kid wants to do an overnight hiking trip. I am perusing the latest in dehydrated meal technology and it looks far superior to the absolute dogshit ADF patrol rations, which in the 90s I thought were haute cuisine.

@jpm dude, after 20yrs carrying shit around on my back I do not carry 1g more than absolutely required.

me, putting up a new side gate: oh cool I'll just use these fixings from the previous gate, they look new.

drills holes in new post to match exactly

oh, these holes in the brick are flogged out and someone had just banged these screws in with a hammer. Never mind, I'll go to my big box of concrete fixings for some new ones.

there are no new ones of the correct size in the box

Off to bunnings if anyone needs anything.

@jpm @devopscats hmm, new MMP shirts?

@jpm @devopscats I've been thinking about joining in on the Thursday fancy dress theme...

@jpm @devopscats no doubt, I will start a file

oh no starlink is down

Kels_316,
@Kels_316@aus.social avatar

@oysta what does it failover to?

Kels_316,
@Kels_316@aus.social avatar

@oysta ah cool. I need to trial a starlink setup for later in the year. Thinking about how to set up failover.

@oysta mobile, going to roof mount it

Kels_316,
@Kels_316@aus.social avatar

@oysta @jpm will no doubt tell me how to do all this.

Kels_316,
@Kels_316@aus.social avatar

@jpm @oysta it will be on my car, so should be fine. People are running them off ciggie plugs.

Kels_316,
@Kels_316@aus.social avatar

@jpm @oysta given I'm hiring the starlink I think it will be easiest just to plug it all into the inverter. This is the reason for a trial though, plus I need the sat comms in Tully.

wife has hired an EV for her parents visit next week, experience tells me she will be the one driving it. This might be the turning point in my quest to shift the family car to electric.

its an ATTO and I know from having used one in Melbs the experience will be a good one. Especially in the Brisbane airport run traffic.

@nickzoic my rough maths shows a massive reduction in running costs vs the Amarok at $2 a litre for fuel.

today I am reading about standardised data message formats and slowly losing the will to live.

They used to teach first aiders to leave a crush injury because removing a crushing force could release trapped body chemistry problems to flow around the body. Now they recommend get the piano off the dude, which always sort of made more sense to me. Continuing to be crushed is worse than any problems stopping it causes.

@geordie @jpm I think this aligns with the reintroduction of tourniquets. Taking the object away without knowing how to apply a TQ might be a big mistake.

we have a painter doing some painting and he just said "I need to clean and paint all the roof screws on the shed, they're all rusty" to which I said "just paint over them mate, I'll replace the screws when you're done" and he looked like that was the first time he'd thought that was an option.

@jpm if I didn't know this dude I would say that was the case, but he's actually a good dude. We used to play pinball.

if you are talking about hardware, firmware and software you should be able to just say "ware"

yesterday I helped my dad pick out and buy an ODBII reader, today I need a fucking OBDII reader. Coincidence? No, this is the universe punishing me.

@jpm @davedave 99% of them are junk. I've bought 3 of them and 2 were useless. You have to hit the forums of the car you need to diagnose and find out what people are using.
