Last Notes npub12hz33t24636gc3p7ppeyscsn8u959ge0etfw4jdxahamw89yf6vq84ynw4 RevK :verified_r: Why do people do captchas like this? npub12hz33t24636gc3p7ppeyscsn8u959ge0etfw4jdxahamw89yf6vq84ynw4 RevK :verified_r: Well #TOTSCO continue to impress! npub12hz33t24636gc3p7ppeyscsn8u959ge0etfw4jdxahamw89yf6vq84ynw4 RevK :verified_r: Once again asking #TOTSCO the real questions... npub12hz33t24636gc3p7ppeyscsn8u959ge0etfw4jdxahamw89yf6vq84ynw4 RevK :verified_r: Our ordering system has a (staff only) trial mode for one touch switching. Yeh, we have been ready for ages, but waiting on #TOTSCO to progress testing. npub12hz33t24636gc3p7ppeyscsn8u959ge0etfw4jdxahamw89yf6vq84ynw4 RevK :verified_r: Cool! npub12hz33t24636gc3p7ppeyscsn8u959ge0etfw4jdxahamw89yf6vq84ynw4 RevK :verified_r: What I don’t understand about anything in the conservative manifesto (eg I gather they are going to clean up water if they win), is surely, they could (should) have done it years ago. And that has to apply to every damn thing in it. npub12hz33t24636gc3p7ppeyscsn8u959ge0etfw4jdxahamw89yf6vq84ynw4 RevK :verified_r: Not sure I like screw terminals, but probably cheapest option for this (LED strip controller). npub12hz33t24636gc3p7ppeyscsn8u959ge0etfw4jdxahamw89yf6vq84ynw4 RevK :verified_r: Oh wow, that is going way too far! npub12hz33t24636gc3p7ppeyscsn8u959ge0etfw4jdxahamw89yf6vq84ynw4 RevK :verified_r: Yeh, I felt loading battery and dumping in top hot tub was more wasteful than heating hot tub at the same time. It is a bit "finger in the air", and massively less of an issue now moved to heat pump. npub12hz33t24636gc3p7ppeyscsn8u959ge0etfw4jdxahamw89yf6vq84ynw4 RevK :verified_r: A small "programming" exercise... npub12hz33t24636gc3p7ppeyscsn8u959ge0etfw4jdxahamw89yf6vq84ynw4 RevK :verified_r: This strikes me as a design flaw in the fridge... npub12hz33t24636gc3p7ppeyscsn8u959ge0etfw4jdxahamw89yf6vq84ynw4 RevK :verified_r: At this stage, I don't even question Labour policies. They will have a shit load that is bad or stupid, I am sure. npub12hz33t24636gc3p7ppeyscsn8u959ge0etfw4jdxahamw89yf6vq84ynw4 RevK :verified_r: Sorry that was an example of a business fibre package. We have many cheaper packages. npub12hz33t24636gc3p7ppeyscsn8u959ge0etfw4jdxahamw89yf6vq84ynw4 RevK :verified_r: Ok this is getting fun now... npub12hz33t24636gc3p7ppeyscsn8u959ge0etfw4jdxahamw89yf6vq84ynw4 RevK :verified_r: OK that is clever. Not a bad in-canon idea. npub12hz33t24636gc3p7ppeyscsn8u959ge0etfw4jdxahamw89yf6vq84ynw4 RevK :verified_r: You gotta think... npub12hz33t24636gc3p7ppeyscsn8u959ge0etfw4jdxahamw89yf6vq84ynw4 RevK :verified_r: Some StarTrek banter makes sense... npub12hz33t24636gc3p7ppeyscsn8u959ge0etfw4jdxahamw89yf6vq84ynw4 RevK :verified_r: Wait, what? another bank holiday?! npub12hz33t24636gc3p7ppeyscsn8u959ge0etfw4jdxahamw89yf6vq84ynw4 RevK :verified_r: LaTeX is cool. I used a lot in the 80’s and early 90’s. npub12hz33t24636gc3p7ppeyscsn8u959ge0etfw4jdxahamw89yf6vq84ynw4 