Last Notes npub1zjd8ssttylwunnacc080paeshn7rjpeyls73vfd27uhepnrypjhsx49s67 Mike [SEC=OFFICIAL] Computers were good enough to do everything we need them to do ten years ago. Everything since then is bullshit. npub1zjd8ssttylwunnacc080paeshn7rjpeyls73vfd27uhepnrypjhsx49s67 Mike [SEC=OFFICIAL] Once again, my professional recommendation in response to the latest Linux kernel vulnerability in the news is that you should gather up all your electronic devices, cast them into the sea, and retreat to the woods. npub1zjd8ssttylwunnacc080paeshn7rjpeyls73vfd27uhepnrypjhsx49s67 Mike [SEC=OFFICIAL] @nprofile…gr74 this is exceptional and unprecedented. npub1zjd8ssttylwunnacc080paeshn7rjpeyls73vfd27uhepnrypjhsx49s67 Mike [SEC=OFFICIAL] It's been quite a day at the op shop. npub1zjd8ssttylwunnacc080paeshn7rjpeyls73vfd27uhepnrypjhsx49s67 Mike [SEC=OFFICIAL] One antique chip posted from the UK, a small piece of tape, a tiny act of vandalism, and finally my Amiga has achieved a new level of hackery. One whole megabyte of chip RAM! npub1zjd8ssttylwunnacc080paeshn7rjpeyls73vfd27uhepnrypjhsx49s67 Mike [SEC=OFFICIAL] I have a growing suspicion that war may be good for absolutely nothing, and I wish someone could have pointed this out to us at some point. npub1zjd8ssttylwunnacc080paeshn7rjpeyls73vfd27uhepnrypjhsx49s67 Mike [SEC=OFFICIAL] I know what kind of content you sickos want. npub1zjd8ssttylwunnacc080paeshn7rjpeyls73vfd27uhepnrypjhsx49s67 Mike [SEC=OFFICIAL] This is a real time recording of my git server's web access logs. It's a constant stream of requests from "Claude" attempting to access every possible item on the site. npub1zjd8ssttylwunnacc080paeshn7rjpeyls73vfd27uhepnrypjhsx49s67 Mike [SEC=OFFICIAL] Quote from an AliExpress product description: npub1zjd8ssttylwunnacc080paeshn7rjpeyls73vfd27uhepnrypjhsx49s67 Mike [SEC=OFFICIAL] When my phone doesn't recognise my face and tells me to "try again" it's hard not to take that personally. npub1zjd8ssttylwunnacc080paeshn7rjpeyls73vfd27uhepnrypjhsx49s67 Mike [SEC=OFFICIAL] Tango Golf India Foxtrot, you have clearance to land. npub1zjd8ssttylwunnacc080paeshn7rjpeyls73vfd27uhepnrypjhsx49s67 Mike [SEC=OFFICIAL] Message from my kid tonight saying they're on the verge of being "Linux-pilled" so I guess there's an exciting new era of family tech support coming ... npub1zjd8ssttylwunnacc080paeshn7rjpeyls73vfd27uhepnrypjhsx49s67 Mike [SEC=OFFICIAL] @nprofile…n5pu @nprofile…nrlp Quantum Leaf? npub1zjd8ssttylwunnacc080paeshn7rjpeyls73vfd27uhepnrypjhsx49s67 Mike [SEC=OFFICIAL] You can tell I'm a highly experienced systems admin because if I ever see anyone asking a technical question about running Linux on their computer, I immediately close my browser, walk away and pretend I didn't. npub1zjd8ssttylwunnacc080paeshn7rjpeyls73vfd27uhepnrypjhsx49s67 Mike [SEC=OFFICIAL] Dear component manufacturers, please stop sending me a new tiny and shitty screwdriver with every purchase. Thank you. npub1zjd8ssttylwunnacc080paeshn7rjpeyls73vfd27uhepnrypjhsx49s67 Mike [SEC=OFFICIAL] One for the road. npub1zjd8ssttylwunnacc080paeshn7rjpeyls73vfd27uhepnrypjhsx49s67 Mike [SEC=OFFICIAL] @nprofile…98cu No. npub1zjd8ssttylwunnacc080paeshn7rjpeyls73vfd27uhepnrypjhsx49s67 Mike [SEC=OFFICIAL] Today in Mike Uses a Mac Again, I'm struck by how weird it is to have iThings around me and not having to keep track of where