I went to see Kenny G tonight (yes that famous one). He wished me a Happy New Year so I wished him a Good Yom Tov. 😊

Shabbat Shalom, all!

Given the latest advancements in genAI, society may be about to go back to ‘two eyewitnesses or it didn’t happen’.

I watched RED ONE which was supposed to be an xmas movie but was also surprisingly relevant to the עשרת ימי תשובה that we’re in 😁

Apparently Australian Border Force considers Hummus to be a “liquid, aerosol, or gel.” ಠ_ಠ

cool and interesting, but pity that at first glance it seems to be locked to github only

I don’t want to jinx it so here’s a hash for later: 4dc6a97b7684cdaa970d26d331a5c269dd5a3c55c46d01d45c60a2e5936255e1

why do I keep finding trivial edge cases and exploits in things? tonight it’s in a payment facility…

I hope Chemist Warehouse didn’t order these from a Mossad shell company…

You know you’re pacing too much when iOS activates the Vehicle Motion Cues.

trying out Apple’s new “we can hold the call for you” iOS 26 feature, since I’ve been waiting 10 minutes for this business to pick up and their hold music doesn’t even loop properly. it’s painful.

This whole section really.

I feel like I’m playing the worlds worst version of Jet Lag: The Game today. Sigh.

Shabbat Shalom all!

but wait, there’s more!

Shanah Tovah, BlueSky! Have a happy and sweet new year.

forgot to post this yesterday - one of the rarest tefillos in the whole book

Good news: my #pyconau Lightning talk is now online Bad news: I accidentally had NotchNook running the whole time and nobody told me 🙊 youtu.be/Wl1CZTpWFEk?...

Amazon be like “hey we delivered your package, here’s a picture of it at an unidentifiable front door that isn’t your own” ಠ_ಠ

wow, AliExpress and Temu have some extremely irritating dark patterns these days

it’s still September and already Kmart are selling Halloween merch 👀

Shabbat Shalom!

Flinders St station has new Myki readers. How long until they support credit cards, or even Apple Express?

in iOS 26’s shiny new Unified Phone app layout, where on earth has Voicemail moved to?

For some reason I can’t explain, acme.sh on my NAS suddenly doesn’t want to use my saved credentials and is failing to renew the TLS certificates :(

kosher chalav yisrael cafés charging extra for alternative milks (soy/oat/almond) is such a scam

Little iOS 26 feature I love: if you had both the Alternate Calendar set to Hebrew and you have the Hebrew system language installed, it shows you the Hebrew date in Hebrew in the date widget:

with the new faster NBN plans the slowest bit about any software update now (and I have a _lot_ of them this morning) seems to be disk access and internal locks. :(

Teams keeps getting into a state where it doesn’t send my message, and frequently it won’t send any message after that either until I uninstall it and reinstall it and of course that kills my pending messages. $3.7T market cap and they can’t even build a functioning chat app…

I feel like every time I set up a Kubernetes cluster it gains more and more options and thus decisions and mental overloading.

I dreamed of a really good shitpost and now that I’m awake I’ve forgotten it 😭

new NBN plans mean I can get more upload, more download, and pay less overall. awesome.

First yelp review: "1/5 stars: Asked the guide an innocent question about the dovecot exhibit and was promptly thrown out of the museum."

and to think the pentagon didn’t even order pizza this time

new web stack: NERF No JS Excel as the database Rawdogging HTML FTP deployment

uh is anyone using Vultr unable to resolve DNS tonight?

Time Machine is being slow and uncooperative over wifi so time to break out the Ethernet cable again…
