On this #fursuitfriday I’m pleased for being Buckfoxed and bringing Scottish nonsense (and flowy summer festival clothes)

Mixed adventures of a little Røde fox. Mostly fennec, sometimes Arctic. Sometimes little, always a disaster.
Confusingly named, confusingly screechy. Disappointing attention span. hardbass enthusiast.
Professional EE, designs comms systems, mid 30s.
You might know me as hibby.

I have had to explain to a particularly cantankerous project manager who I have recently secured a new project for (and ongoing employment for a year) that while he objects to sending information to his client early about how heavy all of our stuff is going to be before we build it it’s achievable. The project is a replica of one he’s just done, so we already know within an acceptable margin for error how heavy it is.
His client are building a big floaty thing and need to know how heavy all the stuff in said floaty thing will be - if there is too much new stuff it will no longer be a floaty thing :(
They probably want a floaty thing after paying a few billion for one so it’s really only polite to help the naval architects out a little.
This is my second explanation of this situation and he’s still mad about it.

Sometimes, the silliest little ideas turn into the most beautiful experiences for more people than you imagined.
This is the #emfcamp ethos in a nutshell, and we are thrilled for you to be the catalyst for your community's beauty.

@jonathanhogg@mastodon.social this is very helpful - I’m about to dive into the same process with villages and one of my big points is to work out where we overlap on many points!

“I can see you in all of our attendees and the communities you’ve nurtured”
I’ve never been paid a higher compliment by anyone, let alone other EMF orga. I want to live in this moment forever.

So what I'm reading is "This is where I get Red's plush buckfast bottle made".
Because of course the buckfox needs plushfast.

While pins on the map are not village bookings, a fridge on the site might well be.

My new bedtime wind down habit is watching late 90s top of the pops and reliving the top 20 countdown. This week in particular had a cracking chart:
https://youtu.be/QVSVEVEdcMEhttps://www.officialcharts.com/charts/uk-top-40-singles-chart/19990613/750140/
I can see some of my dominant tastes in music from this period, it is fun to reflect on my taste developing.

@JoshMurray@mastodon.social I have a colleague who once ate a whole quiche for "lunch" at 1030 am with only a tablespoon and has since been known as quicheboy or captain quiche.

Discussing a youtube video that reviews an old Kanye West album
He also has a very good video on the concept of 'separating the art from the artist':

Related to my last toot, if you want one of the best videos on Youtube for tech and music people, made by Digging the Greats and not involving Kanye West, spend 20 minutes of your life laser focussed on this masterpiece.

I delighted my fellow psychonauts by doing some amateur radio on Saturday afternoon and explaining it.
Listening to the ISS voice repeater blew some minds.

Of course all the automatic scripts didn't work due to DNS.
Why, after months of running fine, has tailscale DNS decided to make everything stop working on one key machine - the apt cache, causing everything else to fail.
