Had a night of spectacularly vivid anxiety dreams. Really weird, stupid situations that I was getting very wound up and upset in. I woke up three or four times shaking and sweating, which is not at all like me. I used to suffer from regular night terrors, but not in the last 16 years, and these […]

A question for those of you who speak American: what does the word “bungalow” mean to you? Because I just a tv show where the protagonist calls a house a bungalow, and when they walk outside it’s a two-storey house.

While cleaning a storage room, our staff found this tape containing #unix v4 from Bell Labs, circa 1973 Apparently no other complete copies are known to exist: https://gunkies.org/wiki/UNIX_Fourth_Edition We have arranged to deliver it to the Computer History Museum #retrocomputing

Watching @GossiTheDog play Elite Dangerous I’m very tempted to give it a go, but also cognisant of having a life that must take precedence 😆 I playtested EVE many, many years ago and recall how that consumed every spare waking hour.

This is one of the earliest videos I remember seeing on the internet in the mid 90s, long before YouTube existed. There was a Yahoo! page with cool videos on it, and there was a very blocky, heavily compressed version of it on there, along with some nuts American university professor whose party […]

[Plur1bus Spoilers] So, it’s basically an Invasion Of The Bodysnatchers remake (with a side of Contact, at least in the first episode). I’m okay with that. It’s been done many times over the years, with varying levels of success. This looks like an interesting take on it, I’ll definitely be […]

I’m off for a walk around the woods after a pub lunch today, it’s going to be AMAZING! #robsongreensamazingwalks

Okay, let’s see what #celebracyracyworldshow has to offer. We were spoilt with #celebritytraitors, so I’m definitely sat here thinking “where are the celebrities, then?” 😀

@WiteWulf some notable lines. It needs special skills to be despised like this in the scientific community..

Wow, I knew nothing of Watson’s awful life choices following his famous scientific discovery. And with good reason, it would appear. https://mastodon.social/@arstechnica/115511025998696346

#totp 1979 has been…trying…this week 😳 Even the Thin Lizzy track was far from one of their best. Thank god for The Jam.

It’s always such a tease when it’s a 70s #totp and they open with the chart countdown. You’re left vainly hoping for the bands you love. What chance of XTC or Rainbow this week?

Oof, pray silence for Peej 😍 #totp

Latest distraction from meaningful work: figuring out what makes BeOS icons look like BeOS icons and how to draw pixel art in that style

It’s kinda cool, but will never catch on for a few (basically the same) reasons: - you need specialist hardware to attach them to fabric - so they can’t be used by anyone making stuff by hand - and they can’t easily be repaired You’ll only ever see these used in expensive, high-end garments, I […]

Many, many congratulations to Ant, Damien and the team on this milestone. Hookshot media (including Nintendo Life, Push Square, Time Extension and, more recently, Digital Foundry) have some of the best independent games reporting on the web these days. Here’s to another 20 years 🍻 […]

Who is this colossal idiot on BBC radio blaming the incorrect release of prisoners on the IT security in prisons being so heavy (to prevent prisoners hacking them, apparently) that WiFi is often turned off, so they have to use pen and paper to keep records? That is some bullshit 😮

Well, I’ve had iOS 26.1 on my iPhone 13 for a week now, and….I quite like it! It was dog slow immediately after install, but that soon went, and I’ve even turned off all the “reduce movement” and “reduce transparency” stuff now, too. Battery life isn’t noticeably different. Altogether nowhere […]

After a month or so of fighting I've finally admitted defeat and given up trying to get a #cisco WLC9800 to run reliably on my #homelab proxmox hardware. It worked, kindasorta, and I learned a lot, but it was far from reliable and the server used a lot more juice than I was happy with. So […]

So how many of youse got excited this morning when Apple Music told you there was a new Sisters Of Mercy song, then? Come on Apple, handling multiple artists with the same name isn’t hard. I bet you pay the right people, so why not extend the disambiguation to the user-facing stuff? 🤨

#nowPlaying Oceansize - Home & Minor EP Not played this one for a long while, I’d forgotten how chilled it was, particularly this track. It’s a shame there wasn’t more like this on the follow-up album, Self Preserved While The Bodies Float Up, which never […] [Original post on cyberplace.social]

This has appeared round the corner from us. Fuck no.

Jurassic World Rebirth | Gareth Edwards said to be returning to direct sequel https://filmstories.co.uk/news/jurassic-world-rebirth-gareth-edwards-said-to-be-returning-to-direct-sequel/ This, I think, is good news. Rebirth was a lot better than I expected it to be, especially after the dire […]

The Beer Fairy has visited my desk again 😍

I’m usually a fan of Nintendo Life’s reporting, but stuff like this annoys me. Square Enix has not been “hit by mass layoffs”, its staff have been hit with mass layoffs that it, the company, has instituted. The use of the passive voice makes out that […] [Original post on cyberplace.social]

Night night @logistics, see you in the morning… https://social.eurybia.osx.ninja/@logistics/statuses/01K9EKHSRZWQ8H57YDGJTKSM6W

[Celebrity Traitors] Oh, Alan…. 😀😍

I’ve had to restart the stream twice. Something in the chain not working as expected. Amazing demand, though! https://mastodon.social/@tdp_org/115505045996705735

I’ve always quite liked these guys. Looking forward to the new album, and hoping they play over here… https://mas.to/@tangleofwires/115504852407705968

You’re over-sharing. Yes, you. You know who you are 🤨

I just walked to the kitchen to make a cuppa, it was AMAZING! #robsongreensamazingwalks

#nowplaying Amplifier - The Octopus 🐙 What an absolutely corking, pummelling, trippy, spacerock adventure of an album 🤩 https://music.apple.com/gb/album/1198303873?i=1198304226

Ah, joy of joys: not so snotty today, but it’s moved to my chest. Chewy coughs 😷🥴

This is all too accurate a summary of my feelings re. migrating from an enterprise telephony and communications platform to MS Teams. And why I am no longer responsible for MS Teams.

AirPods Live Translation feature coming to the EU next month, after Apple said they couldn't release it because of evil communist Digital Markets Act. EU said at the time: “We are not able to understand the nature of Apple’s concerns. The DMA does not impede the launch of new products in EU […]

Using my Nuraphones to listen to Underworld. I’ve not used the cursed ear pokey headphones for ages, and had forgotten how damn fine they sound with some big tunes in them. Need to get these out more often (the reason today was WFH and not wanting to disturb The Boy, who’s also studying at home).

Can’t wait to read the chapter devoted to me blathering at her for half an hour in Rescue Rooms one night, not having a clue who she was. When she left I asked a mate who their cute redhead friend was 😆 https://mas.to/@tangleofwires/115496298355744917

The whole concept of a government shutdown is, pardon my language America, absolutely fucking batshit insane.

Ugh, my head has turned into a machine for generating snot 🤧

Huh, my laptop wants me to upgrade to Ubuntu 25.10….what’s the worst that could happen? 🤷‍♂️
