@mattb I keep thinking about trying pilates. Would you recommend? Do you do a group, did you start 1-on-1?

Spent a while trying to get EPS wired up on my solar inverter last night. Couldn't get it to stay powered after turning off the mains. It seems it needed to detect an actual load to stay active, just the freezer wouldn't cut it as it was idling. I had to plug a 6W lamp in just to make it […]

@danielholt we still play it at our annual LAN parties for lapsed gamers. As you’d expect, all the old classic like that come out. Invariably someone uses too many nukes They keep on riiiiiising!

Bugger. Discovered my model of Kia EV3 won’t do V2L. That was my emergency backup plan. Now I need to wire up the EPS port on the solar inverter instead, which will only give 5.8kwh assuming it’s actually full. I think it’s time to invest in bigger house batteries.

I’ve just realised the mosque in my home town has taken over what was the old Mecca Bingo hall when I was growing up. I can’t work out if that’s coincidence or not.

Why why why is it so difficult to get tradespeople to respond to a request for a quote, or actually come out to visit when they say they will? I'm gaining quite the catalogue of excuses – today's was that they got flooded by their upstairs neighbour.

I do love Fedi but the dogmatic anti AI rhetoric on here is starting to get really toxic. Barely any nuance allowed, no appreciation of “right tool for the job”. It’s quite sad.

Spending some tokens this evening getting a hobby Rails + Turbo app entirely ported to Go + htmx. Scarily quick, using existing Rails system specs as a grounding for the port.

Unexpected usefulness of Claude Code: “check these YouTube videos to see if they’re suitable for a 6 year old”. It grabs the subtitles and categorises instances of bleeped profanity and non-bleeped mild curses (damn, hell etc). I’ve already seen them so know the theming is ok, just needed a […]

@0xabad1dea very much tone-deaf main character moves. Sorry you get these. People should just be happy enjoying Odin vicariously through you. I hope you didn’t take my PS the other day as a request, it definitely wasn’t intended to be.

The end of 5 excellent days in Copenhagen and Billund. The thing we’ve learnt most is that Mr. 6 loves wandering around foreign cities looking at cool buildings so there will be much more of this in our future. All the Lego everything was great as well, especially the Lego House.

We reached the stage of heatwave earlier where the shower overheats and forgets how to control its valves. Quick scramble into the loft to turn the manual valves off. Will try again in the morning 🫠