RevK :verified_r: LOL npub12hz33t24636gc3p7ppeyscsn8u959ge0etfw4jdxahamw89yf6vq84ynw4 RevK :verified_r: That was a nice burger… npub12hz33t24636gc3p7ppeyscsn8u959ge0etfw4jdxahamw89yf6vq84ynw4 RevK :verified_r: Is this art? npub12hz33t24636gc3p7ppeyscsn8u959ge0etfw4jdxahamw89yf6vq84ynw4 RevK :verified_r: now that is a good usage! npub12hz33t24636gc3p7ppeyscsn8u959ge0etfw4jdxahamw89yf6vq84ynw4 RevK :verified_r: OK, first time I have seen a best man’s speech created by ChatGPT. Very little promoting done. Crazy. Very convincing. But it’s a best man’s speech so meant to be bullshit, which makes ChatGPT so well suited. npub12hz33t24636gc3p7ppeyscsn8u959ge0etfw4jdxahamw89yf6vq84ynw4 RevK :verified_r: To be honest, there is no way a starship captain directs the ship using "degrees mark degrees"1. It would not be precise enough, for a start, and no way that it would make sense. npub12hz33t24636gc3p7ppeyscsn8u959ge0etfw4jdxahamw89yf6vq84ynw4 RevK :verified_r: quite. Even if we had zero net we make money. npub12hz33t24636gc3p7ppeyscsn8u959ge0etfw4jdxahamw89yf6vq84ynw4 RevK :verified_r: This is more like it. npub12hz33t24636gc3p7ppeyscsn8u959ge0etfw4jdxahamw89yf6vq84ynw4 RevK :verified_r: I see lots saying 150mm. npub12hz33t24636gc3p7ppeyscsn8u959ge0etfw4jdxahamw89yf6vq84ynw4 RevK :verified_r: Rooms just redone. This is their kettle lead! npub12hz33t24636gc3p7ppeyscsn8u959ge0etfw4jdxahamw89yf6vq84ynw4 RevK :verified_r: Thanks travelogue! npub12hz33t24636gc3p7ppeyscsn8u959ge0etfw4jdxahamw89yf6vq84ynw4 RevK :verified_r: Well, depends, if you have a postscript printer of one that does postscript for you like printer drivers in linux, then something like a simple lpr of a short postscript program would print that. npub12hz33t24636gc3p7ppeyscsn8u959ge0etfw4jdxahamw89yf6vq84ynw4 RevK :verified_r: That would be a very noddy bit of postscript... npub12hz33t24636gc3p7ppeyscsn8u959ge0etfw4jdxahamw89yf6vq84ynw4 RevK :verified_r: LOL, try Wales! npub12hz33t24636gc3p7ppeyscsn8u959ge0etfw4jdxahamw89yf6vq84ynw4 RevK :verified_r: OK [@aaisp](https://social.aa.net.uk/@aaisp) #SIP2SIM, if you have an A&A account with a phone number, I can make an eSIM, for the early adopters / guinea pigs, no data allowance yet. DM me the number and I'll make it so. npub12hz33t24636gc3p7ppeyscsn8u959ge0etfw4jdxahamw89yf6vq84ynw4 RevK :verified_r: ah, we can do multiple numbers all coming to one phone. npub12hz33t24636gc3p7ppeyscsn8u959ge0etfw4jdxahamw89yf6vq84ynw4 RevK :verified_r: LOL, love the idea of a "delivery" not "fly tipping" logic there! npub12hz33t24636gc3p7ppeyscsn8u959ge0etfw4jdxahamw89yf6vq84ynw4 RevK :verified_r: indeed, a viable alternative, definitely. npub12hz33t24636gc3p7ppeyscsn8u959ge0etfw4jdxahamw89yf6vq84ynw4 RevK :verified_r: Well at this point I have advised I'll invoice for my time, we'll see how that goes! npub12hz33t24636gc3p7ppeyscsn8u959ge0etfw4jdxahamw89yf6vq84ynw4 RevK :verified_r: For