When the ENGLISH commentators are incredulous at the treatment of a FRENCH team, you know there're big questions to answer about the refereeing... https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/live/cdx7jwdy5ndt

So it's going to be Morocco vs France. I might avoid the bars on Thursday night. 😬

RE: https://dice.camp/@johnzajac/116862014779676823 And this counts for pretty much anything, not just the size of a social network. Countries, companies, we've got to stop treating "growth" as a measure of success, it defies logic and it isn't sustainable.

Ha. What did I say in my blog a few days ago about Renault probably shaping up to foist Google Gemini on their drivers? Voilà: https://www.electrive.com/2026/07/03/renault-introduces-google-gemini-via-ota-update/ #ev #ai

Well. What a day for my son. He collected Djokovic and Sabalenka's autographs on his cap, and got *another* selfie with Félix Auger-Alliassime, who he met at Open Sud in Montpellier earlier this year. After two nights of camping to secure Centre Court tickets, he'll sleep like a baby tonight. 😂 […]

My son and my brother-in-law have done it! Two nights of queuing, but they're in Centre Court today! 🎉 I'll have to break off to scrutinise the TV and see if I can see them in the crowd during the Djokovic match! #wimbledon 🎾

I sometimes wonder what a tiny dog like our chihuahua would eat in the wild. Well, the answer appears to be "bugs". She supplemented her breakfast this morning with a large grasshopper. 🤢 No idea how she caught it! Only noticed she was crunching away on something and went to confiscate it.

Yes, Dimitrov! And I love his team, they look like a bunch of tourists! 🤣 Refreshing, against all the top players with their coaching teams in uniform. #wimbledon

Have to say, 100% sympathise with Dimitrov, absolute bullshit to stop for 20 minutes to close the stupid roof on a glorious sunny evening, right when he had the momentum. Absolutely right to complain. #wimbledon

What mail sending service for a public facing website would people recommend? It's currently hosted with Hetzner, I don't want to send mail directly from the server, I want a reliable service. 🙂 #lazyweb

Watched a review of the new BMW iX5, the #ev version. The integrated #ai in the infotainment system got me thinking. And not in a good way. I can see this being a shit show. Blog here: https://gregharvey.gitlab.io/blog/posts/2026-07/ai-in-cars/

28°C in the house so walked outside for some fresh air. And it's 28°C outside too. 🥵

🔋 Finland's 'sand battery' survived its first brutal winter. But the viral story gets one big thing wrong. What's real: - Polar Night Energy built a commercial thermal battery in Pornainen, Finland (5,000 people) - 2,000 tons of crushed soapstone heated to 500-600C - 1 MW power, 100 MWh […]

Williams vs Joint! 🫣 #wimbledon

[uspol] Interesting analysis from CNN: https://edition.cnn.com/2026/06/30/politics/trump-supreme-court-scotus-decisions-analysis TL;DR is that Congress can still drive US policy but it's so incapacitated by partisan forces that it gets nothing done, so SCOTUS steps into the breach. But it's […]

First #wimbledon without my mother-in-law. 😢💔 She really loved her tennis. Practically lived at our house for the duration of Wimbledon. 🎾

I'm going to be writing a blog about this. I've been reviewing statistics and working on WAF rules for a major client of ours today. 50% of their traffic is bots. 20% of their traffic is... ChatGPT, deep linking to key documents. Just under 2 requests a second directly for public documents […]

via @ekes : Dear Sysadmin, we have put online a survey on how AI crawlers are affecting web hosting. Not much knowledge has been gathered on this topic yet. We would be happy if you supported our academic survey: https://umfrage.uibk.ac.at/limesurvey/allgemein/898996?lang=en #sysadmin #ai #bots

A squadron of Canadair heading into the hills is never a good sign.

Oh @bitwarden ... 'Migrate to a New Server' ... TL;DR. You can't. 😂 https://bitwarden.com/help/migration/#tab-cloud-to-cloud-52Q80N79LCU2kkRJpuPKMy Oh well, the hard way it is.

So many questions today! Does anyone know if it's possible to deep link into a bookmark in a document in #collabora with #nextcloud? I'm looking for similar behaviour to Google Drive, where the bookmark stub is appended to the link. I don't think you can, but asking just in case I missed […]

Anyone have any opinions on the best #eu #email providers? There's a short list here: https://eu-alternative.com/?p=44 I'm sure there are others? Any recommendations?

