Last Notes npub1nuupa2ggv4hu2pqnmwu80y9jxuc3klhc5yg88yqjshzuf7s8f7gq7pdp6h JamesB @nprofile…x759 Isn't that what a soft check gives you? npub1nuupa2ggv4hu2pqnmwu80y9jxuc3klhc5yg88yqjshzuf7s8f7gq7pdp6h JamesB @nprofile…x759 Soft checks appear to be easy to get without proving ID. Hard checks a lot harder. Companies do soft checks all the time to see if you're worth marketing to using only the basic data they've managed to buy up from data brokers. You only need an address and DOB. npub1nuupa2ggv4hu2pqnmwu80y9jxuc3klhc5yg88yqjshzuf7s8f7gq7pdp6h JamesB @nprofile…x759 Are you sure you're alright Neil? npub1nuupa2ggv4hu2pqnmwu80y9jxuc3klhc5yg88yqjshzuf7s8f7gq7pdp6h JamesB @nprofile…x759 Do you have a list of the sites so I can... erm... add them to a block list. Yes, a block list. npub1nuupa2ggv4hu2pqnmwu80y9jxuc3klhc5yg88yqjshzuf7s8f7gq7pdp6h JamesB OK ham lot. I'm after a weatherproof way of connecting two ladder line cores to an N connector. The last one i had siliconed into a small box and the wind eventually broke the ladder line at the box/silicone line. This is for a G7FEK so both cores to the middle pin. My grounds are fine, they can just come in via a banjo connection. npub1nuupa2ggv4hu2pqnmwu80y9jxuc3klhc5yg88yqjshzuf7s8f7gq7pdp6h JamesB @nprofile…x759 I was pondering about the second option. Essentially this would destroy the Internet as we know it and put it all in the hands of the big boys. Billionaires now control the internet and all the information you'll see. I'm glad I realise I'm a cynic. 👀 npub1nuupa2ggv4hu2pqnmwu80y9jxuc3klhc5yg88yqjshzuf7s8f7gq7pdp6h JamesB @nprofile…x759 It's incredibly sexist of me to claim this but fast fashion sites from the likes of that lot and the others I can't remember aren't exactly frequented by people like you or I. npub1nuupa2ggv4hu2pqnmwu80y9jxuc3klhc5yg88yqjshzuf7s8f7gq7pdp6h JamesB Finally finished ripping all my DVDs. Not so bad, there was only about 100 discs (haven't done Wifeface's yet - far too much Buffy to make me want to buy another HDD) CDs next. That will be fun. We probably have a few thousand between us. npub1nuupa2ggv4hu2pqnmwu80y9jxuc3klhc5yg88yqjshzuf7s8f7gq7pdp6h JamesB @nprofile…x759 There's an add-on for Nextcloud that I was playing with and seemed quite good before I decided that the whole mind mapping thing wasn't really useful to me. npub1nuupa2ggv4hu2pqnmwu80y9jxuc3klhc5yg88yqjshzuf7s8f7gq7pdp6h JamesB TIL that the book "Unix Network Programming" was in Wayne's World 2. So I sat (laid) through it to check. Yep. https://mastodon.radio/system/media_attachments/files/113/800/638/994/436/799/original/9dde6257be077287.png npub1nuupa2ggv4hu2pqnmwu80y9jxuc3klhc5yg88yqjshzuf7s8f7gq7pdp6h JamesB @nprofile…x759 Oh. Well colour me stupid. I was thinking you were sending a link to an account that would toot about the funkwhale thing. I still have to look into finding out what a funkwhale is. npub1nuupa2ggv4hu2pqnmwu80y9jxuc3klhc5yg88yqjshzuf7s8f7gq7pdp6h JamesB @nprofile…x759 The links are just coming up as a webpage rather than a mastodon instance. npub1nuupa2ggv4hu2pqnmwu80y9jxuc3klhc5yg88yqjshzuf7s8f7gq7pdp6h JamesB Go home Tesco, you're drunk. That's not a shepherd's pie. https://mastodon.radio/system/media_attachments/files/113/729/586/830/249/355/original/53fa20d6477dcec8.png npub1nuupa2ggv4hu2pqnmwu80y9jxuc3klhc5yg88yqjshzuf7s8f7gq7pdp6h JamesB @nprofile…dpy5 Probably