I haven't been logging those on mine, but I think I will add that tomorrow

Hell of a week to launch a service that depends on this

Drop me an email if you want an invite (sadly it's not as open as yours was, the regulatory environment doesn't feel like I can do that any more, sadly)

Thank you! I'm afraid I only heard about it yesterday, after I put mine together, from @moh-kohn.eurosky.social

oddly enough I had a similar acuteproblem with my eye last year, and my optician at the time was Boots, who basically told me to fuck off by saying I needed to wait two weeks for an appointment. I have a different optician now

Wild to read this post a day or two after I built and deployed a similar clone, I never heard of it before

I asked this when I was learning welding recently, and the instructor said to keep our gloves on when using angle grinders - he said that because the inertia of the grinder is much smaller than a large machine, if it catches on your glove it will just stall, though he did say that was an exception

Any time I see Nutanix mentioned it takes me a minute to realise it's not a smoothie maker

I've been on one of them for a few years now, I do recommend

I think they deleted it from everywhere for some tax dodge reasons a couple of years ago

I entirely misread that last sentence and it's a great image

I am once again asking the writers of Strange New Worlds to lay off the edibles for maybe just one episode

they're pretty good but I'm more of a fan of the Tunnocks Caramel Wafers

I had two panniers, I had intended to only take one, but with tent, sleeping bag/mat/pillow, and stove, that basically filled one so I had to bring the other for food, clothes, etc. I did take a warm jacket I didn't use and a couple of other things but I'd not want to be without them

Did some fairly low-stakes bike touring at the weekend. My first overnight trip, to a campsite I have already been to. It was fun! I was slow, but I got there and back. I am pretty sure I took too much stuff, but I actually can't think of much gear I wouldn't take again.

A very orange hybrid bike leaning against a gate on a field. It has a slightly paler orange pannier bag on the back. The pannier bag honestly looks a little like a packed liferaft.

Holy shit. I hope the cyclist recovers quickly. Are you OK? Crazy stuff seems to happen around you a lot!

Feeling a strong 10.6 to a light 10.7 on this one

Michael Maclean @mgdm.net · 27/05/2026

Same, once I worked out what was happening!

Michael Maclean @mgdm.net · 26/05/2026

It's very cool, I remember the first time I used it I discovered it tries to make sound directional so when you move your head it shifts, which was very disconcerting (and I also have no idea how it works)

I first saw this film when I was very young and have seen it many, many times since. It's one of my favourites. I took it at face value the first time have been too familar with it to be objective about it. But this video has some good points. (And I laughed out loud at the "it's regulation" bit)

Michael Maclean @mgdm.net · 24/04/2026

I think the Bedford Rascal would fit well

+1, though there's also "Ethically sourced Lenna" which is amusing

#Nix folks: Do you use anything like NixOps, Morph, Colmena, or something along those lines? If so, what's your preference?

Michael Maclean @mgdm.net · 02/04/2026

Yeah, it seemed like all the London ones sold out very quickly :/ So did the Glasgow one to be fair, though I was ready (and I know at least one other person who got in)

FB had a post about picking it back up, but that was only last week or so, and I'm not sure what their goals are

If you are a programmer and use Rust, you can do this

A screenshot of a terminal session on a Mac where the user has typed `cargo install cargo-space`, which installed a package, and then ran the command `cargo space`, which replied with "car no do that. car go road"

If you run 5k, is that an inframarathon?

I thought this was Lisa Simpson

Michael Maclean @mgdm.net · 10/03/2026

or if anyone tries to put any kind of seafood in them

Michael Maclean @mgdm.net · 09/03/2026

Quebec barefoot polka dot microtonal triangle band is good

Michael Maclean @mgdm.net · 25/02/2026

macOS does that if you use a terminal and change directory or use find or whatever in ~/Music, same for Desktop etc

@edouard.paris thanks for your post and repo at edouard.paris/notes/instal... - I just used it and it worked great!

Hey, nixos-anywhere is pretty neat

Would eurocrates work? you get them in a variety of different sizes and they all stack together

I am imagining the third item there is just you wandering about in a hat

Attempting to make 2026 a year where I get really into utility cycling

Also it seems that the person in question understood things in the browser to not generally require credentials from their Windows account. Windows Hello blurs those lines by using your login PIN to authenticate, which is a bit of a departure

I'm not sure really. I don't use Windows so I don't know what the onboarding UX is like. It seems like it was easy to dismiss and create a key without quite understanding that's what it was doing. So there's a balance between education and not getting in the way of what someone is doing
