I'm sure this won't go anywhere, but on the off chance that anyone from WP Engine is looking for the #wpengine hashtag because of some kind of current Wordpress community drama, could you please poke someone to fix whatever is behind one of your load balancers serving up a TLS certificate that expired on Feb 28th 2026 please and thank you.
This weekend, I successfully deployed #NixOS onto a spare laptop.
Today, it's broken. Trying to do a rebuild from a slightly updated flake just pegs a CPU at 100% for 20+m until I get bored and `pkill -9 nix`
I _think_ I've narrowed it down to my use of "enterprise grade" Determinate Nix, because I assumed it would be more stable...hopefully the laptop improves once I've got around to taking that out of the flake, rebooting into a previous generation and rebuilding. Good test, I guess.

I'm not a company director anymore, but I signed anyway because I despise stupid, pointless dark patterns that (in a tinfoil hat world) exist purely so that people fuck it up and get penalised.

UK PEOPLE: this is REALLY IMPORTANT. If the government bans under-16s from using VPNs, then logically they must intend to REQUIRE AGE VERIFICATION FOR ALL VPN USE. Which will affect adults too!

Local "just ignore private parking notices, they can't do anything" crew are out in force on Facebook, so I'm ranting on Mastodon so I don't get tempted to reply to every single one of them "yes, they actually can take you to court, try actually reading the paperwork before giving someone bad advice, you tit"
Fesshole 🧻Many of my colleagues' first instinct with any technical query is to ask me before attempting any research. If it's not urgent I'll wait half an hour to reply, to give them time to look for the answer themselves. If they still haven't found the answer after 30m, then I'll help.
I'm sure there are plenty of people in the fediverse who "need" this....myself included

#vivaldi users on #ios 26.1: Can you open the "Settings" page and see any content? And can you use the tab switcher/speed dial or whatever it's called to see a preview of all your open tabs?
Because I cannot, and it's driving me nuts, I've opened bugs weeks ago and heard nothing so I'm going to assume this is something about my phone that no one can reproduce...
Who needs @GossiTheDog when I can get all my JLR updates from a YouTuber whose most notable skills include crashing cars for fun that regular people could never afford. And his sidekick, Ian.
