  • I use GPSLogger to create my monthly travel log for my employer. You can fine-tune it pretty well and it works almost as well as Google’s location timeline while not having to rely on Google’s appetite for personal data.
    I use its built-in ssh upload feature to get my data transferred to my SBC at home.

    Telling from my own experience, looking at your phone is not going to be helpful.
    My advice would be to do something entertaining, but tiring. Like solving a sudoku if that floats your boat. Or reading. At least that’s what sometimes does the trick for me.




  • About a year ago I was lucky on eBay, winning an old Acer Switch Alpha 12 for ~95€ including shipping. I think it was released about 2016.

    Even if it shows a lot of signs of wear, it is still a very good device. I received it with Windows 11, but of course I didn’t want use it like that. 4 gigs of ram aren’t enough for that anyway.

    So I installed Fedora. (Had to rename the uefi boot entry for it to boot from disk. This is described elsewhere online but if you read this post and wonder how to do it, please dm me and I’ll be happy to help.)

    Now this is my primary device for when I’m away from my desktop PC. Gnome is stunning on 2-in-1s IMO, much better than Windows would ever be.

    Hardware wise everything works just fine out of the box, apart from the rear camera which isn’t recognized, but I wouldn’t use that anyway.

    Honestly, the Switch Alpha 12 is the poor man’s MS Surface and I think it’s a shame that Acer has apparently given up on this device class. For now I’m happy to use this pc for as long as I can.

    Something I sometimes do is to try to find a way to visualize their name in my imagination. This especially works for some last names. For example if the person you’re meeting is called John Miller I try to imagine that person working in a mill. So my brain has an image to stick to when trying to remember their name… Sometimes no good image comes to my mind though. Last names can be weird…
