Enjoying my old #Kindle refreshed with #koreader. The guide worked like a charm for a 2017 firmware model and cannot decide which feature is the best so far. (Heart says it's the terminal emulator )

Ich versuche Schritt für Schritt meine Abhängigkeit von großen amerikanischen Unternehmen zu reduzieren. Heute waren zwei HIFI-ESP32 Boards in der Post. Die werden mit #MusicAssistant verbunden und hoffentlich kann ich dann irgendwann meine Alexas in den Ruhezustand schicken.

I bought some new suspenders recently. As part of my deAmazoninifaction, I decided to look elsewhere than Amazon. I had bought from Amazon in the past. I bought Dickies suspenders from them.

This time, I went to the Suspender Store. I had them saved, but I had never bought from them.

My total cost was a bit under what I would have paid at Amazon.

The build quality is much better too. The Dickies feature clips with large metal teeth that will damage your clothing. The clips from the Suspender Store have plastic teeth. They also have more oomph to them. (Sorry, hard to describe.)

As far as I'm concerned, the design of the clips from the Suspender Store wins. I realize the plastic may be less durable, but that remains to be seen.

#DeAmazonification continues.

De-Amazonification update: ordered an item we buy monthly directly from the manufacturer instead of from Amazon. It was two dollars cheaper, but I had to pay $4.99 for shipping.

On the other hand: do I want to pay for shipping, or do I want to pay for fascism?
