We basically need one toilet per teenager and then one toilet for everybody else.

This is a great race engineering story! 🤯 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=--gfBRgeIZo #ev #formulae #motorsport

RE: https://mastodon.world/@MonotoneofBill/116544337563621378 This one's worthy of you, @neil

My wife is off to Sète this evening, sailing exam first thing in the morning. Sending her good exam vibes! 🤞 She's put in loads of work, I'm confident she'll pass, but she's not gone with an official school so it's always a bit "have we missed something??" If she *does* pass, I think I'll have […]

Noticed the local VW dealer has the *exact same* ID.Buzz as ours for sale, similar mileage, same age. They want the same money as we paid a year and a half ago. Looks like I was right that it was a good moment to buy...

Went to commemorate the countless victims of WW2 this morning, right next to where we stood to listen to the poems and the mayor's speech we had this. Added a certain poignancy to proceedings. 🥲

RE: https://mastodon.social/@FluentInFinance/116536449412993688 She's absolutely right.

Awww, poor little guy. 😢🥰 https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c1e2zev6754o

Jesus, that is a MASSIVE order! 😯 https://www.electrive.com/2026/05/06/wattev-orders-370-tesla-semi-trucks-for-operations-in-california/ All the better, really. Electrification of haulage is long overdue.

Started cooking asparagus risotto. Was looking forward to it. Then discovered the girl child ate all the risotto rice last week and I hadn't noticed. 😭

Just tipped this into the coffee machine, thanks to my brother-in-law. It's *really* good... https://www.idealcaffe.it/prodotto/miscela-arabica-100-in-grani-ideal-caffe-stagnitta/

Man, and now #drupal says there are no items to index, even though a test lookup of content works fine and there's nothing in the logs. Is there a tableflip emoji??

Embeddings models from #scaleway weren't working with #litellm. Couple of hours of searching and testing, it's a three line fix. 😅 https://github.com/BerriAI/litellm/pull/25395/changes

FINALLY got LiteLLM and the #drupal provider playing nicely together. Man, what a ride. 😅

Ffs. LiteLLM silently depends on 'prisma' which silently depends on node. I love picking through undocumented stacks playing "find the dependency". 🙄

If you care at all about whether public bodies, like the NHS, publish the code you paid for, you probably want to take a look at https://keepthingsopen.com #opensource

I can sleep soundly anywhere with my guard-chihuahua in protect mode. 🐶

Well. The #drupal #ai search integration for Search API *was* working, last time I tried it. But it doesn't seem to be any more. 😩

RE: https://infosec.exchange/@cR0w/116500740237683971 🤣 🤣 🤣

Man, rainy Mondays are not good for my work ethic! 🌧️ 😂

@mcdruid Welcome! 😎

I am developing an irrational hatred towards wisteria... 🤬

Well I've had my current EV for just over 3 Years now so I thought I'd do a roundup 🧵. I currently have a 2018 Nissan LEAF, 40kWh top spec Tekna. I still find it a nice car to drive, I am tempted and still pondering upgrading as I would like more range and […] [Original post on fosstodon.org]

Throwing away obsolete electronics again. I have a drawer full of stuff that I keep until it makes no sense to keep it any more. Today it's the turn of 3G and 4G USB modems. It's crazy, these aren't even *old* devices, but the pace of change has been so rapid they're utterly obsolete. My […]

A final bombolone alla crema before we leave...

In case anyone is wondering about exposure to #copyfail, CVE-2026-31431, well we're exposed of course, like everyone. Currently waiting for a #debian patch to drop. unattended-upgrades will take care of applying it and we will take care of reboots as required. FORTUNATELY, in almost every case […]

I have said this forever! The VW e-Up actually has an old style "petrol gauge" for the remaining charge and I love it! #ev https://youtube.com/shorts/DPUZMuuU_Qo

Mali military junta throws French army out. Hires Wagner Group instead. Fast forward 3 years, militants attack, Wagner agrees to quietly disappear and cede territory to anti government militia. You could forgive the French government a little schadenfreude at this point.

I have some gardening to do, but it's nice to be back. 😎

Still snow on the mountain tops of Corsica. 😍

Watching this: https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m001zpqw Apparently Rwanda has a law, every adult must pick litter the last Saturday of every month. And the country is spotless! Everywhere needs this law!

So I feel pretty dumb. I've had the ID.Buzz for a year and a half, I knew the ACC system was pretty clever (if you don't touch the pedals and just point it, it mostly controls your speed without asking) but until this morning I didn't realise it has pretty competent self-driving. I […]

Brent Crude is climbing back up to its worst position since the Iran war started, mostly because Trump and administration seem clueless and without ideas as to what to do next. Meanwhile approval ratings tank harder and harder, with the cost of living going in the wrong direction. Oh to be a fly […]

Just lost a couple of hours to this: https://codeberg.org/oerdnj/deb.sury.org/issues/89 If anyone can confirm/deny, that would be interesting. Not sure if it's just us, but I don't think it is. #debian #trixie #php #sury

I know I keep banging on about this, but I'm still shocked by the scale of the problem. Almost every BBC online news article I read has at least one typo or grammatical error in it. This is the BBC ffs. If they can't English, who can?? I can't believe how far standards have slid in what seems […]

Go #france! https://www.electrive.com/2026/04/20/france-targets-30000-fast-chargers-for-cars-and-trucks/ #ev #electrification

Checking the weekend rally results, there were three Alpines entered. Two electric A290s and a petrol A110. One of the #ev A290s beat the A110. The other was only fractionally behind. They're quite different machines, but that's pretty cool.

I think someone in Chronopost Nîmes is stealing car batteries on delivery. Twice in a row I have been contacted to say my new battery for the Fiat 500 is damaged and can I please refuse the delivery to save them the trip. Legit delivery cancellation, company sends out new battery, same happens […]

"It has been my Honor to solve 9 Wars across the World, and this will be my 10th." Do you get to claim concluding wars you started as credits towards your next Nobel Peace Prize bid? 🤔

So today I totally accidentally snuck into a private Porsche Club France race meet. I took my dad along because it was advertised on the circuit's website, pulled up to the gate, security guard came out and I said "I'm here for the Porsche thing" and he just let us in. Then we found ourselves […]

I struggle to watch a Labour politician debating on TV at the moment and take them seriously. Which is particularly sad, I didn't vote Labour last time, but historically I (mostly) respected the party and hoped this government would be effective, especially after the utter shit show that went […]

Right, how do we get @zackpolanski.bsky.social to follow @ap.brid.gy and, therefore, make it possible for anyone on the reverse to interact with him? Same goes for any #greenparty accounts on BlueSky.

Spent a couple of hours today turning all the scraps of paper on my desk into an online issue board with GitLab Issues. I now feel a bit more zen about my todo list. 😅
