@danhon I had to collect my computer login details from my pigeon hole on my first day on campus (in the UK).

@alphasixtyfive @revk it suggested I subscribe for a monthly delivery of a cat litter tray.

Not the litter. Just the tray.

Adding to the confusion, Zoho makes a distinction between a Passkey and a Security Key.

I am fairly sure that 97% of the issues with using Passkeys, hardware keys, and webauthn is caused by really really really bad UI.

It gets worse...

You can use a hardware security key for MFA but not for passwordless sign-in.

You can use a device passkey for passwordless sign-in but not for MFA.

Had to cut the grass. Now I feel like crap. This started happening a couple years ago and I don't understand why. I think it's some unholy combination of sun, motion sickness, vibrations, and noise (even through the hearing protection). I dunno. Luckily the oldest kid likes to cut the grass most of the time. (Unfortunately I decided I'd be fine doing it this time... but.. nope.)

@bigzaphod No Mow May?

More seriously, could it be dehydration?

I think it’s great that @BBCNews are on Mastodon... but they repeat themselves far too much. I see them posting the same stories over and over again, and often throw 20+ posts into my timeline in a big batch.

I am going to have to unfollow.

On the plus side, it's nowhere near as bad as the BBC's concept of what is breaking news.

The problem with the Tory slogan "stop the boats” is that it sounds very similar to "stop the votes”.

I'm not saying their supporters are hard of hearing…

@yesterzine not seen the Max ones yet. Emma found bags of the Doritos and Wotsits in Spar. What I need is something in between the Flamin Hot and the Extra Flamin Hot.

@yesterzine I think that's a request to join their theatre production.

Well that was fun. One of my sticks of Corsair Vengeance DDR4 just nuked itself on stream.

Good job I speak BIOS beep. Now limping along on a single stick.

What DDR4 are the non-cool kids buying these days?

(EDIT: I'm running an AMD Ryzen 7 3800X on a Prime X570-P for reference)

(Because the cool kids mostly prefer shiny to good)

@garius I've always been a fan of Crucial ram.

I tried Corsair Vengence in my work laptop and it just didn't work. Wouldn't boot. Switched to Crucial and it was fine.

For many years whenever Americans said “Graham Crackers” I thought they were talking about a type of flour. "Gram Crackers”.

After all that, my plan to stop my bike lock from rattling by using heat shrink tubing didn't work.

I now have 6.95cm of 14mm heat shrink tubing to use up.

It might be a bit silly to stand in the middle of a dual carriageway to take a photo, but in this instance I am on The Road To Nowhere just south of Yate.
