Watching a bunch of people trying to get up a greasy pole in Plymouth

A man running up a greased mast which is sticking out over the water at a marina. He’s most of the way to the flag at the end and reaching for it.

The same man falling from the end of the mast but with the flag, success!

A man in the process of falling off the mast, about a third of the way along

A man falling off the mast barely in frame, poor effort

Seeing a bunch of iLands stuff on the introduction hashtag, which if nothing else is a good way to find them to block.

I’m old enough to remember when “larger items” that had to go in the overhead bins were backpacks

TIL: Québec has a strategy called Stratégie nationale d'achat d'aliments québécois (provincial strategy for the purchase of Québec foods). Abbreviation: SNAAQ. I can't tell if this is the funniest random coincidence ever, or the work of a bilingual public servant with an excellent sense of humour.

@yesterzine.bsky.social the thing described in your quoted post happens to me; I’ve talked with coworkers before about it being like my brain just “slides off” the document no matter how much I tell it I need to read it

@marcoarment loving the app so far btw :) could I request a “this evening” bubble for the timing? I end up thinking of a lot of things I need to do after work and I WFH so the location-based option doesn’t help there because I don’t “go home”

@marcoarment is there a way to skip this parsing? I don’t want the reminder next thu, I need to do it today! I added quotes around it and that kind of worked - now I have a reminder entry with the quotes :D

Creating a reminder with text “Book hotel for next Thursday” but it’s been parsed as “Book hotel” which a due date of next Thursday

Super impressed with customer service from Focusrite! Four years ago I bought one of their kits of USB DAC, microphone and headphones (Scarlett Solo) and noticed last week the ear cups on the headphones were starting to fall apart. Opened a support ticket with them asking if they sold […]

Walking round Exeter city centre seeing nostalgic sights, such as: the hidden cash machine handy on the way to a night out; the house where a friend hit himself in the face trying out nunchucks; the shop we used to buy computer parts from; the pub to go in to get beaten up. Good times.

Migrated my mastodon server's data disk to ZFS (which is to say, created a new volume and copied everything over) since the original was running low on space anyway. If you can't see this, it broke. #FreeBSD #zfs

@paco weird! What’s the interval on the spikes? Has the look of a regular health check or something. Do you see a traffic spike on https too? (Not sure how you’re measuring MAU - thinking the actual request count though). Is your domain possibly typo-adjacent to something more likely for a […]

@lapcatsoftware went looking for a little tool to let me pick which browser to open a link in and found that Link Unshortner could do it, so users += 1 :) (I'd love to be able to distinguish between LibreWolf profiles in the list)

@Edent heat pump (2.5ish), mode 3 charger (7), mode 2 charger (2.5) and charging the house batteries (8) - although at full load some of those will reduce their draw to protect the mains (can do it with a decent solar output added on though)

@paco years ago my dad had someone turn up one evening to try to sell him cavity-wall insulation. Dad tried saying no but the guy was vey insistent so he said yes, and had a nice beer while the guy did his pitch. After he was done he said “so are you interested now? Can I sign you up?” Dad […]

“Disposable barbecues” isn’t an activity, it’s a noun, idiots

Severe Alert
Issued by the UK Government
1m ago
There is a very high risk of wildfires nationally.
Residents, landowners and visitors should not
undertake any activity that could start a fire, including
disposable barbecues, firepits, garden incinerators or
fireworks. Even a small flame can rapidly develop into
a major wildfire placing lives, homes, businesses and
emergency responders at risk.
Follow official updates and report signs of fire
immediately by calling 999. Search gov.uk/alerts for
more information.
