As one of those things you'll do so infrequently you won't remember it, CLI CUPS options are a fucking nightmare.

Learning to get along with Mutt is an exercise in adaptation, but it's fascinating how once you're used to its quirks and you've got it working how you like, no other mail client feels as simple or flexible.

This is a pattern that's repeated constantly for me, from window managers, to text editors, music players, and other things I haven't thought of.

The only thing I've stuck on is web browsers. They're likely the most sophisticated and chubby software I use.

It's too bloody cold.

I've spent an incredible amount of time fucking about with MPD trying to tag a song. I realised it doesn't like id3 v1 tags, for whatever reason.

Oof. RIP Keith Flint. The Prodigy were one of those acts that really crossed genres. Everybody loved them.

Keith was big into his racing bikes, too.

Today my office ambient noise is accompanied by one of those backhoe jackhammers that never quite settles into a rhythm.

I've taken my eye off nstietworking for a while. I didn't really appreciate how much ipv6 has penetrated the consumer device space. It's pretty cool. Work is still pretty conservative but I'm sure it's coming.

*Feeble voice* Yay

Hello tweener.js my old friend #Fedora

Jesus, Google. Stop trying to write my emails for me.

They've reinvented predictive text, and it's shite.

Somewhere out in West Virginia, last Summer.

I'd never been as knackered after a ride as that day. It was great, but exhausting. Felt every day of my 44yrs.

New York on a sweltering day in July 2006, during a heatwave that left much of the Boroughs without power.

This is from that short period of relatively flat skyline downtown.

Note I have very bravely uploaded an image to my Masto instance; this will probably mean it crashes in about 12 hours.

I'm not joking. I've no idea why and have not investigated that heavily but uploading images appears to send a Ruby process into some sort of death spiral.

Apropros I'm not sure why Signal Messenger has become largely tied to Flatpak and Snap. It may be their update cycle and the fact they retire older versions somewhat aggressiely.

Helping someone with their Ubuntu desktop; interesting to see that the software installer seemlessly offers snaps and/or packages. Quite confusing initially.
