I have to be vigilant about IT security. I've got a NAS full of unlistenable jazz that could be taken down by hostile heavy metal fans who never leave their rooms.

Our router rebooted itself and started blinking ominously a few minutes before the embargo ended. I sure hope that was the ISP pushing updates for its rinkydink management interface and not someone installing a bitcoin miner in its rinkydink management interface

I think I may have fixed the network. Turns out 4 out of the 6 interfaces have died in the pfsense box, including the 2 I was using. The remaining 2 is all I need anyway, and I needed it back up and running. #homelab

Cleared all the crap off the saw. Fence wouldn't go all the way to the blade, which was a shade worrying until I noticed the front rail had got a bit bent in shipping. I managed to get it straightish with a pipe clamp and a bit of leverage and it works now […] [Original post on beige.party]
The front rail. There are slight signs of previous buckling, but by and large it's straight.

(And yes, I checked if the new saw used the same size of arbour nut. I'm not that lucky)

"I'll just recover the blade from the old table saw before I junk it", I said, forgetting that I've lost the arbour spanners and the blade lift is broken. I wonder how much I'll have to dismember this thing before I can get at both sides of the blade. #woodworking

Having a bit of a weekend. My router died yesterday, so I've had to haul out the ISP router I've kept stashed in a box against this eventuality, but the router was also running my reverse proxy so all my services are a bit bollocksed. #homelab

If I don't keep my car roadworthy and crash into yours, it hasn't gone "rogue", it's my negligence and I'm responsible. If my dog attacks you, I am liable. There are no rogue AIs, just negligent AI companies. Prosecute them.
