Over winter...

 I have to admit I may for the last few games been a Sony ps5 and ps4 gamer but I am very much happy with really in all truth "PC games"

They call them "Dad games" in all truth as no child feels like playing with trains or conquering entire planets or indeed humbly admit pressure washing absolutely everything to completion..

Really loving vr2 from Sony but all in all my analytical strategist side takes over so much that I still love these PC games on playstation... Next few months of winter will be playing more vr2 and really powering through it as cold enough that tou sweat less on vr2 games but otherwise for example "transport fever 2" had the modifications released so I can add mods to Sony ps5 and so far some of my train rail lines alone have taken insane optimisations and really been hooked on it alone...

Analytics side is very much always with a lot of things but really turning up the heat with vr2 for exercise has shown some impressive results even just as morning exercise...

Have a good Xmas and happy new year and report in spring with bits but very much another year more private than public research being refined before anything public... "transport fever 2 + trance" is still very much the same as I've always been as default game music can get a bit tedious yet first person shooter games is headphones always so you can hear a clock ticking let alone someone coming up from behind...

Have fun,

Marc

Buddhist

 I can go into rather asoteric forms of Buddhism and yet how gentle the supposed violations are also what we observe in nature as us ourselves have souls and indeed in gods image and yet anything else in the world is more a spirit as in a form that still enjoys or gets hurt but in itself finds itself as a form a spirit that finds reason to be existing and expressing itself or otherwise it simply can change form... We are not these spirits as human and so can only ever be human form yet these spirits in themselves can enjoy being their own form or otherwise they switch... Yes tainted forms can exist or endeed evil forms like bug which more appear an amalgumation of humans sin and folly but in short all forms still can exist in nature but with new technology they can exist in pure paradise...

I have been playing with this a lot the optimal presets for everything from plants to fish to very much upon noting fish in themselves love laser pointers of weak that also plants if given the right amount of light one thing and heated roots is also things like photon acceleration or indeed condension of photon and all sorts otherwise researved for now.

But the same idea stands.. I look after a group of chickens of say 12 or so and they love ot pluck away at virtual bugs on the floor of which are LCD units or indeed LCD touch units on the walls set or calibrated to a peck to be active touchable then that is a hen house that chase virtual bugs all day and aim of nothing else... Then you may let them go on your hydroponic crops for what a week? when you know the bugs hatch on your plants?

So much is about balance one thing but so much is about intelligence as well.. Chickens that never knew what the bug pest was had literally been trained to peck them 3 months before they even saw the real bug... then generation and the right reward can make even a frog let alone a chicken bug hunter an incredible asset to crop.

Notable changes in the last year?

 I have to say diet has been constantly tweaked over the last year and yet I removed all dairy products over 10 odd years ago and also beef and pork... I still cheat though at least once a year or very much if offered beef or pork I will very much eat it but I try to keep the intake down as much as possible... This year alone though I've been using my air fryer more and more but default to fish, mostly salmon, but second choice is chicken or indeed Turkey... I don't mind reptile, even ostrich, but still trying to keep to fish as a main staple yet chicken is about once a week where eggs though are every breakfast and just because I never get bored of it not due to anything like hyperglycemic..

But I digress... 

Notable changes to diet this year...

Switched my morning bread to 50% wholemeal flour and otherwise usual white strong flour with 75g of black olives and soya milk 20ml above water which seems a rule for most recipies...

Snacks...  I like crunchy lentils in a mix of hot pepper, sage and other spices air fried with a touch of avacardo or truffle or virgin olive oil.

Snack again is chick pea with the same herb treatment

Edadame soya bean, in pod prefered, but lightly salted as otherwise snack...

Salmon I use in curry one thing but i found with me as I don't eat Bug products like honey that i like Salmon fillets at about 150g per serving that are cut with a sushi knife ever 2cm down to the skin then all inbetween slices mixed in a mix of multiple different herbs per serving but wasabi or English mustard mixed with corn flour to stop it burning the meat and sets well in the fridge so the salmon fillet sticks back together before air fried... lemon, dill, origano, parsely but rather heavy on mustards as of late with marinades but do include a lot of rice wine or rice wine vinegar rather than lemon juice sometimes...

I'm macrobiotic Buddhist discipline as well so I'm about 60% brown rice or whole grains in every serving of which I've been for about 15 years but i do play a lot with it...

Later will have more about this but as for year in progression I used to eat curry and rice literally every day, even for breakfast as obsessed with trying to get the amounts right and always with brown rice at 80% but have been now incorporated all research from years before as same happened when i discovered poached eggs, wholemeal bread, lemon juice, crack black pepper, ginger and garlic... 

