iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

@octopus.energy How can I get in contact with Octopus After Care for help with a PV+battery you installed 2 years ago? I've been trying for 3 weeks by phone and email. Installation team & Customer Services even raise internal tickets for me but I never get any response to email, phone or ticket.

“Hubble and Webb are like looking through a keyhole at an individual object,” says Kristen McQuinn, who heads the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope mission office at the Space Telescope Science Institute in Baltimore. “With Roman, it’s like opening the door, and now you see everything." 🔭 #NASARoman

How Roman will unlock the universe

This next-generation space telescope will blow past its predecessors to answer questions about everything from stars and planets to dark matter and dark energy.

@dannyrobins.bsky.social Interesting story in the Spanish mansion. Can't help thinking there was some embellishment. Took a while to hear that "grandma died in that room". The Medium was local so obviously already had confirmation bias. Dog tags and a human bone? Who confirmed it was a human bone?

@northsomersetc.bsky.social You need to do something about the temporary traffic lights at the Brinsea Road/A370 junction. They're causing absolute chaos.

A cyclist ran into me today. I have a bruised elbow. He ended up in a hawthorn tree. It appears my elbow is awesome 🤷🏻

There are so many rescue dogs from overseas nowadays that today when we said our dog is a rescue we were asked "what country is she from?". We said "Bristol".

I'm redesigning my home network. Lots of temporary UTP cables (not all the correct colour but the correct length), one cable on order (in red, which is correct for its intended purpose), a lot of head scratching and a load of WiFi and power line gear which may or may not be heading for recycling.

@itvmlshow.bsky.social Got car insurance renewal this week at £143 more than 2024. Selecting "I'm thinking of leaving" on website produced an automated £60 discount. Quick comparison site check (not yours) and I've saved £170 with another insurer with the same terms. Absolutely ridiculous.

@itvmlshow.bsky.social regards HMRC, you didn't mention people with multiple incomes who go over the 40% threshold but aren't asked to do a Self Assessment. That can result in a lot of underpaid or overpaid tax.

@martinlewis.moneysavingexpert.com #MartinLewis Virgin Media wouldn't negotiate on my broadband renewal so I cancelled. After a few days they called me but couldn't improve. A few days later, I got a call from a different department who offered a renewal with no increase. I said ok.

@sturdyalex.bsky.social Couldn't get into the @quietriotpod.bsky.social AMA today but here is my question: The FBI have recommended we use "responsibly encrypted" messaging services to avoid Chinese interception. Which irresponsibly encrypted services are you using to avoid any interception?

High quality image of the Sombrero galaxy. Processed by Go Webb. www.flickr.com/photos/19643... 🔭 🧪

This image shows the Sombrero Galaxy, a spiral galaxy located about 29.35 million light-years away from Earth. It appears as a bright, white, oval-shaped object with a thick, dark dust lane encircling its center. The galaxy's bright core is surrounded by a prominent bulge, and it has a thin disk of stars and gas that extends outwards. The image captures the galaxy's intricate structure and the vast expanse of space that surrounds it.

@davidmcfarlane456.bsky.social I can't do Threads. I don't have a Facebook account but, most importantly, Threads to a person of my age is a terrifying TV series from the 1980s... and it's looking like we're heading that way again 🤦

Having a first stab at keeping Lythops alive over a UK winter. Not sure whether to leave them in the conservatory or on a windowsill. It'll be fun finding out if either is right.

@quietriotpod.bsky.social Really good Meet today. I stand by my comment that it's a really good way to involve supporters. Every three months feels about right. I think the subscription price is a bit steep but I'll bung you fivers periodically (as the Bishop said).
