Ran out of room for non-overlapping new stickers on my laptop lid. So resorted to putting some on the underside!

@jaygooby @popey That’s another HubNut (YouTube channel) sticker. Funny how crap cars and Linux overlap as interests. πŸ˜†

Finally, it seems like the Instagram bridge is finally almost ready to be used.

I can now follow Casey Neistat's Instagram on the Fediverse via @caseyneistat

Software update broke my Ubuntu system. Yea, it's on an iMac so the hardware is a bit weird but still.

@dustinrue Were you going to 24.04 or was it just a standard update?

How does one own a Mac Pro and not know that it’s called a Mac Pro?πŸ€”

@miki Possibly. He’s selling a couple of MS surface tablets and a hifi all with no description and super vague titles. He doesn’t know anything about what he has one way or another.

Can someone who knows radio things please explain to me why once every couple of weeks I go from being able to pick up no nodes to loads as far away as 36 miles?

Does 868MHz have the ability to bounce off clouds or something? It seems to happen for a few hours and then nothing (although always a weak signal).

@tony It is isn’t it! Somebody sent me this link which sounds plausible: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tropospheric_propagation

I don’t have any local signals, it’s rubbish! πŸ˜†

@sam Just doing too many hours of hard thinking for too many days in a row for work. Nothing out of the ordinary but I need to do some proper relaxing this evening and try not to think. How about you?

@sam ☹️ I hope it gets resolved.

I love getting *fan mail because I…don’t have enough time to cover everything

@gamingonlinux What the fuck!? Why don’t they run their own website and write their own articles if they don’t think you’re covering the right things? πŸ˜†

I’m sure you probably know this but just ignore these people. Write the content you think is the right stuff with the time you reasonably can dedicate to it.

I’ve just had an email that my energy bill direct debit is increasing again to Β£138 a month! I need to do something about our power usage… 😭

What do others use, is this just me?

At 25p/kWh when nobody is here we’re using about Β£1.30 per day of electricity which is about 5kWh. That will be mostly my β€œhomelab”.

The rest is contributed to by the fact the washing machine and tumble dryer are on most days because of the kids. An average day is around Β£2.50-Β£3.00 just in usage (10-12kWh).

cablespaghetti,
@cablespaghetti@southampton.social avatar

@Edent Yes someone else suggested that too. I’m on their default one right now so no referral sorry, but definitely need to talk to my wife and see if it’s feasible to put the washing machine/dishwasher etc on based on pricing if we switch to Agile.

cablespaghetti,
@cablespaghetti@southampton.social avatar

@mansr I was once like you. It was an inexpensive time. πŸ˜†

I have all kinds of power hungry things in the house that come with the family. However the homelab, tariff and to some degree when I turn the appliances on are in my control so I suppose I’ll focus on those.

I am currently awake at nearly 2am because my eldest son started coughing quite severely at about midnight.

He’s had a bit of a cough for a week or more but not to this degree. It only really happens at night so might be a pollen induced asthma flare up.

We get complacent over winter, he goes months without any asthma symptoms at all.

Off to the doctors tomorrow morning!

In dodgy GPU adventures, I concluded that the firmware on it before was probably mining optimised.

I’ve flashed three firmwares today, one POSTed but didn’t boot, one booted but had even worse performance than the one that came on it and the latest one won’t even POST. Oh and the HDMI port that was non functional has fallen off now. 🀣

I’ll try and unbrick it later on as the system does seem to at least boot up…just with no display output.
