@npub18et…m5kt strange how those last few chapters are full of dust that really irritate the eyes, aye?

Awesome. legal@adobe.com is an unattended mailbox, that tells me to email my Adobe representative. I don't have one. So, how I do tell Adobe to stop calling me? I've told the caller this the last 3 times, yet they keep calling me.
Fuckers.

@npub16uk…pv7k umm, I have what it was developed in. But it appears to still exist, but renamed. https://freshcode.club/

@npub16uk…pv7k when I was at Uni a daily thing I'd do was check FreshMeat for new software releases and build interesting sounding packages.

@npub16uk…pv7k have you checked the DataPod concept?

@npub1ke3…xcva maybe, but there are a bunch of common ones. Perhaps I should write a filter that just expands any if the common set.

Sigh, the move to using FQCNs in Ansible means so. much. more typing.

@npub19xu…e8yd absolutely. But then we'll end up with the "cash price" stuff that LV Martins used to advertise.

2024-07-04 06:47:15

Dontcha just love false advertising?
To make it more fun, a sign at the checkout said "surcharge 1.5% paywave only". Guess what, dear readers, there was a surcharge for credit card, not just paywave.
Sadly, I didn't get a photo of the sign, but will go back another day to see if it was been replaced as they assured me they would.

@npub19xu…e8yd give up and just accept that people will email you again if it is import.

@npub19xu…e8yd and why important (not just critical) services need to be hosted in NZ, and be able to operate if we're cut off.

@npub16uk…pv7k you'd better test again, and again, and again, and... Just to make sure you'll always get over it.

After the 3rd halogen downlight in my kitchen died, leaving it rather murky, I decided it was time to learn how to remove the silly clips that retain them. Stupidly easy. Now I have a much brighter kitchen.
Except for one corner that for a totally unknown reason has no downlight in it.

I hope people in appropriate government agencies in NZ are looking at this...

@npub1hxf…g8qu I really hope that government agencies and companies etc will start thinking twice about centralising all their email with one or two companies.
Run your own email servers. Yes, they need to be managed, but that can be outsourced to specialist companies if so desired. They can still be on a cloud, but lots of different servers makes it so much harder to compromise vast numbers of mailboxes.

Oh my goodness. The economy light on a Fujitsu heat pump is flashing.
According to what is most likely an AI article, this is one the reasons it could be flashing:
"This can be caused by a variety of factors, including a drop in consumer confidence, a decline in the stock market, or a decrease in consumer spending."

Wow. things to check "Is there power", uhhh, if there isn't power, then how is the light flashing?!
Who checks this shit?

@npub13le…6saf I should pull my HP plotter out. I wonder if it'd still work.

This is fun. Typical greylisting for email is 15 minutes. LEGO sends a token via email that has a lifetime of 6 minutes.