not in the spirit of the question but I find this one weird for actually keeping it in production. PIC18F6680. The errata is... eye opening. And yes, this did cause me some significant hassle some years back before this was in the errata. https://mastodon.radio/system/media_attachments/files/113/724/379/317/498/367/original/627afe9c558a4982.png npub1nuupa2ggv4hu2pqnmwu80y9jxuc3klhc5yg88yqjshzuf7s8f7gq7pdp6h JamesB @nprofile…32kp I wouldn't trust a bunch of Amateur Radio operators to deal with an emergency, they'd be too busy arguing with themselves who's doing what, how to do it and complaining about medical problems intertwined with casual racism. Source: I am one. npub1nuupa2ggv4hu2pqnmwu80y9jxuc3klhc5yg88yqjshzuf7s8f7gq7pdp6h JamesB @nprofile…x759 But if I ask them to remove the parental lock they're going to think I'm some sort of pervert... @nprofile…rzhn npub1nuupa2ggv4hu2pqnmwu80y9jxuc3klhc5yg88yqjshzuf7s8f7gq7pdp6h JamesB @nprofile…x759 Easy. Restrict it to the Scancom EE data SIMs that won't even allow access to @nprofile…rzhn's blog. npub1nuupa2ggv4hu2pqnmwu80y9jxuc3klhc5yg88yqjshzuf7s8f7gq7pdp6h JamesB @nprofile…x759 Of course that's why he was collecting the cards... it's obvious when you think about it. npub1nuupa2ggv4hu2pqnmwu80y9jxuc3klhc5yg88yqjshzuf7s8f7gq7pdp6h JamesB @nprofile…x759 I could set you up right now while I'm reading these 30 pages of legalese so you could actually say "That Would Be An Ecumenical Matter" npub1nuupa2ggv4hu2pqnmwu80y9jxuc3klhc5yg88yqjshzuf7s8f7gq7pdp6h JamesB Jeeze. I thought Veale Wasbrough Vizards was a joke solicitor's name. Apparently not. npub1nuupa2ggv4hu2pqnmwu80y9jxuc3klhc5yg88yqjshzuf7s8f7gq7pdp6h JamesB @nprofile…32kp @nprofile…tajy I'm interested. I have enough UPS to last ten mins before shutting systems down but I've been meaning to get another one just for ONT/Router/WiFi purposes. Mainly to keep my dearly beloved happy. npub1nuupa2ggv4hu2pqnmwu80y9jxuc3klhc5yg88yqjshzuf7s8f7gq7pdp6h JamesB @nprofile…dpy5 Don't blame you. Cheltenham is awful. npub1nuupa2ggv4hu2pqnmwu80y9jxuc3klhc5yg88yqjshzuf7s8f7gq7pdp6h JamesB @nprofile…dpy5 TBF it was the donut I was referring to. npub1nuupa2ggv4hu2pqnmwu80y9jxuc3klhc5yg88yqjshzuf7s8f7gq7pdp6h JamesB @nprofile…dpy5 There's a small agency in Cheltenham that I know of. npub1nuupa2ggv4hu2pqnmwu80y9jxuc3klhc5yg88yqjshzuf7s8f7gq7pdp6h JamesB @npub17wk…uzqr Says the Windows user... I jest of course. The right tool for the right job. FOSS isn't a magic fucking wand that sorts all problems. I use plenty of proprietary shit and will continue to do so as long as it does what I need it to do without a viable FOSS alternative. FOSS people that make it their entire character get filed in the same bin as RMS and ESR. Which are quite unfortunate names given the career I fell into. npub1nuupa2ggv4hu2pqnmwu80y9jxuc3klhc5yg88yqjshzuf7s8f7gq7pdp6h JamesB Updating the firmware on my radiator. What a time to be alive. npub1nuupa2ggv4hu2pqnmwu80y9jxuc3klhc5yg88yqjshzuf7s8f7gq7pdp6h JamesB @npub198t…hasj Why have I got Bertha in my head now? *Looks it up* Only 13 episodes? Wow. Seemed like it went forever. npub1nuupa2ggv4hu2pqnmwu80y9jxuc3klhc5yg88yqjshzuf7s8f7gq7pdp6h JamesB @npub198t…hasj Just read the latest blog post and the one about back to Firefox. For Firefox sync, I assume you mean bookmarks. Have you heard about the Floccus extension that syncs with