I don't know if this is of use to anyone but me, but I wrote a Mopidy extension to talk directly to WebDAV sources. So if you're the kinda creature that uses Nextcloud with MPD (who does that, madness) then I have the thing for you.

gah, sorry folks if you got spammed by my instance. A botched update had left it apparently sending follow requests repeatedly (? weird failure mode). Do reach out if you're still getting noise from me, it's not intentional!

Made a ratatouille the other day. But because we live in the UK it had to be on toast by law.

Two plates of "ratatouille" but it's on top of a slice of sourdough.

In news I am now ready to share: Unfortunately one of our dogs passed away last week, and it's taken a bit of a toll on me. I'm working on an obituary for him, because there are a lot of wonderful memories to share.

A certain airline we're using sends you details inside images, without any alt text. So if you want to know your booking reference you need to load images in emails 🤮

My stance on #LLM : 1. There _might_ be some useful use cases with this technology that could be worth exploring. 2. However, it is glaringly obvious that, as of now, their main purpose is to power the mother of all investments bubbles. 3. Which leads us to the present trillion dollar […]

I enjoy that Discord's april fools was amounting to putting in a horrible ad banner that had such poor design cohesion that I thought the `discord` package had been sabotaged. Grumpy man n all that, but surely if you are gonna do a joke then at least make it look plausible

Going crazy with my drawing tablet (Wacom on Linux). :halfy_cry: It's decided to no longer detect the pen releasing until it's really far away from the screen. So it's driving me nuts. If anyone has any smart ideas, I will be in your debt.
