I hate the emdash thing being used to spot AI… That’s how I actually write! 😂 No idea why.

Hmm... Apple and Microsoft announce they are deprecating TLS 1.1 on their online services within days of each other, I wonder if there is something we don't know about yet coming... 🤔

I don't see the point in marathons. It's the distance someone ran between Marathon and Athens before literally dying.

I don't agree with political violence, but if people keep making attempts on your life, perhaps reconsider what you are doing. Maybe you're hurting people to the point where they have nothing left to lose.

For anybody who remembers NDISwrapper, how's your back holding up? 🧓

Ooh 5-pack Buldak Carbonara for £4. Don't mind if I do!

Kemi Badenoch could shit her own pants, and she'd call for Keir Starmer to resign over it.

Kemi Badenoch: "Imagine a company where the boss makes a mistake, yet you get sacked." Ehhh... Kemi, think that one through a little bit more... 😂

Going to try out Jamie for a while. Enough people already call me it without asking 😂

Bees seem to have taken to one of the bird boxes instead of the bee bricks. Fair enough.

Being at the GP reminds you all the shit people forgot in the pandemic. Full volume loudspeaker calls, full volume videos, coughing and spluttering without a mask…

This hotel has Sky in all the rooms. I've never seen that before. Not complaining, as I don't have Sky, and I've found a channel that only plays Air Crash Investigations.

I must be coming down with something. Genuinly had the thought "Maybe XML would be better suited for this configuration file than JSON/YAML".

Farage wants the UK to join US/Israel in the war with Iran? Sure, him and his children can go first. Seriously man, get off the Trump bandwaggon, he's not going to fuck you.

Ehh... what is this on Wikipedia no context?

Iran has been "weeks away" from developing nuclear weapons for decades. More likey, Iran was "weeks away" from acquiring the Epstein files...

I don't think it is problematic to question why electoral communications need to be in any language other than English? Why are there citizens with the right to vote who cannot speak the language?

I'd been meaning to try out Gitea instead of GitHub for personal repos anyway before the whole Trump vs Europe nonsense. Pretty easy to set up, but pretty disappointed about what I'd consider insecure defaults (i.e. the Explore page not requiring auth).

A bit more painful, but I've setup a self-hosted Vaultwarden backend for Bitwarden to replace 1Password. Once I've got automated backups of that working/validated, I'll migrate everything over.

So I've migrated all my personal stuff to European equivalents. Domains, DDoS protection, servers, email.

I've finished migrating all my domains to a European registrar... now for the scary one, email... 😱 I have my own catch-all domain, so all going well, it should be seamless.

Between my railcard and delay repay, this train will cost 1/3 of the ticket price. (It should be this price anyway, but that is a different problem)

Everybody knows the HTTP `Referer` header is misspelled. Annoyingly the HTTP `Referrer-Policy` header is spelled correctly...

I had no idea shock collars weren't illegal in the UK. Instead of banning them now, we should expand their use to noisy children.

Not bad, particularly as it's significantly cheaper than Virgin's 250/50!

Ctrl-F "Donald" 0 results found.

FWIW Jenkins is actually fine. It's not _cool_, it's UI is awful, but I have always seen it just kinda work.

Wait, so people running a variant of a frontend framework are somehow exposing their backends to remote code execution... 😂😂😂 Meanwhile my backend app, sorry, "server-side rendering" app has no issue...

I don't understand Discord, and at this point I'm too afraid to ask.

Yes I did import proper Christmas lights from China as fuck LEDs they don’t look right…

Absolutely love losing my pension salary sacrifice to help fund an above-inflation rises for pensioners, who more than likely used the same salary sacrifice benefit for their own pensions... Yet more generational wealth transfer. Each budget I get closer to leaving the UK.

Wow the BBC just aired a piece that was reasonable about ADHD, treated it like an actual mental health condition. I’m so used to it being treated like it doesn’t exist. No doubt the Daily Mail still has an opinion for some reason… 🙄

It appears DHL is legitimately using WhatsApp for delivery notifications now, I cannot see how that would be abused at all, cold-sending notifications with links...

Musk calling Scottish people Hobbits like that's a bad thing... Now when is second breakfast?

There needs to be some kind of cable swap service. Every other year I need an HDMI-to-DisplayPort or something random, and every time I SWEAR I already have one and grudge buying another one.

"Andrew won't be tax-payer funded"... said by people who don't understand the Sovereign Grant comes from The Crown, the same Crown you pay your taxes to... Yes it has it's own assets, but they belong to the state (The Crown), not Charlie.

I'd look at who is currently shorting the UK economy, hoping for a sudden chancellor change before the budget. That is who "suddenly" revealed Rachel Reeves made a mistake and is pushing the story hard.

Worst possible photo. But it’s me and the dog scoping out The Louvre for our high stakes heist…

Does Virgin Media do maintenance at 11PM? Like clockwork, my internet will disconnect at 11PM. It's been rock solid for over 4 years, last six months it disconnects every other night, granted I only use their box as a modem feeding into my UniFi setup.

I hate Oxford Street. Can’t wait for it to be pedestrianized, more opportunity to be walked into by people staring at their fondleslabs.

Walked into the kitchen and thought: did the power go out and I didn't notice, all the clocks are at 00:00? Midnight. It's midnight. 🤦 I should go to bed.

Never noticed this on the Waterloo & City line platforms before (mostly because I never use the W&C).

I remember when Netflix would pay you if you could develop a better recommendation algorithm. Now all it can do is recommend things it knows I've already watched. Right up there with Amazon's "We see you've just bought X, would you like to buy X."

Wow I was never actually able to get this stuff to work when I initially played around with this stuff years ago. (Found in a box while clearing out a cupboard)

Petition to rename the Online Safety Act to the Helen Lovejoy Act.

TIL Mosques have a dedicated frequency band in the UK.

If Tk Maxx is ADHD, Uniqlo is autism. I feel way more comfortable in the latter...

Please never take me to the sensory nightmare that is TK Maxx ever again. It's too loud, it's too busy, nothing is organised, the aisles are too narow, and oh my god the cheap body product and candle smell.

Relocated my dedicated VPN server from the UK to The Netherlands. I only configured it to keep a secure connection wherever I was, to the UK was fine. Now I have a reason to have it outside the UK...

What is the name of that job in US TV/Film of the person who goes round handing people court documents saying "You've been served." Is that a real job, if so, does it exist in the UK and how do I get it?
