"I became an Anarchist when I decided to drop the theories and stop seeking power. When I stopped concerning myself with those things I realised that true Anarchy is my nature. It is our nature. It is what we were doing before the theories arrived, it is what we were doing before we were encouraged to be in competition with each other."

- Benjamin Zephaniah, 'Why I Am an Anarchist'

Seeing the new Lego Rocket Racer minifig [1] gives me so much nostalgia playing the old Lego Racers game on PC [2] as a kid. One of my favorites. Want to see if I can play the N64 version on my Linux laptop!

Watched The Secret of NIMH last night after seeing it recommended enough. Yeah, it's really good. Still thinking about it.

Learned of nice command line tool called doggo.

> doggo is a modern command-line DNS client (like dig) written in Golang. It outputs information in a neat concise manner and supports protocols like DoH, DoT and DNSCrypt as well.
