@evan Ha, love it. A proactive birthday card. All the best Evan mate.

@clacke the world needs more of this enlightenment

@clacke we lack such sophisticated options here in Broken Hill.

@clacke I've never heard of a sushi corn roll... Must be crazy kid friendly fud

@georgepenney that's how I want to be...

@clacke that deserves to be celebrated. Happy for you ☺️

@v_perjorative thank you for supporting my chocolate digestive habit

@botvolution and always has been…

Just transferred some money (Aus -> UK) to my Sister to put toward my Dad’s birthday. I identified every bus, bicycle and traffic light in the American continent and received enough text messages for a Catholic confirmation with God. My own fault I suppose as I was logged into a VPN at the time. Security all seemed a bit haphazard and batshit crazy though if I'm honest.

I paid extra to cover the transfer fees then there was extra 20 quid fee added on just for the heck of it. The financial industry is a conglomeration of dodgy broken thieving middlemen is it not?

@clacke I had to sort out my 90yr old neighbour today. She really is a chaos goblin. There is definitely some truth to the idea that old age is in some ways retiring to childhood.

@clacke kids really are the best chaos goblins aren't they?

@goatsarah well done on the crossing 😊👍

An exercise in frustration, a thread.

In the downtime between never-ending house reno’s I have been tinkering with an old Raspberry Pi 3 B. I am attempting to set it up as an Access Point. At the moment it runs with the old insecure WPA and refuses to connect via RSN.

#rpi #raspberrypi #rpi3

I have already thoroughly banged my head against the various hostapd & wpa_supplicant pathways. I have read and tried dozens of forum ‘solutions’.

My most recent attempt used a fresh Raspberry Pi OS (formerly known as Raspbian) install and I followed the official AP setup instructions, https://www.raspberrypi.com/documentation/computers/configuration.html#host-a-wireless-network-from-your-raspberry-pi

At this stage I have nothing to lose so I am going to see if there is a firmware update…

WARNING: This update bumps to rpi-6.6.y linux tree
See: https://forums.raspberrypi.com/viewtopic.php?p=2191175

'rpi-update' should only be used if there is a specific
reason to do so - for example, a request by a Raspberry Pi
engineer or if you want to help the testing effort
and are comfortable with restoring if there are regressions.

DO NOT use 'api-update' as part of a regular update process.

…

Woohoo, let’s go

@katyswain oh, I see. But did you get a laugh?

I just read this talk by @Mer__edith - I had not realised how deeply AI technology is supporting the Israeli genocide of the Palestinians.

“Instead of serving ads, Lavender automatically puts people on a kill list based on the likeness of their surveillance data patterns to the data patterns of purported militants – a process that we know, as experts, is hugely inaccurate. Here we have the AI-driven logic of ad targeting, but for killing.”
