Lapsed maker/engineer. I have old 3D printers back to the Cupcake, and an industrial robot arm, but I only turn them once a year - if ever. 🙄

@nav @SonOfSunTzu Andrews & Arnold doesn't just pontificate about this.

We provide broadband, free of charge, to a lot of Hack/Makerspaces. It's a small way we can help.

@SonOfSunTzu @bloor This is why hackspaces, mens sheds and similar are important!

Should we ban cars, or playgrounds?

“Think of the children”

As a teenager I was intensely isolated from my peers. I had been removed from education by a parent and, along with my siblings, spent all my time at home. I had little in the way of homeschooling.

The internet, and in particular social mediums, ended up giving me a lifeline. It was my connection to the outside world and gave me a way to socialise, as well as signpost me to subjects I could then look up and learn.

Home Assistant automation modes: why the default isn’t your friend.

The default mode is “single”. It is safe, conservative, and backwards-compatible.

It also drops new triggers while the automation is still running.

So if you never picked a mode, you may have been relying on the wrong behavior all along.

Learn how to pick the mode you actually need: Single, restart, queued, or parallel. 🙂

These results are why getting dating advice from Gen X-ers (I assume the primary Mastodon userbase) is like getting housing advice from boomers.

We’ve burned 100kWh of gas heating the house in the last week, the second week of June! 😳

What next for Coventry Airport as site closes for good after Take That flight

The airport opened 90 years ago and is permanently closing on June 11, with some believing the intended replacement is a waste of time that'll never come to fruition

@jonny There's a species of ape that digs up sand and puts lightning through it so that it can produce writing and the apes then believe everything the sand says.

I have slept so well that I am hopeful in a world not built to sustain my hope.

Gonna have a coffee and head out into the world make this everyone else’s problem.
