  • I listened to my intrusive thoughts and filled a cheap fountain pen with (dye-based) printer ink.

    I hoped for the darkest black, but it actually looks gray when used with a pen :(

    But yeah, it works. It feathers and bleeds through a lot on cheap paper, but it works. By that I mean that it bleeds even through 120g/m2 printer paper. Maybe I could try drying it a bit first…
    Might look good with cyan.








  • Maybe a stupid idea, but try manually selecting the SSD in boot menu. I don’t trust UEFI/BIOS to do what it’s supposed to after finding out that HP UEFI simply wipes all boot entries after booting an external drive.

    I tried switching to the Nvidia drivers but all I got was a black screen.

    That does sound familiar from when I used GeForce 8600M GT laptop. Nouveau mostly worked, but the official NVidia driver did this. What worked was switching to an old kernel, Linux 5.4 on that thing. But I don’t like this “solution”.
