My career began in electronics & now it's in IT. I talk nonsense here about my hobby stuff: Electronics, STEM, IoT, Meshtastic, Vintage 8-bit computers. My dog is called Holly & she's much cuter than me | West Sussex, UK | Views are my own humble opinions.
If you've made an Atari Jaguar game or know of any devs that have made one - you may want to check out the guys eBay page because he has quite a few suspicious items www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?i...

Follow up on my dodgy 4GB and 32GB (2 of each) micro SD from AliExpress: They were bought from the same supplier but since they were 2 line items I had to request 2 returns...
4GB: Here's a return label
32GB: Here's a refund, no need to send back.
Um. OK.
Embuggerance - it's such a good word, isn't it?
After four very busy years building global identity systems for Sky, my team and I have all been let go as they restructure.
If anyone needs 'big iron' Java services, wants to build a startup or create something new - let me know.
What a pain. I hope it works out well.
Reminds me of a theatre where I used to do sound & SFX. The stage power bay had a 100A breaker, but fed by a 60A one in the main electrical room (Huh?!). This caught out a few lighting engineers who didn't load plan each scene change carefully. We had the odd blackout when the 60A breaker tripped!

Last time I did some wireframing it was on a MicroVAX 3100 in around 1987.
Icelated: The feeling of relief when an ice cream brain freeze starts to lift.
The fix was to add a switch in the launcher file so not too drastic. Don't know why I didn't switch to Plasma sooner - it's snappier than Cinnamon and matches what I'm running on my laptop (Fedora).
All good thanks. Now on KDE Plasma. Very few issues apart from Signal desktop complaining about a change in key management, which apparently affects all Electron-based apps.

I've just caught up with the Amp Hour podcast. A very interesting glance at PCB assembly.
Using it on two repurposed BT Home Hubs as access points - works great. One AP is also my local DNS proxy with adblock and the other is also a WireGuard endpoint on my LAN.
Thanks for the insight. I might take it one step at a time and check out KDE plasma with X11 on Mint first; it's apparently better with KVM switching and won't require a complete OS reinstall.
Apparently this is a known thing and the fix is to switch to Cinnamon with Wayland, but when I do this other things I need, like Flameshot, don't work - but Fedora + Flameshot on my laptop get along fine. Any tips before I burn up half a day this weekend?
I'm thinking about ditching Mint Linux on my desktop and redoing everything with another distro (Fedora?). The main problem is that often when I switch my double monitors via KVM to my work laptop then back, Cinnamon (or a companion part) has crashed. Anyone else had and fixed this? Contd..
They don't make them like they used to.
A lecture theatre projection welcoming all to the LSE (London School of Economics).
Getting edumacated in London today. Interesting stuff, but, oh, that presentation full of AI generated 'cartoon' pics. 🤮
#DeathByPowerpoint
Forget all this fake online AI socialising.
Me and some mates get together regularly, in person, and have a cuppa & a lovely natter about all sorts of stuff.
We call it ChatPGTips.
Holly the dog - chillin' on the sofa.
It's spreading. What can we do!?
"Wow, that was a busy week ..I'll chill today & do some hobby stuff.."
Then the missus came by..
..for Monday plz: a new cloud server spun up, Mailcow: dockerised installed, 7 mail domains moved, MX records changed, new accts & aliases done..a DPIA & a basic user guide.
The things we do for love.
They call me 007..
I am not good at Linux permissions
Likewise. If you want to be proud of your country, go litter picking, plant some trees, do some community cohesion stuff. Volunteer locally...
I wonder where the flags were made.
Picture of a substation transformer fuse next to a 1.5l bottle of mineral water.
Protip: When designing an electric or electronic circuit, make sure the fuse is big enough.
There's an API for data. I dabbled with it a couple of years ago.

Over on threads someone just use ai;dr and we all need to adopt that right quick
