Today's work related training is already triggering my PTSD from school PE! "Wear comfortable clothing, flat shoes and remove any piercings. Meet at the dojo." Anyway, I am about to find out just what the Prevention and Management of Violence and Aggression involves. What's wrong with just […]

Fair play though. Myna seems to cope well with my Yorkshire accent, but it does make my laptop CPU nice and warm.

Snaps are Ubuntu's shiny new packaging format. So, Ubuntu asks people to test Myna with... ... apt packages. 😆

Horrendously busy night shift. Two hours late finishing. And then my recovery sleep interrupted by something whining... Back to work in a few hours. If I was in the UK, I'd get 11 hours rest between shifts. But also, have you seen that country lately? What a shambles! 🤪

Yes, I have just rewarded her attention seeking. Oops!

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

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... 🤣

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?

Seems to be OK except that /etc/debian_version say 13 while lsb_release -a still tells me I'm on Bookworm. 🔥

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?

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.