some/many, it may be. npub12hz33t24636gc3p7ppeyscsn8u959ge0etfw4jdxahamw89yf6vq84ynw4 RevK :verified_r: Taking the piss. npub12hz33t24636gc3p7ppeyscsn8u959ge0etfw4jdxahamw89yf6vq84ynw4 RevK :verified_r: We are close. https://www.aa.net.uk/voice-and-mobile/onsim-on-sip2sim/ npub12hz33t24636gc3p7ppeyscsn8u959ge0etfw4jdxahamw89yf6vq84ynw4 RevK :verified_r: well they have not said that is the issue, and I am inclined not to obstruct any part of the public highway without a formal indemnity from them. npub12hz33t24636gc3p7ppeyscsn8u959ge0etfw4jdxahamw89yf6vq84ynw4 RevK :verified_r: crazy here, total of 8 types of refuse. We have three different collection days one week and two the other. Why they can’t just do it all one day every week is beyond me. npub12hz33t24636gc3p7ppeyscsn8u959ge0etfw4jdxahamw89yf6vq84ynw4 RevK :verified_r: I already paid this year's! npub12hz33t24636gc3p7ppeyscsn8u959ge0etfw4jdxahamw89yf6vq84ynw4 RevK :verified_r: Monmouthshire have to be going for some sort of record here!!! npub12hz33t24636gc3p7ppeyscsn8u959ge0etfw4jdxahamw89yf6vq84ynw4 RevK :verified_r: glad someone appreciates it :-) npub12hz33t24636gc3p7ppeyscsn8u959ge0etfw4jdxahamw89yf6vq84ynw4 RevK :verified_r: Indeed, three days one week and two the other, pain in the arse. npub12hz33t24636gc3p7ppeyscsn8u959ge0etfw4jdxahamw89yf6vq84ynw4 RevK :verified_r: What a surprise! npub12hz33t24636gc3p7ppeyscsn8u959ge0etfw4jdxahamw89yf6vq84ynw4 RevK :verified_r: wow npub12hz33t24636gc3p7ppeyscsn8u959ge0etfw4jdxahamw89yf6vq84ynw4 RevK :verified_r: I hate that crap! npub12hz33t24636gc3p7ppeyscsn8u959ge0etfw4jdxahamw89yf6vq84ynw4 RevK :verified_r: wow npub12hz33t24636gc3p7ppeyscsn8u959ge0etfw4jdxahamw89yf6vq84ynw4 RevK :verified_r: I tend to be more on the side of being the source of “second hand” (well, someone has to be) when I upgrade to latest shiny! I my case, with wife and five kids and eight grandkids, the recycling tends to be more in the family to start with - even for CCTV cameras over the last week. Way better than them being thrown away! npub12hz33t24636gc3p7ppeyscsn8u959ge0etfw4jdxahamw89yf6vq84ynw4 RevK :verified_r: whether it looks good is down to choice of image, not apples fault. They can shadow the hands, and all sorts to look good. And I’d say the same is true of digital. npub12hz33t24636gc3p7ppeyscsn8u959ge0etfw4jdxahamw89yf6vq84ynw4 RevK :verified_r: Found an app that allows you to create a face. Yay. npub12hz33t24636gc3p7ppeyscsn8u959ge0etfw4jdxahamw89yf6vq84ynw4 RevK :verified_r: Hmm. It seems a tad odd for Apple to be missing the obvious here… npub12hz33t24636gc3p7ppeyscsn8u959ge0etfw4jdxahamw89yf6vq84ynw4 RevK :verified_r: I'm shocked! npub12hz33t24636gc3p7ppeyscsn8u959ge0etfw4jdxahamw89yf6vq84ynw4 RevK :verified_r: Thankfully, they put me on a monitor for AF after I had a stroke, and all clean, and since getting the apple watch, also no AF alerts. Which is reassuring. npub12hz33t24636gc3p7ppeyscsn8u959ge0etfw4jdxahamw89yf6vq84ynw4 