  1. #York to #London #KingsCross #KGX πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§ with an #LNER #InterCity225 - a #Class91 electric and #Mk4 coaches. Richie, the wonderful steward, is selling snacks and drinks from a buffet counter. This is probably as close to a @diningcar service as it can get on this line.

  2. Most long-distance services on the East Coast Main Line #ECML πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§ from #London King’s Cross are being worked by #LNER #Azuma trainsets. Today’s 1703 service to #Leeds however saw an #InterCity225 leaving from platform 2, hauled by a class 91 electric - 91107 β€œSkyfall”.
    And yes, I know, pltf. 2 not the most famous one here at #KGX.

  3. Isn't my fresh #ArchLinux desktop cool?

    I just love how smoothly a Linux system tends to run. I forget I install it to a 7200 RPM hard disk sometimes because it feels at least as responsive as my Windows and macOS installs on SSDs.

    Distro: #Arch
    DE: #GNOME
    Terminal: #kgx (GNOME Console)
    Theme: #Yaru (Dark Purple)
    GNOME Extensions: #ArcMenu #DashToPanel #DING #GrandTheftFocus #AppIndicator
    Kernel: #Linux 6.0.11

  4. My #pinephone running #Mobian (mobian/debian bookworm) [1] worked smoothly two weeks in a row, using a beamer over HDMI through the docker to show GNU/Linux shell commands in a #kgx terminal to students. :)

    Docker -> external keyboard + mouse + power + HDMI + phone.

    Modem: mostly free firmware by @biktorgj . Nice to illustrate modem OS (old kernel) vs phone OS (recent kernel).

    Hint: disable screen dimming + screen blanking (re-enable after lab session).
