If your feline has many sites open in their browser, they are probably a tabby cat.
@neil Well, it *can*, perhaps it *may* not?

Well, a very domestic day:

Finished the Node-RED Geofence flow.

Removed Postfix, Dovecot etc. on old server now I am using Mailcow.

Installed msmtp & made sure all system messages were still sent to me.

Finished configuring the reverse proxy on new main server to point to some test sites on the old server and redid all the Apache config files & certs.

Hacked back into a Joomla site where I'd updated the password ages ago and didn't save it (did a direct update in the user database table)

You really have to work at it to make an input form this user hostile. I could not make it accept even my dumbed-down text.

Maybe support doesn't want anyone to contact them (aha - neat trick)!? Oh, and there was no "Chat function" that I could see.

Geo tracking and geo fencing in Node-RED with a map page available on the LAN or via VPN through a reverse proxy. The flow supports output triggers for me (or any other tracked entity) entering or leaving a defined geo fenced area. Oh, I've injected synthetic test data - I am not really standing on the top of the O2 Arena!

I found this really cool FOSS Android app to use to send in the tracking data via secure API: https://colota.app/

Didn't need the I/O and had the shelf space so bought an HP Prodesk SFF on eBay: 6th Gen i5, 8GB RAM, 256GB SSD. Happily running Debian. £43.00

Why did the manager often have trouble locating the office printer?

He had poor peripheral vision.

There is also a Lower Dicker.
I went to some tech event in London, and this chap walked around the perimeter of the room with a Psion Organiser, then connected it to a PC and it drew the room outline in a CAD program. The idea was to save time physically measuring with a tape. Not sure whether he was using a DIY ultrasonic attachment or some walking method. It seemed very clever at the time.