RevK :verified_r: Having an instant ECG on your wrist is one of the benefits of my watch now, which is, frankly, quite cool. npub12hz33t24636gc3p7ppeyscsn8u959ge0etfw4jdxahamw89yf6vq84ynw4 RevK :verified_r: to be honest, I am glad it is not just me! npub12hz33t24636gc3p7ppeyscsn8u959ge0etfw4jdxahamw89yf6vq84ynw4 RevK :verified_r: I used to do a lot of coffee, even at school (we had a coffee machine!?). These days it is typically on coffee in the morning only. npub12hz33t24636gc3p7ppeyscsn8u959ge0etfw4jdxahamw89yf6vq84ynw4 RevK :verified_r: [@alphasixtyfive](https://fosstodon.org/@alphasixtyfive) npub12hz33t24636gc3p7ppeyscsn8u959ge0etfw4jdxahamw89yf6vq84ynw4 RevK :verified_r: not had and correlation to caffeine, no. Nice idea. But definite correlation to heart burn. npub12hz33t24636gc3p7ppeyscsn8u959ge0etfw4jdxahamw89yf6vq84ynw4 RevK :verified_r: It has not been done well, it needs weeding as well! npub12hz33t24636gc3p7ppeyscsn8u959ge0etfw4jdxahamw89yf6vq84ynw4 RevK :verified_r: Yeh, that is grass that does not been "feeding". Came with the house... npub12hz33t24636gc3p7ppeyscsn8u959ge0etfw4jdxahamw89yf6vq84ynw4 RevK :verified_r: Slippery as hell before, so yeh. Getting it all ready for summer. As you see, some railings, and clearing the grass. I am also sorting a new heat pump for the hot tub. Should be fun. npub12hz33t24636gc3p7ppeyscsn8u959ge0etfw4jdxahamw89yf6vq84ynw4 RevK :verified_r: There's no place like FΣ3¹⁴ or possibly there's no place like {IW}:=Ω/∞ npub12hz33t24636gc3p7ppeyscsn8u959ge0etfw4jdxahamw89yf6vq84ynw4 RevK :verified_r: Yep. I love hard work, I could watch it all day! npub12hz33t24636gc3p7ppeyscsn8u959ge0etfw4jdxahamw89yf6vq84ynw4 RevK :verified_r: You can see why "grab iPhone from pocket and press the action button (I have set to 'photograph'), point at bird and press it again" works quite well. npub12hz33t24636gc3p7ppeyscsn8u959ge0etfw4jdxahamw89yf6vq84ynw4 RevK :verified_r: Breaking my heart. npub12hz33t24636gc3p7ppeyscsn8u959ge0etfw4jdxahamw89yf6vq84ynw4 RevK :verified_r: There are people selling with real diamond, costing many thousands of pounds, crazy! npub12hz33t24636gc3p7ppeyscsn8u959ge0etfw4jdxahamw89yf6vq84ynw4 RevK :verified_r: OK, really not my style, but I tried it out. Impressed what you can get as a case for an apple watch. Trying to convince my wife to get one now (hence testing the bling). npub12hz33t24636gc3p7ppeyscsn8u959ge0etfw4jdxahamw89yf6vq84ynw4 RevK :verified_r: a 3D case is not likely to help a lot with water. I would recommend a good coating of acrylic spray at least (being very careful of connectors). That or a small screw down plastic case - but charging connector may be fun. There is an order page on https://www.aa.net.uk/etc/circuit-boards/gps/ if you want to buy from us, but the code is also all open source. npub12hz33t24636gc3p7ppeyscsn8u959ge0etfw4jdxahamw89yf6vq84ynw4 RevK :verified_r: designed for exactly this sort of