@scruss @ukscone I do like a bit of Cheshire, but then again, I grew up in Cheshire so I think you have to

I do also like a nice piece of Stilton, although I won't turn down a bit of Wensleydale either...

@adr @metacat young doctors notebook - not a movie, but thoroughly enjoyed

The National Film Board of Canada (NFB / ONF) has shut down its #library and layed-off personnel. A petition is circulating to request a reversal of these moves https://www.change.org/p/stop-the-cuts-to-the-nfb-library --> Please sign it and help circulate it. The library was a valuable resource to film-makers, students, historians, and many others.

For years, I'd heard from a librarian there essentially describing being gradually starved of resources. The doublespeak in the news release is really ugly https://www.canada.ca/en/national-film-board/news/2024/04/nfb-modernization-initiative-will-increase-documentary-and-animation-production-budgets.html

@adr I once had a Cogeco tech end a support call with "thanks for calling today, I learned a lot" after I did most of the troubleshooting and he just reenabled things on his end that had been erroneously disabled
@hennichodernich sure - the layout needs fixing, cause I flipped the pinout of the connector, and I was thinking I'd add some DC-DC circuitry so it can be powered via USB-PD, but you're welcome to the layout, and I can probably mail you a spare board if you want, pretty sure I got 5