The Special Apple Wire is. npub1zjd8ssttylwunnacc080paeshn7rjpeyls73vfd27uhepnrypjhsx49s67 Mike [SEC=OFFICIAL] @nprofile…h9yy @nprofile…8nxg are you hiring because I think I could truly excel in this field npub1zjd8ssttylwunnacc080paeshn7rjpeyls73vfd27uhepnrypjhsx49s67 Mike [SEC=OFFICIAL] This is my special box of USB cables. It's special because it has the magical ability to contain every single type of USB cable ever made, except for the one you're looking for right now. npub1zjd8ssttylwunnacc080paeshn7rjpeyls73vfd27uhepnrypjhsx49s67 Mike [SEC=OFFICIAL] My NBN speed upgrade happened overnight, and I was very confused that my tests still peaked at around 90Mb instead of around 250 no matter what I reset or restarted. npub1zjd8ssttylwunnacc080paeshn7rjpeyls73vfd27uhepnrypjhsx49s67 Mike [SEC=OFFICIAL] I have been using some variety of Linux based OS as my primary desktop computing environment for around 20 years and I have never and would never try to convince anyone else to do the same. npub1zjd8ssttylwunnacc080paeshn7rjpeyls73vfd27uhepnrypjhsx49s67 Mike [SEC=OFFICIAL] I just got a phone call and now my phone wants me to rate it. I love this. npub1zjd8ssttylwunnacc080paeshn7rjpeyls73vfd27uhepnrypjhsx49s67 Mike [SEC=OFFICIAL] I just did a reinstall of Debian on a laptop to test something and noted that the AI crud was off by default in Firefox before I signed in or synced up any settings. npub1zjd8ssttylwunnacc080paeshn7rjpeyls73vfd27uhepnrypjhsx49s67 Mike [SEC=OFFICIAL] Sleepy cat has claimed my left leg and I'm not allowed to leave the couch ever again. Sorry if we had any kind of appointment booked in the future. npub1zjd8ssttylwunnacc080paeshn7rjpeyls73vfd27uhepnrypjhsx49s67 Mike [SEC=OFFICIAL] I'd been rolling my own VPNs for a while, since my needs aren't really that demanding, and hadn't really engaged with any commercial providers. npub1zjd8ssttylwunnacc080paeshn7rjpeyls73vfd27uhepnrypjhsx49s67 Mike [SEC=OFFICIAL] Been having a think about how we got stuff on our computers before internets, and some "retro experience" emulator someone mentioned, and I think I want to get a blank floppy, hook it up to my C64, and type in some programs from magazines. npub1zjd8ssttylwunnacc080paeshn7rjpeyls73vfd27uhepnrypjhsx49s67 Mike [SEC=OFFICIAL] Due to various upgrades (sidegrades?) I now have in a drawer at home, 6 E5-2690 Xeon CPUs. npub1zjd8ssttylwunnacc080paeshn7rjpeyls73vfd27uhepnrypjhsx49s67 Mike [SEC=OFFICIAL] I love the positive news about this Australian rocket exploding but I can't help but think there's got to be a now efficient way to destroy jars of Vegemite. Maybe next time they should load up at least two or three of them. npub1zjd8ssttylwunnacc080paeshn7rjpeyls73vfd27uhepnrypjhsx49s67 Mike [SEC=OFFICIAL] I really like the clear and simple face on my new watch, but the rubbery strap is letting the team down. Anyone got any suggestions for materials or colours that might go well? I was thinking maybe a NATO style strap but maybe that's too utilitarian for this? It's not like it's fancy though. A strong colour could new fun. npub1zjd8ssttylwunnacc080paeshn7rjpeyls73vfd27uhepnrypjhsx49s67 Mike [SEC=OFFICIAL] I found this in my mailbox. I have no idea who this is, so it's clearly not a message for me. Maybe it's for you? npub1zjd8ssttylwunnacc080paeshn7rjpeyls73vfd27uhepnrypjhsx49s67 Mike [SEC=OFFICIAL] Yes