Why would I want to get out of bed? That’s where Blåhaj is.

For @emf, I’m making Mastodot, which in theory prints toots that are hashtagged for the event!

Good morning to you and a very fuck the Tories.
In order to to be able to fuck the Tories you now need ID. If you don’t have ID, go here ASAP to be able to vote against them next week.

I recommend looking up the candidate most likely to beat the Tories in your area and voting for them. Even if they’re a bit shit, because bit shit is better than full of shit.
As we don’t have any kind of proportional voting system, it’s most votes wins.
Even if everyone gets a similar number of votes, the candidate with the highest number just wins.
And that fucking hurts to say. Remember Brexit?

I'm on an unrestricted variable electricity tarrif.
My price per kwh is about to go negative for 3 hours*I can get my oven and air con unit to fight each other, and be paid for it!
*it's so windy that there's nowhere to put all the energy the turbines are generating, so they pay (mostly industry) to use it up. The price shoots up in the evening when everyone starts putting their heating on and cooking dinner. People on a fixed price tarriff are paying ~25p/kWh all day in the UK right now.

A friend has just suggested I turn on a humidifier and a dehumidifier to wirelessly transfer water.

Discriminating against enbies is apparently justified in the UK when it’s too much effort not to, according to The High Court. 😡
“The High Court … found that nonbinary gender is a relevant status when considering whether someone has been subject to discrimination. The Court also agreed that the difference in how Ryan was treated, … was discriminatory. However, the Court found that this discrimination could be justified on grounds of administrative convenience and cost…”

Releasing videos to a schedule is one thing, but releasing videos to a weekly schedule non-stop for a decade is something else entirely.

Putting this out there in case anyone else ends up in a similar situation.
Have you got an IPv6-only internet connection? (Eg. thanks to a dodgy ISP or router)
Have you got a remote server you can SSH to?Set up an SSH Socks proxy, and you'll be able to access the whole internet via it while you work out what's going on. Or in my case, wait until morning.

here's the ssh command:
ssh -D 65432 -q -C -N user@serverOnce it's logged in there'll be no output because you told it to be quiet (-q) and not do anything else (-N). -C compresses the data.
In your computer's network interface settings or your browser's proxy settings:
- proxy server: localhost
- proxy port: 65432
- Socks v5When your internet is fixed or when you're troubleshooting it, remember disable the proxy settings in your network interface and/or in your browser.
