Computer whisperer, utility cyclist, electronics, microcontrollers, photography, self-hosting, Hackney, London, UK.

Car culture is the narrative that there is no alternative to filling streets with cars.

Tring-tring not ding-ding.

I make my own wine, beer, mead, cider & blaand, sometimes I post about it.

I make videos of some of my cycling adventures, they are often local to east & south-east London.

@Daojoan I see it as, we gave scammers access to stupid people.

80 years ago, the UN General Assembly started with a dream: to maintain peace and security in the world.

The good?
Eight decades without World War III.

Where do we stand today?
It’s complicated.

But in a world of 8 billion people, it’s the only room where everyone gets a seat.

80 years ago, we chose dialogue over force.
Today, we must choose it again.

@wishy @pwaring Hackney also does this and has online renewal.
Isn't it boring working in IT?
Well, I like that it has a cultural history, not many jobs come with that. A recent example I dug up is Network Working Group RFC2100 from 1st April 1997, it's in the form of a funny poem and deals with the indecision faced by IT admins when naming computers. https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc2100.html

@1br0wn Technically unenforceable, but financially very enforceable.

Good to see reporting on cycling without the negativity you find in the UK.

Setting up a new TV for my mum, wondering again why *everything* has to be such bullshit these days.

No, I don't want the TV to monitor my voice.

No, I don't want the TV to monitor my viewing habits.

No, I don't want to create an account with the TV manufacturer.

No, I don't want motion smoothing or AI noise reduction or whatever it is that's making the folks in the background of this RTE news report look like a gouache painting.

I JUST want a television ffs.

@osnews especially odd as Windows 10 LTSC has support until 2029.
