@pikesley oh come on. Get that hooked up to a Markov chain immediately please.

@solderandchaos please can you bring some tiny robots to EMF? Maybe enough to overwhelm the tiny rabbits, but I’ll understand if that’s a little much.

@jonty in fairness you are a lunatic, it’s just that a great many people dearly love the path your lunacy has taken you down.

@pikesley I’ll put money on them wanting a subscription fee to use a mouse driver in the next six months, and this being the justification.

@pikesley what the fuck is this monstrosity?

You can tell new hardware to test for work has arrived because suddenly my desk is a mess, and there's an extension cable running across the floor so I can flash the thing from one of the Linux boxes in my network cupboard.

@astrid allow me to introduce you to building management networks, where people do exactly that on the grounds of “security”, and then run both subnets on the same physical network without VLANs.

@patcharcana @gsuberland @saraislet @http_error_418 I believe the intent there is that each production module can be removed and rebuilt without having to refactor the entire base. I wouldn’t know because I don’t have the patience to get much beyond launching a rocket.

@hugh I also work from home, I’m just generally out 6pm to 8pm, which happily coincides with high costs. I do know several people who aren’t and are still seeing a benefit though.

@hugh I think a big factor for me is that I’m almost always out for most of the evening peak, I’ll rarely start cooking until 7:30 or so.

@hugh @Edent I’m on Agile and the closest thing I have to a battery is a hot water tank and a storage heater. At least currently it’s significantly cheaper even if you don’t have much load that can be shifted around.

Just had an entire text conversation with my brother when after his first message we would send the same thought, at more or less the same time. We decided to stop on the basis we already knew what was going to be said.

I finally bit the bullet and bought a half decent coffee grinder and oh my, why did I wait so long? Consistently ground beans have transformed my morning espresso.

@CatherineFlick I’ve just been reminded just how surreal Twirlywoos is, haven’t watched it in years. I learnt what Fusion 360 I know from this very relaxed Australian guy on YouTube.

my new burger restaurant concept is inspired by modern software. the options for mayo are "yes" and "maybe later", and if you pick maybe later, the chef stands at your table with a squeezy bottle, threatening to add mayo to your burger when you least expect it

@q bottle of something very alcoholic, some toilet roll, a zippo. Job done.

@pikesley oh no, what has he done now?
