Thank goodness today has not been so hot. I can go into the ~~sauna~~ loft and get my camping gear out for #emfcamp

Can anyone recommend a #coworking space in or near Greenford in #london that does one-off drop-ins? Need to work around there on 21st July

Turnip in his fav shady spot #catsofmastodon

Could this classy looking black grape vodka, possibly be made any better? Behold! Raspberry antifreeze 😂

Got a wicked triple pack of Uncle Fester On Acid records in the post yesterday... collabs with 3Head, David Harrow and whole host of On U Sound legends so gonna play a few from those, plus the usual mix of tracks that float my boat. Live stream commences 07 […] [Original post on go.mxtthxw.art]

Couch to 5k but for reading: https://naomialderman.substack.com/p/lets-do-a-couch-to-5k-for-reading I definitely could have used this when I basically stopped reading because of the Covid years

Got some very last-minute #emfcamp tickets 😅

Office garden coming on nicely!

Somebody is making a move for leadership of ReformUK.... #robertjenwick #ReformUK #nigelfarage #ukpol #ukpolitics #farage

Ah yis! Going raving! Fully expect to be the oldest in the room, but hoping not to be https://www.quartersbrighton.co.uk/whatson/2manydjs Also check out the Dad-friendly time of 4pm - 11pm

La Dispute got me through some hard times in 2014; so great to see them live finally, over a decade later! https://linktr.ee/ladispute

Road trip! West Sussex to York to fetch La Daughter from uni

Anybody here have any recommendations for a decent pub (serving lunch) along the Downs Link from Horsham to Shoreham-by-Sea or even in Shoreham itself? I'm looking for a good pit stop along the way to Brighton (I know plenty of places in Brighton I'm hoping to stop before getting there). I'm […]

[Cat poo] Well, it finally happened after 8ish years of robot hoover - smeared a cat poo around the kitchen floor 🤢

just received in mail a roll of 16mm microfilm which has same pattern this is undeveloped film, stored inside camera, maybe for decades

Turnip is in his happy place; the secret room, aka the loft. He’s clambered everywhere and now has his face and whiskers absolutely covered in cobwebs and dusty smuts #caturday

Going though Bambu Labs “America 250” 3D models and most are patriotic garbage with prayer crosses and Trump but I did enjoy seeing these items

Today's show - Special Guest Mix - data0 - mix 6 Once again handing over the reigns to good friend of the show, the fantastic @data0 for a splendiferous mix. Once again a beautiful, wide ranging selection packed with gems. Enjoy! My Moon My Man (Boys Noize Classic Mix) Young Fathers - Way Down […]

Formulating an #emfcamp policy: if I'm in your talk and your slides have #llm slop on them, I'm walking out. No ifs no buts. You couldn't be bothered making them, I'm not interested in looking at them, and I have to presume that whatever you're saying has had the same amount of thought put into it

If you're in Brighton on 24th June – the evening before Brighton #ruby – come along to my little rooftop soiree: https://jay.gooby.org/ruby-rooftop

Hard to believe that Thing 2 has just finished their first A-level exam paper. Feeling OLD today!

What’s this? A cheque in the post? OMG, money beyond my wildest dreams!

I have ~~eaten~~ thrown out the ~~plums~~ boiled eggs that were in the icebox and which you ~~were probably~~ left ~~saving~~ before ~~for breakfast~~ going on holiday Forgive me they were ~~delicious~~ rancid so ~~sweet~~ stinky and so ~~c~~old

Ah yeah! Our ward’s Green candidate won. We’re in one of the safest Tory seats and they got nearly twice the votes of Con and Reform 🖕 Also Wikipedia tells me we used to be a notorious rotten borough until the early 1800s

Really interesting podcast with Charanga's Max Wheeler https://www.instagram.com/maxwheeler/ and the various GCSE and A level exam boards talking about the government's music curriculum review […]

Chillin’ with Turnip #catsofmastodon

"The basic strategy of all addictive technologies is very simple. They make you feel extra capable, they addict you, then they make you feel inadequate without them." (Original title: How to smoke) https://buttondown.com/monteiro/archive/how-to-smoke/

Things I did not have on my cultural radar; explaining who Barry from Eastenders is, to colleagues in the US

Having a look around for some local connections on the Fediverse, rather than just my usual tech crowd. Anyone in the #horsham (UK) area?

Flying visit to York to visit la Daughter. We had to of course, pay homage to Long Boi

RE: https://mastodon.social/@jaygooby/116432027581463812 Next, I'm going to work on a VS Code sandbox profile that also locks down reading from everywhere except for the project's root and only the directories that VS Code needs to run, so extensions are blocked from doing anything outside the […]

And this is what the final `vscode.sb` looks like: ``` (version 1) (allow default) (deny file-write*) (allow file-write* (subpath "/dev/") (subpath "/private/") (subpath "/var/folders/") (subpath (string-append (param "HOME") "/Library/Application Support/Code/")) (subpath (string-append (param […]

RE: https://mastodon.social/@jaygooby/116421460871144779 Got it working, needed a few changes. Don't launch the `code` app - launch from within the app's `MacOS` directory, and disable Electron's sandbox entitlements. Also had to add a couple of extra directories the permitted writable […]

One cat out all night until 5am. Hear jangling, yay! Turnip’s back! Hear more jangling, other cat goes to investigate… Turnip is back with a mouse which is now loose in the house :( Mouse finally retrieved from behind the fridge 🤦‍♂️

macos sandbox question. I have `vscode.sb`: ``` (version 1) (allow default) (deny file-write* (subpath "/") ) (allow file-write* (subpath "/dev") (subpath "/private") (subpath "/var/folders") ) ``` 1/2