children, once upon a time they used to run out of TV programs to show to you each day and the station was just turned off and everyone went home. npub1zjd8ssttylwunnacc080paeshn7rjpeyls73vfd27uhepnrypjhsx49s67 Mike [SEC=OFFICIAL] It appears that if I want to get any work done today I'm going to have to answer a riddle. npub1zjd8ssttylwunnacc080paeshn7rjpeyls73vfd27uhepnrypjhsx49s67 Mike [SEC=OFFICIAL] You tube. You pipe. You absolute cylinder. You've doomed us all. npub1zjd8ssttylwunnacc080paeshn7rjpeyls73vfd27uhepnrypjhsx49s67 Mike [SEC=OFFICIAL] New stealth video game idea - get in and out of your workplace while wearing a suit without having to answer any questions about why you're wearing a suit today. npub1zjd8ssttylwunnacc080paeshn7rjpeyls73vfd27uhepnrypjhsx49s67 Mike [SEC=OFFICIAL] @nprofile…mhl7 there's a thread with more info about my keyboard and a link to the caps here: npub1zjd8ssttylwunnacc080paeshn7rjpeyls73vfd27uhepnrypjhsx49s67 Mike [SEC=OFFICIAL] Based on an idea from @nprofile…ztmg and pending the release of some kind of "official" sticker to use, I have now applied a handy reminder label to my keyboard. npub1zjd8ssttylwunnacc080paeshn7rjpeyls73vfd27uhepnrypjhsx49s67 Mike [SEC=OFFICIAL] @nprofile…q5wq dark mode only, no colour scheme detection? I can't read it. npub1zjd8ssttylwunnacc080paeshn7rjpeyls73vfd27uhepnrypjhsx49s67 Mike [SEC=OFFICIAL] Coming up in a week or so (because I have no idea how to price it) is an Amiga 500. npub1zjd8ssttylwunnacc080paeshn7rjpeyls73vfd27uhepnrypjhsx49s67 Mike [SEC=OFFICIAL] I'm going to list this Commodore 1701 monitor on eBay this weekend, starting at $350. If you're reading this and are in Melbourne, I will personally bring it to your door for that price. npub1zjd8ssttylwunnacc080paeshn7rjpeyls73vfd27uhepnrypjhsx49s67 Mike [SEC=OFFICIAL] Anyone looking for a pretty good IT support role in Sydney CBD, DM me for info. Same job that I do in Melbourne. npub1zjd8ssttylwunnacc080paeshn7rjpeyls73vfd27uhepnrypjhsx49s67 Mike [SEC=OFFICIAL] You'd think that the opportunity to put a really bad pun on a big sign and carry it down the street would have a lot more dads showing up at protests, wouldn't you? npub1zjd8ssttylwunnacc080paeshn7rjpeyls73vfd27uhepnrypjhsx49s67 Mike [SEC=OFFICIAL] @nprofile…yu7x how did you feel about Asteroid City? I wasn't expecting to like that as much as I did, so I've been cautiously optimistic about this one. npub1zjd8ssttylwunnacc080paeshn7rjpeyls73vfd27uhepnrypjhsx49s67 Mike [SEC=OFFICIAL] not sure if I'm watching training videos for web dev or first aid at this point npub1zjd8ssttylwunnacc080paeshn7rjpeyls73vfd27uhepnrypjhsx49s67 Mike [SEC=OFFICIAL] For those of you unable to join us live, here's the moment! npub1zjd8ssttylwunnacc080paeshn7rjpeyls73vfd27uhepnrypjhsx49s67 Mike [SEC=OFFICIAL] *hacker voice* I'm in. npub1zjd8ssttylwunnacc080paeshn7rjpeyls73vfd27uhepnrypjhsx49s67 Mike [SEC=OFFICIAL] There's a Sun Microsystems branded server rack for sale in Abbotsford and will someone please go and get it and bring it to my house? Thanks. npub1zjd8ssttylwunnacc080paeshn7rjpeyls73vfd27uhepnrypjhsx49s67 Mike [SEC=OFFICIAL] a very blessed Big Boat Stuck to all who celebrate npub1zjd8ssttylwunnacc080paeshn7rjpeyls73vfd27uhepnrypjhsx49s67 Mike [SEC=OFFICIAL] @nprofile…le8n I don't have a discord account so no that won't