thing, but not inherently waterproof. Easy enough to put in waterproof plastic box I expect. npub12hz33t24636gc3p7ppeyscsn8u959ge0etfw4jdxahamw89yf6vq84ynw4 RevK :verified_r: use that all the time npub12hz33t24636gc3p7ppeyscsn8u959ge0etfw4jdxahamw89yf6vq84ynw4 RevK :verified_r: In practice more like 17:10 for bed. npub12hz33t24636gc3p7ppeyscsn8u959ge0etfw4jdxahamw89yf6vq84ynw4 RevK :verified_r: Time for bed... npub12hz33t24636gc3p7ppeyscsn8u959ge0etfw4jdxahamw89yf6vq84ynw4 RevK :verified_r: Had been for 16:31 here. npub12hz33t24636gc3p7ppeyscsn8u959ge0etfw4jdxahamw89yf6vq84ynw4 RevK :verified_r: you should move on to gopher. npub12hz33t24636gc3p7ppeyscsn8u959ge0etfw4jdxahamw89yf6vq84ynw4 RevK :verified_r: isn’t that basically what apple apps do? npub12hz33t24636gc3p7ppeyscsn8u959ge0etfw4jdxahamw89yf6vq84ynw4 RevK :verified_r: hmm npub12hz33t24636gc3p7ppeyscsn8u959ge0etfw4jdxahamw89yf6vq84ynw4 RevK :verified_r: They tend to be more of a novelty gift. I can’t remember if I have a setting specifically for that. The code makes an openscad file which could be manually edited. Replacing it, as you did, may be the best bet I guess. Otherwise I wonder if the whole thing can be made just much chunkier - maybe make a small box but print twice the size. As for material, I usually use nGen stuff. There is a carbon fibre fill version but not sure how well it would print? npub12hz33t24636gc3p7ppeyscsn8u959ge0etfw4jdxahamw89yf6vq84ynw4 RevK :verified_r: I have no idea! npub12hz33t24636gc3p7ppeyscsn8u959ge0etfw4jdxahamw89yf6vq84ynw4 RevK :verified_r: We have npub12hz33t24636gc3p7ppeyscsn8u959ge0etfw4jdxahamw89yf6vq84ynw4 RevK :verified_r: WTF? npub12hz33t24636gc3p7ppeyscsn8u959ge0etfw4jdxahamw89yf6vq84ynw4 RevK :verified_r: I don’t think I’ll take bets on if they actually collect on Monday. npub12hz33t24636gc3p7ppeyscsn8u959ge0etfw4jdxahamw89yf6vq84ynw4 RevK :verified_r: that makes more sense than “kerbside” npub12hz33t24636gc3p7ppeyscsn8u959ge0etfw4jdxahamw89yf6vq84ynw4 RevK :verified_r: well either side of the kerb is “on the road” as the “road” includes the footpath. But that is indeed what I am asking them. npub12hz33t24636gc3p7ppeyscsn8u959ge0etfw4jdxahamw89yf6vq84ynw4 RevK :verified_r: Hmm, someone pointed out I am expected to leave refuse "kerbside". This surprises me, so I have asked. npub12hz33t24636gc3p7ppeyscsn8u959ge0etfw4jdxahamw89yf6vq84ynw4 RevK :verified_r: [@neil](https://mastodon.neilzone.co.uk/@neil) npub12hz33t24636gc3p7ppeyscsn8u959ge0etfw4jdxahamw89yf6vq84ynw4 RevK :verified_r: Company "D LTD" npub12hz33t24636gc3p7ppeyscsn8u959ge0etfw4jdxahamw89yf6vq84ynw4 RevK :verified_r: Well we have SNMP as well. That is the "normal" way to get usage data on ports. npub12hz33t24636gc3p7ppeyscsn8u959ge0etfw4jdxahamw89yf6vq84ynw4 RevK :verified_r: Wow, way to abuse companies house?! npub12hz33t24636gc3p7ppeyscsn8u959ge0etfw4jdxahamw89yf6vq84ynw4 RevK :verified_r: The graph provides that data with 100s samples.
