How many loops of "RyanAir background music #1" I will hear today

Honestly putting a sign like that up is just tempting fate.

[mini-rant] by far the worst "wrapped-like" i've seen today is Discord. I don't _want_ to see what is presumably a summary of what I've said this year??

[mh, ~] It's barely December and I'm overwhelmed to f**k already, so much to get done. 😔

Made a wee little coaster today via @rlab.org.uk

London Furs today :3

[ukpol, joke] * Says the NHS saved his life over and over * Big transphobe vibes Wes Streeting is the boy who lived!

Growing a beard has taught me 2 things: * It feels so nice to shave down again to the Proper Beard Length every now and then. * It now takes 3 times as long to get it where I want it. I can now longer just run a blade across my face and be happy. But just did a proper shave and it […]

I think Philomena Cunk should have been one of the early reviewers who got to interview Valve's engineers

It may be time to update my horribly messed up home assistant install 😅

then: go tidy your bedroom now: go tidy your kubernetes cluster

https://doefriends.bandcamp.com/album/i-want-to-love-again is criminally underrated, been listening to it on loop for like a day now ♥️

chore list: clean office _spends the day doing the opposite of chore list_

Still can't believe this hack works. This was the internet radio hack project I worked on ages ago, hooked up to a mpd stream

🍌"Oh those bananas are going off, I'll make banana bread" ✅ "Yep, got everything. Even a bit of vanilla extract" _mixes_ 🤔 "Ah, no baking parchment, guess I can grease with the butt...oh just used all that...olive oil" 🥲 "Ah, no bread tin...this will be a banana cake then" We will wait to […]

[frustration] very much enjoying that RyanAir innovate in new ways to frustrate their customers, the latest being you can only get the tickets via their App. It was unclear whether there would be a PDF, but there is a ban on "paper" so I assume not.

Joined a new hackspace today 🚀

How extra is _your_ loading screen? I spent all of a hour working on this myself and pretty proud of the CSS hacks!

I will try to make it to #39c3 this year, hopefully!

As a homelab sysadmin I have two states: * Everything is working fine and I'm bored * Everything is broken and I'm upset

Conversation with my housemate about which TLD they could get for their fursona, but has a brand name fursona 😅.

I have a request for suggestions I'm kinda sick of YouTube videos for being generally awful, either shorts being addictive videos with no content or just regular videos trying to play the algorithm game. So! Are there good suggestions of (paid or unpaid) platforms out there that have videos of […]

Are there any doodlers who follow me who'd be able to do the quickest little drawing of a kobold with a hammer, whacking something. Doesn't need to be too good, just want a holding icon for https://github.com/Half-Shot/msc-crafter

Did my talk. It's got a story arc, it's got dramatics, it's got multiple fonts and it's got a surprise at the end! https://media.ccc.de/v/matrix-conf-2025-72676-holding-the-fort-how-did-bridges-happen

Stickers are growing and growing.

Yesterday the vibe was milkshake beer. Do not ask about the hangover.

I'm really bad at posting all my food pics, so I might just do a "this month in cooking" posts which have the best ones :)

It's soup! Soup that I made! I had some leftover carrots, spring onions , chillis and peppers in the fridge so made them into this soup. And some double cream and fresh bread to go with it.

Doing some maintenance on the side for my server. > DB disk is 98% full

Fuck sake this is getting ridiculous

I have become a 6am gym goer, what is happening to me

Writing my slides for the upcoming @matrix conference talk. it's going very well

fuck sake how did this happen

[film, horror, minor spoiler] Did anyone else see Weapon (the film) recently? We came out of the cinema and have entirely different feelings to all the reviews that came out. Derivative as hell

Whoever did this, I salute you. 🫡

Scrolling an AI company website: "20 billion predictions made each day" mate what the fuck are you predicting

Cool thank you British broadcasting corporation.

the unmistakable kiss of raw chicken :blobfoxscared:

[mini-rant] Hot take but: If you're asking someone why they might need E2EE for their chat messenger, then you're probably sitting on some mighty fine throne of privilege my friend.

Left my mouse behind in the office. :halfy_sleepy: 💡The PS5 controller can work as a touchpad out of the box on Linux.

Reading pride was awesome, got to take my partner around the route for the first time too ❤️. #pride

I was in a grumpy mood from hyperfocusing a bit too long and messing up dinner, but my boyfriend got me ice cream and now I am good again ❤️ :blobfoxheart:

I accept my fate. I don't know why I find this so funny :D

[food, meat] Made some flatbreads on Friday with a beef topping (minced, marinaded in garlic and chili, and spices) alongside some fresh yogurt, herbs and chips. Having made too much beef, Saturday was sponsored by fresh pizza with the same beef (now […] [Original post on mastodon.half-shot.uk]

Finally hit the gym properly today and did some weight and strength exercises alongside my usual running. Felt great :)