work. npub1zjd8ssttylwunnacc080paeshn7rjpeyls73vfd27uhepnrypjhsx49s67 Mike [SEC=OFFICIAL] @nprofile…le8n I can't believe it's got links to a support discord channel but not an official BBS. npub1zjd8ssttylwunnacc080paeshn7rjpeyls73vfd27uhepnrypjhsx49s67 Mike [SEC=OFFICIAL] Stop helping Substack make money you dickheads. npub1zjd8ssttylwunnacc080paeshn7rjpeyls73vfd27uhepnrypjhsx49s67 Mike [SEC=OFFICIAL] :sickos1: :sickos2: npub1zjd8ssttylwunnacc080paeshn7rjpeyls73vfd27uhepnrypjhsx49s67 Mike [SEC=OFFICIAL] Hey folks, what's the best format to supply for a self published ebook these days? My gut says EPUB should work with anything easily enough right? Is there any kind of desirable feature it's lacking? Don't intend any kind of DRM or anything, just something people can easily put on their dedicated book devices from their preferred supplier. npub1zjd8ssttylwunnacc080paeshn7rjpeyls73vfd27uhepnrypjhsx49s67 Mike [SEC=OFFICIAL] Reminder to everyone that you don't need a conclave. You are already a Pope! npub1zjd8ssttylwunnacc080paeshn7rjpeyls73vfd27uhepnrypjhsx49s67 Mike [SEC=OFFICIAL] Dear Mr Microsoft, the word "righto" should not be flagged as a possible spelling error when my language is clearly set to English (Australian). npub1zjd8ssttylwunnacc080paeshn7rjpeyls73vfd27uhepnrypjhsx49s67 Mike [SEC=OFFICIAL] @nprofile…3sf2 it does come across tonally quite similar to "I'm sorry you were offended." npub1zjd8ssttylwunnacc080paeshn7rjpeyls73vfd27uhepnrypjhsx49s67 Mike [SEC=OFFICIAL] @nprofile…5f2h don't want anything for it, it's been sitting on a shelf for years. I want someone who wants it to have it! npub1zjd8ssttylwunnacc080paeshn7rjpeyls73vfd27uhepnrypjhsx49s67 Mike [SEC=OFFICIAL] I have this and I don't know why I have it. Does anyone out there with a retro Mac network setup want it? It's opened, but unused and (I believe) complete so if you like old Mac stuff in boxes, you might enjoy it! Even has the original twist tie around the cable for you to untwist! npub1zjd8ssttylwunnacc080paeshn7rjpeyls73vfd27uhepnrypjhsx49s67 Mike [SEC=OFFICIAL] @nprofile…mjxp you're making it really, really difficult for me to not go out and buy a Plus 4 right now. :awesome: npub1zjd8ssttylwunnacc080paeshn7rjpeyls73vfd27uhepnrypjhsx49s67 Mike [SEC=OFFICIAL] Little DIY repair tip. Electrical tape is generally not considered to be effective when resolving plumbing issues. npub1zjd8ssttylwunnacc080paeshn7rjpeyls73vfd27uhepnrypjhsx49s67 Mike [SEC=OFFICIAL] @nprofile…q5wq this book had better not be too good! npub1zjd8ssttylwunnacc080paeshn7rjpeyls73vfd27uhepnrypjhsx49s67 Mike [SEC=OFFICIAL] @nprofile…q5wq turns out that "make this number a nice round value" is exactly the kind of sales pitch that works on me. npub1zjd8ssttylwunnacc080paeshn7rjpeyls73vfd27uhepnrypjhsx49s67 Mike [SEC=OFFICIAL] @nprofile…7s4z @nprofile…ypkl thanks, that would be greatly appreciated. I sometimes need to look up a user profile or posts for moderation reasons and it's helpful to be able to read them. 