Nextcloud Bookmarks? npub1nuupa2ggv4hu2pqnmwu80y9jxuc3klhc5yg88yqjshzuf7s8f7gq7pdp6h JamesB @npub19lt…qfjk Have you tried the Bean Burger at Wimpy? npub1nuupa2ggv4hu2pqnmwu80y9jxuc3klhc5yg88yqjshzuf7s8f7gq7pdp6h JamesB @npub198t…hasj how do I view videos of cats? npub1nuupa2ggv4hu2pqnmwu80y9jxuc3klhc5yg88yqjshzuf7s8f7gq7pdp6h JamesB @npub198t…hasj Photos of the rack or it didn't happen. npub1nuupa2ggv4hu2pqnmwu80y9jxuc3klhc5yg88yqjshzuf7s8f7gq7pdp6h JamesB @npub1zdm…g0vj Problem is that they all come as bare die without any lead frames. npub1nuupa2ggv4hu2pqnmwu80y9jxuc3klhc5yg88yqjshzuf7s8f7gq7pdp6h JamesB Thanks to a combination of @npub14un…nv92 and me being easily led I have a new toy. It very smol and cute. Apologies for R2 but it was the only frequency that isn't data noises I could remember before caffeine. https://mastodon.radio/system/media_attachments/files/112/908/032/486/539/036/original/326a35ad99a7959c.jpg npub1nuupa2ggv4hu2pqnmwu80y9jxuc3klhc5yg88yqjshzuf7s8f7gq7pdp6h JamesB What are the access points de jour these days? Heard enough whinging to stay away from Ubiquity. I don't want them anywhere near the cloud. Some software config thing that works on the usual suspect OSs will be fine. Must support multiple VLANs and obviously by that multiple SSIDs. I'm quite happy if they're only 2.4GHz but 5GHz is a bonus. I need three of them. Ruabon Red Brick contains a lot of iron and it's awful for Wifi signals hence I need three for my smol haus. npub1nuupa2ggv4hu2pqnmwu80y9jxuc3klhc5yg88yqjshzuf7s8f7gq7pdp6h JamesB Hmm. Does a thing where you can just plug something in and it gets the MAC address of the device before you want to connect the device to your real network exist? If not, why not? Not all devices have the MAC on a label, and they're usually trivial to change anyway. npub1nuupa2ggv4hu2pqnmwu80y9jxuc3klhc5yg88yqjshzuf7s8f7gq7pdp6h JamesB Someone has finally been done in modern times for *checks notes* "Handling a Salmon under Suspicious Circumstances" https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cd1740yxx85o npub1nuupa2ggv4hu2pqnmwu80y9jxuc3klhc5yg88yqjshzuf7s8f7gq7pdp6h JamesB @npub1fvt…83fu Am I going to have to sweep this room for hidden cameras now? npub1nuupa2ggv4hu2pqnmwu80y9jxuc3klhc5yg88yqjshzuf7s8f7gq7pdp6h JamesB I swear this room probably has more ethernet cable per m^2 than Telehouse. npub1nuupa2ggv4hu2pqnmwu80y9jxuc3klhc5yg88yqjshzuf7s8f7gq7pdp6h JamesB Lord Cameron resigns? Resigns from what? npub1nuupa2ggv4hu2pqnmwu80y9jxuc3klhc5yg88yqjshzuf7s8f7gq7pdp6h JamesB @npub198t…hasj Does "Go fuck yourself!" count as sexual because that's the furthest I'd ever go. /tic npub1nuupa2ggv4hu2pqnmwu80y9jxuc3klhc5yg88yqjshzuf7s8f7gq7pdp6h JamesB These N100 mini PCs you see on AliExpress with serial ports... I guess at least one of you out there must have one. Are they actual real serial ports or are they using a USB bridge? npub1nuupa2ggv4hu2pqnmwu80y9jxuc3klhc5yg88yqjshzuf7s8f7gq7pdp6h JamesB @npub198t…hasj Apparently there have been some more goals. npub1nuupa2ggv4hu2pqnmwu80y9jxuc3klhc5yg88yqjshzuf7s8f7gq7pdp6h JamesB @npub198t…hasj I was just about to toot the same. Thankfully I decided to hold off... npub1nuupa2ggv4hu2pqnmwu80y9jxuc3klhc5yg88yqjshzuf7s8f7gq7pdp6h JamesB I only read Reddit because it makes me realise that I'm not as stupid as I think I am. npub1nuupa2ggv4hu2pqnmwu80y9jxuc3klhc5yg88yqjshzuf7s8f7gq7pdp6h