Since last update of @tailscale on Android (11), it shows as connected with exit node enabled and yet the VPN is not actually working. Cannot reach any other nodes and all traffic is going through ISPs IPs, not the exit node as the app says.

Joined beta program, the app kept crashing. Uninstalled and reinstalled the beta version, same issue as before: claims to be enabled, does nothing.

Sigh.

(Many moons ago, I had a python interpreter hooked into my mailbox on a *nix server - was fun to send an SMS from a dumb phone, which would be forwarded via an email gateway and receive the output back as SMS in seconds)

Sunny morning after many days!

The rain did pause after half an hour, rode out in full rain gear to discover the next hill was sunny and dry, no rain at all!

Sweltered in the multiple layers until halfway to town (~30 minutes) and then it got overcast and started drizzling again.

On the way back i enjoyed a beautiful misty evening. Bummer that I thought it's going to be raining throughout and didn't carry my action camera ๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™‚๏ธ

The benefit of live A/B testing and continuous integration and deployment seeping into every team is that on any given day you as the user will encounter software that's broken in novel ways, and you'll never get good at any user interface. Tools that you depend on to get shit done keep shapeshifting? Praise the A/B CI/CD baby!

When you're not sure what you're experiencing is mid life crisis or midwife crisis ๐Ÿ˜ฌ New baby cow didn't have milk for several hours, finally fed her mum's milk with a bottle.

She loves to cuddle already, and dozed off on my lap. Now indoors because it's getting cold with the evening.

Strange.

My laptop running FreeBSD 14.0-R-p6 locked up during resume - it's been years since I had this issue. Power cycled it, and now my wireless device won't show up. I think I'm too tired to debug now, will look at it in the morning. Bummer though, hope it's not a hardware failure due to resetting the laptop while the wireless device was being initialised.

@vermaden removed laptop battery, waited 10 minutes, put it back. wlan0 is back! Thank you :D

(Follow up edit: suspended again, resumed okay, but the wifi device keeps disconnecting and reconnecting, a reboot later it has again vanished. I'm suspecting this is hardware failure)

@harshad @vermaden if thereโ€™s a separate WiFi card inside, try reseating it, cleaning contacts. Could be a thermal issue if it worked after cooling down?

I use a fork of Mastodon client in Android and it seems upstream has brought in contemporary UI expertise from the industry to make things harder. (Haven't verified, so keep that bowl of salt handy)

Saving an image/video was one tap when media was open, now it's a click, a swipe and another click away.

Progress!

@harshad I'm using moshidon and it's so difficult now, I haven't actually found the save option yet.

Edit: found it!!

Ha! When you pause a conference talk you were listening to, come back a while later, hit play and the speaker goes "Got interrupted there, back now" and continues speaking ๐Ÿ‘€

I like to imagine an older me cherishing these motorcycle riding videos, hopefully glad I spent the money and effort to make them. That guy is my primary audience ๐Ÿ˜ฌ, but if anyone else gets something out of them, even better!

@Deus hehe, I'm learning, grew up with cats so have basic training, but with so many, there's always rough edges. There are days when I'm too overwhelmed by the responsibilities, but that's I suppose the real learning: to take care of them regardless.

And cuteness has nothing to do with it, as I've come to understand, spend the effort to earn their trust - that's where the magic happens. With half/feral cats it's more work because they don't depend on you.

@harshad> And cuteness has nothing to do with it

I understand. Just added it for the sake of it.

She's cute in her own way - very nagging, rubs her neck across my table or bedside with a 'meouw' for attention and so on. If I deliberately don't notice, will come closer and rub her standing tail on my thighs, which at times scares me to death when she does it after entering the house unannounced ๐Ÿ˜‚

Hydroponics is the bitcoin of agriculture.

It's a science experiment to grow plants on life support, everyone interested should try it, but it's not how we'll feed the world. The energy, maintenance and expertise costs will remain not worth it until life support is the only way left to grow plants.

We're still far from that, and, growing plants and trees in the ground will nudge the chance of worsening climate further away.

@harshad a lot of modern intensive agriculture is essentially hydroponics in the soil as thereโ€™s so little life left in the soil it needs a constant supply of artificial nutrients to function

@wormerama @harshad I saw some modern agriculture described as:

"A solar powered chemical factory"

Thats maybe generous given the quantity of fossil fuel and fossil fuel derived products used
