Making Krillion Less Stressful

Sun, 20 Sep 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Krillion has quickly become my favorite daily game, my favorite of the dles, if you will. Seven prompts, rarer answers score higher. But there’s the clock. Ticking, ever-present, imposing. Stressful. For each prompt you are allotted 25 seconds, and personally, this makes the game a tad less fun. Don’t get me wrong, I fully understand that this is part of the difficulty, and likely the appeal of this game to others, but my autism disagrees with it.

The BSDBook: My Journey with OpenBSD on My 2015 MacBook Air

I’ve never been a big macOS girl. I’ve always loved Linux and the older versions of Windows will always be special to me, but I wanted to try out the Mac ecosystem sometime around 2017. I had an iPhone, and I had started taking classes at tech school, so it felt like a good investment at the time.

I had a lot of fun with my MacBook for a few years. It served its purpose as a school machine, let me connect with my phone easily, and had great support for the stuff I cared about using at the time. But sometime around 2020 the battery started to give and I never really cared enough to replace it. I had dropped out, I wasn’t reliant on it, and it was already showing its age.