JamesB @npub19lt…qfjk I think I need to purchase one of these. npub1nuupa2ggv4hu2pqnmwu80y9jxuc3klhc5yg88yqjshzuf7s8f7gq7pdp6h JamesB 20 odd years ago I lived in a student house not far from where I live now (about 100m as the crow flies). A lovely tripod cat that had definitely seen some wars used to let himself in and come up to my bedroom for some fuss. His name was Charlie. Delighted that so long afterwards I can bring that back to the community. Everyone loves Timmeh. npub1nuupa2ggv4hu2pqnmwu80y9jxuc3klhc5yg88yqjshzuf7s8f7gq7pdp6h JamesB @npub1r2z…0jxt Aww, she's lovely. npub1nuupa2ggv4hu2pqnmwu80y9jxuc3klhc5yg88yqjshzuf7s8f7gq7pdp6h JamesB A few years ago I did get to introduce Wifeface to our postman and without a hint of irony I got to say "I bet this is the first time you've seen her with clothes on". npub1nuupa2ggv4hu2pqnmwu80y9jxuc3klhc5yg88yqjshzuf7s8f7gq7pdp6h JamesB @npub1xj8…r9lm No, it's shit but at only £3.50 I'm not going to complain. npub1nuupa2ggv4hu2pqnmwu80y9jxuc3klhc5yg88yqjshzuf7s8f7gq7pdp6h JamesB @npub1xj8…r9lm What doesn't kill you... https://mastodon.radio/system/media_attachments/files/112/666/014/141/754/348/original/568b74afd19a77da.jpg npub1nuupa2ggv4hu2pqnmwu80y9jxuc3klhc5yg88yqjshzuf7s8f7gq7pdp6h JamesB Well it's not every day you get to headbutt your postman. Please note this was entirely consensual. npub1nuupa2ggv4hu2pqnmwu80y9jxuc3klhc5yg88yqjshzuf7s8f7gq7pdp6h JamesB He's so adorable. I won't get it into the long story but I'm so glad the RSPCA didn't put him down and let us adopt him, and they funded his amputation. npub1nuupa2ggv4hu2pqnmwu80y9jxuc3klhc5yg88yqjshzuf7s8f7gq7pdp6h JamesB It's not a trap. Timmeh loves belly scritches. npub1nuupa2ggv4hu2pqnmwu80y9jxuc3klhc5yg88yqjshzuf7s8f7gq7pdp6h JamesB It's a trap. https://mastodon.radio/system/media_attachments/files/112/665/817/099/886/130/original/52ea26f6b5cd7e2e.jpg npub1nuupa2ggv4hu2pqnmwu80y9jxuc3klhc5yg88yqjshzuf7s8f7gq7pdp6h JamesB @npub18hq…znkd I'm with you on this. We have a lot on North Wales and I love seeing them come into view as we go around. npub1nuupa2ggv4hu2pqnmwu80y9jxuc3klhc5yg88yqjshzuf7s8f7gq7pdp6h JamesB Wifeface is definitely not a fan of the definitely not BIR curries I picked up yesterday. Oh well, more for me! npub1nuupa2ggv4hu2pqnmwu80y9jxuc3klhc5yg88yqjshzuf7s8f7gq7pdp6h JamesB @npub1xj8…r9lm I'm thinking about sneaking off to the pub. npub1nuupa2ggv4hu2pqnmwu80y9jxuc3klhc5yg88yqjshzuf7s8f7gq7pdp6h JamesB @npub1xj8…r9lm I have a bastard behind the eyes and I feel like a pig shat in my head. npub1nuupa2ggv4hu2pqnmwu80y9jxuc3klhc5yg88yqjshzuf7s8f7gq7pdp6h JamesB Definitely into "seemed like a good idea at the time" territory. npub1nuupa2ggv4hu2pqnmwu80y9jxuc3klhc5yg88yqjshzuf7s8f7gq7pdp6h JamesB @npub1uk5…czap Chicken hearts are lovely. npub1nuupa2ggv4hu2pqnmwu80y9jxuc3klhc5yg88yqjshzuf7s8f7gq7pdp6h JamesB @npub1k8s…zuc9 I could never make it taste good. I don't mind it in Polish soups though, they seem to manage to get it to taste good. npub1nuupa2ggv4hu2pqnmwu80y9jxuc3klhc5yg88yqjshzuf7s8f7gq7pdp6h JamesB Subtoot: I've done my time as a veggie, even before it was cool. Do I like the meat industry? No. But I've made my peace with eating animals. I believe that if you're going to eat them then don't waste them. Especially the icky bits. npub1nuupa2ggv4hu2pqnmwu80y9jxuc3klhc5yg88yqjshzuf7s8f7gq7pdp6h