The Fediverse's control cis guy. Like that exactly-a-kilogram they keep under a glass hood in France.

Can anyone give me pointers as to why embedding PDFs or linking to them or otherwise acknowledging their existence is impossible in Hugo?

docs state that the "root" of your resultant website is /static, and anything in there can be referenced as the root, and they're lying, and I'll set them on fire in front of their families.

So this weekend I was at a wedding and at the reception guests had to make a Lego minifig of themselves which was placed on white Lego mats with a specific plinth to stand on and a name plate. The bride and groom will frame it and have an artwork of minifig representations of the guests at their special day.

Cairns airport staff are so nice. I carry a lot of shit in my carry on and you’ve got no hope of identifying it all on X-ray. At Sydney and Melbourne they insist on removing a thing at a time from the bag then putting the balance through again and again on the hope there’ll be few enough chargers or electronics that they can then ID everything to their satisfaction. The woman in security here just took my camera out to of my bag, with my consent, wearing soft gloves, and then went through my bag explaining why. Quick, efficient, polite, and if there was any connection between security theatre and safety, she’s ticked that box. Five stars.

If the objective is to identify everything in the bag, look in the fucking bag. The idea that it’s less invasive to do it via X-Ray and to insist on doing as much X-Ray as possible is fucking brain worms. Imaging technology changes nothing. Backscatter X-Ray can still see my dick.

Some alcoholic airline regulator boss has decided the difference between privacy invasion and not is whether you go through the passenger’s belongings using a scanner or not. It’s bullshit. It’s like big tech saying the difference between ads being ok or not is whether they’ve gathered enough of your private info to make it likely you care about the advertised product.

I still can’t get over this. A “spangled drongo” sounds like an insult an Australian character in an American TV drama would use where no producer or indeed any of the cast have ever met an Australian.

I don’t want to come across as dramatic or whatever but I would die for this cat.

Vexing over “Cairns formal” men’s attire.

(It’s not a bad vex it’s more how can I look really nice and not, you know, die. Because over 18C is warm for me.)

Apple Watch annoyed me for the last time at least for the next week or so. I think the MP3 player instead of listening to music from my phone is digital detoxing me and the notifications were getting annoying. Old Faithful is back.

Plan: routinely claim the NSW toll rebate and invest the money in Transurban shares. The more they charge and rebate, the more of them I own.

Playing OpenTTD with the "max competitors" set to 0 and "infinite money" on. I call this mode "playing trains."

It has been brought to my attention that Troy Hurtubise was a dude whose life mission was to make a suit of armour that you could fight a bear in. And he videoed the testing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3cDDFIUhrPQ

I got this and put a slather of it on my chicken burger before putting down the top bun half. It contains fried shallots, bits of roasted peanut, sesame seeds, oil, and whatever the fuck is in 12-gauge RIP (round irritant, personnel) rounds. I bit into the burger and immediately started sweating. I now have hiccups, tears are streaming down my face and my moustache is elephant repellent.

I read “proudly Aussie made” and mentally appended “by white people” and sir? SIR?
