Very disappointed that the Assisted Dying bill didn’t pass. I can’t believe that any of those who voted against it have ever been in a situation where they have had to watch a dying loved one writhe in pain. It’s cruel and heartless not to have legal options (obviously with sensible safeguards.) We don’t let animals suffer, so why humans?

Procrastinating?:
Probably (if not at work)
Two years ago we got a free sofa from some neighbours for our playroom. We decided recently that we wanted to get rid of it again and replace with a table for homework and craft. Put it on the road WhatsApp group and another neighbour three doors up needed a sofa so it’s gone within 30 minutes! Result!
/me adds more items to a list of things/projects I’d like to do and then goes back to doomscrolling and youtube…

Can I just check… is it the law to make your first 3D print a Benchy? Printer is arriving today! Yay! #3dPrinting

@bloor@bloor.tw have set to 90%
Max to see how much of a difference in regen it makes to my commute tomorrow. The first bit is downhill after all! This morning’s 35 mile drive recouped 1.4kWh…
Replying to
@bloor@bloor.tw I’ve not thought about not charging up all the way for optimal regen. As it’s leased I just whack 100% in every time, not worrying about battery life! Not sure I can get stats out about region amounts - will take a look at the app.
Thanks to @kevinpowell@front-end.social for a fantastic course: HTML & CSS for Absolute beginners (https://thecascade.dev/courses/html-css-beginners/) which has really helped me get back up to speed with more up to date practices. Now to investigate the newer more advanced bits I’m seeing such as :root :where and variables etc…

Either in each site definition or in a block which you can then import to save typing. I couldn’t find a way to set it globally though.

@staustellsimon@infosec.exchange Have you used https://globe.adsbexchange.com ? Everything shows on there! (Well if it’s emitting ADS-B)

@NatalyaD totally agree. It really annoys me that we’ll have to use a commercial tool for my wife’s business when the time comes.

Woohoo, I can capture the packets from my iPhone via a cable to my Mac… now to work out what it all means! 😵💫

@JulianOliver@mastodon.social I’m currently technically on a dynamic IP but it rarely changes. Also changing ISP in 3 weeks and will get a static IP… so both options!
Grrr, child 2 left the children’s fitness tracker she got for her birthday last week from her Grandad in her school cardigan pocket and it went through the wash. I guess I’ll be buying a new one then.

@1password@1password.social mixing AI with my passwords in whatever form is really putting me off your service. Seems totally unnecessary. I might have to move off.

@revk@toot.me.uk @Edent@mastodon.social Same. They are supposed to be the updated versions of Chris Aguilar’s that you linked to in your blogpost, just moved from sourceforge.

@TechConnectify@mas.to 5 years of battling with an overly aggressive fire door between a playroom and a garage and now it’s fixed! Thank you!
I think I’m just about done with Premium Bonds - I have a relatively decent amount in there (but not near the maximum) and I used to regularly get a monthly prize. This past year I’ve got much less back. #premiumbonds

@organicmaps I used it in Jersey (Channel Islands) for navigation after immediately using all my data as roaming was not included there. I will be downloading maps for future trips out of the Uk for sure!

@Floppy@mastodon.me.uk Not quite, I’m just over the county boundary westwards. I will be driving past tomorrow though (sadly for a funeral). I grew up in #EastGrinstead so know the area fairly well!
Ooooh BOGOF on .uk domains (and .co.uk and .me.uk) at @krystalhosting@mastodon.social
Must resist random registrations! I don’t really need any more even though finding something super short is tempting!

@dan@mastodon.durrans.com @Erased_Citizen@cupoftea.social we drove through Rhyl last week. 😳 Emphasis on the “drove through”. Mind you Llandudno was pretty mental too. Conwy was lovely though.

Hmm, still trying to figure out how to sniff the commands sent from the app to the mower. I suspect it might be tricky with iOS. 😕
Replying to
@staustellsimon@infosec.exchange I did notice! But you could be right that 900Mbps is excessive. Trouble is the lower speed also drops the upload which is annoying for VPN in etc.
Upgraded my #3Dprinter to add the Canvas module which can switch between 4 different spools of filament (I should have bought the combo pack to start with). I know its incredibly wasteful for multi-colour prints if the colours change lots of times on each layer, so will try not to use it too much it for that sort of print - but for prints where the colour changes once or twice then that’s fine. I just want all the colours now! Doh!

Having a look at our (tiny) magic club’s rules/constitution and realising it’s majorly out of date. I’m hoping I can rewrite and simplify and get it sorted for next month as to change it probably needs a formal EGM. Will try and write something in for the future that allows collective agreements via an online method to avoid the need to all meet in person! Also changing the age from 14 or over to 18 or over as otherwise we’re in safeguarding territory and we really don’t need that!
Hmm, can I rebuild a Debian machine (currently an unused proxmox server) that has no monitor, keyboard or mouse with a combination of these two… 🤔

My current main “server” is a Raspberry Pi 4 which has various Docker services, but things would probably better running on the HP EliteDesk 800 G3 which is largely unused.

@leiawelsh@toot.wales I have the grim prospect of having to vote Tory as the lesser evil to Reform Ltd. 🤮
Odd, my Unifi Cloud Gateway ethernet cable link to the ONT dropped from 2.5GbE to just FE. Reseating both ends of the cable fixed it, next time I should check if it’s one end in particular.

Coming back to the top of the thread to save @ spamming everyone…
Youtube folk really rate the Bambu A1 (or mini) as an entry level machine. The ecosystem side of it is good for kids to use.
The Creality Ender V3 is cheaper and more basic, but I’d probably want to set up Octoprint etc. Creality also now have the SparkX i7 which is directly in competition with the A1 so that looks extremely tempting.
Is multi-colour overkill to start with? Probably.
Arrrgh.

Recommendations for providers welcome (I really wanted to look at A&A but I can’t justify the extra cost).

@1password@1password.social and now you’re putting the price up. Probably time to not renew and move elsewhere then.
I’m increasingly having to remove my glasses to read things like my phone and books… 😩🥸
Well our entry seemed very “Eurovision” this year. #uk #eurovision #eurovision2026
Yet again I’m failing to sleep after my 2nd night shift. Grrr! I only managed about an hours nap from 2:15-3:15 on a sofa, so why can’t I sleep now?!
