Got a survey call today. It’s the first in a long time becausebmy phone usually filters them for me.
I’ve received some weird emails recently too. I bet it was that damn property expo I registered for

Got your back on this no matter what happens

There’s Keepas as well that’s meant to be the FOSS alternative. I might go with that or bitwarden when I habe my selfhosted setup and can sync between devices

In that episode the pufferfish got eaten, but it was by a whaleshark

At least LastPass asks you if you want to update your password after you’ve changed it.
I’m using 1password and much prefer it. But it asks when the password is generated. What if the password field has a bunch of rules I need to follow and have to make edits after?

You guys said Octonauts was good but they referred to a pufferfish as poisonous instead of venomous

Let me try one, then I’ll decide

Who cares about all that training stuff, I think you mean Bad Boys and there are FOUR of them now.
Don’t you know Will Smith got cheated on and it inspired him to become the greatest actor of all time?

I have a business idea for anyone that wants to take it. I noticed Red Hat have a partner page, and their aren’t a lot of Australian based companies on there. LibreOffice also has a page about LibreOffice enterprise and LibreOffice in the cloud.
Go through the certifications and you could have your own consultancy that sets up Linux and LibreOffice for businesses.
It’s not a guaranteed money maker and you’d need to offer other services, but it’s nice to know there’s an option to get people off Windows. There might be demand for it with concerns around recall and the demands of Windows 11.
Do with this what you want, I don’t have the time, skills, or network to make this viable myself.

You can get a torrent search plugin for qbittorrent so you can download straight from the program and skip the need to go to the sites at all

The dinner part is a stretch for me. I could see people doing this, when they’re still in primary school

The Coles app sucks, and so do the apps of all their other brands. Woolworths is better but someone needs to optimise their queries because search is slow as hell

I think the T. Rex exhibit has cured my son’s fear of dinosaurs. We showed him a mask from the Jurassic Park TV show today and he loved it.

All the petrol stations on Plenty road are the same price from the ring road out to Mernda, regardless of company. Then the first petrol station south of the ring road is 15-20c cheaper. Very interesting

I think that’s how Slack and Atlassian got so many logos for their websites. Look through the free tier for recognisable brands and download the press kit

He handled things well, I’m proud of him. There was even a booth that played animal sounds quite loudly. My other boy was happily pressing the buttons for the animals to sound and he got a little cautious but held it together.
The T. Rex exhibition is great too. They have the real skull in a display where it’s easier to see and a cast of it with the rest of the skeleton. I hadn’t seen the triceratops yet either so we checked that out as well. The triceratops skeleton was black so it reminded me of The Devil Put Dinosaurs Here by Alice in Chains

It’s the grand opening of the new dinosaur exhibition at the museum this weekend.
One of my boys is a bit scared of dinosaurs but we’ll check it out anyway. He can join the dino dance at the end if he needs to get away from things

It worked! But I must have done something in the incantation differently because my phone didn’t ring until AFTER the shower and I was mostly dressed

About to perform the phonecalls summoning ritual called a ‘shower’.
If performed correctly, your phone will ring right in the middle of it when you’re washing your hair

Watched some of The Piano Teacher last night. I remember catching a scene from it on SBS years ago and I always wondered what the movie was.
There should be Steam life achievements for figuring out things like this

I’ll just try to finish off my wishlist. I’m terrible at actually buying games.
I get an email that a game I wishlisted is on sale and I just go, ‘that’s great, good for them’ and never actually buy it

Sometimes you see a nice job and start imagining your life if you got it. I saw a nice communications job that could be based in the Morewell/Moe area. It would be nice to live in a small town with no commute and a cushy corporate job, but you can’t get too carried away with these things.
I’ve been fucked over by the job hunt in almost every way imaginable so I don’t believe I have a job until I receive the first paycheck

It does tend to lose connection after it goes to sleep so that could be part of it. I’ll try Fedora if I’m still having problems as well because I’m running it on my laptop and really like it.
This laptop is so old windows stopped supporting the wifi drivers years ago. I’m lucky it can connect to the internet at all
- Comment on Daily Discussion Thread: 🎼 Thursday, June 27, 2024 5 days ago:
I think I’ll give this a proper go. This laptop is from the age where you could actually pull them apart and upgrade the RAM so it’s possible to get into the internals a bit.
I’ll get some good PC cleaner because the spacebar and left SHIFT also stick when you press them, giving no feedback if the computer has registered the input

That is a good deal and I have considered it. This laptop has a bit of sentimental value because it looks really nice and I used it through uni and my first jobs. I’ll go down this path if the need to update is more urgent

Dongle could be an option as long as it’s one of those small flat ones like a logitech receiver.
The laptop is on the other side of the room to the server cabinet and the fewer cables plugged into this laptop the better. I do bring it over to the dining table and plug it into the ethernet for a stable connection when I’m doing troubleshooting.
No internet at times could be a good thing. It has enough access for updates and downloading new software, then it cuts out so no chance of rogue browsing

I remember all the older shows and they have the bias of me watching them when I was a kid. I want to sift through the Netflix CGI rubbish and find stuff I could tolerate having on in the loungeroom during a workday

That’s the boxer motor with two head gaskets for ya. But it’ll be a good car, not point getting something so nice and not looking after it

That’s the way to do it. I just apply and move on, it probably looks bad when I do get a call because I can’t remember the place or the position because it was all so long ago in jobseeker time
