Watched "All Quiet on the Western Front" on NETFLIX at the weekend. Brilliant version IMO although I was surprised [Kemmerich's] boots were left out.

The wife has a basket of sweets by the front door, ready for the #halloween #trickortreat There is no longer any kids in our street, so unless some urchins from over the road show up, it looks like I'm munching through small bags of Haribo later.

So my car passed its MOT Saturday with no advisories. Driving along a few moments ago, and the goddam engine light has come on! #ShakesFist
Will everyone stop telling porky pies and making out I'm ever so slightly over the weight threshold for my age and height? #ShakesFist

So your broadband comes into your building to a router. It's that router that lets you on the Internet. If you have VOIP phones, they also need an internet connection to work.

Aha! The image library was no longer working after upgrading my #Friendia instance. The fix is, wait for it, switch themes from vier to, in my case, Frio. TBH, I like it. I wish I had better emoji, though. Does anyone know how to get custom ones installed?

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. ๐

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? ๐ค

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? ๐ต๏ธ ๐คฃ

So I have no idea where the news outlets get their information from, but I've just been to dinner at https://www.millerandcarter.co.uk/restaurants/east-and-west-midlands/millerandcartercannock#/, and the place is rammed!
So much for having to decide between eating and heating.

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.
Anyone want a Sysadmin job?

if all of the ice on Greenland melts then yes. Then you take the ferry to Denmark no land based border anymore
I already have an owl which that gobbit @Tig says looks like a penguin. The wife is gonna rip his plums off when she sees him.
I think I remember a photo of it and it was clearly a penguin badly disguised as an owl. ๐ง -> ๐ฆ @srednivashtar @theru
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.

I did that once. In my defense, they didn't have "hamburger" on the menu.
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.
Iโd be all like โwho the hell is Pete and why do people keep ringing my phone and asking for him????โ
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.
Right, stop ya moaning! ASDA weekly shop. ยฃ22.00!

Brings back memories of the Kwik Save โNo Frillsโ brand; plain white packaging with โNo Frillsโ in black stencil.
Just claimed $0.01 (Curation?) reward #hive
Of course, no sympathy, so it's not worth saying anything.

How dare you quote back at me the very same attitude I present to folk who say, "Just found 2p in the road." ๐คฃ
Send me the $0.01 if you donโt want it.
Iโll tally it up with all the 1p and 2p coins Iโve found ๐

You can tell it's nearly back to school time. The #BBC has started its annual "Parents can't afford uniforms" reporting.
