Just realised, it's been a couple of weeks and I haven't run "Hugo's Random Benchmark" on this M3 MacBook Pro yet!

2.6s - not bad. Can you do better?

Good morning 🌅
I added some items of flare to my laptop bag. Need more pins I think. As I am unlikely to put stickers on my new work laptop.

@popey what is the motorcycle text from?

Well, that fucking sucks. I just went into my o3 meeting with the boss and was told that I don't have a job anymore. If anybody is looking for an experienced / / dev in the area (or remote), let me know.

@joe passing this info on to my employer - siftware.com . Seems a shame to put talent to waste.

I deeply regret buying a laptop for Linux with a hidpi screen. With two external 1080p screens, the scaling is all over the place and barely usable. Dangerously close to getting rid of the laptop and replacing it with a 1080p display one.

@popey The only way I get around this is to run the laptop at 1080p and do away with scaling. Not ideal, but cheaper than replacing the laptop :(

@popey Does it struggle getting onto the rug from the hard floor?

We have a cleaner once a fortnight, but now I'm seriously considering getting a robot to keep the in between times under control.

Went into the loft to get the Christmas decorations. Stumbled on this old thing. No idea if it all works. I guess that’s my Sunday sorted.

@popey ever tempted to recap?

Trying out one of those Tesla charger things on my Mini. I feel dirty 😂

@popey are all Tesla super chargers across the country now usable by non Tesla cars, or did you get lucky?

@alex @popey indeed. Hence my asking if it was country wide yet, or if he was just in the right place

Couples of Mastodon! How do you handle emails for "joint" things?

Like utility bills, hotel reservations, and other domestic accounts.

Turned up to the Gridserve chargers at Clacket Lane services on the M25 late this evening. Stupid charger wouldn’t accept my payment. Called up gridserve and they remotely rebooted the charger (which produced fun Linux kernel messages - hello qtwebbrowserkiosk), and then they remotely enabled the charger, free of cost! Nice!

@popey I tried to use their live chat once via my phone web browser. They said they would set the charger to free vend, but then the chat session went away.
Future me will remember to phone directly.

@bigcalm@mendeddrum.org avatar

@popey The one time I needed to talk to somebody was when there was only a charging post with very little information on it. I shall add their number to speed dial ;)

@alex @lopta @popey I wonder if. Chademo could be converted to ccs. Maybe not worth it. That said, some go so far as to replace the batteries in their old leafs.

Bah! For the last couple of days my personal blog has been getting absolutely hammered by someone having deep-linked to an image (a gif) from https://rssing.com
I made the file 403, but it it's still hammering the site constantly for 3 days.
My server serves about 1Mb/s normally, with this it's nearer 55Mb/s.