JamesB Waking back up and going out to the pub with half of The Coven was probably a bad idea npub1nuupa2ggv4hu2pqnmwu80y9jxuc3klhc5yg88yqjshzuf7s8f7gq7pdp6h JamesB I didn't manage to get Nihari as they sold out but I did get Butter Chicken. Having eaten it now I'm quite glad that now I know my own Butter Chicken recipe is pretty good. npub1nuupa2ggv4hu2pqnmwu80y9jxuc3klhc5yg88yqjshzuf7s8f7gq7pdp6h JamesB @npub1stl…zjjc They sold out of Nihari. Bastards. npub1nuupa2ggv4hu2pqnmwu80y9jxuc3klhc5yg88yqjshzuf7s8f7gq7pdp6h JamesB @npub1jsf…frad I....I...I have no idea what you just said. npub1nuupa2ggv4hu2pqnmwu80y9jxuc3klhc5yg88yqjshzuf7s8f7gq7pdp6h JamesB "Why the fuck are you all eating caviar?" npub1nuupa2ggv4hu2pqnmwu80y9jxuc3klhc5yg88yqjshzuf7s8f7gq7pdp6h JamesB @npub1yr3…6cw9 Haven't had any since the village society visit to the United Artists cable headend in the late 90s. Not bad. npub1nuupa2ggv4hu2pqnmwu80y9jxuc3klhc5yg88yqjshzuf7s8f7gq7pdp6h JamesB @npub1yr3…6cw9 Well now... https://mastodon.radio/system/media_attachments/files/112/660/538/052/840/390/original/59c0fb2dd56991f6.jpg npub1nuupa2ggv4hu2pqnmwu80y9jxuc3klhc5yg88yqjshzuf7s8f7gq7pdp6h JamesB @npub1yr3…6cw9 Caviar sounds like a great idea actually. Not sure if I can find any in Wrexham today though. npub1nuupa2ggv4hu2pqnmwu80y9jxuc3klhc5yg88yqjshzuf7s8f7gq7pdp6h JamesB @npub1jsf…frad As a person who doesn't understand this stuff yet, what's the difference between the 1/2 Panama and the normal? I want to make a utility kilt out of it. npub1nuupa2ggv4hu2pqnmwu80y9jxuc3klhc5yg88yqjshzuf7s8f7gq7pdp6h JamesB FFS. If I ask if it's the sugar one rather than the artificial sweetener one I don't want to get into a chat about your conspiracy theories. I just don't like the taste of aspartame. Or any of the others really. npub1nuupa2ggv4hu2pqnmwu80y9jxuc3klhc5yg88yqjshzuf7s8f7gq7pdp6h JamesB This was a really bad idea. npub1nuupa2ggv4hu2pqnmwu80y9jxuc3klhc5yg88yqjshzuf7s8f7gq7pdp6h JamesB "James, do you want to finish this passion fruit vodka bottle off, I'll just put it through as a double?" Absolutely. npub1nuupa2ggv4hu2pqnmwu80y9jxuc3klhc5yg88yqjshzuf7s8f7gq7pdp6h JamesB @npub12a9…f7fa I got even more out yesterday. Problem now that my ear is clear I've realised that the other one needs doing. Should be all clear for International Bathams Day. npub1nuupa2ggv4hu2pqnmwu80y9jxuc3klhc5yg88yqjshzuf7s8f7gq7pdp6h JamesB I am going on a Nihari hunt. I miss good Nihari. npub1nuupa2ggv4hu2pqnmwu80y9jxuc3klhc5yg88yqjshzuf7s8f7gq7pdp6h JamesB @npub12u7…wtsg You raise a valid point. npub1nuupa2ggv4hu2pqnmwu80y9jxuc3klhc5yg88yqjshzuf7s8f7gq7pdp6h JamesB Today's fun is DWP. They're insisting that they can only speak about the issue to my Mum. The issue being an overpayment they made after she died. The letter about the issue was sent to ME. npub1nuupa2ggv4hu2pqnmwu80y9jxuc3klhc5yg88yqjshzuf7s8f7gq7pdp6h JamesB @npub14y9…p4z7 True... npub1nuupa2ggv4hu2pqnmwu80y9jxuc3klhc5yg88yqjshzuf7s8f7gq7pdp6h JamesB There's also talk of contacting them so they can action a discount. I bet the person who wrote the letter holds their mobile phone perpendicular to their face and has it on speakerphone. npub1nuupa2ggv4hu2pqnmwu80y9jxuc3klhc5yg88yqjshzuf7s8f7gq7pdp6h JamesB Letter from the Milkman saying that they're changing the delivery days so their drivers "can get a little more rest bite for their family". Sounds painful. npub1nuupa2ggv4hu2pqnmwu80y9jxuc3klhc5yg88yqjshzuf7s8f7gq7pdp6h JamesB @npub1asm…4pqa My post still stands... npub1nuupa2ggv4hu2pqnmwu80y9jxuc3klhc5yg88yqjshzuf7s8f7gq7pdp6h JamesB Them: "If anyone's got a Startech USB modem they don't mind opening up could they..." Me: Get me the fucking hammer so I can smash this hateful bastard thing up.

