It's a laugh because we know that person, and have probably *been* that person on some days, but it also ignores things like working on holiday (done that regularly) working well out of hours (ditto) so I won't judge fucking around on the clock too harshly.

Remember Belgium doesn’t exist, it is simply a joke the French made up.
You can notice it as the border control has to check if your smurf on your passport is legitimate!

The wind is howling at the windows. Although I've heard this frequently, it is an unnerving noise.

The usually lovely Debian documentation has a good section on discouraging use of sudo, but blots the copybook a bit by having examples of it all over the place...

One of the nice things about the Fedi is you run your instance pretty much how you please. There was some friction a few years ago when people formed factions that were all about bullying people into who they should or shouldn't federate with, to which I say: fuck that noise.

It's funny seeing all the drama at BlueSky about blocklists, because those people learnt the hard way this is not the safety utopia one thinks it is.

Don't judge them though, because exactly the same thing happened here, when a whole fucking bunch of users decided that what a community needed was lots of policing, and they behaved accordingly.

My youngest son decided to spend his pocket money on a bargain table book of dad jokes at Barnes & Noble. I did not know of this development. He ran into the living clutching it and shouted

"BAD NEWS DAD. NOW I HAVE *ALL* THE JOKES"

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.

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.

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 👌🏻

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.
