Supermarket "Butcher's Choice" sausages. Conclusive proof that people can make bad choices.
Don't you ever wonder about the round-vehicle awareness and general skill level of drivers who flash to let you out of parking spaces, to turn right (UK) or leave a side road when there aren't any vehicles behind them?!
I have just re-setup some mail accts in Outlook for someone from details in a Word doc.
Copy the p/w...Copilot jumps up to 'correct' unusual caps. FFS No!
Bring the page into Notepad...and Copilot is there too.
This took much longer that it needed.
I'm recovering on my Linux-based desktop now.
Fed up with boring black timer chips on your PCBs or breadboards? https://cdn.nostrcheck.me/0c9e326b79ab7a99143aedfad7816891f7af4703cc3b5fa33f6632d70428d9af/4e82619d180153137c700206d43b3055407b2248d586898fd7eb68fb547b7d61.webp
I've just made a clever new multi-clause filter (rule) in #Betterbird to tidy cron job and logwatch emails.
I've just managed to move ALL inbox messages over 5 days old into a subfolder.
I didn't want to do that!
I'll move it all back when the filter completes.
Yes, I have fixed the filter.

Would have been helpful to compare with the results of feeding the same source code into existing analysis tools.
I finally got around to hooking a BBC Micro:bit to a #Meshtastic node and sending and receiving messages. Here's the hookup via an intermediate board with some protection resistors to ensure things don't get smokey if I cross-wire Rx and Tx. https://cdn.nostrcheck.me/0c9e326b79ab7a99143aedfad7816891f7af4703cc3b5fa33f6632d70428d9af/0511949ea984cb4ced1d341e6ade4c0fd50702babb73e224d1af1070ca8c8bd3.webp https://cdn.nostrcheck.me/0c9e326b79ab7a99143aedfad7816891f7af4703cc3b5fa33f6632d70428d9af/5868e3342065ebb7c97eafee91628f310c3fefb5db5435f2a40517d35614fa1e.webp
Is it me or are fibreglass pencils quite expensive for what they are - even from the usual Far-East places.
Just fixed an issue with an ESP8266-based smart switch running Tasmota. It began to randomly reset to factory defaults & I thought its flash memory was dying.
Turns out the manual on/off button is faulty & randomly stays 'pressed' for >40 secs & this triggers a config reset.
Fix = replace button.
Anyone here running #Meshtastic on the Seeed Xiao NRF kit with a working generic NEO-6 or -7 GPS module attached. My coding-fu has not managed to tweak the pin definitions to make this work. Ta!
Me: "Morning, love, lovely sunshine today."
Mrs: "Morning, dear. Would you check this domain renewal, the whois info says it's expired but it says 'renewed until 2026' at the registration company..."
After a few bouts, over a month or so, of debugging peculiarities with APCUPSD monitoring a brand new UPS (no the batteries have not failed and they don't keep disconnecting and reconnecting), I have found a fix. I have uninstalled APCUPSD and replaced it with NUT.
I'm working in my Mrs' offices today because the house street power's off (planned work).
I'm chillin' in a corner of the breakout / conversation area.
This Fri. street power's off 0900-1600.
OMG! No Gbit FTTH, no WiFi/LAN. Servers will be off. Home automation reverts to manual controls.
How WILL we cope!?
Me & my better half will do a few hr on laptops, go for lunch, walk doggy & enjoy the garden. Might read a book.
We..might..just..survive.
The BBC is reporting that Evri and DHL in the UK are merging. C'mon, what's the punchline here folks...
Another tech question, this time for the Linux folks. Can you recommend a calendar and mail server setup that includes an easy way to set out of office messages so that people moving from Exchange aren't too intimidated. Failing that, recommendations for a commercial provider - UK /EU based. Thanks.
What a palaver.
This PlusNet Hub One was modified years back to run OpenWRT, but a f/w update yesterday failed & it went into a panic loop.
I cracked it open & used the serial header put in first time round to RAM boot OpenWRT & then scp'd in the upgrade & ran an update from console. All fixed! https://cdn.nostrcheck.me/0c9e326b79ab7a99143aedfad7816891f7af4703cc3b5fa33f6632d70428d9af/48d7e80c16838ade84d01b5c019aa0113c77d4476ccb12273adb9eed69b4242c.webp
Just fixed an odd issue with an AP using OpenWRT. It was OK for clients, but wouldn't get NTP time via the WAN router, ping it, nor do NSLOOKUPs on the console. The router had a 'Bind IP to MAC' for the AP with the wrong MAC addr. AP has a static IP, so...huh!? Dunno how long it's been like that!
...when you buy a new 4-pint container of milk because the current one is down to half full and someone in the household starts it before using up the remainder of the first one.
/Every frikkin time.
/Yeah, I've mentioned it... frequently.
//Yeah, I'm grumpy this morning.
