Allowing myself a single, celebrationary exclamation mark.

@emsquared It's amazing we have poetry at all 🤣 I do quite like more of a Japanese interpretation, just as it tends to lead to shorter, more "fleeting" haiku that seem (to me ;) more floaty and mysterious.

eg
behind a mask
Kendo Nagaski
but no wrestling

#selfhosted Website downtime report: All sites down for ~20 minutes. Wanted to swap plug point over so it's less likely to be accidentally turned off by cat.

Other updates: TubeSync host is now on a smart plug too, and shuts down automatically at 1am.

@emsquared It's all rough ;) "Kendo" would be 3 in Japanese I think anyway - "Ke - n - do".

Wrestling might be taken as 4 even: "re-su-li-ng". I flip and flop, but it's a good reminder of how ugly English is 🤣

@orbific Well exactly. As a user, it's like hiring a tradesperson to come round and rob your house.

Billions spent on machine learning, and you're telling me Facebook still can't filter out a bunch of fake Martin Lewis scam ads automatically?

The future is already here, it's just not being used for anything worthwhile.

@barnoid I understood "barnoid".

Most of my dev work and self-hosted stuff is unaffected by the current cloudflare outage. But my laptop screen has finally died. Uf.

Global tea break.

@adrianh It's ok the internet is still young. Wait another hundred years or so and it'll have matured properly.

Think I've lost a #wiiu hard drive, but gained a spare gamepad PSU I didn't know I had. Swings and retro-roundabouts.

@simsa03 Thanks!

@aperson It'll be snow in June at this rate...

London, yesterday.

Always nice to be back in the 0181s.

Usual Friday morning workflow: Check Discord for hosting company's network status. Emerge from brutalist architecture rabbithole 3.5 hours later.

@glitzersachen Ha, wouldn't mind but it's me that looks after the site 🤣

@botvolution This is why I hate speaking to illustrators. They always do Christmas work in June and don't want to think about it any more by November.

The awesome Right To Repair is looking for a new Campaign Manager in Europe: https://repair.eu/news/campaign-manager/

Thought August mince pies were crazy, but just seen a Christmas tree in someone's window.