Oh yes... Ginger and garlic are indespensible... I use it in everything and especially on not thick sauces like green curry but ultra light delicate sauces like miso as trying to get an ulta light sauce from say half a oxo stock cube and just enough miso is heavenly once your pallet adjusts...

Otherwise busy busy busy but lots of the research is very much finalising...  On the subject of bugs though and chilli peppers... I think they need constantly pollinating or the chilli plant considers it a lost cause so drops the flower?

The reasoning is the same as I've always been R & D since little but a theory is not just a sensitivity to certain things in tap water but if the flower is not pollinated it drops the flower as no real requirement compared to ones fertilised by pollen... So I'm going to introduce insects is no never I'm going to use a fan that blasts the room constantly so all plants blast pollinate by the wind...  The theory is they are used to dry environment and maybe I can with generations breed it out of them but in the desert or heated type environment it only wants to have seeds where genetics are swapped and will drop all others to save energy.

Anyway happy xmas and happy new year.. a year on more fine tuning and getting notably ready for business. 

White knight ghost chilli peppers

 Have to admit i've grown chilles in the past and never have I had issue and yet this White knight ghost chilli pepper first stunted its own growth then started to grow so fast that i must have removed about 2/3rds of it just trying to figure out what to do about it... It is really agressive at growing in DWC Deep Water Culture or bubbleponics but am seeing a few results after various other plants of it kind of stunted grow with the chillis...

Really for fun as busy sorting out other projects but yes I have had a couple from one plant and very nice to make a curry and only need to use half a chilli pepper in order to make the curry hot enough...

Year on will have more on all projects but pondering redoing these chilli plants again using filtered 7ph water with a filter as heard multiple opinions that filtered water may be needed.

I really should be getting on with the fish and mushrooms and nice to see so many mushroom syringes on ebay and places so pondering this one for next year...  Robotics is coming along as such but indeed brewing my own beer from grain I'm going to be put off until late next year.

Desktop? usual KDE plasma with gkrellm, gkrellmtop set to 3%

 Does me well and as said when I have a phat playstation 5 pro that is not just a decent gaming box but a "no cheating available" I sometimes wish to switch to ps5 only or indeed ps5 and xbox but still a lot of the fun is honing our skills on besting even the evil windows pc hackers.. ;)

Very much the same though about strict tool chains and I ponder it for Windows just as much as for linux with steam but also the game developers that repeatedly slip updates in that can crud and crap on any cheaters...  In short ps5 and xbox don't suffer the cheater disease like PC and yet at the same time I like to tinker on linux so don't want such a strict tool chain either...

PS5 pro is me very happy and again my linux box doesn't need a corporate controlled strict tool chain..

Screen shot for no apparent reason other then been years...

A year on a lot of info will be updating but again how much will i have to use a wintendo box for augmented VR?  for me right now i'm happy gaming on a ps5 pro for protection from cheats plus performance but can linux get the api's correct for augmented to truly be a meld of everything augmented is to be for optimised business...

Have fun and happy xmas to all!!!

Kind Regards,

Marc

Odds and sods

 Really been busy with a lot of projects but very much ticking away on a lot of research lab wise but as usual found a few interesting things while exploring that are both computer related and not.

Lab work is still the usual Bubbleponic research and nutrients, pruning, lighting and even emf plus root heating and other research on various; including MEGA BROCOLI! which was me bored waiting for my Ghost knight white chilli peppers.

Some interesting observations though computer wise as I noted my laptop always lagged out a tap and using the usual encrypted home but noted CCP from AMD was never working but it calling upon an intel module...  Considering i stopped using wintendo about 10 years ago I needed to update the bios so went hunting for an easy fix..

Gentoo Bios update!  using windows PE  https://www.majorgeeks.com/files/details/sergei_strelecs_winpe.html

It is password protected but password is on the main page but managed to fix my stupid issue, or issues, with bios using it...

Using           sys-boot/woeusb-ng  also did a fantastic job of making sure my usbdrive was made bootable but just stuck the bios .exe in my efi directory and it picked it up fine...

Since the bios update the laptop has been having a lot better and CCP is a module now along with a few other issues fixed but i think some of it was also due to me still using multilib but still want to keep it though only a lot of media codecs were left as issue last time I checked...

Other research wise computer wise is in LTO of which using LTO and graphite gcc stuff i've really noticed some speed improvements to things like boot into kde and even libreoffice seems a lot snappier as well as a few other things...

Got fish research and all sorts so really another year on but sat pondering a few issues computer wise has been ages since i've updated on anything Gentoo Linux.

Report in more Xmas next year and have a good xmas!!

Kind Regards,

Marc
