Upgrading an Ubuntu server with do-release-upgrade and snap doesn't pick up web proxy by default? Come on, canonical.

Similar to when Steven Toast uses 'Royce Coolidge' to check into a hotel, I keep registering VMs on our network then can't remember what I called them

3wks ago, on the M25 on the way to Dorset, a Camera Van perches on a flyover. One thing I definitely don't miss about the UK. #travel

The seafront at Swanage. It was cloudy and cold, and honeslty I would not have had it any other way, because that's how I remember the seaside back home.

As it's work purchased it has to have certain things installed, which limits distros. Annoying but that's the situation.

I don't think I ever got it working in Arch. It's just a camera, but still. Supposed to be fixed in 6.10.* But it ain't.

And while you don't *need* an OEM install from the factory, some of the newer ones have some very picky hardware. The XPS 13 9340 we tried only had camera support with some Dell PPA enabled and Ubuntu 22.04. Upgrading to 24.04 broke it again.

Their configurator didn't allow linux without some insanely expensive spec, so I will probably throw a distro on there as soon as I have time

Got a replacement Dell 16" precision for my old one which died just out of warranty. Dell somehow made it even bigger and heavier, which is impressive. It's like billet steel.

It'll come round in about 3 days at this rate.

I'm thinking of going back again in late Spring but will need to smash the piggybank 🇬🇧

3 weeks ago today I was out in the West End seeing Coogan's Dr. Strangelove. Time goes so fast.

It will use a python API to allow you to spin up 1300 instances of flipjiblets

"INTRODUCING AWS HEADLESS FLIBJIBLET FIRESHIT"

"Dear AWS administrator, AWS will soon be retiring phalange boom 1.1
Please ensure your code works on AWS flipjiblet fireshit, the replacement for AWS phalange boom"

Okay dude

AWS quite frequently send me these emails warning of deprecating a service, and I have *no* idea what on earth they're talking about.
