeling place I can look at is my laptop or phone screen, as usual in such spaces with people.

Hell, I've been here since 2nd Sept. and I haven't even figured out the canteen or laundry room (I've been home twice), so I just keep living on supermarket junk.
For the former, I don't know where to take the tray and cutlery, how to choose food, where to return plates + cutlery, in which order to do the first 2, and I didn't yet really get to observe people.
For the former, I had questions about payment (card only - no PIN pad), but they haven't answered my e-mail.

My roommate has left for a few minutes, so I got to stand up, walk around and listen to radio while thinking.
When he came back, I finally left in search of a more private place. Hell, at this point the alone time in elevator feels heavenly.

Library? Meh, there will be people.
How about a park? There probably won't be many people at 9PM. I checked the map, but the park-like thing turned out to be a cemetery. Well fuck it, that's a large chunk of land with trees (and there's benches).

So I tried to go there, and then found out it has opening hours...

I tried to search around for an alternative entry point, but didn't find one (the fence isn't climbing-friendly).
Yeah, yeah, but a green space in a city is a scarce resource.
