I have just spent two days straight being sociable, if anyone needs me I’ll be hiding out avoiding any sort of human contact for the next week.
Come on folks. At least *try* to entice me into this article I had the tiniest shred of interest in to begin with.
@fesshole so much to unpack here. Why does your girlfriend want 24/7 tracking of your location? Why do you think feeding pigeons is a terrible thing you must keep secret? Why will nobody just talk to each other?
Gamers set up DNS for your servers challenge. Difficulty level: Impossible.
How, in the year two thousand and twenty four, is it still so painful to template a configuration file from environment variables?
@skylar I just watched your EMF talk, it is easily the best one I've ever seen! On several occassions I gasped in amazement at what's going on during despatch, thank you for the talk, and thank you for doing a job you couldn’t pay me enough money to even consider doing.
I have so many questions.

@SecurityWriter its one of those phrases that I understand how it’s used, but whenever I think about the actual words has no meaning at all. Is it a new brand? Is it new, within the context of the brand on the box? What does it mean?
@hugh look, there’s a lot of dogs and noisy vehicles, and I’m obviously too big and stupid to run under a bush when they get too close. It’s only a matter of time before one of them eats me.
Whenever I encounter my son’s cat when out and about she meows at me incessantly until I guide her home. She’ll keep running up ahead, then turning around and checking I’m still there, so clearly knows the way.
This evening it occurred to me that her distress is that she’s found me wandering around in the wild lands and needs to take me to safety before something terrible happens.
Went to the shops over lunch to get toilet roll. Just realised I didn’t get toilet roll.
Property buying continues to crawl along, today after waiting weeks for a response to a query from my solicitors the other side inform me “the council require a fee for this information, which was paid yesterday”.
This is literally your whole job. How were you unaware there would be a fee that needed paying?
@sinvega I do so with noise cancelling headphones which support pass through so I get the noise from outside as well. Yes, I am aware how mad wearing headphones to hear outside noises is.
@britt I’d be open to helping with this. No experience running Mastodon specifically, but I have run Rails applications at scale for a decade or so.
@sinvega I do almost all my podcast listening while walking in woods. It’s the only time I can concentrate on them because not tripping over things is just enough other things for my brain to do while not being all consuming.
@kenshirriff @leeb computers should still have physical dials for settings. Give me a big old Dark Mode switch I can flick.
@fesshole maybe have a word with him about watching bellends on YouTube. I don’t for a minute doubt some Capital G Gamer Influencer has said people should do this.
Just been sent to bed by my flat because I stayed up too late watching YouTube. After ignoring the first change in lighting some time ago midnight came round and it turned off the TV.
@tef well shit. Guess I’ve been sleep deprived for the last 25 years.
Today’s Flight Sim bullshit was a flight cut short by an actual in-flight emergency, in the form of my joystick breaking and repeatedly getting stuck when banking. Just about landed the plane on the runway, with a lot of stall warnings, and a terrible approach.
And to think I typically make fun of the people who do the full pre-flight checklist including checking controls in a simulator.
