Even just half a day of doggie-daycare will leave her *absolutely knackered* for the rest of the day, it's quite amusing /cc @bodil

I was reading a lot of books to prepare for @lumi's arrival, and I already noted how often the ELTE (Eötvös Loránd University in Budapest) has come up in citations for the state-of-the-art of understanding canine behavior.

In this latest research, not only have they successfully used fMRI scans to investigate & map the canine brain, but their results even have implications for understanding human brain evolution (through the evolution of the mammalian brain)!

Yay, you can break fingerprint authentication on most commercial Android phones with minimal resources/hardware within an hour or a couple hours in the worst case

(the biggest WTF here is "wait the bus between the CPU and the fingerprint chip is unencrypted and easily accessible when taking the off the backplate??")

Babby's first day at the doggie daycare! 🍼

@lumi

I'm slowly but surely drifting from “I am trying not to minimize the challenge and effort going into raising a human baby by comparing it to raising a puppy” to “people with human babies have it easy, actually”

Ever since I've gotten @lumi I keep telling people that "whenever she is not busy destroying property, she is actively trying to kill herself…", but to be frank at least she is doing it on her own volition, ingesting glass, fertilizer, and god-knows-what-else, and not, ugh, “compelled by a recent social media trend”

On yesterday's walk I've noticed a column of smoke, apparently from a waste-treatment plant that caught on fire: https://news.err.ee/1608986420/waste-treatment-center-catches-fire-on-tallinn-s-suur-sojamae-tanav

> »Hazardous materials are burning, there have been quite a few explosions at the scene and the fire is spreading fast…«

I got a Blue indoor air purifier (mostly as a COVID-precaution) a couple months ago, and did not expect to have to use it against dangerous fumes of fire this fast

(I'm exaggerating of course, we are safe, and the apartment ventillation has its own filters as well)

After 8 days and well over 2.500km travelled we have finally made it back home to Tallinn together with @lumi ! 🇪🇪

With that, the first #LumiTrip is now officially over — but given how well she handled it (being just 4 months old and all!), I'm sure this won't have been the last…

And now please excuse me as I collapse and sleep for 40 hours straight
