I'm sure @thesecretfarmer.bsky.social knows already but I took some photos of tractors doing whatever this one is doing today, and even though we've had rain it's still a bloody dustbowl out there. 😬

Copied a 1.2GB file to my NAS and it took forever. Turns out the NAS is connected to the router at 100Mbps.🧐 I reckon my cat7 cable could be fux0red and I don't have a spare cos it's 3m long and all my spares are 1m. 🙁 Ordered a new one cos I CBA dragging everything out rn just to pull the cable.

What the clattering fuck has happened to Wordpress? 🧐 Just installed it for a mess-about on my hosting and fair do's, I haven't used it in many years, but its like someone's put a website/CMS through a cross-cut shredder, and modern Wordpress is the result. Jesus... 🤬

Bought a Canon battery grip for the R6 mkII so I can power it from two LP-E6P batteries (as well as having more conveniently placed controls for portrait mode) and it's getting to be a chonky beast. Weighs in at just over 1.1Kg. I might not be able to lift it with a flashgun added. 😬

Those were the words of Neil Hughes in 1964. In 1984 while homeless, he said this (below) and over 40 years later, nothing has changed. Too many people in places of power and authority with no experience of what it's like to live in the real world. 🫤

Got sick of old farts on the BBC website saying send young people into national service. I tried to redress the balance by suggesting we send pensioners to war instead since they'll be dead soon anyway and as a bonus we'll save on state pensions. The BBC doesn't understand satire and removed it. 🤷

Let's just break down all this nonsense about AI wiping out humanity. AI is trained on human behaviour. So why the fuck are we so surprised that AI is at risk of becoming exactly like us and wanting to kill everything? 🤔 WE'VE MADE IT DO THAT!

Watching a Netflix thing called Bones. It was OK early on but we're now up to season 8 and it's just gone daft! It's like they're running out of plausible* ideas. * TBF it started off a bit daft, but now it's grade A bonkers... 😬

I've just remembered a time, years ago, when the phone would ring and you had to get up to answer it because it was on a wire, and you didn't have any clue who it was until they spoke. Kids these days... don't know they're born.
