What an insanely busy weekend I’ve had! Itchen Valley Parkrun with the boys, hanging out with my wife’s family at a different country park and then a Eurovision party yesterday. Romsey Relay Marathon with my wife and the kids most of the day today. I […] [Original post on social.running.cafe]

I moved the drives for my main home server into a new case/motherboard/cpu/ram on Wednesday night. Since then it's done this a few times and crashed (at least it drops of the network and won't respond to the power button to gracefully shut down). Can […] [Original post on social.running.cafe]

Would anyone like a free Brother HL2040 mono laser printer? I’m in southern Hampshire but will be in South Wales in June. It works fine and I’ve used it with the brlaser driver and CUPS for network printing. However it has a (probably fixable) problem […] [Original post on social.running.cafe]

[Peloton/US Politics Rant] I just love that there are people who join Peloton classes and don’t pedal just to show off their MAGA hashtag. What exactly do they think they are achieving? I guess forcing people like me to think about the state of the world when I’m trying to exercise…

I’m pretty pleased with the results of my work on the Fiat over the past few days. I cleaned it with my son yesterday, and it’s far from perfect but I think it looks quite presentable now. 🙂 Other highlights include new gear knob, new plates, new […] [Original post on social.running.cafe]

In my day job, I work for a media company that focuses on the toy industry. Apropos of nothing, I decided to add the Mastodon plushie (aka #Plushtodon) to the latest products on our Toy Insider website. Please boost this so our editors will frustratingly tell me to stop trying to make Mastodon […]

I have hand cramp but not for any fun reasons. I’ve been trying to make the headlight on the crap Fiat vaguely transparent with a drill and a lot of sanding and polishing compound. I ran out of drill battery but think I’ve got most of the way there. (I […] [Original post on social.running.cafe]

The chav plates have been replaced on the crap Fiat. 🎉 They say a lot about the previous owner, who I dislike a little more every day I work on this car.

It’s time for more £300 #Fiat Punto content. 3 broken drill bits, lots of swearing and a burn from a hot drill later I have successfully removed the old completely knackered speakers. Fitting the new Alpine ones will have to wait until tomorrow, when I’m […] [Original post on social.running.cafe]

I very much ran out of dopamine today, so naturally I stayed up to finish my book so I can have even less energy and dopamine tomorrow.

Are there any #zfs #openzfs experts on here who could help me explain what on earth is going on with the disk utilisation of my Minio dataset? I've got ~40GB of data but the dataset is using ~120GB. I have about a month of snapshots which are a most 50MB […] [Original post on social.running.cafe]

Good news! Blue95 Topanga from the WinBlues project is now officially released! Do you want a hi-tech Fedora 42 based distro that looks exactly like Windows 95? Of course you do! https://blues.win/posts/blue95-topanga/ #universalblue #ublue #bluefin #blue95 #fedora

Running Cafe is currently running on battery power and my Wi-Fi is the only WiFi in the street. I currently feel quite smug but let’s hope it comes back on before the battery runs out!

I left Plusnet in 2020 because of their radio silence on IPv6. I’m quite happily on Zen now but good to see more UK ISPs on the way to getting #IPv6. https://mastodon.social/@ispreview/114346388264504143

Today (and late last night) I made my very own Linux distro. Well not really, but also kind of… Are you a Linux nerd that has to run Ubuntu at work because of Intune compliance, but would rather run the latest in cool immutable developer focused Fedora variants? Well then, lucky you, you’re […]

The "new gig" makes heavy use of Amazon CloudWatch. How after this many years is the user experience still SO BAD? You too can enjoy such fan favourites as keeping logs forever by default and metrics in an "ALARM" state with names such as "EC2-MemoryUtilization-low". Screams into the void

The new job is intense but I’m so energised. It’s nice for it to not be an emotional slog to get through the day anymore. However I now have the opposite problem where I can’t switch off and I’m hacking away on personal stuff until after 10pm. I should probably dial it back! The past couple of […]

It seems KLM is having trouble selling flights to the US at the moment. I wonder why… I don’t recall the app ever sending me a notification like this before. They must be desperate.

This weekend I have spent too little time outside in the sun and too much time on a side quest hacking on an unofficial AWS VPN Client which works properly on atomic fedora variants (at least it does now after my hacking). In the short term this means I can actually do my job on Monday. In the […]

It’s my first day at the new job tomorrow. After 4 years at my previous company it feels very strange but I’m glad it’s finally here. The fact I’m at #Kubecon from day two is a little strange but I certainly can’t complain. How else am I suppose to get stickers for my new Framework laptop?

My so lost his PC for bad behaviour so I said he could play Minecraft if he could make it run on a pile of bits. He was very motivated and got there in the end with a little bit of help. I will turn him into a tech nerd eventually, he definitely has the inclination.
