Oh would you look at that?
My triple-citizen status is confirmed.

Head up, #maker #3DPrinter fans. The just-announced BambuLab lockdown on our printers is on it way - but you can still enroll your printer (with the usual caveats) to run rootable firmware.
Read BambuLab's post here: https://blog.bambulab.com/firmware-update-introducing-new-authorization-control-system-2/
Buuuuuuut,
You can still go through the opt-out procedure (or just not upgrade your printer)
https://bambulab.com/en-us/third-party-firmware/plan
Or, y'know, you could get the keys... https://hackaday.com/2025/01/19/bambu-connects-authentication-x-509-certificate-and-private-key-extracted/ ;)
And I'd recommend X1 Plus firmware :) https://github.com/X1Plus/X1Plus

So... #Carvera just told its backers on #Kickstarter that the first 300 backers should expect their #CarveraAir desktop CNC machines to be shipped on Monday next week.
I'm backer number 274...

It appears someone half ripped my Oregon #protecttranskids sticker off my truck.
I removed the other half. They tried to remove the TransphObia not TransphobiA sticker too but failed. (It had been peeled up but I stuck it back down).
So here’s the thing.
I will buy replacements.
I will put them on my truck.
Fuck your hate. If I’ve existed out of spite for the past 23 years and got on with my “scary trans agenda”… My stickers ain’t going anywhere.

I’m officially done with deailing with buggy behavior stuff on #Trello. Ever since it opened up to #AI, even though we don't want it, it's become unusable.
It forgets tasks.
It doesn't load.
It slows down our team.
So, I'm thinking about rolling my own with #FOSS. We're a small team of four people. We don't need much other than something that tracks projects and due dates and allows us to add files to it.
Suggestions?

Here’s a fun one. One of my #tomato plants is consistently producing these conjoined tomatoes.
I wonder if it’s genetic or environmental?

The fact that the UK news is generally casting #nazis and #punks fighting in Blackpool in a “protest and counter protest” kind of way shows you how complicit they are in allowing hate to spread.
Let me tell you, that’s not okay.
Nazis happened to come to Blackpool when there was a Punk festival going on.
Punk doesn’t take anyone’s shit, let alone fash shit.
They simply took out the trash.
So consensually hug your local punk. They are awesome. #ukpol

OK. I have a massive greenhouse…. It’s 10 feet by 20 feet, and unheated.
What do I grow in it during the winter?
I’m at 850 feet elevation in the coast range west of #pdx.

In the last four days or so #ElonMusk has flown so much he’s generated 25 tons of CO².
25 tons.
That’s more the five times the average yearly emissions for a regular person.

I hate being so tired, scared, worried and not wanting to burden others that I collapse in a mess of tears.

2024-06-07 20:57:41

So, I've been in a bit of a mental hole of late. I haven't wanted to openly talk about it because.. I don't want to burden other people.
But I do need some positive vibes to prevent myself getting further into it.
So, tell me awesome things from your week. GO!

Saying you support #LGBTQIA rights isn’t enough. Saying “Happy Pride” isn’t enough.
Saying to other people that you have friends or family that are LGBTQIA isn’t enough.
Stop using us to show others you’re progressive and safe.
Stand with us. Fight with us. Weep with us. Grow with us. Build a hate-free future for all of us.

@npub1zt3…0v09 I've been burnt in the past. Genuinely end up bottling it up and releasing it into some physical activity. But I'll admit, it's also decimated my mental health over the last ten years.

The absolute worst thing about being someone who is known online for their work (or indeed having a job online) is that it's very difficult o find a safe space to vent and scream and just cry for a bit.
I am going to disappear and do all of those in private, K Thanks, BBL :)

2024-03-06 22:42:09

Ok. Time to be honest. I’ve been at my desk since 9am. I’m failing to mask, and I'm ready to cry lots.
I've done nothing except dink with the server and order new hard drives.

2024-03-01 20:16:01

And my truck is written off. :(

2024-03-01 06:05:43

Today sucked.
TLDR: I hit ice going downhill on fresh snow at 20 mph. Try not to crash, but the truck hits a pylon guide wire that peels the side off, and brings the pylon onto my truck’s roof.
F today.

Today, our wonderful River Song would have been 12 years old. She was a leap-day baby.
Sadly, she passed just one week short of her birthday. Happy Birthday River! We miss you girl.

Look after your puppers, and they will have an amazing adventure through life.
River, our beloved Labrador, who we met between Bristol and Bath, finished her earthbound chapter today. She was one week shy of her 12th Birthday. She rocks.
Her liver was failing, and her arthritis and masses of unknown state were just too much.
She emigrated from the UK to the US with us (and her big brother Pepper the Border Collie) in 2015. She’s just joined Pepper in whatever lays ahead.
February 29, 2012- February 19, 2024.

@npub1d7t…2f20 so much this.
I actually put some outside just because I have too many seeds. gonna be interesting to see them grow in colder temps (I did the same last year with great success!)

2024-02-12 02:20:17

A freshly prepared 8x4 raised bed with fava (broad) beans, cilantro (coriander), beet, dill, and lettuce all planted.
It’s the second week of February. Of course it’ll snow now ;)
On the good side, the garlic is already pushing through our usual straw mulch. This could be a good garlic year!
The bad bit? I came inside to a bunch of #transphobic bullshit in the YouTube comments section.
F that.

Also. I’ve decided I’m too much of a nerd to watch much of the sci fi aimed toward a general audience as they often don’t even try to do soft sci fi in a believable way.
It doesn’t have to be rock hard science fiction but… make it at least close enough that I’m not constantly scratching my head and going “buuttttt”

I forgot to post this yesterday. Our first official seeds of 2024 are in! I planted lots of #parsnips yesterday!
I probably got too carried away, but that’s okay. It’s my garden ;)
