This is a machine I cloned out of prod and onto a private dev network, never had an issue with it breaking snap before.

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

Streaming #music seemed like a good idea years ago before there where a dozen of services to choose from

Now I’m back to self-host my music also with #Koel! It also comes with a #Flutter app for #iOS & #Android

It uses #Laravel for the backend so super simple setup 👌🏻

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.

Bomb Cyclone Fujiwhara 🌀🌀

Yes, those are real words. Another area of low pressure is rapidly deepening off the Pacific coast, this time spinning around the first “bomb cyclone” to the north to eventually become the stronger system of the two.

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

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