Once again I start composing a toot of such profundity and magnificence that I realise halfway through I’m boring myself and lose interest.

@anon_opin@mastodon.social @CppGuy@infosec.space @revk@toot.me.uk @mikecox@mastodon.iow.social I think I’m compliant with this as the doorbell camera only records locally and erases footage every 15 days… by the time this postie’s request were processed by my extensive domestic bureaucracy the footage would already be gone.

@JauntyArt@crispsandwi.ch @BackFromTheDud@mas.to more like this???

@ifixcoinops@retro.social saw a thing about the making of this. You’re really a long way from the things, but it’s fast and your brain doesn’t have time to work out that you’re not going to hit it.

@markwyner@mas.to there is something absolutely delightful about that sound and that backdrop. It’s like they’ve hired Murray from Flight of the Conchords to book some gigs.

@baldur@toot.cafe @davidgerard@circumstances.run @helge@mas.to a recent piece from @404mediaco@mastodon.social highlighted an apparent anti-flock grifter claiming to have received legal threats from the company - all fake. Unlike Benn Jordan who really puts the work in, this guy is now starting to ask for money for his legal fighting fund…. So much grift.

@jjdavis@infosec.exchange @SecureOwl@infosec.exchange @AndresFreundTec@mastodon.social “temporary”

@anon_opin@mastodon.social @Rob_T_Firefly@masto.hackers.town Oliver Jeffers has a penchant for doing this.

Thanks Garmin… you really know how to encourage a guy

@weirdestate@aus.social @VWDasher@mymasto.com would explain a great deal

@ronanmcd@mastodon.green “lots of history but no tea room and the gift shop was rubbish - 3 stars”

@scottjenson@social.coop @megatronicthronbanks@mastodon.social turns out it’s probably a good idea to know what this means: “The SAFELOCK mechanism deactivates the door opening levers if the vehicle has been locked. This makes it more difficult to break into the vehicle. The doors can no longer be opened from the inside.” That’s why it wants you to check everyone’s out of the car.

@megatronicthronbanks@mastodon.social @scottjenson@social.coop probably justified initially due to the limited space on earlier displays, of course “everyone knows what SAFELOCK™️ is” and then they’ve got used to the odd language structure and just kept it. I can see how this happens. I wonder what it means.

@tinmouth@infosec.exchange I built the truenas box using second hand disks. Wouldn’t have contemplated that in the past.

Ah… one of my favourite frequencies

Using voipfone for the main number. It reports the account Id as the number being dialled and on the old install this is matched on to route the call. The new sip driver doesn’t show this number anywhere in the debug logging. I have no idea how to identify incoming calls. Either it’s just broken or the basic principles have changed and I’m not getting it.

@Westcoastmaven@mastodon.social @davidho@mastodon.world possibly overstated. Whilst there is some risk. British heart foundation have this to say: “Induction hobs do generate electromagnetic fields, so keep a distance of at least 60cm (2ft) between the stovetop and your pacemaker. Most people should be able to use a hob if they follow these precautions, but if you are choosing a new cooker, it may be easier to pick one that is not an induction hob.” There remain electric options that, whilst maybe a bit slower than induction, are still perfectly good and better than gas.

Had a very pleasant week off work, hanging around in county Cork, but back to reality with an unpleasantly early thud with a 4.30 am alarm tomorrow. Back to the customer that are impossible to please and live in an alternate reality when it comes to what they think they can do.. ah well.

@NotTheLBCGuy@mstdn.social I saw one of his stupid grenade cars… he’s out a little union flag on it like it was built in the UK, as he promised it would be…lying shit

@jik@federate.social yes but also, traditionally, lead poisoning.

@TGG303@cyberplace.social @gribbles@mastodonapp.uk @matt303@cyberplace.social definitely avoid driving one of the German cars, they seem to be awful things to drive, at least that’s my assumption as everyone in an Audi, bmw, vw, seems desperate to get the journey over with as quickly as possible.

@farah@beige.party My Ai went rogue and he had to be arrested and jailed

Ever so brief viking funeral for my linode host. HappyPenguin served me very well for quite a few years but a combination of a slightly annoying upgrade path and ever increasing costs since the Akamai buyout means it's time to for this VM to be pushed down a virtual river on virtual fire.

@TheBreadmonkey@beige.party I think I’m real but then that’s what fake me would say

@farah@beige.party my Ai went rogue and he had to be the first one in line for the first one and I had a bad day

So many children and families playing music together, no cars, great food. #belfast #fleadh

@willb@infosec.exchange I’m shocked! Well….

@weirdestate@aus.social @VWDasher@mymasto.com why does the tiny office have a herringbone ceiling?

I do not have the words to express my utter disdain for okta. That is all.

@ben@bluetoot.hardill.me.uk from my extensive research, watching American films and TV, I believe most high school students are at least 29 years old.

@fesshole@mastodon.social @Rob_T_Firefly@masto.hackers.town @CppGuy@infosec.space reminds me a writer I knew who taught at a local college. He’d always take issue with students describing the work of someone like Ken Loach as “gritty”. “What’s gritty about it? Where is this grit coming from? Should somebody be sweeping up.”

@tinmouth@infosec.exchange i quite like the idea of another truenas so ZFS snapshots can be preserved… but to be honest what I really need to is just to have the data secure if the main box becomes unavailable in some catastrophic manner. I had planned to self host a mail server but that ended up on mythic beasts so a daily backup is no longer a requirement. My temporary pool of old 2TB disks connected to truenas on an old laptop via an annoying usb dock is just about ok but is nearly at capacity. Dammit everything’s crazy expensive at the moment isn’t it.

Home nas/storage users how do you handle backups? I have a truenas sitting in the garage hosting important personal files (photos, music, etc). Sure I can have another one elsewhere (garden office probably) but I don’t really want another thing running 24/7. Maybe there’s no option but what do you do?

When Bryson is among those who attended. Whatever it is has already lost all credibility.

The word ‘elite’ when applied to a business of any type always, without exception, means the opposite in reality. What other words work the same way?

@matt303@cyberplace.social @TGG303@cyberplace.social I like to do the same but usually get told off for driving too close… which is fair.

Wayne Rooney’s highlights on the #worldcupfinal half time show “when it finished” “I like a lot of those artists but I thought it was crap”…. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/videos/cy07gv7jv9qo

@The4thCircle@mastodon.gamedev.place @anon_opin@mastodon.social

Borrowed a mate's Access Virus TI and spent a happy afternoon pissing around with the weird sounds... then came up with this absolute nonsense.

Today I lost an extraordinary amount of time to the cache of unbound DNS on my opnsense firewall. I thought I was looking at the new webhost when actually it was the old one. Such an rookie error... very annoying though.

@ben@bluetoot.hardill.me.uk something along those lines.

I don’t suppose anyone knows how to fix an issue of #oktaverify selecting the wrong account for a service. Works just fine for me and two of my colleagues but not two others… we are mere users and cannot access any of the administration.

@baldur@toot.cafe @davidgerard@circumstances.run @helge@mas.to @404mediaco@mastodon.social what am I doing wrong then… because my ethics are entirely for sale.

@anon_opin@mastodon.social @EI3JDB@mastodon.radio among the Ulster Scots you will find the most ardent defenders of the union that is the UK… I don’t think this would go well.

@matt303@cyberplace.social indeed distance per kWh is amazing at lower speeds in these temperatures.

@TGG303@cyberplace.social Fitbit: “yay, you’ve done a thing” Garmin: “well that was garbage”

@Edent@mastodon.social I dearly wish this was true of all the UK. Sadly not available in NI. Different grid, no smart metering, considerably less renewables too.
