Latest episode: A Fresh Look at Domestication
A new book turns the current story of the invention of agriculture on its head. It wasn’t human selection that turned grass into wheat, or wolves into dogs. Robert Spengler says the traits of domestication are simply a response to changes in the environment, changes humans promoted , but with no idea of being able to select better crops or livestock. Domestication just happened.

And that was fine and dandy, except for re-using the old 8GHB card, which didn’t let me do anything else. Finding it hard to believe that a 32GB card was only €13, but it was, and so here I am again, starting from scratch.

After two days of futility, trying to upgrade my Pi OS in place, I finally bit the bullet and decided to start with a fresh image of Trixie, the latest. I didn't have that many customisations and in the end I think reconstructing those will be the saner option.
