Look after yourself and rest lots. I hope you feel better soon.

It is a shame my dad no longer lives there or you could have stayed with him overnight

YouTube video by emptywheel John Durham's Crime

Here's an explanation of what the Durham annex ACTUALLY shows.

It actually shows that Durham committed precisely the crime he was investigating--getting warrants long after he knew the two prongs of his investigation were false.

GDPR and data controller laws will apply to Epic here because we are in the UK. I suspect this will not go well for them if enough people say they want their data removed from their databases. What a mess.

Without opening it up it is hard to tell but if the motor coils have a fault it is very dead unfortunately. If it has a surge protector that has failed it could be fixed though.

Hanging around at the ice rink while Rosa goes skating is not the worst life choice today. Not looking forward to the walk home though.

Seems to be working ok for me

Well that sounds rubbish

Building your own using something like TrueNAS on a Raspberry Pi 5 or similar might be the cheapest option.

I have a second hand Synology that I lightly hacked to stop it complaining about non-approved components. It is currently limited by the mechanical disk speeds on my 10Gb/2.5Gb network, and that is good enough for me. Its processor is woeful though and it cannot transcode.

So so pleased to hear that 😊

Although there are some microcontrollers that only have a C compiler, so it could be useful, perhaps.

This feels like the very essence of reinventing the wheel, only badly.

It is absolutely fine to say maybe and only come if you can. I hope your MH gets better *hugs*

If I were to hold a particularly fancy champagne high tea for my birthday on Sunday 6th April, who would be free? Rosa will be the head chef again.

My famous (though not direct) ancestor might get a mention. He was also governor of Tasmania at one point.

You should definitely rest after a GA. Take it easy and I hope you have a speedy recovery.

Sending you all the best most positive almost annoyingly perky vibes. Good luck!

Well for my autistic kids anything that would help them pass history or biology exams and they will read every word on every notice. I realized this might be the reverse of what would appeal to anyone else. They would also want to go when no one else was there.

I imagine AIX and HP-UX are also dying a similar death.

My company has data analysts and is a pretty good place to work. Offices in Chester and London but lots of working from home. Shall I see if there are any vacancies?

I know what you mean. I now wonder why we didn't all move to Dreamwidth?

We are having a Serenity New Year's Eve Party and you are all welcome 🙂 Message me for the address if you don't have it.

Happy Christmas to those who celebrate it 🎄

After a ridiculous amount of running around we are all ready for Christmas. I am really looking forward to having a properly relaxing day tomorrow.

I hope your day is good too 😊