K THX BAI. npub1nuupa2ggv4hu2pqnmwu80y9jxuc3klhc5yg88yqjshzuf7s8f7gq7pdp6h JamesB I'm no boomer but I feel it coming on when I read how to install some stuff on Linux these days. Yeah, I'll curl some random script... fuck off. npub1nuupa2ggv4hu2pqnmwu80y9jxuc3klhc5yg88yqjshzuf7s8f7gq7pdp6h JamesB Just had a message from my uncle asking where my parent's ashes are interred. Yeah, I should probably sort that out. Why hasn't the funeral director sorted that out, they were meant to. *Little cry* Right, fine now. npub1nuupa2ggv4hu2pqnmwu80y9jxuc3klhc5yg88yqjshzuf7s8f7gq7pdp6h JamesB @npub1vnp…tl37 Ok, you win. I've never been that daft. npub1nuupa2ggv4hu2pqnmwu80y9jxuc3klhc5yg88yqjshzuf7s8f7gq7pdp6h JamesB @npub1smx…ce4f Easy then, even if there isn't an inbuilt add on for it. Cool, thanks. npub1nuupa2ggv4hu2pqnmwu80y9jxuc3klhc5yg88yqjshzuf7s8f7gq7pdp6h JamesB I love gym bunnies that tell me that the answer to all my body problems is more exercise. I walk everywhere. I used to cycle but can't do that now because drivers are wankers. Still waiting for a gym bunny to explain how exercising more is going to put a badly healed shoulder injury back in place when I pull my top down and show them the bone sticking out. After that article this week I can't imagine how much my back would hurt if I didn't walk everywhere. 100% more if my maths is right. npub1nuupa2ggv4hu2pqnmwu80y9jxuc3klhc5yg88yqjshzuf7s8f7gq7pdp6h JamesB @npub1vnp…tl37 I used to be the first one to get up and try something stupid. I just can't afford to now. npub1nuupa2ggv4hu2pqnmwu80y9jxuc3klhc5yg88yqjshzuf7s8f7gq7pdp6h JamesB @npub14un…nv92 I've had the fish and chips from there, I've had the curry. Has to be kebab tonight. npub1nuupa2ggv4hu2pqnmwu80y9jxuc3klhc5yg88yqjshzuf7s8f7gq7pdp6h JamesB @npub1vnp…tl37 I've broken my body so much now doing things over the years that I'm afraid to do stuff and possibly break it any more. My Dad had more mobility than me before he died earlier this year at 80 years old. npub1nuupa2ggv4hu2pqnmwu80y9jxuc3klhc5yg88yqjshzuf7s8f7gq7pdp6h JamesB @npub1vnp…tl37 I never used to be scared of ladders and stuff, I did all sorts of stupid shit. With experience now I know how much it hurts. npub1nuupa2ggv4hu2pqnmwu80y9jxuc3klhc5yg88yqjshzuf7s8f7gq7pdp6h JamesB @npub1smx…ce4f I assume it can be used by Home Assistant fairly easily so I don't have to hack something together. I haven't really looked into it yet. npub1nuupa2ggv4hu2pqnmwu80y9jxuc3klhc5yg88yqjshzuf7s8f7gq7pdp6h JamesB @npub1d3g…avxe I know, but I have quite a few cables. npub1nuupa2ggv4hu2pqnmwu80y9jxuc3klhc5yg88yqjshzuf7s8f7gq7pdp6h JamesB Hmm. May as well replace the feedlines and route cables nicely this time now that I don't have a landlord to shout at me. I'm in the pub. Someone must have a core drill. I have no soffits so it's the only way in that isn't the window. npub1nuupa2ggv4hu2pqnmwu80y9jxuc3klhc5yg88yqjshzuf7s8f7gq7pdp6h JamesB Bugger. My Pushover trial has ended. Guess I'll be setting up Nfty tomorrow as well then.
