  Sleep … I cannot remember the last time I had eight hours uninterrupted. Last night I managed 5.5 hours in three shifts. That was an improvement on the night before.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why people's smiles turn upside down with age?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  After a while you have seen it all and it takes extra energy to find the funny. Finding the funny is harder when you sleep poorly and your body ages.

  That said, finding the funny is absolutely worth every effort, it’s just that sometimes it’s hard work.

  I was lead to believe that this bullshit was limited to the country where the Orange Fascist is in charge.

  Not so.

  This screenshot was just taken by me in Australia.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Spotting with the Fediverse?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I’d start with a mastodon hashtag and just manually spot. If it gets popular, you can connect a bot account that gets data from wherever you want.

  An alternative is to publish an RSS feed for your station.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Not the Toll Roads Notification of Toll Evasion!!⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  At one time I received an unexpected email from a shipping company that turned out to be legitimate, despite it having several red flags and being marked as spam by my email provider.

  The point being, investigate and confirm before either condemning a message to the bitbucket or paying.

  For example, if I received such a message, it would be ignored because I’ve not been near a toll road for well over a decade, but that might not be the case for every recipient, some of whom might not have paid their bill.

  It’s that edge case that scammers are targeting.

  … from Hotmail … the known origin of all official government notifications …

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What can I actually do with 64 GB or RAM?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, I’ve been using AWS for many years. I’m familiar :)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What can I actually do with 64 GB or RAM?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  In my case, I’m not a fan of running unknown code on the host. Docker and LXC are ways of running a process in a virtual security sandbox. If the process escapes the sandbox, they’re in your host.

  If they escape inside a VM, that’s another layer they have to penetrate to get to the host.

  It’s not perfect by any stretch of the imagination, but it’s better than a hole in the head.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What can I actually do with 64 GB or RAM?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I realise that you are making a joke, but here’s what I used it for:

  • Debian VM as my main desktop
  • Debian VN as my main Docker host
  • Windows VM for a historical application
  • Debian VM for signal processing
  • Debian VM for a CNC

  At times only the first two or three were running. I had dozens of purpose built VM directories for clients, different hardware emulation, version testing, video conferencing, immutable testing, data analysis, etc.

  My hardware failed in June last year. I didn’t lose any data, but the hardware has proven hard to replace. Mind you, it worked great for a decade, so, swings and roundabouts.

  I’m currently investigating, evaluating and costing running all of this in AWS. Whilst it’s technically feasible, I’m not yet convinced of actual suitability.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What can I actually do with 64 GB or RAM?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I used it for virtual machines and Docker containers.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Infuriating update to the broken lift plea. Signatures were added two days ago. And now someone has added a note.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Thanks for the transcript.

  In Australia there would be a legal requirement to have this fixed within a specified time. I wonder if there is a place to report this, since I suspect it likely contravenes several codes.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Infuriating update to the broken lift plea. Signatures were added two days ago. And now someone has added a note.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Forgive me, but I cannot read that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  How old are you?

  I’m asking because depending on your age, you’ll likely have different options.

  On the photo I saw two screws. Can you use them as a lever on either side against something like a long screwdriver, metal ruler or crowbar?

  The idea is to rotate it rather than wedge and lift, which is likely to make it worse.

  You might try WD40 in the joint.

  Silly question, but have you tried turning it the other way?

  Well, yes, that too.

  Mind you, I’ve seen instances where the spiders will fight them for it.
