There's one downside to fixing the timeout to the mailserver. There is now a queue of emails in postfix dropping into my mailbox every few minutes. 😟

Running your own Federated Instance doesn't mean you are "Cut Off" from Social Media; it means you are in control of your own data and your real personality. I'm hardly likely to ban myself, am I? 🤔

The UK needs to get back on its feet. Rishi knows he needs to form a robust and assertive government; if that means members that are right of the party, so be it.

Netflix suggested I watch The Courier last night. Pretty good film, TBF.

The weird part is I'm actually reading Abyss The Cuban Missile Crisis 1962 at the moment.

Is that coincidence, or is something or someone watching me? 🕵️ 🤣

So I have no idea where the news outlets get their information from, but I've just been to dinner at millerandcarter.co.uk/restaura… and the place is rammed!

For the love of The Pond Gods!

Dear Unison Sync
It's all very well saying "add preference "dontchmod"" when using the GUI.
I had to figure out that you meant the [hidden] .prf file in .unison and then look at lots of search results to find out the actual format was: dontchmod=true after breaking it several times with the wrong syntax.

Why is there not an option in the GUI to perform that task?

I am glad I am at work today. The hallway of #CastleCannon is being screeded and cannot be walked on for four hours. This means the wife is confined to the front room and kitchen till around one thirty today.

Totally gobsmacked at the amount of dust produced simply from taking up [Large] ceramic floor tiles in the hallway of #CastleCannon
Lady Cannon is not a happy bunny with me, and it would seem saying: "But hold on, it was you that wanted to take the floor up!" was probably not the wisest defence strategy.

My GP's Surgery is spamming me. I just had a text message to say I am in the category for FREE COVID and Flu jabs and that they will be sending me a text in a couple of weeks' time to invite me along for a stabbing.

Wouldn't one text be sufficient?

I've had to revert back to horizontal desktops because Gnome 42.2 hates the Vertical Overview extension. Was having to Ctrl+Alt+F3 then Ctrl+Alt+F2 because the screen lock kept freezing then all the apps icons disappeared.
Ubuntu 22.04.1 LTS is a lot happier now. :-(

When someone you haven't spoken to for probably twenty years phones you up: "Hi Pete, remember me? I've got some work you might be interested in quoting for." I'm ALWAYS interested in quoting for work.

Our phone number must be on a list doing the rounds in India. We keep getting different people calling asking to speak to one of our customers whose website we, in fact, host, so it kinda shoots them in the foot when they ask: "Can I speak to Mr Mark S.... please?" straight away we know who they are.

You know, I genuinely love @Grammarly and personally, I think it's well worth the money. Still, it's marginally crap regarding Twitter et al. because the AI doesn't understand you're effectively having a conversation on social media. So it has poor points of reference.

Little do they know, but I listened to the opening few minutes of @thebugcast last Friday and I have to say it must have been a very old recording because Dave and Caroline sounded waaay too young.
