  current status: sitting in a café that’s attached to a car wash while waiting for the local car mechanic to take a look at my car & decide whether or not they’ll fix the thing they broke when I had it serviced on Friday… 🙃 I had not realised that such cafés are Old People™ hangouts, but the music (significantly louder than necessary) is straight outta… ⚹checks notes⚹ …the most mainstream, over-played “hits” of the 1960s, 70s, & maybe the first couple of years of the 80s and this is the...

  hi again lovely #FediFrens 👋 yesterday’s #rec didn’t get me any answers on that combo so I’ll open it up to a couple of other options… so – is anyone +running #Linux* happily [1] on a 14” [2] laptop with a GPU from #MSI, #ASUS #ROG or #TUF, (or others)? requirements (somewhat flexible: – light, pref. ~1.5kg +/- – 14” max. unless it’s super-light with good battery (so a thin 1.5kg 15.6” or even 17” with 12 hour battery (🦄) would be fine 🤪) – 64GB DDR5 RAM or more (more is better, DDR5 pr...

I’m volunteering with a Canberra team participating in the FIRST LEGO League Challenge (FIRST = “For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology”, it’s not the first one 🤪) the various programmes are broken ou...

  our power just went out (at home) & our internet also dropped – which it shouldn’t do as we have a battery backup for our #NBN NTU (#FTTP) & UPSes for router, switches, etc. 😤 I’m about to go check the #blinkenlights on the NTU to see what they tell me… (yes, some of them probably won’t be blinken 🤪) I still have connectivity internally (for about 40 mins) but because the WAN dropped my NAS wasn’t able to send the usual email notification about the UPS switching to battery. once I f...