😁 npub1zjd8ssttylwunnacc080paeshn7rjpeyls73vfd27uhepnrypjhsx49s67 Mike [SEC=OFFICIAL] Hey @nprofile…ypkl any chance you could change the default theme to System so it's not dark-only for users who aren't logged in? npub1zjd8ssttylwunnacc080paeshn7rjpeyls73vfd27uhepnrypjhsx49s67 Mike [SEC=OFFICIAL] Hey fedi, I'm determined (out of sheer bloody mindedness at this point) to keep my Google Play developer account active, as they seem to be intent on making that as hard as possible for small publishers. npub1zjd8ssttylwunnacc080paeshn7rjpeyls73vfd27uhepnrypjhsx49s67 Mike [SEC=OFFICIAL] People love to criticise the Bureau of Meteorology web site for being neglected and behind the times, but it still works perfectly in the Nintendo 3DS web browser in 2025 and isn't that what's truly important? npub1zjd8ssttylwunnacc080paeshn7rjpeyls73vfd27uhepnrypjhsx49s67 Mike [SEC=OFFICIAL] The number one reason I want to get an electric car is that every servo near me is now playing ads over shitty little speakers embedded in the fuel pumps. npub1zjd8ssttylwunnacc080paeshn7rjpeyls73vfd27uhepnrypjhsx49s67 Mike [SEC=OFFICIAL] I love it when there's been a new iOS release recently, because you get to see all the cool new emojis in people's profiles like �, � and �. npub1zjd8ssttylwunnacc080paeshn7rjpeyls73vfd27uhepnrypjhsx49s67 Mike [SEC=OFFICIAL] Fuck Mozilla but holy shit I do not want to have to start telling people I use something called "Librewolf" there must be something else right? npub1zjd8ssttylwunnacc080paeshn7rjpeyls73vfd27uhepnrypjhsx49s67 Mike [SEC=OFFICIAL] Hello, this is Bene Gesserit technical support, have you tried taking your hand out of the box and putting it back in again? npub1zjd8ssttylwunnacc080paeshn7rjpeyls73vfd27uhepnrypjhsx49s67 Mike [SEC=OFFICIAL] The only fitting reward for Antony Green's decades of service is to appoint him Governor General and let him dismiss a parliament or two. npub1zjd8ssttylwunnacc080paeshn7rjpeyls73vfd27uhepnrypjhsx49s67 Mike [SEC=OFFICIAL] It's Public Liability Insurance time, which basically means I just paid about $200 for a PDF. npub1zjd8ssttylwunnacc080paeshn7rjpeyls73vfd27uhepnrypjhsx49s67 Mike [SEC=OFFICIAL] Them: I get an error pop up when I try to open Word documents in Adobe. Please fix it. npub1zjd8ssttylwunnacc080paeshn7rjpeyls73vfd27uhepnrypjhsx49s67 Mike [SEC=OFFICIAL] There are two kinds of people. npub1zjd8ssttylwunnacc080paeshn7rjpeyls73vfd27uhepnrypjhsx49s67 Mike [SEC=OFFICIAL] @nprofile…8nvu @nprofile…alh2 @nprofile…qxwh @nprofile…fv4m I'm glad it does, but there really need to be some screenshots showing that in the store listing. npub1zjd8ssttylwunnacc080paeshn7rjpeyls73vfd27uhepnrypjhsx49s67 Mike [SEC=OFFICIAL] @nprofile…8nvu @nprofile…alh2 @nprofile…qxwh @nprofile…fv4m it concerns me a bit that every screenshot there is dark-themed. Does the app actually support device light/dark mode preferences? If it does, please show some shots in the gallery because I do tend to skip past things that don't make that clear. npub1zjd8ssttylwunnacc080paeshn7rjpeyls73vfd27uhepnrypjhsx49s67 Mike [SEC=OFFICIAL] Hey, this is driving me crazy! Anyone who specifically has a recent Motorola phone, could you please open https://dev.feedtube.com/post/69/ (nice) in Firefox, in the light theme, and tell me if the body text font seems super light like this? npub1zjd8ssttylwunnacc080paeshn7rjpeyls73vfd27uhepnrypjhsx49s67 Mike [SEC=OFFICIAL] @nprofile…mjxp mine is in an unknown state. One of my shelves in the workshop collapsed a while back and it was one of the things that hit the floor. Haven't inspected it yet, but if I'm going to need to take it apart for that anyway ... might as well do some mods! npub1zjd8ssttylwunnacc080paeshn7rjpeyls73vfd27uhepnrypjhsx49s67 