Since evaluating possible #mattermost replacements and settling (more or less) on @nextcloud Talk, I realised there basically isn't any #webhook support in the way you usually think of it (create a hook, copy the secret URL, push messages to it). So I made this […]

Upgraded our @nextcloud High Performance Backend (HPB) container today and yay, noise cancellation! Seems to work too! 🥳 Another step away from Google.

I added a get-db command to @codeenigma's @ddev support the other day, if you're using ce-deploy and have a standalone app server you can just use `ddev get-db` to fetch and import the database to your local environment. 😎 Check at the README for instructions and the PRs to see the bash code […]

So @zulip is nice, but I'm not sure it does any more than @nextcloud Talk, which we already have working on our main servers. So if @RocketChat have made their standalone installation such a pain and #mattermost have pulled enterprise login features, Nextcloud Talk might make most sense for us […]

Watching #zulip build, it includes #litellm. Interesting... 🍿

#zulip might be saving my evening.

Getting hotter and hotter, and angrier and angrier with #mongodb. How does anyone use this crap?? 🥵 😠 😂 I give up for today.

This is tragic. Sadly, I fear it is not at all isolated to Nottingham University Hospitals. Based on our experiences, I'm quite certain the trust where my daughter was born has a lot of undiscovered skeletons in closets as well, and I bet there are dozens more trusts that wouldn't stand up to […]

RE: https://fosstodon.org/@adrinux/116789856061242460 Narrator: He was right. /me goes back to figuring out *sensible* uses for OpenCode skills.

Playing with #OpenCode custom skills. It's pretty straightforward and I think I see a way to streamline quite a lot of dev tasks with something like this! https://opencode.ai/docs/skills/ I'll definitely make a video of this tomorrow, when I'm on my proper work computer. #ai #drupal

More adventures in vibe-coding yesterday, I'm still figuring out what my #OpenCode and Qwen3.5 setup is good at, and what it isn't. This is a post about what it *isn't* good at! https://gregharvey.gitlab.io/blog/posts/2026-06/vibe-coding-finding-the-limits/ #ai #drupal

RE: https://mastodon.social/@klausi/116784665392693109 TL;DR - Meta is an awful place to work.

That thing when a string of events collide to create an emergency. Always a head-scratcher. Luckily we were a team of three figuring it out, between us we got their quite quickly. If anyone has any ideas or has seen similar behaviour from #nginx / #fuse I'd love to hear from you […]

RE: https://mastodon.social/@_elena/116764267869694589 This is an excellent read, well worth taking the time to read carefully. It's not that long either.

@greg_harvey I'll be honest - I'm a fan of Eurosky and am on it (and bluesky, which is ... ok but that's about it). For me the big mistake the EC has made here is to listen to and believe obvious and checkable lies about "openness" etc. and to so pro-actively choose to advertise a closed source […]

RE: https://ec.social-network.europa.eu/@EUCommission/116766280029168108 "W" - named after Musk's fascist platform X. Cringe. - is a closed protocol, for-profit, tech bro walled garden that's EXACTLY the kind of social media that made this mess. I'm utterly disgusted to see the European […]

It's always a relief to get your dental checkup out of the way without needing any fillings. 😅

Brilliant comedy side-swipe at millionaire tax dodging: https://jetsetset.com/ I think humour is a great way to get over to the masses just how skewed the game is for the super rich. I bet not many people know about exemptions like this, and I bet there are a lot of them. #wealthtax

Here's the video of my LocalGov #drupal talk on ethical use of #ai and some management tools: https://gregharvey.gitlab.io/blog/posts/2026-06/ethical-ai-talk/

So HMRC challenged our R&D claim. Lots of meetings and faff, no decision yet. The guy who was investigating us has left, a new investigator introduced herself, but not a peep since. I'm hoping they'll quietly drop it. It should never have been brought in the first place, they've already spent […]

She's starting to perk up now, hopefully she didn't wear herself out too much trying to swim. 🙏

Mammoth Wasp rescued this morning. I love these, gentle giants, won't sting you unless you're a beetle. 😂 She tried to take a drink and got it wrong. Silly thing, there are safe bee drinkers all around the pool. 🙄 High winds make safe landings difficult.

This is a record for me. Chargers don't usually get near to full speed. 🥳 #ev

Elon Musk (unfortunately) is now a trillionaire. We made some visualisations to show what a stupid amount of money that is for one man to have. 💸 https://www.abc.net.au/news/2026-06-13/visualising-elon-musk-trillion-dollar-wealth/106780212
