Don't let others influence you.
Don't let others bully you.
Don't fall for the lies that this is about Government; IT'S NOT!

Vote for who you think cares about where you live, not who runs the country.

So tempted to buy this. I'm surrounded by sheep.

Seeing LOTS of people reactivate their Fediverse (Mastodon, Frendica, PLeroma) accounts last night and this morning, maybe even one or two will migrate to #Hive? Not sure why everyone is jumping ship. TBH, Twitter already has your personal profile and preferences, and so what if he invites Trump et al. back? There are already more dangerous freaks on Twitter anyway!

Ha!

Great! I place my order with @argon_forty for their EON NAS Drive enclosure and then two days later PiHut lists it. #LeSigh #raspberrypi
Still, I think there's only a three or four quid difference.

If only I had a podcast?
This is an interesting story https://www.theregister.com/2022/04/20/valuelicensing_microsoft_court/
I'm sure something is missing from this report though? While ValueLicensing is missing out on potentially buying old licences to resell, I would have thought it was more beneficial for customers to surrender those licenses in return for a discount on M365? Indeed, eventually, ValueLicensing will run out of licenses to sell anyway? Maybe that's why they're suing?

If only Mandrake Linux could be resurrected. Personally, I think they lost their way when it morphed into Mandriva.

So my QNAP TS-251B is fixed. Not quite sure how tbh. I read a write-up that walked you through a reset but advised that it would wipe the drives. Luckily, I could still access the NAS from the cloud so downloaded all the important stuff. anyway, I bit the bullet and pressed reset and the voice said "Advanced Reset started" after a reboot, the NAS was back and so was my content
Had to re-implement my personal configuration such as fixed IP etc but well chuffed it didn't wipe the drives.

If only Brighton beach wasn't so bloody cold this time of year.

Never mind all these schemes for loft and cavity wall installation most of which are a scam anyway. The government should pay for every house in the UK to have solar panels fitted and make it law that new builds must have solar panel roofs. They never will because the energy industry will resist it as it will eat into their profits.

WTF? Is this some sort of Banksy/Warhol prank?

Wondering how many contractors are queuing up for rebuilding contracts in Ukraine?

Emily Davison didn't chuck herself under a horse so that you lazy feckers could sit on your arse and say: "What's the point of voting?" Get it sorted! Go and vote! You can spare 5 minutes of your day.

Local elections in the United Kingdom will be held on 5 May 2022

Took Charlie to the park this morning. Fairly cold, -1C but enjoyed meeting the fellow dog walkers until we were nearly on our way out of the park and a woman I've not seen for a while said: "Have you retired now?"

Do I look that old?

I might start quoting in Guineas.

Friday night, I fancied a beer. "I know; I have a bottle sitting in the cupboard." I poured out the "Old speckled dog bollock", or whatever it was called and then thought: "Hmm? It's been there a while?" Too right! "Best before Jan 2020!" I bet I bought it in 2018.

Saturday night: I'll have me a Margarita. "Best before Feb 2021"
Thank The Pond Gods my Bushmills is OK.

I am on to a winner today. I definitely know the wife is at the hairdresser's; therefore, for once, as a man, know to walk in the door and say: "Ooh, your hair looks nice." which means brownie points for me unless she hates her hair and then I'm deep in the doggy doo doo. 😟

I have very dry lips today for some reason?

FFS! It sounds like a mule eating pellets out of a nose bag. What are you eating?

Is there some sort of by-law that says shops in retail parks cannot open until mid-morning on a Saturday!? If you don't want to push people online, I suggest retailers open at 9 am, oh, and Currys PC World; I recommend you get rid of the Brand Name assistants who can only help you with their brand.

That moment you enter a room and you mention out loud a task to be done and a member of staff leaps out their chair full of excuses why they can't do it and then the director overhears and tells them to do it to which they start f'ing and jeffing all over the place.

Praying to The Pond Gods that #FOSDEM 2023 is a physical event. 🙏

I'm thinking of setting up an email address of DevNull@ymydomain.co.uk for all those sales calls with "Can I get an email address?" in them.

Hang on? I work in sales!

The females at #CastleCannon have started watching Game of Thrones again from the beginning. I now have that damn theme tune in my head.
