It is 7:31pm and I have only just realised it’s the 31st today

A little delayed because we wanted to do a photoshoot with the gang 😅 officially engaged!

My conservatory roof started failing in the summer, and home insurance denied the claim 🙃 Finally able to get a fix in place; it’s held up currently by a sketchy wood prop! Attached photo is months old and hasn’t shifted further thankfully Planning phase of […] [Original post on mastodon.online]

Fed up with Windows now on my gaming PC. Do I have time to deal with it? Pffffft what’s free time. Guess I’ll just deal with it for the next 10 years ¯\\_(ツ)_/¯

Another day, another CloudFlare outage…

Now that’s a #sunrise to have a coffee with

Snow is starting, Robin seems to like it! #PetsOfMastodon

Finally getting somewhere now with this. Had to rebuild how data sync works a bit too many times! I guess this is a first proper preview of Watchfox, a competitor to Infuse! Hook up as many Jellyfin/plex/emby/etc servers as you want in one app, combined with […] [Original post on mastodon.online]

Serious post, please boost... On #internationalmensday here's your periodic reminder, fellow AMAB prostate carrying people who are over 50: Go see your doctor. Don't put it off. Ask for a DRE or a PSA test. Yes, DRE means a finger up your bum, get over it. They probably won't find anything […]

Selling 63 separate items on eBay this week and my head is already melting from people messaging me 😬 definitely an introvert nightmare

Making changes to a data model at work, and touching an object holding social media links. Let’s see if we can merge in mastodon without any comments at code review

Here’s a first, managed to get through my entire job list today 🤯

If your house doesn’t have a chicken door, what can I say… you’re missing out big time #pets #PetsOfMastodon #chickens

Solar panels has been on my agenda for quite some time, and the whole impending AI crash has got me reconsidering the timeline on sorting energy independence I’m getting ahold of a refurbished inverter for free, and looking at prices of second-hand panels, this might actually be doable on my […]

Slice of life: came downstairs for my lunch break, and Velma is wandering around the house! She’s been in for bed rest, due to what appeared to be a badly sprained ankle #chickens

Heating is coming on, dressing gown over the top of everything - I think we’re getting into cosy season 😂

Been trialling out Xcode Intelligence (ChatGPT) vs Cursor (Claude), both for Swift. So far, not impressed with Xcode. Ive had queries go in a loop asking for the same project context, generated code not making much sense (that’s the model tbf), and when queries time out part way through I […]

I last did design work on my Infuse-alike app 5 years ago, and it really shows 😅 It’s definitely taken me FAR longer than I thought to get something working. Originally it was scoped as a “watchlist” app, and now is more geared at consolidating media sources […] [Original post on mastodon.online]

How’s your Friday evening going? It’s planning time on this end for a tricky fence panel

All three top stories on the BBC News app are about migration. The top story on #R4Today just now was also about migration. Is this (as the #R4Today presenter has just claimed) the media reflecting the public’s interest, or is it in fact the public parroting back […] [Original post on toot.wales]

Email addresses are very simple, and you will score highly in this quiz. https://e-mail.wtf

Been so busy building the new chicken coop, that I forgot to post in-progress photos! Here’s the finished article, and will pop the “in progress” photos in an attached thread #diy It’s a combination of three separate FB Marketplace finds - two dog houses and a rabbit run. Try to spot the seams 😛

Not sure this is a #diy -able fix - conservatory roof issues falling down, due to a bowed PVC wall 😬 we just had heavy rain which must have pushed the roof over the breaking threshold

Spot the difference! Cleaned up the blockwork, relevelled it (lots of sunken bits) and repointed the gaps. Having to do everything in sections, and move stuff around. Means it’s super obvious now where we need to get to 😅

Sunset colours the other night was something else #photography

Splat #catsofmastodon

Starting to think toward a TestFlight alpha phase of my upcoming video streaming app, Watchfox. Got a few more major areas that need finishing first: - syncing and handling watched media state - support for user generated playlists - search - view media libraries - improve multi-server support […]

Even better than a birthday, it’s new hoover day!

Making my thing still, the Play button works 😏

Heh, same name as my WiFi SSID! Source: https://www.freecheesecomix.com/comics/evil-vegan-offering/

Bringing back #Influential to Android A full #homescreen made with #Angular, yep a #WebBased #Launcher powered by #BridgeLauncher Unlike other launchers, you can pretty much make your own launcher, I did fork the project available in my Github Repo - […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

Overheard the cashier in my local Co-op talking about the recent ransomware attack. Very odd to hear tech being discussed in the same context as someone buying cigarettes!

Missed a few photos but the ferret water park is coming along! Next is the front ply, and then popping in the hole for drainage + feed to the water feature. After that it’s pond liner time! #diy

Oops sorry my bad

Today is me and my partner’s anniversary - definitely was a perfect date in retrospect!! https://infosec.exchange/@InfoSecSherpa/114399011247174017

Ferret rescue is continuing expanding too! I got all the big 32ft one connected, painted, roofed and now onto kitting out! Current job there is a little water park - have an old water feature, and am building a raised pond with levels for them 😊 the framework seems to be holding my weight #diy

Lots of earth moving! Had a huge mound leftover from last year’s slabbing - time to make it presentable #diy

We gave a little ferret her mojo back today! #3dprinted wheelchair 😊 Used this design: https://cults3d.com/en/3d-printing/ferret-chariot-wheelchair #diy #maker

Blossom in the trees!

I feel like I'm just perpetually learning new things about color. Today I learned about the OKLCH color space and it's my new favorite thing: https://abhisaha.com/blog/interactive-post-oklch-color-space

Just seen this go over. I am genuinely stumped what would generate a spiral pattern, considering it’s cloudless tonight #space

When you’re having a bit of a stressy time at work and you just look up for a bit… Yeah, that’s a good reminder nothing needs to be so serious!

Roofing is on the enclosure! Did the guttering just now in the rain, which turned out to be somewhat helpful - could easily check the fall was right as I was installing. Who needs a level anyway 🤪 #diy

Feelings been building for some time, but I think I’m burnt out at my job. Doesn’t help that the biggest source of stress (the CTO) is also my manager! Very concerned about finances, but starting to figure out what I can do that isn’t just “find another job”. Part of the issue is software […]

Shed. Has a temporary roof currently 😅

A year ago today I was waiting outside the estate agent, ready to pick up the keys for the house! Time, what a concept.

It’s not IAM There’s no way it’s IAM It was IAM #aws #development

Taking some time away from building lately has been so damn worth it. Haven’t got the itch just yet to start the fence installation, more just focusing on small bits to tidy up from the past year’s workload. No point pushing on if the literal house isn’t in order 😂
