Volume wheel on my headphones was causing audio to cut out. I was ready to take it apart and clean it with contact cleaner until I saw someone on a forum 12 years ago said to move the wheel back and forth rapidly... And it worked. That was a far more effective solution than I expected.

Would really love to see Home Assistant/Nabu Casa come out with more hardware in addition to their smart home hubs (even better if it is open source hardware). Maybe a small voice assistant speaker?

Finally decided to learn rust... Any tips or warnings before I really start?

So #GeorgeGalloway has won the #Rochdale by-election;

Galloway said on winning:

'Keir Starmer, this is for Gaza... You have paid & you will pay a high price for the role you have played . . . covering for the catastrophe presently going on in occupied Palestine'!

The Q.is: is this a localised shift, or a sign that #KeirStarmer's stance on this & a range of other issues close to the hearts of 'traditional' Labour voters may lead then to sit on their hands or vote for others in the #election

Is anyone else having issues with Cura 5.6.0 inconsistently failing to slice? It will fail repeatedly and then suddenly succeed with the same parameters that it failed on before.

Really enjoying using Ondsel at the moment. Excited to see more progress with Ondsel and FreeCAD!

Ah it's going to be one of those days... Just found a hidden camera recording us in the office at work.

Lots of family stuff this morning, just saw the news @Raspberry_Pi is planning on an IPO.

Disappointed, but not unexpected.

Things that could make a "comeback" in 2024:

• #RSS feeds
• Web forums
• Blog Comments
• #Blogs
• Smaller, niche communities

vs social networks, companies owning your own content, Slack, Twitch and Discord. 🤔

I just spent way too long photoshopping up a diagram for the 1 bit computer...

BUT IT WAS FUN!

Exciting progress towards sustainable and effective protein production at home.

Why is Firefox so utterly useless at playing video?

An article that tells you how much faith "techno-optimists" ACTUALLY have in society and where it's heading.

"New Zealand, considered by some to be the ideal place to wait out an apocalyptic event, is now riddled with bunkers for the tech elite. Recently reinstalled #OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has an arrangement with Peter Thiel, first revealed to The New Yorker, where the pair will take a jet to one of Thiel’s New Zealand properties in the case of an #apocalyptic event.

For anyone interested in biology, climate change, and decarbonising our food production take a look at https://amybo.org/

Great video by Dr Adam Levy (ClimateAdam) looking at the problems with carbon capture (but also looking at the cases in which it is useful and needed):

I was unable to post on Instagram this morning because I have a link in my account to mas.to (my mastodon instance). No idea which one of these Meta is accusing mas.to of, but this is why you should not trust Meta or federate with anything they build. If they get to be the largest Mastodon server, then they can start dictating their regressive content moderation policies on the rest of the fediverse. I stand with my admin @trumpet and their decision to preemptively block any Meta instances.

Seeing internships requiring a PhD or 3+ years of experience doesn't fill me with confidence... This job search really is harder than I expected.

Sigh.

Linux is still giving me the constant random stutter / freezing issue.

So frustrating because Windows simply doesn't have it.
