@npub1npy…3sf4 That's a bit sad, I wonder what's driving it; People just giving up with social media, or going 'back' to other platforms they'd tried to leave for various reasons?

OK, so the response to this was much bigger than expected. So for anyone who wants a copy of the form, with hopefully the spelling mistakes corrected, you can get it here in German, English or as a spreadsheet to do with as you like: https://www.henryleach.com/2024/08/lost-tooth-form

Me: Children, look they're giving away little rainbow #pride and peace flags, do you want one?
Children: Yes!!!
Also me, two minutes later: Stop fighting each other with the peace flags!

@npub12ze…hunm Oh wow, didn't know that; guess I've it been paying attention. The FAQ doesn't seem to list a reason, I guess it just didn't pay for itself, which is a pity as it was useful. Do you know of any alternatives?

Anyone know what's happened to #SongWhip ? https://songwhip.com it used to be good for creating Cross-Service #music links for #NowPlaying and sharing, but today it appears to be out of action.

@npub12ze…hunm But is it good cup of tea drinking music?

2024-07-22 10:12:22

I appreciate #Spotify 's effort with this suggestion for an 'Extreme #Metal Workout' playlist, but a 'Extreme Metal sit down with a nice cup of tea' would have been more my thing.
Hmm I wonder what songs would appear on such a playlist.

After tidying away my old #gameboy that had been laying on a shelf unused for three months, Child A suddenly decided *now* they needed to play with it. In response they drew this. I don't know what impresses me more; the drawing, that they wrote the message all by themselves, or the emotional maturity to post a passive aggressive sign like this. 🥰

My standard questions about animals shown on food packaging apply: is it made by, for or of the animals depicted? In this case, does this taste of #Pokemon ?

I was just struggling to #ssh into the server I'm setting up, and couldn't. My first thought was I'd mis-configured sshd, but, turns out I just hadn't turned the server on. Follow me for more #infosec and #homelab tips

@npub1yck…ujmw Thanks, yes using tee is a good answer for this example as tee is a proper command that can be run in the jail, but the bit that confused me was the control and redirect operators in shell not acting on the jail if you start the first command with jexec.

2024-07-02 21:08:25

A note on my incomplete knowledge of pipes and redirects in shells, together with #FreeBSD s jexec. https://www.henryleach.com/2024/07/confusion-with-jexec-and-pipes-on-the-command-line If anyone has a good explanation on what's really happening, I'm all ears.

Tried our cargo #eBike for the first time today, and took it for a big food shop. Went well and felt stable. The terrifying part was that the shop it could carry cost 93€!, and even didn't contain any 'fancy' items. Ouch.

Today's #CDFriday choice is Pelican's "The Fire In Our Throats Will Beckon The Thaw", which is probably one of the most #PostRock album names ever. I do like the semi-transparent outer on the booklet, superimposing clouds over the glacier behind.

It must take years of training for #train conductors to leave just the right length of slightly too long pause between words and sentences that makes you think they've finished, but haven't really.

I wonder why #bank customers keep getting phished, perhaps because banks send emails like this where the link *to their own website* is via a campaign tracking link so it's not even their domain?

TFW you're so close to having something working, but it's not. You have a thousand tabs open with man pages, forums and SO but can't quite get it over the line. Anyone running #FreeBSD with a #samba share in a jail, and know why I can /see/ it on the network, but can't access it as a guest?

Just spotted the #shrinkflation in Nesquik because we've ended up with two unopened packs:
Left: original 2013 box, 500g
Middle: 2023, 400g
Right: 2024, New format(!), 350g
By 2030 it's going to cost the same for one shot glass of the rabbit's magic chocolate powder.

@npub12ze…hunm This is in a work context, so we're obliged to use it, and the ergonomics are just awful. Moving files, finding them, doing any kind of bulk action - even just figuring out /where/ a frickin' file is, is horrendous.

2024-05-14 13:06:57

Have I complained recently how awful #GoogleDrive is to use? Endless clicking to get even the most basic stuff done - so frustrating.

@npub1pue…dpuv We have that, it's called copyright. What they want is a tool that lets you opt in. Should be quick to write, since they've got AI to create it, correct?
