IT dude in #Perth #WesternAustralia reporting in.

July 2023: May be quiet for a couple of weeks while I see what this BlueSky thing is all about https://bsky.app/profile/numbat.social

See pinned post for #intro

Got 2 Bluesky invite codes going if anyone wants to see some different train-wrecks of emotional over-socialisation or whatever

Quokka,

@flux Ta. I can't keep up with what platform all the cool kids are using anyway

Quokka,

@Ruebennase here you go bsky-social-e3rcg-gqgwh

New friend of mine got interviewed this morning about the state of WA housing industry if you're interested.

TransPerth bus 3985 smells of brand new-ness and now has a happy little (if wonky) extra passenger

Not sure when it changed as I've tried to do this before, but seems in Australia we can now have VOIP numbers receive SMS. So I've been busily changing any of my two factor authentication providers that still use SMS to a new VOIP number to avoid any possible SIM-swap attacks. Not that I'm a high target or anything.

Maybe time for a housebuild update then. This is how far fuckwit builder got. Nothing has happened on site for over a year now.

Quokka,

@Triskerslake Cheers. What's nice is that every builder we speak to knows what's happened and is doing us good deals

Quokka, to random

Yay. Insurance settlement from my fuckwit housebuilder should be in my account in next couple of days! Can then find someone who will do actual building!

andrew, to beer

Having a couple of beers at the newly renovated Blasta Burswood.

Glass of Rampant Raspberry beer from Blasta Burswood

Quokka, (edited ) to random

Met @Quokka

Quokka mama and BB

Quokka,

@mof_sg good work!

Quokka, to infosec

Just got the bus home. The guy in front of me got his laptop out. Odd for this route. Long story short, he's an Accenture contractor working in Rio Tinto and really didn't seem to mind me seeing spreadsheets with details of much of their networking equipment, PuTTY sessions, usernames, emails, project names etc. Might dob him in

Quokka,

@davidmarsh Thinking about it, I'm not sure if I should rank security breaches on buses above my two colleagues who got on the bus after me a while back, didn't see me and spend nearly the whole journey pashing.

If State Daddy was still in charge the Commonwealth Games would be Perth's by now. Admittedly, only WA could afford the $7billion price tag.

Quokka,

@skribe could build a velodrome around the Swinging Pig

Quokka,

@Ex_spurt @skribe I'd get solidly behind an Aussie Backyard Games like that.
"Here comes Davo. He's had a big week, but it's Friday arvo, he's knocked off early, downed a shit tonne of Emu Export and durries and is now warmed up for the "How far can you throw a sausage" contest (sponsored by Bunnings)

Quokka,

@Whirlybird @Mountaineer I am similarly not decided. If it helps, these are the official pamphlets

Anyone want a BlueSky invite?

Edit: Gone

Quokka,

@piper Basically, yes. Seeing what's going on there. Short version: very beta, more shitposty, less dry, no Edit button

Quokka,

@teddyc LOL yeah. On there. Signed-in, first thing it gave me was a post from some celebrity news site about how Ricky Martin is getting divorced. Honestly, I could be on the internet for hours and still not find something I cared less about.
That was it. Not been in there since.

Quokka,

@piper Setting up "Feeds" of things you want to follow is far from user-friendly. But powerful. And shareable which is nice. Like people can subscribe to my feed of maruspial mentions if they like. And, very very disappointingly, no GIFs yet.

Quokka,

@feather1952 Yep, don't blame you. Here is nice. Or at least the bits of it I see are nice. Sometimes get greeted with some eye-opening NSFW stuff on the Federated feed which is fun

@Quokka did you decide on a NAS?

Quokka,

@AnnonBudgie Not yet. Looks like the money is going towards getting the snip lol

Quokka, to random

Also, lots going on this week with socials. But remember if all of these burn then we've still got og IRC ftw

Quokka,

@AnnonBudgie it's an elegant chat, for a more civilized age.
There's a health chat support iRC server I frequent. Always nice. And when it's on the screen at work looking like a terminal the youngbloods think it's just work shit scrolling past
