@jess@blop.social Q are your overhead lights still incandescent or have they been swapped out to LED? (not the side reflectors obvs)

@veronica@mastodon.online @astro_jcm@mastodon.online hah. I came to say this too. https://www.decayfilm.com/
Huh. Moving to iPhone from Android and wifi scanning needs extra hardware (UniFi WiFiman) or unobtanium (wigle or wifi analyser)? Boo!
@jess@blop.social south of the border you should be able to ask for Lorne Sausage (not to be confused with forlorn sausage, that may get you unintended consequences)

@chris_bloke@mastodon.acm.org "To be honest, I am quite upset." Good Grief. That's 11/10 on the british upset scale. Think I'll go and have a cup of Tea to recover.
So I'm poking around with #AuditD, also swearing mildly at 'msg=' being used twice on a line which breaks trivial parsing, when I realised I haven't seen a *good* deep dive on on it for a while. The Red Hat docs [1] cover the basics, while the GH linux-audit repos cover the tech details, but no recent presentations
I wonder if @corbet@social.kernel.org could persuade someone to write an article for #LWN?
Dear lazyweb, it's about time I ripped our CD collection (1-200). What's the format of choice these days (and ballpark disk space req) if I'm going to be streaming it around the (mostly wired) home? Playback devices with decent speakers are via pi audio hats (and shairport sync) but i may investigate esp32 + dac + sendspin
@jess@blop.social You (if you dared) could even market it as Specialist Project And Repair Knowledge LLM Enabled System

@jess@blop.social "sparkles"
Mainly because "About your repair? Hold on a sec while I check on sparkles..." is going to be really confiusing to your customer who called
"The printer may be out of toner"
yes, because it keeps shitting Magenta over every part of the NON MAGENTA document I was trying to print.
#RemindMeWhyIWorkWithTechnology
Hey @somafm@sfba.social - Right up there with "Radio stations shouldn't play tracks featuring police sirens" can I add "or cat meowing" - Lost the song history now but something on #groovesalad last night (around 00:30 PDT?) *really* made the dog bark in the car. Keep up the good tunes tho! Ta!

Nod to Hugh F-W (River Cottage) as it starts with his basic recipe proportions.
As with the best recipes, it then evolves into whatever is in the cupboard.

Failed prerequisite 'reg_format' and property has invalid length (4 bytes) (#address-cells == 2, #size-cells == 1) seem to be common
My old "WirelessThings OpenPi" (CM1 based board) https://github.com/WirelessThings/OpenPi/ successfully flashed to Trixie, but none of the board stuff was detected out of the box. Anyone have an updated overlay as this one no worky without editing
@neil@mastodon.neilzone.co.uk see also ctrl-e to leap to end of line unless its something that decides you were writing text and really wanted it centred. Grr.
Hope your Saturday is improved by a bee on a banksia.
Grr. I need to find the *actual* spec that Tasnetworks are supposed to keep supply voltage between. Is it 400 +10% -6%? as the PDU's complaining in the server rack.

@bloor err, yeah. My wife copped a fine in NZ as she hadn't cleaned hers enough. Now we just declare if we've been anywhere and haven't had time to really clean up.

@bloor we can't take fruit, veg, meat or seafood interstate. Hell, I've been pulled up at the ferry terminal for having too many leaves in the windscreen gutter (is there a proper name for the bit the wipers rest in?) on the van when coming home from Vic. (I wasn't going to argue that they were actually Tassie leaves I took over 3 days earlier, it didn't seem wise). The sniffer dogs at the airport are great at finding someone with a clandestine banana,

@NanoRaptor@bitbang.social now a threaded version of that would make it easier to fix to pcb. Unless of course you got the internal left hand thread AND the external right hand one at the same time. Not that anyone would be foolish enough to generate such a beast...

@mhoye I can neither confirm nor deny that a school classroom (TV at the front) was once reduced to chaos with many students pointing their calculators at the TV when others had the matching model remote to mute / pause the vcr and the teacher trying to confiscate the 'remote' calculators.
