Christmas lights already hanging across Oxford Street. I feel like this should be illegal while it's still BST

I just unsubscribed my dead friend from the local LUG mailing list. He's been dead for over a year, but it still seems weird seeing his name around online...

The magic sausage kiosk has closed down. The dog does not understand. Sadness is upon her. #IsleOfMan

A white greyhound stands forlornly in front of a closed shed which used to give her sausage...

General election tomorrow. Not impressed by any of the candidates, so for the first time in my adult life I briefly considered not voting. However, democratic rights are important, so I'm practising my cock drawing skills instead... 🤣

General election in one week and none of the candidates impress me... I have up to 2 votes, but being a mathematician, I think just using one is more powerful, so I don't end up diluting the winning chance of my preferred candidate. We may have the #OldestContinuousParliamentInTheWorld but […]

I'm back home now after 16 days looking after Spot and Dolly. Love those hounds, two of my absolute faves, no trouble at all. Their humans very happy to know they are cared for and have asked me to do it again in 2027. ❤️

Bless Time Machine. I just `rm -rf *`'d in `Documents` when I meant to do it in `Downloads`. Reminder - **CHECK** your backups are working **NOW**. Go do it.

Does anyone know what the exchange is for #145alive ? I might head up a hill with my VHF gear, but I want to work stations and not have to wait my turn listening to a long and rambling 'net'... 🤔 #hamr #AmateurRadio #HamRadio

My son was telling me how his school have tightened up their web filters in response to worries about online harms. Apparently you can’t now look U.K. the assassination of JFK because it contain references to guns or Charlie Kirk’s page as it contains references to abortion. #censorship #moralpanic

Flashed updated firmware to my FT-891 and turned it into a brick that wouldn't even power on. Luckily, tweaking COM port baud rates and FIFO buffer sizes and re-flashing brought it back to life. I *hate* Microsoft Windows for these tasks and it's time manufacturers gave us update tools that […]

I've noticed a bit of a general slowdown in my home internet over the past week. Moved my DNS lookups from Cloudflare's 1.1.1.1 to Google's 8.8.8.8 and now back to zipping along. Some weird routing issue from my ISP to Cloudflare maybe?

Hey #linux nerds! Is there an idiot proof way to direct stdout messages to something like signal-cli so I can get program output sent to my phone?

I just put the news on. Talk of tsunami. So naturally, my brain is now showing me all manner of maths about nonlinear shock propagation in fluid flow. 🤷 Studying maths should come with a health warning!

The dog's first go at camping. I think she has got the hang of it!

The view looking out from inside the tent. A large expanse of green field with distant hills and trees.

Some scenery from the campsite. Hills and trees against a cloudy sky.

A white and black greyhound with a rainbow collar in a very deep sleep on the grass. An open can of beer is next to the dog.