Mike [SEC=OFFICIAL] I think we may need to reevaluate the truth of "ACAB" in light of this new information. npub1zjd8ssttylwunnacc080paeshn7rjpeyls73vfd27uhepnrypjhsx49s67 Mike [SEC=OFFICIAL] Quick update on my cash "refund" or whatever for the Pixel 4a, since the above post got kicked around a bit. npub1zjd8ssttylwunnacc080paeshn7rjpeyls73vfd27uhepnrypjhsx49s67 Mike [SEC=OFFICIAL] Google sent me an email last week about reducing the battery capacity of my old Pixel 4a with an "update" and I ignored the links in it, assuming it was just "buy a new phone" stuff. npub1zjd8ssttylwunnacc080paeshn7rjpeyls73vfd27uhepnrypjhsx49s67 Mike [SEC=OFFICIAL] It's absolutely useless, really, but I had to get the transparent DS Lite memory expansion pack to go into my transparent DS Lite. npub1zjd8ssttylwunnacc080paeshn7rjpeyls73vfd27uhepnrypjhsx49s67 Mike [SEC=OFFICIAL] @nprofile…mjxp the 3-button one would have shipped with a Sun Blade 100 or 150 system! npub1zjd8ssttylwunnacc080paeshn7rjpeyls73vfd27uhepnrypjhsx49s67 Mike [SEC=OFFICIAL] I have been back at work for over two hours now and this is bullshit. npub1zjd8ssttylwunnacc080paeshn7rjpeyls73vfd27uhepnrypjhsx49s67 Mike [SEC=OFFICIAL] My logic probe box is pro as hell. I have fancy LED holders and GROMMETS! npub1zjd8ssttylwunnacc080paeshn7rjpeyls73vfd27uhepnrypjhsx49s67 Mike [SEC=OFFICIAL] My little logic probe is able to probe logics! npub1zjd8ssttylwunnacc080paeshn7rjpeyls73vfd27uhepnrypjhsx49s67 Mike [SEC=OFFICIAL] @nprofile…mjxp damn you, Jan. I didn't have time for this! 😜 npub1zjd8ssttylwunnacc080paeshn7rjpeyls73vfd27uhepnrypjhsx49s67 Mike [SEC=OFFICIAL] Does anyone in Melbourne need a small fridge? It's not fancy but it's reliable. npub1zjd8ssttylwunnacc080paeshn7rjpeyls73vfd27uhepnrypjhsx49s67 Mike [SEC=OFFICIAL] Dear person with laptop issues in Perth, npub1zjd8ssttylwunnacc080paeshn7rjpeyls73vfd27uhepnrypjhsx49s67 Mike [SEC=OFFICIAL] "Australian household wealth up $1.5 trillion in last 12 months" npub1zjd8ssttylwunnacc080paeshn7rjpeyls73vfd27uhepnrypjhsx49s67 Mike [SEC=OFFICIAL] "Free Copilot in your GitHub account" is the 2020s version of "Free U2 album on your iPod". npub1zjd8ssttylwunnacc080paeshn7rjpeyls73vfd27uhepnrypjhsx49s67 Mike [SEC=OFFICIAL] "A Virginia man has died after a bear in a tree shot by one of his hunting partners fell on him, state wildlife officials said." npub1zjd8ssttylwunnacc080paeshn7rjpeyls73vfd27uhepnrypjhsx49s67 Mike [SEC=OFFICIAL] @nprofile…2cpy ☝️🙄 npub1zjd8ssttylwunnacc080paeshn7rjpeyls73vfd27uhepnrypjhsx49s67 Mike [SEC=OFFICIAL] Last night, utterly exhausted and unwell, I was just drifting off to sleep with a purring cat against my leg. Serenity and peace. npub1zjd8ssttylwunnacc080paeshn7rjpeyls73vfd27uhepnrypjhsx49s67 Mike [SEC=OFFICIAL] It's fully operational! I've replaced the digitiser now, and got a fancy new stainless steel and white stylus to match the rest of the setup! I haven't got any GBA cartridges to test with, but I can't see any reason why they wouldn't be fine - and the whole point of this case is seeing things! If you know exactly where to look, you can see my red bodge wires running to the replacement fuse, even. npub1zjd8ssttylwunnacc080paeshn7rjpeyls73vfd27uhepnrypjhsx49s67 Mike [SEC=OFFICIAL] @nprofile…d2rl I have a million spare power cables of all IEC variants kicking around at work in the Melbourne office.
