    Miniest is on school camp and I’ve never been separated from her overnight before. I feel a bit lost tbh so I’m stretching and folding sourdough bread dough to keep me occupied. It’ll be good for her to have this time to develop as a person, but I miss her so much. She’s one of these little people that seem to fill up life. 🍞🍞🍞

    I’ve tweaked my hamstring 🙁

      I’m sorry your hamster squeaked but they just do that sometimes

      Based on your reviews, I bet there’ll be some interesting finds for op shop book lovers!

    Is it too late to tart part in operation UNKAOS? I just bought a new vacuum and it’s actually working vs my old one which struggled with… everything.

    When pushing hard means winning, peace amd quiet feel like losing. It’s been on my mind lately.

    Goodnight all ❤️

    • SituationCake@aussie.zone ⁨16⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      Interesting. I’ve always felt the opposite. Peace and quiet is winning. Constantly fighting means loosing.

        That had never even crossed my mind. We must come from, and live in very different circumstances.

    I had to stake down the strays paper plates with wooden skewers because of the wind.

    Felt like McGyver lol

      Was windy but I was expecting worse based on the warnings.

    The break room at work smells strongly of garlic, so now I’m craving garlic bread.

    I just saw a bird flying sideways. This could be the basis for a new wind strength scale…

    Picked up the laybuy for the kids’ birthdays and christmas today. On the way out I went through the self serve and the camera picked up the laybuy in my trolley. So it’s good to know that tracking stuff is in use already, if I kept my trolley out of view it wouldn’t have seen the stuff still in there.

    So windy today an orchid plant was blown out of it’s pot!

    source
  • RustyRaven@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

    I had some fermentation flies take up residence in my compost bucket and kitchen, so I made a trap for them which has worked very well. I have a jar of drowned flies and haven’t seen any flying around the kitchen today. The trap is a funnel on top of a glass jar, and the bait is vinegar, sugar and yeast mixed with water.

    source
    • anotherspringchicken@aussie.zone ⁨22⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      I think you’ve just solved the mystery of what flies are in my house! Always thought they were thrips, although they didn’t exactly match. I’ve found a glass with vinegar and a few drops of dishwashing liquid to work pretty well as a trap, too

    Waiting for the crazy weather - I’m getting more wind now but the sun’s out, it’s not too bad outside.

    source
    • SpinMeAround@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

      It’s one of those things everyone seems on edge waiting for it to happen, so it feels like it’ll just fizzle out.

      • Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

        I was looking forward to sitting inside watching the rain. I got rained on as I was walking home then it stopped as soon as I got inside.

    • RustyRaven@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

      Wind’s a bit wild in Ballarat. There is a lot of banging and clanging from mysterious things blowing around, but my fence repair is holding up well so far. No rain, but not much sun either.

  • SpinMeAround@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

    I blame the weather for how ratty this office is today.

    Though I’ve also noticed that I’m also reporting how ratty the office is, so maybe it’s just a ratty office. I’m the self appointed cheerleader though.

      Pain is exhausting. I hope there’s something to give even a little relief

    Why are the new Myki readers so awful? I’d argue them to be worse than even the first-generation readers with a bad read.

    The entire device basically gets locked out on a bad read for about a minute. If your Myki doesn’t read properly, or your phone is acting up, a few retries could lock out a big chunk of the ststion gates.

    source
    • Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

      The whole myki contract from the first machines has been a clusterfuck awarded to the lowest bidder.

      I worked for a place ages ago that had put in a bid for a decent system but the government wanted to save cash.

      source
      • T156@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

        To think we could have almost had the Octopus system Hong Kong uses.

      Hmm the few times I’ve used them they’ve been really quick and easy. I anticipate the barcode/QR camera or card payment for entry are going to be a colossal disaster though.

        They’re nice when they work. Problem is when they don’t.

    Nobody gives me HDs anymore, Wah! No I’m not insomniac and reading old papers for endorphins or some such shite. It didn’t work, but revisiting for matrix fonts is enlightening

    Trying to sort shit out.

    Windows 11 machine is completely full so using a Mac to download the classic Linux Mint and waiting a hundred years for the iso to download so I can sha the damn thing and make a bootable thingy.

    Tried to drag a bunch of files onto a 32gb usb off Windows machine to free space and keep them safe but there’s seriously not enough room so I might get an external drive just for that to have on top of backups.

    Then I have to download everything off Flickr and Dropbox and make sure the last gmails get changed over on any platforms they’re still connected to (or emails they’re recoveries for).

      Yay. Welcome (back?) to the Tux team! I realised how many old photos I still have stored on Facebook the other day. I think un-cloud-ifying is going to be one of my long term projects too. So I look forward to hearing how you go.

        I’m going to have to do it fast because starting from December I’m going to lose access :(

        I’ve tried Linux before but not as my main. This is basically to test out and see if I can switch over for most things because I viscerally hate Windows 11

        Thanks. They’re actually extremely patchy because I’m mostly self taught, I can follow curly tutorials and use the command line with a guide but a lot of the fundamentals have been missed

    Was late with the antibiotics so gave them right after the midnight meds… bubs threw them right back up so I gave her some anti nausea meds and repeated the dose.

    Dealing with a spilled milky drink on the carpet too. -_-

    I wish there was a carpet cleaner that doesn’t absolutely reek of perfume to the point they set off migraines and cause asthma attacks. I use the bacterial enzyme concentrate but that’s more for breaking down biological stuff like pee, and doesn’t do a good job of actually cleaning.
