It’s a long shot I know but if anyone wants to hire me to just pursue whatever takes my interest from day to day with no regard for profitability or usefulness I can offer you very competitive rates.
@jackeric very anecdotal but I saw a post a while ago that bank apps often contain a large file of junk data. It can be shrunk/removed entirely in the case of an emergency security update going out to reduce the number of people who don’t get it because their phone’s storage is full.
Even the local Indian takeaway is being needy now. Just got a message from them that opened “Did we let you down?”
What? Let’s just keep it casual buddy, I’ll give you a call when I’m in the mood* but you shouldn’t expect anything more.
* For a curry
@an0key your bins are infinitely more interesting than mine. Best I’ve seen is a really skanky mattress.
@crashtestdev 6kloc of broken Terraform isn’t DevOps, it’s just 6kloc of broken Terraform. I know it’s run away and joined the corporate buzzword circus now but I will forever die on the hill that DevOps is about culture, not technology.
@jonty if you continue like that I’ll do the modelling for how many hours sleep you, personally, are responsible for people missing. I’m unsure whether you’ll be horrified or proud of it but the number will be *large*.
I have to be up before 8am tomorrow for the first time in several weeks, so of course I’ve spent the last 90 minutes aimlessly reading the internet rather than going to bed.
“When you set it to clock it just fires off the bears immediately and then shuts up” is a sentence I didn’t expect to use today.
It’s not even outside. There’s power and walls already in place before any of us have even arrived.
Some friends are planning a weekend LAN party for 10 or so people soon and I swear I’ve read almost as many messages about the planning for that as I have for a 3500 person festival.
@an0key tell someone you lost their parcel down the back of a sorting belt without telling them.
“Don’t get a locksmith, changing a lock isn’t that hard, I’ll sort it for you” I said to my parents.
I have spent 6 hours changing a lock today, because everything on that door was slightly the wrong size.
@wim_v12e pretty sure if you totted up all the emissions involved in that ad campaign it comes out net-zero in the “nothing was gained” sense of the phrase.
@wim_v12e it’s almost all green washing everywhere. One of my previous employers launched a big net-zero pledge by… putting up a big display in HQ, rewrapping hundreds of vans, and running physical ad campaigns. The actual concrete measures made were things like switching to cardboard boxes for the pointless hardware they were shipping halfway round the world.
@rixx those are rookie numbers. I regularly have to connect to devices on tenuous LTE connections in concrete basements where round trip times can be anything up 30 seconds. For the really bad ones we have a back channel that allows firing specified commands at them via SMS.
@tdp_org “Rhona acknowledges the environmental impact of the trend, but says she takes steps like eating a pescetarian diet and using a green energy tariff to offset the impact.”
Oh, well that’s ok then. Sure that green energy tariff is sorting it right out.
@platypus my bank used to allow custom security questions, so I set one to "what are you wearing?" and the answer to "that's very inappropriate please transfer me to your manager". the first time an customer service rep encountered it they couldn't stop laughing and had to actually transfer to a coworker to complete the call.
Does anyone have a good guide to migrating a self-hosted Fedi instance from one piece of software to another in-situ? I assume there’s a bunch of keys I need to make sure remain the same but thats about where my knowledge ends.
@Edent I’m so very divided on this. I think it’s absolutely the right behaviour for photo sharing to strip location data by default, and I see the use cases for allowing it with user consent, what I’m struggling with is how to expose that to users in an understandable way because “this photo has high precision location data attached” is still really surprising behaviour to most people I think.
You also don’t make the free meal kids a very visible group of kids who’s parents don’t make as much money, which can only be a good thing given the tendency of kids to be mean little shits.

I’ve gone right off this long bank holiday weekend since realising yesterday my refill for the drugs that make my brain work got caught up in it and rather than having just enough to see me through to the next lot arriving I have -2 day’s worth. Apologies to anyone who has to interact with me today or tomorrow.
